One Of The Things That Was So Goodwas Leia And The Force, That Her Way Isnt To Have Lightning Fast Reflexes

One of the things that was so good was Leia and the Force, that her way isn’t to have lightning fast reflexes because she sees things a moment before they happen or any kind of physical dexterity, but that her way with the Force is that that girl looks at someone and deadass stares right into their fucking soul. She nails her cousin to the wall, almost otherworldly when a calm descends over her and she eviscerates him by exposing his desperate desire to have his father like him, that he just repeats what he’s heard without understanding what it means, she saw into that boy’s soul like it was nothing, this little girl is just as fuckoff power in the Force as her brother is. She does the same with Obi-Wan, she just fucking looks at him and reads him like a book, “You think the less you say, the less you give away, but, really, it’s the opposite.” and she doesn’t seem like a ten year old in that moment and I love how weird the Force makes people in particular moments, that you get used to them being feral chaos gremlins or gentle teachers or the whole gamut of personality types, and then there’s a moment where it’s otherworldly and strange and I love that, but also that Leia’s powers are not like her brothers, her way with the Force is entirely her own and the show was so good at showing that.

I'd just like to appreciate little Leia's actress for a moment. She captured Carrie's manerisms and tone incredibly. Like that scene where Obi-wan talks about Padme and Leia is walking away? I swear she walked just liked Leia does in A New Hope. And her delivery of lines, her sass, her assurance, it's just all so Leia <3

I can’t be mad that the Inquisitors seem to have figured out who Darth Vader really is because the show explains exactly how it happened:  They’re all vying to be the one to bring Obi-Wan Kenobi in, they’ll literally stab each other for the chance to be the one to impress Vader, which means that Vader is just as obsessed with Obi-Wan as he ever was, and no former Jedi turned Inquisitor can hear Darth Vader talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi, can hear him bring up Obi-Wan in every single goddamned conversation like he does in the movies despite that nobody was fucking talking about him, and not get smacked in the face with it like a giant wet dish rag like “ohhhhhh I have heard this monologue before, goddammit, that’s fucking Anakin Skywalker, isn’t it, isn’t it”.

Teaser for "Ahsoka".

cannot emphasize enough just how much i ADORE that the obi wan-leia dynamic consists of only about ten minutes passing before obi wan is speaking to her in his “anakin for the love of fucking god PLEASE” voice and only about ten minutes more before leia gives him a goddamn heart attack
