Me *supposed To Be Trying To Fall Asleep*: Oh My Gosh, None Of The Jedi Starfighters Had Hyperdrives!

Me *supposed to be trying to fall asleep*: Oh my gosh, none of the Jedi Starfighters had hyperdrives! Palpatine didn’ want them to escape if they were in a starfighter when the time came to execute Order 66!

That sneaky, clever, manipulative monster.

The only time that I doubted that the Rebels would be successful in securing the Death Star Plans was that corridor scene.

I almost fully expected that datacard to be destroyed only for us to learn that there was another copy that made it to safety or that another ship got the transmission which is how Leia got the plans.

Fun Fact: in the original novelization of the first Star Wars movie Darth Vader appears when the fighting was still at the hatch and the Rebel Troops fled in terror.

Why is the Star Trek fandom so calm and collected and then the Star Wars fandom is like running by on fire, constantly

This was years ago but I became so emotionally distraught over a fan fic that I couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep for 24 hours.

My throat would close up every time I tried to eat.

I had wanted to read more of it and follow it to the conclusion with hopes of everything being made right but it wasn’t worth the toll it was going to take on my body.

We get invested in characters and it hurts when bad things happen to them; even in fan fics.

As for people that I don’t know personally there are people that I only know over the Internet that I will go to war for if I learn that they are being mistreated by someone.

When I learned that someone was posting fan fic stuff based off of someone I lurk on and feed their muse on occasion Headcanons and stuff that they post and not crediting them I was already to go to war and when I learned that that the thief had set up a patreon account so people could pay them for it I was livid and promptly went to get the information that I needed to give to my Internet Friend so that they could report them to patreon for abuse.

They didn’t want to so I let things lie because I recognized that I was flipping mad and out for blood and didn’t want to upset them any further by doing it myself because there would be malice in it: I would be reporting them for hurting a friend and the fact that they were breaking the rules would be the small secondary reason.

For all of you who need to hear this

I have wanted to say this for awhile and now I’m going to say it.

By saying that Rey’s parents sold her into slavery to protect her in TRoS they went from drunks/addicts looking for their next fix that did something morally reprehensible for their addiction on one level or another we could understand that they were sick and while being sick didn’t justify or make them selling their daughter into slavery any less horrific we have real world examples of people doing horrible things that they normally wouldn’t do to feed their addictions.

Now instead of being addicts with a terrible, yet sadly understandable, excuse they knowingly and willfully sell their daughter into slavery to “protect” her from Sidious and those searching for her; knowing full well that she would be starved, beaten and might meet an early death due to mistreatment. It’s just as morally reprehensible as before the retcon without the understanding that they were sick and their addictions were more important than their child.

Honestly I prefer the alcoholic/drug addicts parents to the supposed noble parents that sacrificed themselves for her.

If they wanted to make her parents noble they SHOULD have had her parents leave her with another couple and after some time the couple she had been left with sold her for money to feed their addictions.

There, you have noble parents yet don’t make them horrible parents by having them be the ones that sold her into slavery.

I am not justifying addicts behavior in any way; just saying that when you’re addicted you do things that you normally wouldn’t do to feed it.

He even declares that the Force is more powerful than the Desth Star. The Jedi liked to say just how powerful the Force is; Yoda basically repeats the sentiment to Luke: size matters not.
