Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you, here, between you, me, the tree, the rock – everywhere.

So apparently “THE RISE OF SKYWALKER” means that the last of the Skywalker bloodline die and the one to rise is someone completely different who just takes their name, because she doesn’t like hers.

So what you’re telling me is that what Shmi Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, both Luke and Leia and even Ben went through and accomplished means nothing.

Shmi, giving her son up, so that he could do good and be safe and have a life and be free and then dying, maybe as a part of the plot to turn her son to the darkside;

Anakin, growing up as a slave, then being taken from his loving mother to some place where people were either scared of him, some perhaps jealous of him and some completely disregarding him; watching his mother die every night in his visions, only when he finally finds a way to her, watching her die, because she was tortured to death, and watching as she struggles to tell him, she loves him and fails; losing his padawan, because the jedi council cared more about politics than one of their own and the truth; being under constant stress because of a war and the pressure and then another visions of the love of his live dying in childbirth, which gives it even more inevitabiliy; all this while fighting off a sith trying to lure him to the darkside for over a decade and resisting bravely for so damn long; being the one to cause the death of his wife; turning to slave once again and becoming everything he hated for nothing; dying and finally managing to both fulfil the prophecy and save the person he loves;

Luke, never knowing his parents and being raised by his uncle and aunt, who die horribly; watching the last person he has left, a teacher, to die too; fighting for the rebellion against an empire that rules the galaxy; wanting to save his friends, failing, getting his hand cut off and learn the fact that the fearsome sith is his father; witnessing another teacher to die; fighting again, almost losing, being tortured and almost killed with the only weapon he has, being the faith in the good he sensed in his father;

Leia, also never knowing her real parents and being raised as a politician, which she hated; doing the risky job of a rebel since a very young age; being tortured watching her homeworld being turned literally into ash with the help of someone she would later learn is her father; looking as the man she loves is being frozen to be a wall decoration; being turned into something that is obviously meant to be a sex slave; losing her brother the moment she learns she has one only to maybe never see him again; leading an attack that might be their last chance, last spark of hope for the rebellion;

Ben, being separated from his parents to become a jedi; during his training instead of making his parents and uncle proud, being targeted to became a pawn, a servant, probably fighting as much as he could and yet failing; waking up only to see that the darkness in him scared even his own uncle so much, he thought to kill him for a second; thinking he is not enough, because there was light in him; finally breaking out of his chains only to realize he isn’t free at all yet; managing what only his grandfather accomplished and refusing the darkness completely at last to return to the light for the memory of his parents; fighting the man that almost destroyed the galaxy and his family before;

After leading the galaxy one way or another - Anakin first as a hero, being the one doing all he could to save the republic; then as Darth Vader, the terror-bearer spreading fear into the enemies of the emperor; Luke and Leia, restoring the galaxy with the new republic, Ben as Kylo Ren, ruling the first order - the Skywalkers are diminished, belitteled, disregarded and degraded and they mean nothing.

Their accomplishments and failures, victories and losses

it all means nothing

in the shadow of Rey Palpatine who decided to take their name.

The last Skywalker dies, their family falls, their blood disappears from the galaxy and yet here is the name The Rise of Skywalker telling us, that she is the Skywalker to rise. That the family of the Skywalker blood, which did to the galaxy as much good as they did bad, dying, means nothing, that they mean nothing.

That the name is nothing and always has been nothing until Rey took it. That nothing has changed since when we first met Shmi and Anakin - they all meant as much as the first Skywalker to her surroundings - nothing, but tool and merchandise for both the jedi and the sith.

Skywalkers always manage to find the dead end…. family thing.

Interesting theory on a potential literary influence for both Octopath Traveler’s narrative structure and the distinctive speech patterns of H’annit and her village in the English localization. Having read The Canterbury Tales at university I’m still not entirely convinced that the localizers were aiming for strict fidelity to the rules of Middle English (essentially English with even more obvious French influence, both in spelling and phonetics), but at the same time it’s not a completely arbitrary writing choice.

Primrose: H'aanit your my best friend and I would fuck you if you asked me to.

H'aanit: What?

Primrose: What?

Therion (screaming from the back of the party): SHE SAID SHE WOULD FUCK YOU IF YOU ASKED HER TO!

Noa loves hearing about Tressa’s adventures. And Tressa never gets tired of sharing them with her. 

I ADORE Tressa and her story was so sweet and lovely. I can’t get over how she ultimately befriends Noa and shares the love of adventure with her by gifting her beloved travel journal… I care them!! They’re adventure gfs!! 

Reading over debates and flame wars on this site about the Jedi, Sith or literally anything about Star Wars made me realize how truly futile it is to have true debates on canon. You just can't.

All of the retcons, continuity errors, levels of canon and the differences between Legends and Disney canon just make everyone's arguments valid in their own selected universes. You can't really expect other people to simply drop their universes that they grew up with, bought merchandise and became attached (ironic) to in terms of characters. Having a discussion about worldbuilding or characterization is practically impossible.

It's like arguing on Luke's characterization, only one person in the discussion is using the Star Wars universe and the other is using the Percy Jackson universe as their basis. There's no connection; you're all right in your own universes. And it all just goes round and round and round forever.

I really love this AU! I think its idea is incredible and creative and its designs are so well done!!! Hope you enjoy this shitty fanart :3

Just a redraw of my first fan art posted here :/
