I Just Had A Thought That Made Me Both Confused And Feel Really Big Brain-

“do you feel ashamed when you hear my name?”

except it’s luke vs all of chb

Adding some of my own bc this made me cackle

10. You can put on a disguise (ie. put on storm troopers uniform, or pose as a droid etc.) and seamlessly fit in for at least 5-10min.

11. Only like 2 ppl in the group can understand the droids for seemingly no reason

12. Being tortured for info always just means that they end up just tired and maybe sore

13. “Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure the force can get us out of this” - protagonist probably (they’re usually right)

14. That bigger fish will always end up helping the hero’s somehow

15. Also on the button thing- in a new/enemy ship there is a 50/50 shot of the Hero’s knowing exactly which buttons to use, or learning how it’s used in almost no time.

16. Also on the door panel thing, everyone universally knows how to “hot wire” any door panel if given enough time

17. The confident hero who hasn’t explained the plan will have the plan go wrong at least once

18. If the planet looks like a desert it is either home to drugs, mines, slavery, a misunderstood nomadic people or E all of the above

19. Assume that every stormtrooper is super weak willed and the force will work on them

Some of my favorite hyper-specific Star Wars tropes:

1. Shooting a door panel instantly does what you need it to do

2. Also those door panels always have a max of 3 buttons and everyone universally knows how to use them

3. The heroes are generally always trying to avoid capture, rescue someone captured, escape from getting recaptured, or D. all of the above.

4. Children sneaking in the walls/ceilings/shafts

5. You can just paint a droid black and send it into an imperial base covertly

6. There’s always a bigger fish

7. The sheer amount of imperial clearance codes stolen on the daily should be more alarming to the Empire

8. Back on the buttons thing, there’s always an egregious amount of buttons, switches, levers on a ship or console and none of them are ever labeled but, again, everyone just KNOWS how to use them

9. The clones are all notoriously horrible liars

….I told you they were hyper specific

Lmk if there are any you all have picked up on while watching (and rewatching) 🫶🏻

Rebloging this because sometimes you need faith in humanity again

Idk something about people from out of town coming to see the eclipse and everyone coming outside and looking up and pointing at the shadows and updating each other on how much time there is until totality and sharing glasses and warning strangers to not look at the sun without them. I like when you get a minute to just be people

I just need to put this heat to remember it exists- cuz I love it lol

You can tell the exact mental state of Dick Grayson based on the music he plays in the car

His entire family monitors his listening habits, and if it's anything but things from the list of genres and artists that Dick normally likes while provably mentally stable, they get concerned.

Tim, texting the group chat without Dick in it: Hey, guys, just needed to let y'all know that Dick picked me up today, and he put on an NF song in the car.

Barbara: Fuck, he's depressed.

Steph: Isn't he always?

Barbara: No, like--more than usual.

-

A week later.

Jason: Y'all, I'm with him rn and he's blasting S&M in the training room. One of you bitches--and I will find out who--triggered some body image issues, and now he's sexualizing himself to cope.

Tim: Did one of you guys call him ugly or smth???

Steph: I would never. I'm not a mean person, unlike you guys.

Damian: Why did you immediately assume it was one of us?

Jason: Because y'all are terrible people.

Tim: I'm not taking this from a literal gang leader.

Jason: But I admit, that is a bit of a jump on my part. It could've been any of Dick's trash friends that he, for some reason, keeps around, so that's on me.

Cass: Monitor him so he doesn't do anything drastic.

Barbara: Let me know if he starts compulsively thinking about becoming a stripper.

Jason: If that happens, there's no saving him.

-

After Dick returns from Spyral.

Duke: Now this just might be me, but I don't think I ever pegged Dick as a metalhead before he went off to work for Spyral.

Tim: Dear god.

Tim: Don't tell me he's listening to SOAD.

Duke: What even is that.

Jason: System of a Down

Duke: Oh, yeah, it's that.

Tim: NOOOOOOO

Duke: What does that mean???

Barbara: He's self-destructive.

Steph: Isn't he normally?

Barbara: No, like--I mean yes, but more explosively.

Jason: His main goal is to blow up...

Barbara: Don't.

Steph: aND THEN ACT LIKE HE DON'T KNOW NOBODY

Jason: HAH HAH HAH HAH

Barbara: This is serious.

-

Steph: He's listening to vocaloid. That's....so odd??? @Damian did you have anything to do with this?

Tim: oh my god

Damian: The answer to this question is of high importance: what song is it?

Steph: Do you think I can speak Japanese??

Damian: Ask.

Steph: omg fine.

Steph: He says it's "Assassin Princess" by Mitchie M.

Tim: Hold on lemme listen to this shit

Damian: It's a good song.

Jason: Okay, but what does that tell us?

Damian: It's not a song I ever played for him.

Jason: So you're telling me he's listening to vocaloid independent of you?

Damian: It would appear so.

Jason: Oh, that's bad.

Tim: The song's about a spy and her partner murdering her ex-boyfriend who betrayed her.

Steph: He's feeling vengeful.

Jason: Oh, that's really bad.

-

Cass: He's playing One Direction.

Barbara: Honestly?? Chances are, he's fine.

Duke: Agreed. He's playing "What Makes You Beautiful", so I doubt it's anything.

Duke: Now if he starts playing shit from their solo careers, we have a problem.

Same and at this point I’ll take anything for luck, especially the potato

I must reblog… this thread has the same energy as “AND MY AXE-”

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

This heals my soul… I just finished the clone wars and ep3…

I needed this.

#plo’s bros are the best

Do you think Plo Koon's mask also has a translator inside it which makes his language understandable in basic?

Because being rather reptilian/insectoid in appearance, I assume that their main method of communication is probably screeching and clicks, rumbles and vibrations.

Also because:

Plo: ... and once Wolffe, Sinker and I give the signal, we will... *mask crackles, unintelligible screeching noises*

*Plo stops talking, adjusts his mask and tries again*

Plo: *more screeching*

Shinies: *horrified whimpering*

Plo: *sad eyes at Wolffe*

Wolffe: *rolls eyes* The General is having translation issues. What he said was 'once we give to signal, you are to advance and rendezvous with us at the marked co-ordinates'. Understood?

Plo: *gentle clicking noises*

Wolffe: And... *sighs* he says he's proud of us.

Everyone else: *stunned silence*

Plo: *soft screech*

Wolffe: *glaring at him* Really, General? Do I have... Ugh, fine. And the General says he... loves us... *blushes furiously*

Plo: *delighted clicking noises*

I absolutely love the “humans are space orcs” ideas- but this one specifically gives me joy

Like I love the idea that if other aliens have a hive mind/collective consciousness- they don’t have body language and thus don’t understand ours.

WE HAVE A SECRET CODE PEOPLE!!

So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.

What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.

Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.

Finally!!! :D
