The Official Jedi View On Politics Is That They Try Not To Interfere And Do Not Trust Politicians, But

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised 

Me @ Lucasfilm it’s not that hard you guys 

vader didn’t have to fly to a small, remote moon to look for the remains of one, insignificant jedi in the old wreck of a republic cruiser, but anakin—oh, but anakin needed to.

headcanon

headcanon that Percy and Thalia have a super complicated handshake that they add onto every time they see each other no matter what, and the first time Thalia sees Percy after BoO she comes into camp and its all-

Thalia screaming running towards her cuz: PERCYYYYYYY

Percy, also screaming and running towards Thalia: THALIAAAAAAAAA

Thalia: Percy.

Percy: Thalia.

Thalia: Percy?

Percy: Thalia?

*they then proceed to do a ten-minute long handshake that includes four hip checks two different flip and one split from both of them at the same time*

Everyone: well that's not what I thought would happen.

@rainglazed reblogged your post and added:

But the thing about reality shows and docudramas is that they’re all very staged and framed - music, editing, camera angles, over arching narrative construction within a season.  So now I’m thinking what on earth could compel a studio to make a Jedi positive series during their wartime dip in popularity.  

Palpatine: I would appreciate an, ahem, frank yet still somewhat flattering portrayal of our republic’s heroes.  Make ‘em look good, but not too good, you know what I mean?  

Some artsy liberal film maker who’s aiming for the space oscars: jedi having mental breakdown in the middle of wartime perfect this is edgy as hell

Cue death of the author on not one, but two accounts as the galaxy realizes that Jedi deal with trauma and stress with less screaming and more ‘haha you think i can force push myself to that ledge after three stims and two hours of sleep watch this padawan- what no of course i’m fine everything’s fine here’s three more puns about the sweet embrace of death :)))’  

Basically Palpatine wanted dirt, the producers wanted angst, and what the galaxy accidentally got instead was five season and a movie of deadpan existential humor in the form of space monk family drama. 

Palpatine would have stopped this long ago but unfortunately he created a system where profit reigns supreme and the studio execs are rolling in credits and will have you pry the show from their cold dead hands.  THIS IS FEEDING THE WAR MACHINE CHANCELLOR. WE THOUGHT YOU’D BE HAPPY.

#jedi documentary au#ffffs ive been seeing this unfold on my dash on and off all day guys pLEASE#HAVE MERCY#IM ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN AT ONE TIME#forcearama why does this nonsense always start with you dsfaldj#participation points#long post (via @rainglazed)

All of this was amazing and then I died at the bolded tag. I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH ME. I’m a troublemaker, evidently. 

I feel like I owe the Star Wars fandom an apology because it keeps trying to be Serious and Discoursey, and I’m just over here writing recaps full of profanity and commentary about Obi-Wan’s swooshy hair, and making up stories about Anakin being a wholly ineffective Renaissance-Era gardener, or Vader sending sexts to Obi-Wan long after Mustafar. 

(To my new followers: welcome to my blog! I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into/I’m sorry.)

everyone talks about Nico and hades and Persephone and Thalia and Zeus and Hera and Thalia’s billion half-siblings but what wouldn’t I give to have Thalia and Nick witness the Silent, Awkward Family Dinner between Poseidon, Percy (Poseidon’s Favorite Son), Triton (Not Poseidon’s favorite son), and Amphitrite

we’ve talked about this already, i know, but i have to let you know i’m still obsessed with poseidon getting Bold and wanting to both impress percy and piss off his brothers by inviting nico and thalia into his domain for an Extended Family Dinner, and like. triton’s so fucking mad. triton’s like “father is it necessary to house these...... these cretins -” and poseidon’s laughing like “triton! you make the funniest jokes! of course it is necessary” because i think the most integral thing about poseidon is that he exists to flex on everyone around him. he’s got to be (marginally) a better dad than all those other shittier olympians, he’s gotta flex on triton by reminding triton that percy is the favorite, he even flexes on his own son by being better than percy is expecting. this dude exists to go “you thought and that was a mistake”

thalia’s in it for free food and a night off, and she’s kind of expecting dinner with a show. she does also enjoy doing things that will make zeus go wild. nico, too, enjoys free food, and also dinner with a show, but when percy asks him and makes those big baby seal eyes the remnants of nico’s ludicrously intense crush on percy make themselves known and nico’s like uh uh uh uh yeah uh uh yeah sure. thalia slaps nico’s back three times. she’s convinced he’s choking on something. so nico is convinced to do something that will undoubtedly piss hades off and endanger the hard-earned respect he’s gotten from hades after the titan war, but, you know, things sometimes happen that way when percy jackson makes big baby seal eyes at you.

but i think we both agreed.... this dinner is chaos. percy spends most of it unintentionally winding triton up, and tyson’s just excited to have everyone around, and thalia’s shoving food into her pockets because she can see a vein in triton’s neck bulging. nico is looking between percy and triton and poseidon and trying to figure out why triton is blue, and also trying to come to terms with the fact that percy and poseidon look a lot alike, and that’s a super uncomfortable thing to know about the guy you had a major crush on. percy’s telling tyson a story about how he fought phobos and deimos and poseidon is BEAMING and triton interrupts it to spear the table with his trident shouting YOU DON’T DESERVE FATHER’S AFFECTION!!!!!! and amphitrite is like triton we just replaced this table after the last time you broke it, which was the last time perseus was here. and percy’s like......... he sticks his tongue out at triton and triton goes absolutely feral

poseidon notices nico’s thousand-yard stare and claps him on the shoulder, laughing a low rumbling laugh, and says boys will be boys! percy has jumped over the table and he and triton are just wrestling in the water, triton’s screaming obscenities and percy keeps repeating EAT MY PANTS in latin. tyson is clapping and cheering for percy. thalia, professional shit-stirrer, starts cheering for triton

We need to bring back the athletics body type post

percy watching the minotaur walk around new rome in business casual after nico & his dumbass boyfriend decided to fight for monster reform or something. idk

GOD star wars: the clone wars (2008-2014) was the absolute fucking BEST. u do absolutely not get anymore buckwild than the insane range of emotions that these seven seasons can put u thru. obi-wan commits a war crime in the first episode. anakin drinks a space martini. a sixteen-year-old decapitates four men in a single second and it is literally never mentioned again. anakin, obi-wan, and mace windu find SPACE GODZILLA and the entire jedi order collectively drinks We Love Peta™ juice, decide not to kill it, bring it to the capital city, and it breaks out (ofc) and kills, like, a half million people. sheev just hangs out in padme’s office for six whole seasons being, i dunno, evil and absolutely not a single person catches on. there’s a blue guy in a dope-ass big hat who beats every single jedi’s ass and they still only call him, “that guy in the hat.” darth maul’s been living in a literal garbage dump with eight legs for the past ten years. anakin endorses state-sponsored terrorism. padme once contracted the black death. the jedi order tries to prosecute a twelve-year-old for war crimes. maul is forcibly murdered two (2) times over and still lives for some bananas fucking reason. whenever anakin does something mildly risky the darth vader theme plays. yoda asks anakin if they’re friends. the jedi order tries to prosecute a sixteen-year-old for war crimes. a cartoon made for twelve-year-olds has a four-episode arc about government oversight of international banking. this all happens in the range of three years. this show is absolutely fucking nuts.
