I like Star Wars and video games, and the only sports I care about is Austin FC.

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

@IMAO_ Yeah I could never give a fuck about he-man.

We need to stop acting as if people like this are “not convinced” and start recognizing them as “committed to a lie.”

@OliverJia1014 I meet your pedantry and sarcasm with my own: if Sheev hadn't been distracted by his succession plans going awry, he probably could have easily done some sith shit and prevented the alliance's incursion into the superstructure.

That’s my goat. Incredible, man.

If true this would be a huge win for feminism. Women are grossly underrepresented in the dictatorship and authoritarianism fields

Zohran Mamdani is not dividing the U.S.

Mamdani is standing up against war crimes.
Everyone should do that.

Respect.

Family wealth generated while holding office.

We are not angry enough about this.

@Dennis_Gregorio I guess that's the direction they were coming from.

Tony Gilroy ending his speech with “fuck the empire” was so powerful and made me honestly emotional. His whole speech was so impactful and I’m forever grateful Kathleen Kennedy fought for Andor so he could make it the way he wanted. He didn’t just change Star Wars forever but he made something that will never stop being relevant to the world. Andor was so much more than a Star Wars story. It’s undoubtedly one of the best shows ever made. I’m glad it’s getting the praise that it deserves and I hope he makes more projects in the future that showcase the injustices of our world. There will never be something as meaningful in Star Wars as Andor. It is truly an anomaly.

[Yerrr 🇵🇸 @MaceAhWindu]

When I heard

“the empire is choking us so slowly that we’re starting not to notice.”

In the Andor teaser trailer, I deep down knew this was gonna be a profound piece of storytelling

Because a line like that takes crafting. I had never heard something like that in SW before

[Tatooine Sons @TatooineSons]

Did Rian Johnson really have any other choice?

JJ Abrams wrote a story in The Force Awakens built off of the MacGuffin that Luke Skywalker had disappeared. An apprentice had fallen to the Dark Side, and that led Luke to go off to a place no one could find him.

So, what could Rian have done differently with Luke Skywalker when he set out to write a consistent story that builds off of The Force Awakens?

[Godot @GodotIsW8ing4U]

Andor is the miracle but it *shouldn't* be. Tony Gilroy isn't even a Star Wars fan, he's just an experienced industry professional who understands how to properly tell stories, and he did the job he was hired for. Andor should be the quality *standard* for Star Wars.

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars since The Empire Strikes Back. I will die on this hill.

[Isabella // star wars fangirl maxxing ✨ @isabellaamidala]

star wars is a spectrum and that’s what makes it so fucking fun

[Rushi @rushicrypto]

I genuinely don’t understand why people panic over birth rates dropping.

there’s 8 billion of us already.
housing is expensive, jobs are unstable, people are burnt out, and somehow the concern is “we need more humans”?

maybe people just don’t want to bring kids into a world that already feels impossible to survive in.

[Christopher Hooks @cd_hooks]

A year ago James Talarico was a mildly notable state legislator and now a cartel is going to spend $200 million dollars to convince the nation he’s gay. Democracy kicks ass

[Michaś🇵🇱🏳️‍🌈🟢 @zuk_micha]

I really hate perception that Star Wars IS a movie/tv show brand.

Like bro the best stories out there are in the books and comics which exist even longer than movies and tv shows.

Star Wars was always an intermedia brand. Books and comics were always an important part of it
