steven soderbergh's ben solo film @soyauntie.bsky.social · 18h

us for years: they're leaving it open so they can bring him back at a future point

adam driver: I have assembled a team to depict ben solo's return for $100

bob iger: jared leto is one of our finest living actors, don't you agree?

I LOVE that disney did this to themselves by excluding Ben Solo from the force ghost reveal at the end of the movie, inadvertently creating a lore where he’s the ONLY character who’s vanished onscreen but then not come back as a force ghost, making it so easy for him to be alive

the assumption was always that he’d be the most difficult to lure back, so to know they had him locked the fuck in and hype is so baffling it can only be explained by Iger having reddit chud opinions

like on one hand, i feel vindicated that there are still people involved in SW who care about the story and actually seem to realize that the ending was narratively inappropriate & want to change that, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, i'm so disappointed and angry that it didn't happen...

forget about how cathartic it would be for the story they've been telling for almost 50 years to no longer end in tragedy (and the impact restoring the balance of the force would have on the gffa), i can't even comprehend how allergic to money you'd have to be to pass on this

the amount of writing & storytelling that has happened due to both "Rey deserves to have the dude she wants forever!" AND "I don't think Hermione would want the dude she has forever"

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Star Wars ending in anything but an absolute unapologetic joyous celebratory happy ever after is an utter mythically incorrect ending, argue with a wall

is your moral backbone also made of cheese? because if watching a cartoon or reading a book is enough to completely override your sense of right and wrong, you must not have had any real convictions in the first place.

fiction can and will ALWAYS affect reality. why do you think most people believe sharks with attack them???? why do you think people assume rodents can eat cheese???? problematic tropes are no different, especially when its used for pleasure

Anyway as I understand it traditional publishing is struggling and you can decry the fact that they don’t publish what you want to read, but publish writing they know people already like would seem to be a symptom, rather than a cause. Again, I can only recommend touting the stuff you *do* like.

"Not to mention Johnson had his script done before TFA released & so he started filming with little to no idea what the reactions would be or that fans would desperately want stuff like more scenes of Finn + Poe"

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.
