When all is done, I plan on combining it all in a lovely PDF for download!
Question 2: Why so many authors? and can you subscribe?
I am not much of a writer.
comics take a long time! so If I was to do all the stories as art, it would take 100 years! It was nothing something I planned in the beginning, but sort of just grew as an idea as I moved through my own story – and then I just…asked.
The authors are some of my best pals on here, and I thought it would be fun to include them in this.
there’s something super interesting about this type of collab and for me to see how they approach the material I give them. I’ve been so happy about it! Also, all of these people have different projects and asking them to write a 5-6 chapter story seemed a bit *too* much.
In terms of subscription, I think the best approach is to follow me on twitter or tumblr. I post all the collabs here 🙂 Or maybe I’ll do a thing on Ao3. Undecided!
Obi-Wan drinking that tea and aggressively minding his own business
I distinctly remember drawing this like 3-4 days after the Last Jedi premiere: everyone was ARGUING about TLJ and I was kinda tired of it, so I went and hid in the Clone Wars side of the fandom
@DelReyStarWars: Summer 2019 – THRAWN: TREASON by Timothy Zahn. Set before the finale of Rebels, Thrawn’s Imperial loyalty is tested, he crosses paths with Orson Krennic, and his protégé Eli Vanto returns with dire warnings about Thrawn’s homeworld.
“If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.”
Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor Palpatine at their first meeting. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire’s most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive.
Now, as Thrawn’s TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennic’s secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or tactical efficiency. Even the greatest intellect can hardly compete with the power to annihilate entire planets.
As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn’s homeworld. Thrawn’s mastery of strategy must guide him through an impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing treason.
I reached 200 followers, and it’s something I’m happy about, for how small it may seem to many people. I was planning on posting something more complex (and nakey) to celebrate, but wouldn’t it be sad if no one could see it because it’s flagged?
So I backed up on this old reylo hug sketch with some photoshop greyscaling (it’s a tecnique that’s starting to grow on me)
hoping that you’re all haviing a good day, stay strong fellow reylos!
The difference between the dark and light sides appeared to be in how
they feel to those who are aware of them. The light side at times was
described as a flowing river: soothing, constant, with hidden strength.
In contrast, the dark side was described as a roaring fire: obviously
powerful, seductive, and potentially dangerous.
Disclaimer: bullfighting is a highly controversial topic. My meta is not an apology of bullfighting, I am not taking any stance in this particularly sensitive subject. I do not condone animal cruelty, and I am not trying to glorify it. I am merely illustrating what I think is an influence in the aesthetic or reference behind the duel on Crait between Luke and Kylo.
Precision: I will only focus on the movies (not the TV shows or comics, books or EU). I was going to write just on Crait but as I was working on the post, it seemed to me really important to address the theme of blood throughout the movies in order to better understand the impact of that scene. So bear with me throughout the digression about blood in Star Wars.
It starts with the idea that Crait is probably the goriest scene in all of SW in intent, if not so much in reality. Which makes it quite unique. But also seems like a logical apex in a trilogy (the ST that is) which could very well be a “trilogy of blood”.
