A wild casual post appears
I have done largely nothing but sleep, sleep, sleep, and sleep in my free time, so I haven't felt very social and have barely made anything for tumblr (most of what I've posted was either scheduled ahead of time or made previously for easy posting), so I'm going to make an effort to get my head out of that space and be a little more social on this journal.
- I'm a little >:/ about tumblr pulling all these shenanigans this week, because on Wednesday the last issue of Dark Lord of the Sith comes out and I'm pretty sure I'm going to WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT A LOT.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
glompcat showed me Soule posted the first page of the issue on twitter and WHOA SO INTERESTING. It's beautiful, but also seeing Vader's spirit disconnect from his body, seeing it in the style of the earlier meditation, the possible implications (or is it just because it looks cool??) of what that place is--Ezra was able to step into the World Between Worlds with his physical body, to pull Ahsoka into that place with her physical body. Is it just that the Jedi who built the Lothal temple were better at it? Did they have help from the Ones? Is the Mustafar doorway still imperfect? Is this not the World Between Worlds?
I kind of doubt that we're going to get concrete answers, that's not Star Wars' style, especially not when we still have the looming question of what exactly Vader is trying to accomplish (asglompcat and sethnakht I think both have pointed out, Vader never confirms that that's what he's going there for) that has to be addressed, and to wrap all of this up with the themes that have been present in the story all the way through.
I am interested to see where this goes and I'll miss this story when it's done. Hopefully, I'll be able to spend more time catching up on the main ongoing, because I think that one gets some conversation going, too!
- January isn't that far away now, so the next Age of Republic comic will be the Obi-Wan one, which is one of the few (I think??) pre-AOTC stories we'll have and then a week after that, we're getting Pirate's Price (Hondo counts as a prequels character!), then the Jango Fett comic, then the Star Wars Adventures comic about Padme and Jar Jar, then the Age of Republic special with the three stories about Mace, Ventress, and Rex, then the Age of Republic Anakin comic, then the Age of Republic Dooku comic, then Star Wars Adventures has an Obi-Wan and Rex comic, then Queen's Shadow, then Choose Your Destiny: An Obi-Wan and Anakin Adventure, then the Padme and Grievous Age of Republic comics somewhere in there, and then Master and Apprentice. That's a really steady stream of prequels content over the next three and a half months, a lot of which focuses on Obi-Wan and it makes me wonder how much stock there was to that rumor that the Obi-Wan movie was supposed to have happened, the theory that we might have been getting it around the time all of this would be leading up to, or if it's just that the prequels are finally coming back into fashion.
All of this stuff takes years to plan out, so a lot of this would have been in the works for awhile, which means I can believe it's just that it took this long for the prequels stuff to come out, even though the tide has been shifting back in their favor for awhile OR I can believe it was supposed to be a build-up to an Obi-Wan movie that got put on the back burner because of Solo.
Either way, lots of prequels content! I'm SO NERVOUS about that Master and Apprentice book, but I guess I'm gonna have to read it anyway.
- I never watched much of Voltron: Legendary Defender beyond the first season, so I can't really weigh in on any of the discourse, I only reblogged pretty Allura fanart, but I think it's safe to say BULLET DODGED THERE.
To the point that, knowing a lot of the people who were involved in that fandom are going to head over to She-Ra fandom (along with some thorny personal experiences around the show), makes me sort of want to dodge that bullet, too.
Oh, well, Steven Universe comes back today AND I AM EXCITED. I hope to gif it when it drops, but also it might be nice to write up a reaction post where I'm not afraid tumblr will reblog it and scream at me for daring to just casually like something instead of hating it with the fire of a thousand suns.

*drive by hugs for you, btw* My sleep schedule is kind of wonky and I've retreated into making a crapload of gifs, I'm not sure if it's depression sneaking up on me or just that usual go-around cycle of what captures my attention. Guess I'll find out soon enough! ^_~
