Kay Vess lives a dangerous life. But what can Star Wars Outlaws—and the card game it depicts—teach us about risk-taking, the Cold War, and the logic behind human collaboration?

I don't care what the haters say, The Mandalorian S3E3 "The Convert" is secretly a huge banger. It's the best look at the New Republic we've had since Aftermath, and features some delightful performances. Elia Kane has my whole heart.

i generally quite like OWK, it's a good character piece, but it's largely about different stuff! nonetheless, it stops for a few minutes 3/6ths of the way through to portray a type of grounded, rural authoritarian sentiment that's almost unheard of in the series onscreen. wild.

Han and Lando are at odds before ESB, which has meant at several points in extended story materials, they part on extremely bad terms. However, neither Legends nor Canon as of yet have gone with the most logical conclusion—the source of the tension being a VERY messy breakup.

A treasured tool of the reactionary pop culture critic is to say that something "breaks lore" instead of trying to figure out how it *fits into* established storytelling.
It's deeply incurious to say "I don't like this thing, so there's literally no way it can exist."
It's honestly so funny how fans say the Holdo Maneuver "breaks lore cause we'd see it more often" meanwhile Anakin literally did it within the first 4 episodes of the Clone Wars like cmon guys

The backlash Hamill got from right-wing freaks for being reasonably horrified by Trump kinda turned him into the Ultimate Liberal™. So you get these weird moments of him advocating for the Biden Admin with sheer confidence after the US has supported a genocide for seven months.

A fantastic thing that The Bad Batch does is illustrate the ways fascism can *take hold* of places and people. Crosshair is essentially your friend who got radicalized into right-wing thought because he was antisocial and looking for meaning and found it in the worst place.
I just think Andor and Bad Batch complement each other in such a strangely beautiful way. Tonally they’re very different from each other, but they both depict fascism in a very honest and truthful way, and how it reaches like rust into everything around us.

A huge element that people forget about when talking about political allegory in media is that WWII was within *recent memory* of the 1970s. It was as close to Star Wars as the 90s are to us. None of this stuff is as far off as we tell ourselves, politics are the air we breathe.

Fencesitting doesn't work.
As soon as you're "having conversations" about if queer and non-white people belong in a space, you're admitting you think their presence can be legitimately disagreed with.
And you're already well on your way to pushing those people out.
I'm just a blue collar working man YouTuber, and I want us all to be able to share our opinions freely. "I didn't like a show" is just as valid a take to have as "Filthy queers and black people are ruining Star Wars and we should talk about nothing else." I just want peace.

Star Wars does not exist in a vacuum. It replicates, and indeed reifies, certain ideas about the world we exist in. The idea that women, especially marginalized ones, are predisposed to *enjoying* sexual violence is a way our culture excuses that violence.
@Queener_Weener
I am now convinced that there are a class of fans that want every single Star Wars alien race, culture and civilization to conform to modern ideological norms. Norms that are not representative of our home countries let alone what one would see traveling today’s world. The end

when Star Wars includes a woman holding a lightsaber: "NOOO NOT POLITICS 😭😭🤬🔥😭🔥🤬🤬"
I understand and even agree with several criticisms of the sequels, but there are two I’ve never gotten
1. Rey isn’t given sufficient reason to be powerful, or trained
2. They’re overtly “political” films

An additionally interesting dimension of this storyline is that the location, Batuu, is *literally the place portrayed in Galaxy's Edge, the Star Wars theme park*. I don't intellectually know what to do with that yet, but it's a curious choice on the part of the writers.

Recently (possibly unsurprisingly to listeners), it's been the secession of the Centrists from the New Republic. It's SUCH a big addition to how we understand both the Cold War and the Resistance-First Order conflict, and it's...only mentioned in recent reference books.

It's a conceit of the show's inspirations, and I think it'll feel less jarring with plot and character context. But it's a damn far cry from the "messy life on the boonies" or "incredible urban squalor" that Star Wars tends to portray onscreen
