Look, the Star Wars fandom has developed inexplicable fixations on a lot of minor characters over the years, but Boba Fett isn't one of them – that one was 100% explicable.

Picture this: you're a kid in 1978, and a big fan of a little movie called Star Wars that came out the previous year. You've just found out that they're going to be airing a TV special based on the movie around Christmas this year, so of course you tune in. The live-action portions of the special are weird and kind of nothing, but right in the middle there's a nine-minute animated short film focusing on a whole new character you've never heard of before: cool-as-fuck deep space bounty hunter Boba Fett. Obviously, you want to know more – but it turns out that adults hated the special so much that it never airs again. And remember, this was a couple of years before home VCR ownership exploded, so bootleg tapes were hard to come by, and 95% of households lacked the hardware to play them anyway. The animated short, and its title character, become this big cipher, the subject of schoolyard legends spread by the kids who were lucky enough to catch it the one and only time it aired.

Two years later, a proper Star Wars sequel hits theatres, and there he is.

Is it really any wonder?

(Amusingly, this makes Boba Fett the prototypical case of Expanded Universe material hyping the fuck out of a villain, only for George Lucas to turn around and casually kill him off in a silly way for a cheap laugh, years before the EU was even properly a thing.)

I like to promote the headcanon that Leia and Luke are not fans of grand parties

if you dont have homemade blorbo to torture store bought is fine

genuinely i do not remember making this post. judging by the timestamp i must have woken up, written this, and immediately gone back to sleep. i must thus draw two conclusions:

1) my subconscious is better at tumblring than i am

2) i was, presumably, dreaming about blorbo torture

smh u-haul lesbians

ok. on date. we aren't quite hungry yet so we go to the used game/movie/whatever store down the street. we look around at dvds for especially good or bad finds. a thought strikes me that i kind of want to watch jupiter ascending. i turn. instantly make eye contact with the one copy on the shelf. show it to them. they've never heard of it. perfect. i can inflict it on them. go to checkout. all is well. it's like $6 which is way too much but i still want it. cashier opens box. someone has absolutely 1000% stolen the disk for 2015's masterpiece, jupiter ascending, starring eddie redmayne, you know, that one. pilfered. vanished. me and the cashier are dumbfounded. THIS movie? he reaches under the counter and fiddles around in a box. finds a second, loose, disc. puts it in my box. still charges $6. sends us on our way. who is out here stealing jupiter ascending. why didn't you just steal the whole box. it can not have been that much harder

After 6 years, a new Hbomberguy movie review has hit letterboxd

@fishtree7

Stacker Pentecost + iconic lines

Everyday, Jango Fett wakes up in an all-white facility on a dark, isolated ocean planet inhabited by a society of near-permanently apathetic individuals, and raises a scientifically-engineered, living mirror of his younger self as a son an heir, while training millions of his other childhood doppelgängers to become killing machines ( with the aid of fellow refugees and exiles of his native culture ). All while under the watchful eye of a rich and powerful dark wizard who promised him vengeance against the galaxy that took everything he ever loved from him.

What a perfect cosmic/psychological/medical/supernatural(?) horror movie of a life.

the amongus crewmate really was a gift to humanity. the world had enough crudely drawn dicks on bathroom stall doors we needed another shape to instantly strike annoyance and discomfort in the viewer

Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade commission for @sonofcarnelian ❤️🖤

One of the things from the old Star Wars stories that I will never get rid of is Mara Jade and romance with Luke Skywalker. I love these two together, Mara is the perfect wife for Luke.
