I think I’m gonna shelve this for a little and come back to it later

I’m honestly not a fan so far and am thankful for what we got with George Lucas’ revised script

“C-3PO”: You overweight glob of grease!
“R2-D2”: You’re a mindless, useless philosopher.

Omg why are star destroyers doing rolls in the air

Lmao let’s see what Rinzler made based on rough draft George

Also the cover art by Nick Runge is gorgeous

Of course, there’s more to life than trouble.

That was nice

“I choose my fashion statements very carefully. Whenever we have a choice in something, Mouse—and we don’t always—I believe in seizing the reins, going all out…And making that choice bow to you. But…you are not there yet, hmm? You are hiding. Scared of something. It’s okay to not be okay, Mouse.”

I love you Virginia Woolf

Dr. Seward on Sept. 20th: weird, Lucy’s canines are weirdly long, must be a trick of a light

Can’t remember what day but this was hilarious:

“how long has Lucy been like this?”

“…10 days…”

“10 DAYS?!?”

Sorry Mom by Vi Cao hits hard

Looking forward to this, especially art by Phil Noto

“…If we want change, or good fortune, or solace, we have to create it for ourselves. …”

Feels especially poignant right now.

Dex raised an eyebrow. “That’s a little macabre.”
“Do you think so?” said Mosscap with surprise. “Hmm. I disagree.” It absently touched a soft fern growing nearby, petting the fronds like fur. “I think there’s something beautiful about being lucky enough to witness a thing on its way out.”

“It’s pretty here,” Dex said. “I wouldn’t have imagined I’d say that about a place like this, but—“
“Yes, it is,” Mosscap said, as if making a decision within itself. “It is. Dying things often are.”

“…It’s very odd, isn’t it? The thing every being fears most is the only thing that’s for certain? It seems almost cruel, to have that so…”
“Baked in?”
“Yes.”

About Death

Mosscap placed its free hand on Dex’s shoulder. “I appreciate the intent. I really do. But if you don’t want to infringe upon my agency, let me have my agency. I want to carry the tank.”

“I’d say you’re more than just an object,” Dex said.
The robot looked a touch offended. “I would never call you just an animal, Sibling Dex.” It turned its gaze to the road, head held high. “We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”

What are you doing? they thought. The hell are you doing?
I don’t know, they replied with a nervous grin. I have no idea.

“Despite these blessings, sometimes Dex could not sleep. In those hours, they frequently asked themself what it was they were doing. They never truly felt like they got a handle on that. They kept doing it all the same.”
