As I Never Viewed R2 As A Skywalker, I Consider Myself Feeling Completely Justified In Not Really Viewing

As I never viewed R2 as a Skywalker, I consider myself feeling completely justified in not really viewing Rey as one either.

(unless she's Jaina in the AU, lol)

((at this point, I think Jacen's lost his right to the name too; re: what happened to Mara))

(((the characters in-universe are much nicer than me, Tahiri's my favorite and I wouldn't have welcomed her back like HanLeia and the Order did)))

Might get cancelled for this one

Rey is a Skywalker. Star Wars is, at its core, about found family. Rey is part of the Skywalker found family, and if you ignore that, then technically speaking, you shouldn't view R2 as a Skywalker either

Okay, confession time: I absolutely fucking hate that BOTW!Link's hero outfit is blue.

Part of it is that the green getup is classic and pretty integral to the character's image, but the other part is the in-universe religion. Link's patron goddess is FARORE, so why are we putting him in Nayru's colors??? The golden goddesses are the most consistently present religion throughout the games!

(they're acknowledged in all of them except BOTW/TOTK, which appears to have gone through a revival of worship for Hylia, and the downfall timeline (OG games), where the characters are Catholic [yes, angsty tumblr user, you read that correctly, please don't come at me, I believe in freedom of religion, and if fictional characters want to believe in God, let them]).

Ok, but like... making a new Narnia movie?

Yes, but don't reboot the series. The OG actors are the right age to pop up in "The Horse and His Boy" (I think they show up like.... 10 times total, but it would be an awesome cameo, and I desperately want a film adaptation of that book specifically--it's my favorite Narnia book)

My mom and I just started watching Castle, because my family's partially through Firefly and we can't watch more without dad & sibs. It was shockingly easy to pitch for her--all I had to say was "it's basically Murder She Wrote except with Mal instead of Angela Lansbury" and she jumped in.

What she doesn't know is that I know that there are a bunch of other Firefly actors that will cameo sometime in the show.

I watched a compilation. Can't wait for her to find out that Kaylee plays a murderer in this. hahahahahaha

and they all have character development!!!

One reason not to ignore the Star Wars EU novels is all of the badass female characters whose stories you would otherwise miss out on!!! 

Tenel Ka Djo - Overcomes the loss of her arm in an accident and becomes an amazing Jedi Knight.Also she comes from a matriarchal society with Game of Thrones level political intrigue. 

Mara Jade Skywalker- The black widow of the star wars universe, she is an extremely skilled former assassin  for the Empire who becomes a Jedi Knight. 

Jaina Solo- Amazing pilot, mechanic and Jedi Knight who is tempted by, but eventually resists the dark side of the force. 

Princess Leia as a BOTH a lightsaber wielding Jedi Knight and a skilled politician ! 

There are many many more but these are my favs 

Where are they living, because no matter how amazing Link may be, if he's on a different continent, he can't drive to FREAKING Iceland!?!?!

(unless this is a Sci-Fi modern AU and there are flying cars)

in a modern AU Link would be Zelda's only friend with a driver's license and their chat history would look like this
