Sw Fandom Critical - Tumblr Posts
why does Star Wars fandom, specifically pro and anti Jedi fans, always cheapen the most poignant moments of Star Wars?
with the pro Jedi people, why do y’all always make it seem like Luke was this naive idiot who blindly believed that his dad had good in him, as if he hasn’t been personally been tormented to the point of mutilation?
with anti-jedi people, why do y’all just try to pin all the blame for Anakin on literally anyone else; yeah he had help getting to the point where he did, but in the end, he jumped off.
stop trying to strip all the fun things about Star Wars from Star Wars.
okay not-Dharmic religious jedi crits, you guys have got to understand the difference between what is george lucas' 'straight white man' nonsense, and shit that is, actual Buddhist and Hindu philosophy.
striving for for letting go of attachments isn't Lucas nonsense, it’s actual south Asian philosophy. controlling your emotional responses is not unnatural and weird, that is just dharmic goals. these things are not inherently bad of themselves, until you define ‘over emotional’ as having natural responses of emotion and ‘attachment’ as a child worrying for his enslaved mother, then it is george lucas' straight white man nonsense.
begging you all as a hindu jedi neutral.
