all my stumbling phrases

This week has just been plain rough for me, starting with some bad real life stuff at the beginning and then just a long stretch of sad fiction: on Wednesday, I watched The Clone Wars episode "The Lawless" (huge spoilers, do not click if you haven't seen or don't already know); Thursday my husband put on The West Wing episode "Gaza" (so like, YEAH); last night I watched The Good Place "Pandemonium;" and because none of that was enough, apparently, I just watched "The Wrong Jedi."

So. I'd say my emotions have been in pandemonium all freaking week!

OKAY WELL I'M WIPED SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME SILLY FLUFF PLEASE AND THANK YOU

PS: I AM lucky in that my friend took me out to Cheesecake Factory & Build a Bear today as a late bday present, and I got myself a new stuffed animal! Rey Skyhopper was most appreciated during my watch of the TCW. :)

Today's the day! The sun is shining! The tank is clean! -- Wait, no, that's not right.

*ahem* I FINALLY WATCHED THE ONDERON ARC.

(And by the way on that note, I must mention the sun is very much not shining.)

Anyways.

Overall, this arc absolutely lived up to my anticipation for it. Ever since I started writing rebelcaptain fic and researching Saw, I’ve looked forward to seeing his younger self. Besides that, the story with the other characters is also incredibly compelling. And hey! Lux didn’t bother me half as much as he did in the past. I guess that’s growth.

I thought the art for this arc was amazing, specifically the scene when they first land on Onderon and you see the backdrop of the stars behind the jungle canopy. The character development and relationships were very much the kind of conflict and dynamics I'm interested in (I mean, I could do less with love triangles, but you know what? This one didn't really bother me that much.) And the themes were on point!
