Big bada boom is so 1997.
Badda jagga bonk is much trendier, although the point is pretty much the same.

This amazing Millenium Falcon comes courtesy of Flight Lieutenant @AurelliaStrass and #NAFOJediforces. Unlike the original, the only things this ship smuggles are explosives for russian invaders. Much like the original one, however, it will serve the light side.

🧵Diving into the unique styles of 10 iconic AMERICAN COMIC ARTISTS.

Each one has a distinctive approach that sets them apart in the world of comics. Let's explore what makes each of them unique, using #STARWARS as a common reference point for comparison.🎨🚀

Prompts in ALTs.

1. #JackKirby (1940s-1990s)

Known for his dynamic, kinetic, explosive, and trailblazing style, Kirby's work is bold, innovative, full of raw energy, and unmistakably grandiose.

2. #BillWatterson (1985-1995)

Watterson's style is expressive, whimsical, imaginative, and deeply heartfelt, perfectly capturing the boundless energy, wide-eyed wonder, and poignant innocence of childhood in "Calvin and Hobbes".

Durante las #EleccionesEdoMex 🗳, @AlejandraDMV y @delfinagomeza han motivado la formación e interacción de comunidades en @facebook 🖥️ con seguidores 👍🤩 y opositores 😡 ¿Qué estrategias se han usado para respaldar o atacar a cada aspirante?
En #TlatelolcoLab te lo contamos🧵:

@facebook

Con los Grupos de @facebook o #FBGroups, @Meta motiva que usuarixs con intereses en común intercambien contenido en foros abiertos o privados. Así, propicia la reunión de comunidades de aficionadxs a 'hobbies' y consumos, pero también la simpatía por figuras, eventos o causas.

En entornos como #FB, la interactividad hace a las comunidades más dinámicas, participativas y diversas, aunque puede provocar afectos intensos, hostigamiento y conflicto. Se fomenta la libre expresión y organización, pero, en ocasiones, hay guerra sucia, rumores o amarillismo.

Estás emocionado por el estreno de #Ahsoka... ¿verdad?

Pero probablemente no has visto #Rebels... ¿no?

🚨 ¡No entres en pánico! 🚨

Te traigo un hilo con la trama de TODA la serie para que entiendas estar al día con #StarWars 👇

⚠️ Se irá actualizando día a día ⚠️

¡RT! 😉

🚨 BREVE ACLARACIÓN 🚨

Este hilo, obviamente, estará lleno de SPOILERS de la serie.

Si planeas verla o no quieres saber nada, este es el momento para retirarte...

O puedes leer un poquito para ver si te atrapa 👀

¡Recomiendo absolutamente!

¡Comencemos!

Primero debemos saber que la serie se sitúa durante el tramo final del Imperio Galáctico de Palpatine.

La mayoria de los Jedi fueron asesinados (o cazados)

La opresión de dicho Imperio ha llegado a niveles extremos y cada vez son más los que se rebelan contra el régimen.

¿Sabías que hay especies nombradas en honor a tus personajes favoritos? 🐜🕷️

Esta especie de gusano acuático fue nombrada en honor al sabio Yoda debido a su peculiar apariencia.

Fue la primera especie del género Yoda encontrada, la otra es Yoda demiankoopi.

Estas especies son hermafroditas secuenciales, lo que quiere decir que alternan su sexo.

Hoolock tianxing, el "gibón Skywalker"

Esta especie de primate, descubierta en China, fue nombrada en honor a Luke Skywalker.

Esta especie se encuentra en Peligro Crítico de Extinción al quedar tan solo 150 individuos en la naturaleza.

So #StarWars Galaxy’s Edge has been open for nearly four years, yet I did encounter a TSA quirk when traveling with my lightsabers from NYC to Orlando this morning for Galactic Starcruiser & #MayThe4th. First, let me say the agents were entirely professional and nice. Still…

I put the hilts in carry on instead of checking and they, along with assorted #StarWars greeblies & such, triggered scanners. Expectedly. But I didn’t expect them to be viewed as alien, ironically.
TSA Guy 1: What are these? Are these car parts?
Me: Lightsabers.
TSA Guy 1:…?

Me: Don’t worry, they aren’t activated.

TSA Guy 2: They’re really heavy. These aren’t light like the ones I’ve seen.

Me: Um, it’s an elegant collectible for a more civilized age?

TSA Guy 2: You need TWO of these?

Me: Well [shrugging] I don’t know. I have Jedi stuff to do…

let's talk about a *commercial* phenomenon, a remarkable one. Twitter is merely the highest-profile example.

which is: numerous corporate brands and franchises have learned how to monetize *extremist fandom*, and they've leaned into it. #StarWars gives a good example.

https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1640783422435065857

@starwars

"Star Wars" fandom is ruled by a small but *high-spending* minority of hardcore nerds.

these extremist #StarWars nerds are loud (and bigoted) in their demands for the franchise—and the mere fact that @starwars *listens* shows that the hardcore fans have power of purse.

(cont'd)

@starwars

@starwars and @Disney wouldn't prioritize the extreme demands of the hardcore (bigoted) #StarWars geeks, if these geeks weren't seen as central to the monetary success of the franchise. what's true of Star Wars is also true of comics, video games, $TSLA, @Twitter...

I know some people rag on the @FDRLST for their politically charged hot takes on entertainment,

But I've always stated I respect the Federalist
cuz they often alone of all conservative media willing to cover stories about entertainment & culture

thefederalist.com/2023/02/25/hol…

Culture by far most important part most people when relating to national news stories;

Movies, TV, Games, Music, Anime, etc
these are the thing that animate human lives & help us get through our day to day

Yet few in conservative media bother to write or talk about it

Los mandalorianos son una cultura que ha gestado a los guerreros más temidos de la galaxia, capaces incluso de poner contra las cuerdas a los Jedi en innumerables conflictos. Hoy hablaremos de uno de estos eventos: las Guerras Mandalorianas (LEGENDS).

¡HILO!

Los años previos a este conflicto estuvieron marcados por un período conocido como La Restauración, en el cual la República trató de reconstruirse de la reciente Gran Guerra Sith, acontecida alrededor del 4000 ABY.

La guerra afectó a más de una cuarta parte de los mundos de la República, incluyendo a Coruscant. Su ejército se había visto claramente reducido y a esto hay que sumarle la gran depresión económica de la posguerra. Por suerte, las cosas empezaban a mejorar.

Finally got around to finishing Andor! Very well done! A powerhouse of a series with sharp writing, beautiful sets/photography, compelling characters, and inspiring stories! I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to.

But I’ve two trains of thought: 🪡 #Andor

One: The Obstruction of Myth aka How I long for the simple beauty of a Luke Skywalker.

Due to a variety of factors, I believe the purpose of myth in our stories has been forgotten. Perhaps it is due to cliches, poor writing, the exploitation of utilitarianism - #art #Andor 1/6

- but probably mostly due to disillusionment & cynicism infiltrating our culture, but whatever the cause - we started to believe that Myth was outdated because it did not reflect back to us the reality of our experience. #Andor #StarWars #art 2/6

The Publisher perspective on #MetadataImpact - @mragucci - #Metadata is like #TheForce in #StarWars - it is often invisible but powers so much in research and information exchange #NISOPlus2023

@mragucci

@mragucci Robust standardised #metadata is powerful for all stakeholders in information & knowledge exchange - but practices & standards vary greatly across content types. Ultimately, publishers & content providers have a responsibility to think downstream about the end user #NISOPlus2023

the first is the one that makes actual sense: I mean...

...Britain desperately *needs saving*, really and truly, and the legend is that Arthur will return for that.

*modern* Britain is not Arthur's Britain—even though modern Britain has tried to *appropriate* Arthur.

~Chara

https://twitter.com/kizu_skip/status/1617633288373559298

that's what modern Britain is: a mere thief, a jackdaw that collects other people's heroes and symbols and pretends to own them. Romano-Celtic Britain succumbed the very Germanic barbarians whom Arthur tried to drive back, and now...they wear Arthur like a costume.

~Chara

#FateZero's got its problems but it got straight to the heart of why Arthur's still important *at all*.

I find myself thinking about how there's a lot of very silly and superficial people who no doubt think that "Shakespearean England" was a pinnacle of civilization.

Pues vamos con el final de la trilogía de precuelas. La que más me gusta de las tres por lo que implica de cara a la trilogía original y porque cierra de manera bastante contundente este primer arco de Anakin #StarWars

Tiene un inicio brutal, con Obi-Wan y Anakin en plena batalla espacial para salvar a Palpatine. Uno de los inicios más espectaculares, para mi, de toda la saga y que es una declaración de intenciones de lo que vamos durante las siguientes dos horas.

@DisneyPlusES

Empieza con las guerras clon a punto de terminar. A mi este período me parece fascinante y podéis profundizar en el tanto en cómics como en la serie "Clone Wars" de Tartakovsky (2003-2005), como en la de animación 3D "The Clone Wars" (2008-2020), ambas en @DisneyPlusES

Empezamos con "La amenaza fantasma". Aunque no suele gustar (al menos a la gente de mi alrededor), es uno de los episodios que creo que más ganan con los visionados. Me gusta mucho, sobretodo, la trama política que plantea. #StarWars

Qui-Gon le enseña a Obi-Wan a mantenerse en el presente, sin divagar en exceso sobre el futuro. Eso sí, sin conectarse con sus emociones ya que eso, como luego le dirían a Anakin, podía llevarles al lado oscuro.

Siempre me resultó curioso que, poniendo toda su atención en el presente, Darth Sidious se infiltrara en la República e hiciera caer la Orden. Se les coló frente a sus ojos, probablemente, porque no siguieron su intuición.

"always two there are. a master and an apprentice."

that sounds like a goofy line from a #StarWars movie. and it is! it's from "The Phantom Menace", which is probably the most entertaining of the Star Wars prequel films, and it refers to Darth Maul, the fallen Sith Lord.

(1/x)

there's one Sith Lord dead, which means he must have a companion—but was Maul the superior member of the team, or was he the sidekick?

this simple form of organization—a pair of persons, one subordinate to the other—is characteristic of relationships devoid of *trust*.

(2/x)

I understand that relationships cemented by mutual *hatreds* are a feature of "Homestuck", whose author correctly intuited that such relations were a sort of logical dual to relationships based upon mutual love and support.

the world is *full* of "toxic relationships".

LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS tiene ya 45 años. La saga más iconográfica. Toca ya el último Hilo sobre la primera película. Una Nueva Esperanza (1977). Hilo de CURIOSIDADES. #StarWars #Cinemelodic

Fue la primera película que superó los 300 millones de dólares en la taquilla nacional. Y la primera en superar los 500 millones de dólares en todo el mundo en su estreno.#StarWars #Cinemelodic

El estreno de la película se tuvo que retrasar 5 meses para la postproducción desde las Navidades de 1976 en las que estaba previsto. Terminar los efectos especiales costó bastante… #StarWars #Cinemelodic

Eagle-eyed #Andor fan @fidmart85 spotted what appeared to be an Aztec sun stone in Luthen’s gallery. @davidviramontes asked showrunner Tony Gilroy if this means that someone in the #StarWars galaxy had visited the Milky Way galaxy. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Gilroy: “I have heard more conversations come out of the parsing and frame-grabbing of stuff that’s in that shop. All of it [is] unknown to me. It’s the art department.”
latimes.com/entertainment-…

“We have a very healthy mix of non-“Star Wars” people, and we have a deep bench of super geeks,” says Gilroy. “I keep hearing about new stuff. What you just told me is the first time I’ve heard that.”
