Chewbacca has been around since Anakin turned to the Dark Side. Chewbacca has literally witnessed the whole Skywalker family fucking up the galaxy. When Ben was born, Chewbacca was probably just like :-)) can’t wait to see how this one fucks up
what if he can speak fluent English but has chosen to communicate through exasperated wails for the last sixty years bc he’s so done with the skywalkers’ shit
Luke:
How did my father die?
Obi-Wan:
Darth Vader betrayed and murdered your father.
Anakin [from the Death Star]:
STOP TELLING MY CHILDREN I'M DEAD!
Obi-Wan:
Sometimes I can still hear his bitching...
If any of you try to start shit about younger fans getting into Star Wars for the first time because of Ep7 because they’re lesser somehow for not being a lifelong expert on something from before they were fucking born
I am going to Imperial March my way over there and beat you up.
Just so we’re all clear on that. They’re kids. Most of them were born well after even Ep3. You should be glad that they’re learning about a classic for the first time, not threatened.
Protect young SW fans 2k15. Or I’ll fucking fight you irl.
My protection extends to all people who aren’t called “real” fans because they don’t fit x criteria. You liked a single episode of Clone Wars and want to call yourself a fan? Welcome. The Phantom Menace was your favorite film? Welcome. You love cute droids? Welcome.
You don’t need anyone’s approval to be in the Star Wars fandom. Anyone who says otherwise, let me at ‘em.
No gatekeeping Star Wars.
No gatekeeping Star Wars.
No gatekeeping Star Wars.

No gatekeeping Star Wars.

I will fucking fight you with knives.
As someone who has dealt with gatekeepers since they were a kid (yay being a girl) I totally have your back if you’re new to the fandom, or a casual fan.
I will beat a motherfucker down with a toy lightsaber if y'all need me too.
If we’re forming an army to beat down gatekeeping assholes, count me in. I’m twenty kinds of done with that crap.
As someone who felt shamed for daring to enjoy the prequels more than the originals, I am absolutely on board for shutting down gatekeeping pricks.
Don’t fucking gatekeep the Star Wars movies. I will fight you
I see no reason why citizens of a galaxy far, far away who lived a long, long time ago wouldn’t have been exposed to modern Earth music.
If we want to get techinical, Anakin Skywalker was such an epic intergalactic screw-up that he’s now literally screwing up the galaxy from beyond the grave. We’re about to have 9 movies all based around one man screwing up.
So my Uncle’s childhood bedroom at my grandfather’s house has Star Wars wallpaper from 1978.
It is magnificent. This particular shot of the Millennium Falcon is perhaps my favourite.
Here we have “Budget Harrison Ford” or as I like to call him “Garrison Fjord.”
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker looking like an even more sulky teenager than usual.
And Alec Guinness looking like Old Ben “Did I leave the stove on?” Kenobi.
Lightsaber fight isn’t looking too bad, right? Plenty of action going on there, right? Let’s just, uh… Let’s just take a closer look at Grand Moff Tarkin on the right there.
“Can I get you guys anything? Some snacks? A condom?”
