The Problem with Canon
Added 2025-03-14 16:00:16 +0000 UTCThis is not a Star Wars video, I promise.
Note: I apologize for the wait on this video. I have been taking the time I'd planned to before my friend died to do a soft rest. <3 We are back in (mostly) full force.

2025-03-16 20:20:00 +0000 UTCI do not know why I am only just now putting together that Tenel Ka was probably a shameless rip-off of Mara Jade despite always being aware of Mara's existence by the time I was reading YJK. Oh well. Still love my one-armed princess.

2025-03-14 19:07:55 +0000 UTCjust watched this when it dropped on nebula last night. fantastic watch, especially for someone who's first novels were EU. rip Mara Jade, she was a badder bitch than Disney deserves anyway, but, much like live action remakes, Disney cannot take away her from our hearts!
