Hello,

this is the weekly chat corner. Come tell us your Star Wars thoughts, we like to read Star Wars thoughts.

~ ~ ~

SW thought: when I first saw tookas in The Clone Wars, instead of seeing them as having fur, I thought they're smooth, like leopard geckos. I still like that version better.

Hello,

I'm here with another weekly chat post, in case you're in the mood for Star Wars. Are you in a mood for Star Wars?

~ ~ ~

I have seen two Star Wars video essays by EckhartsLadder (We're still suffering from the Sequel's "World Building" and Why this battle was so damn weird) - not my favorites, but entertaining. If you don't know them yet, EckhartsLadder does interesting analysis of SW, especially when it comes to worldbuilding and military, if you're into that. (Spacedock is another I enjoy.)

Do you also watch SW related videos on YouTube? What kind? Reviews, analyses, fanvids,...?

Hi,

this is the weekly chat corner. Come talk Star Wars, if you're in the mood!

~ ~ ~

I like to make playlists for stories I write to figure out the mood I'm going for; I listened to a few of them today, all for Star Wars fics, and now I'm in the mood to pick up two of those stories again. I like when that happens!

Do any of you also use music as a part of your writing process?

Hi,

the weekly chat corner is here, in case you want to tell us something Star Wars related. How have you all been?

~ ~ ~

I'm wondering what my next Star Wars canon/Legends media will be. Aside from the random fanfiction binge, mostly from my collection, I haven't read/watched anything for a long while. I'm aaaaalmost feeling like picking something up, though. Maybe something from the book or comic TBRs... but shhh, lets not frighten my motivation, or it'll disappear to parts unknown again XD

What about you? Do you know what your next SW thing is gonna be?

Hello,

it's the weekly chat corner. (On a very numerically pleasing date.) Do you have something Star Wars related to chat about?

~ ~ ~

The Taggle anon period has just ended! I am going to brag about my fics later in the week, but here is a link to all the "Star Wars - All Media Types" fics in the collection for you to enjoy.

Hi,

weekly chat corner, this is. Talk about Star Wars, here, you should.

(I can't believe it took me literal years to write Yoda Speak in one of these posts! 😆)

~ ~ ~

Somewhat random: do you remember ever seeing a protagonist play a musical instrument in a Star Wars story? I don't. Maybe in some of the many many EU media I haven't read... Rogue Squadron would be a series where I'd expect it, actually - some scene showing the pilots' free time activities, perhaps.

It's interesting, what makes it into big canons like SW, and what doesn't.

Hi there,

this is the weekly chat corner. If you have something Star Wars-y to say, this is the best* place to do it.

~ ~ ~

In only few minutes, the AO3 collection of taggle will go live, and I know for sure there are some Star Wars works in it. By the time you're reading this, you may be able to check them out! 👀

No thoughts, Crow's brain is toast. I hope you're all having a nice summer (or winter, if you're on the other side of the planet).

Hello,

this is your regular chat corner, to talk about whatever Star Wars things you're in the mood for. Anything you'd like to share?

~ ~ ~

We're at the peak of a heatwave, so the only Star Wars association I have at the moment is Tatooine. 🥵 Would you want to visit Tatooine, if you could? How long would be your ideal trip, and where would you go?

Hi!

Welcome to the weekly chat corner, to talk about all things Star Wars.

...do you have something Star Wars you'd like to talk about?

~ ~ ~

I'm currently playing taggle, a Battleship-like multifandom exchange/game, and I've already written one Star Wars fic I feel pretty good about 👀

Also! The prompt collection is open to non-participants too, so if you have some ships or "what if"s you'd like to see written or illustrated, this is a very good opportunity! They might not get picked up of course, but the players need to create a lot of works, often for weird combos of tags. The odds are not going to get much higher!

Hi,

this is the weekly chat corner, to discuss all things Star Wars.

It's officially summer: last night I went to sleep hours after my usual bedtime because I was canning cherries. "fruit and Star Wars" makes me think of The Pear Scene, obviously, which I would rather not.

"summer and Star Wars"... honestly? Kit Fisto, for some reason. Is it the water? Probably the water. OH, and the TCW version of Quinlan Vos, who really, really reminds me of a surfer dude. Hmm, Beach AU...

Chat corner, with roses

Hello,

welcome to the weekly chat corner (the fact that it falls on the 1st pleases me greatly). Have anything SW related to talk about?

~ ~ ~

We need to talk about Aunt Beru's roses.

As the SW lore developed, Tatooine has turned into a near-caricature Death World, and it's not like it isn't there in the first movie either. (They farm water!) And yet: because, I assume, nobody was going to tell the owners of the house in Tétouan that they chop down their plants, the farmstead on a planet so horribly hot that it sometimes sounds ridiculous is... pleasantly green, actually.

Gosh, I love it when Star Wars is being silly.

this is your regularly scheduled Star Wars chat post. Come and talk!

Hi,

this is your weekly chat post. Come and share your SW thoughts!

If you missed it, goodbyebird posted a link to a Star Wars icon collection - maybe you'll find something to expand your collection...

~ ~ ~

Inspired by nothing in particular: one of the UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) in my craft stash is these Rebel Alliance Wrist Warmers. I'm maybe a third through the first one and it already looks lovely, but since it's my first ever colorwork it's taking forever. I do most of my knitting as a fidget, either during work meetings or when visiting family, so projects where I have to focus a lot aren't a great fit. Still, I like them. Maybe I'll get them done by winter.

Have you ever tried any Star Wars related crafts?

Hello,

happy Star Wars Day! This is your weekly chat post. Come and talk!

The cat spilled tea on me, I had to change, and so I'm actually wearing Star Wars themed pants today :D

The May the 4th Be With You Fanworks Exchange archive is live! I already have at least one new favorite, but I'm pretty sure I'll find more.

(I haven't bought and games - yet. Still a few days to go...)

Hello,

this is the weekly chat post. May the 4th is closing in, are you planning anything?

I... will probably end up picking something up in Steam's May 4th sale, oops. (Collecting video games is like books right? Separate hobby from actually playing them...)

Hi,

here's the weekly chat post. All Star Wars related talk is welcome, come and share!

~ ~ ~

I've spent the last 2 hours cleaning and I'm so done. Do you think people in GFFA have to do their own vacuuming? You'd think they'd have droids for that... then again. I don't know which droid, from the movies at least, I'd trust with dusting my bookshelves. And at least I don't live on Tatooine - getting rid of all that dust must be hell.

Hey, lets play a game:

Pick a SW character.
Do you think they ever vacuum/sweep/dust?

Hi,

this is the weekly chat post. Come and talk Star Wars, if you wanna!

~ ~ ~

I'm (very gently) getting back into writing by starting a daily writing habit, and today I worked on the last ficlet in a ficlet series I started in 2021, Sister, daughter. 2021!Me thought that if it's a series, it isn't really a WIP and I won't feel bad if I take a long time finishing it, or abandon it altogether. 2021!Me was very naïve. What about you, do you have a (SW-related) skeleton in the closet? Or, are you forever waiting on a dead WIP?

Hello,

the weekly chat post has come again. Do you have something to talk about?

~ ~ ~

In my corner of the world, we're traditionally celebrating that a religion's main dude died but came back (sorta). Nothing to do with Star Wars, but it led to a family visit and a SW-related discussion.

We were talking about LEGO, and my (very opinionated) dad said, roughly: "but they just keep making those Harry Potter and Star Wars sets, it's stupid, it's the same thing over and over".

And... hm. Firstly, I was of course pretty unhappy to hear SW compared to the TERF Financial Support IP. Then... does SW really look derivative from the outside? Hm. I could see it, maybe. Sure, there are new stories, but if you look at general merch it's Vader, Vader, Vader and some Stormtroopers, maybe baby Yoda? Oh, and then Kylo Ren-branded school gear, always installed in a stand right beside the same things with Elsa from Frozen. (What gender is your kid, magical ice princess or genocidal emo?)

Hm.

Chat corner, accidentally themed

Hi,

welcome to the weekly Star Wars chat post. Standard rules: anything SW goes, self-recs are welcome, and any other recs as well of course.

~ ~ ~

You know, I only just realized that the no-topic SW chat posts have actually slowly mutated into "random thought topic" through these post-scripts. Oops? Is that bad? I remember someone saying (way, way back) that they don't feel comfortable talking about their own stuff if there's a topic. But I just always feel like a single-sentence post, "here ya go, do your thing, I'm off" must be so boring? I feel better when I'm adding something at least vaguely readable.

So, you know what, just treat the second half of these posts as if it was one of the comments. No-topic chat, with a bonus random Crow ramble.

Hi,

your weekly Star Wars chat post is here. Anyone has anything to share?

~ ~ ~

My Monday is being very Monday. So... I'm thinking about weird Star Wars week days. You know, "Centaxday", those ones? On one day, it makes more sense for GFFA not to have Norse-god-based weekdays, on the other... oof, we're really calling rabbit a smeerp here.

What's your opinion on that? Or the other SW-specific calendars floating around. IDK if any of them are still canon... yes? No? Don't care? Burn it with fire?

Hi,

this is your weekly Star Wars chat post. Do you have news? Or... olds? *sad trumpet*

~ ~ ~

Bad jokes aside, what's your relationship to SW-related news? As in, how do you find out that Disney is Doing Something Star Wars - a new book is coming out, a new movie/show is announced...? Do you actively follow some sources? Do you learn about it on social media, or from a more well-informed friend? Or maybe you don't hear about it at all?

Hi,

here's your weekly chat post. Do you want to talk about Star Wars?

~ ~ ~

I was thinking about getting back to writing, and that led me to musing about headcanons. The original meaning, a piece of world- or character-building that isn't canon, but you feel it fits so well that your brain just treats it as if it were. Do you have any SW headcanons? It's a bit more tricky for SW I think, with the Legends vs Disney canon... maybe a SW fandom-specific type of headcanon is a person's choice of which Legends events they still consider "real"?
