This is my friend TJ, wearing a costume she made for Halloween, 1977.  She was 16 at the time.

Now, keep in mind: there was no internet to search for images.  She could not have rented and paused the movie, because it wasn’t released on video until 1982.  No, TJ just went to the movie a bunch of times, took notes with a flashlight, drew a bunch of sketches, and put this together.

In 19-fucking-77.  So let’s bury this bullshit about how women didn’t grow up on Star Wars.

Hell yeah TJ

I had a queen amidala bike from the phantom menace growing up. All my younger siblings learned how to ride without training wheels on that sucker. The original battle frount games where my bag. I was queen amidala for Halloween twice. even my first mary sue oc was a star wars oc. I know the prequels aren’t good, but those where my star wars movies.

crazy how so many movies and books and stuff have evil corporate villains but criticisms of capitalism are rarely talked about directly. it’s almost like most people have vague anti-capitalist inclinations but don’t want to acknowledge them. 

media like that serves a role in performing our anti-capitalism for us. capitalism cant really actively promote itself as a good system to most people bc most people do hold some degree of unacknowleged anti-capitalist sentiment, so instead it relies on obfuscating itself and directing criticism of it onto individual entities, in this case fictional “evil corporations”. by levying anti-capitalist sentiment onto a fictional body and weaving a narrative that turns anti-capitalist struggle into the feat of an individual, we are assured that the evils of capitalism are the fault and responsibility of errant individuals; a framework that leaves little room for systematic criticism.
