Hello all and greetings from Finland. So, this blog is about all the things I love, but mainly I reblog Star Wars, GoT/ASOIAF, Hannibal, Black Sails, Musical theatre, Period Drama and Marvel related stuff. Sometimes I post my fan edits and talk about my life. Feel free to send me a message if there's something you want to ask or talk about!
Kaz tossed the ledger back in the safe. “You’re not weak because you can’t read. You’re weak because you’re afraid of people seeing your weakness. You’re letting shame decide who you are… We can endure all kinds of pain. It’s shame that eats men whole.”
Oh, my best friend and I also talked about the unexpected glimpse of the Rancor keeper’s grief in ROTJ. I was like, “even a monster can be loved by someone” and we’re just … oh.
Deliberate or not, it’s very suitable for ROTJ!
Oh for sure, I saw ROTJ first when I was 9 and this was one of the key images that stuck with me. The pathos and genuine grief of the Rancor’s keeper. And I’m pretty sure it was intentional to give us a clear depth of the world, that Luke might be a kickass Jedi in the Chanel boots now but the movie doesn’t just have him run around killing things to be cool and heroic-looking because in this world, there’s a cost to all destruction, and it has to be carefully weighed.
Yes! Especially since Luke himself ends the film as the sole mourner of someone widely considered a monster.
