Star Wars Rebels

“I won’t leave you…not this time.”

Just watching my idol kicking ass, as usual. Don’t mind me crying over here just because the season finale of the second season of Rebels has done all sorts of tangling with my emotions. Have I really become this sappy that I cry when I see Ahsoka cry, like in the episode Shroud of Darkness?! While in the Jedi Temple, realizing that her beloved master Anakin Skywalker had indeed become Darth Vader, I can’t help but cry with her:

Or see her say “Anakin” with such bewilderment and heartbreak, and when I see her walking into the temple after Vader limps away?!

Alas, it’s simply been an emotional Star Wars week for me:

I was watching The Force Awakens with my aunt and, it still hits me every time: when Rey cries, I cry! I can’t find any images from it, but it’s the scene after she touches the Skywalker lightsaber and Maz is all like “whoever you’re waiting for on Jakku…you know they’re never coming back…but there’s still someone who can” and tears stream instantly down Rey’s face, and then she says “Luke”. Oh, my heart!

Another night I was reading Claudia Gray’s Bloodline, and at the very end of a bombshell chapter, “Leia put her head down on her desk and allowed herself to weep”. I just felt so bad and it was so stressful! I’m not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it yet, though.

Basically, when Ahsoka cries, I cry! When Rey cries, I cry! When Leia cries, I cry! Normal? I mean, probably not. Alas, I can’t help it!

On a happier note in my Star Wars love, I forgot to share my latest purchases showcasing the wonderful artwork of Lorna-ka! Here is a tank of all of the Ahsoka stages we have seen:

Here is the art alone:

And here is my epic Ahsoka trooper tee:

I got this beautiful, super cool, super comfy shirt at RedBubble.

I still need more. This artist is incredible and I have plans to buy more apparel with her artwork on it!!

This classic Beatles lyric just makes me imagine a scene with Jaylah from Star Trek Beyond being her usual awesome self:

Star Trek Beyond:

Oh, speaking of Jaylah, my little Jaylah finally has a buddy:

I got a little Funko Pop! bobblehead of Spider-Gwen! I finished one of my Spider-Gwen graphic novels that one of my best friends gave me and I loved it! How can I not love a spunky superhero who is a drummer in all-ladies rock and roll band when she’s not webbing around?!

My list of badass ladies to admire just keeps growing..but let’s go back to my number one: my Ahsoka Tano!! Season 2 of Star Wars Rebels came out on DVD and Blu-Ray last week so, that’s basically what I’ve been doing…sorry, productivity! I’m not done yet, because I’m savoring every episode and Rebels Recon, and perhaps watching some scenes over and over again, like Ahsoka’s battle scene with the Seventh Sister (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar aka BUFFY aka Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Wife!) in the “Future of the Force” episode. Ahsoka is just phenomenal, so elegant and fierce in her combat. Also, I tweeted about my wonderful purchase and I how spent the rest of that day and Freddie Prinze Jr. AND Ashley Eckstein herself liked my tweet!! It’s the little things that make my day.

Speaking of my idol Ahsoka, look what I have on my car now that I bought from AStickyObsession:

my-ahsoka-decal

Is it weird I feel like she’s my little Jedi guardian? But really, this decal is amazing and I’ve never seen anything like it until I found this Etsy shop. There’s also a grown-up, Rebels version of Ahsoka that is amazing, but I chose this one because I’m more attached to her Clone Wars look. Speaking of Rebels, there’s an amazing one of Hera as well, but I don’t consider myself enough of a Hera fan to get it, but it’s pretty cool. There’s also a little BB-8 one I have my eye on to order possibly sometime in the nearish future.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I lack both the inspiration and the time lately. Alas, I’ll be back shortly, possibly returning with some book reviews! I recently purchased a Black Widow novel called Forever Red, and the cashier at the book store was curious how it would compare to the comics. I only just got into Spider-Gwen but now I need some Black Widow comics as well to compare to this novel I’m excited to read!!

I’ve written about this artist before, but I have to yet again because I’m so happy with my latest purchases featuring artwork by Lorna-ka.

First up is my beautiful Clone Wars era Ahsoka clock:

FullSizeRender (20)

I knew this piece would make the perfect clock. First of all, that’s my favorite Ahsoka outfit. Secondly, Lorna-ka has done her so exquisitely, while capturing her sass, confidence, and charm. It’s definitely the coolest clock I’ve ever had, and I just got rid of a much bigger, guitar-shaped, neon-lit clock that broke years ago. It was about time and I deserved this beautiful clock, damnit! It was my birthday present to myself 😉

Recently, I got a new phone. Nothing major, just upgraded from my iPhone 5S to a 6S because I didn’t feel like dealing with any serious changes. However, I decided I wanted a more unique case than I’ve ever had before. I got the idea to buy a sticker and put it underneath a clear case from one of my favorite artists I follow on Instagram, though I didn’t end up using one of her stickers. Instead, I turned yet again to Lorna-ka. I ordered this beautiful Ahsoka profile sticker from Redbubble, another site that sells everything from standard prints to apparel of artists’ work. I decided to put it on an Otterbox insert made to fit inside my Otterbox Symmetry Series clear-back case. I’m not completely in love with the insert but I trusted that more than making my own to put it in there…but perhaps in the future I’ll use that to trace my own out of funky craft paper from Michael’s or something. It didn’t even fully fill in but you can’t really tell unless you’re just starting at my phone case intensely. The results:

I don’t even care if it looks like I just put a sticker on a case (which is simplifying my efforts greatly), I’m just happy to represent my favorite cartoon idol done by one of my favorite artists and the sticker won’t just wear out because on the inside of my case!

P.S. Yes, that’s another BeepBoopBeepClothing tank I’m sporting in that picture above! My tanks by them have been one of my favorite summer go-to’s. And Rey is another one of my idols!!

I’ve been admiring the work of Lorna-ka for months, talking about all of her Star Wars-inspired work I want to buy, and I finally did it! Soon I’ll be going to Disney World with my best friends and I wanted to have a smaller purse and wallet to walk around the parks with, so I ordered this adorable purse from Hot Topic along with a tiny zip purse from Lorna-ka’s shop on Society6 of one of my favorite pieces of hers:

My picture doesn’t do her portrait justice, so look at the print version on Society6’s website:

SWR Fulcrum Art Print

Isn’t my hero just exquisite?! I’m so happy I get to walk around with my Ahsoka every day! I have plans for purchases, but I’m waiting on more sales…there’s this other one of Ahsoka from her Clone Wars days that I decided I need as a clock:

TCW - Snips Art Print

This is a nod to her competitiveness with her master, Anakin. Also, I absolutely love her smug face and the way Lorna-ka drew Ahsoka’s body. It’s just perfect, and as you may have read before, this my favorite outfit of hers and Lorna-ka just nails it.

There’s also another piece she did just recently of Ahsoka as a mermaid, which puts two of my favorite obsessions together in such a beautiful way. I’m pretty sure she did it for #Mermay; I’ve noticed a lot of my favorite artists have been putting up new mermaid artwork lately, which is awesome. This one I want as a print…I’m debating on the size but I’m thinking of buying it tonight because 15% off and free shipping on various items is going on until midnight on Society6. LOOK AT IT:

Mersoka Art Print

She just looks so damn elegant and sage. I need it in my life. I just don’t know if I want it as part of the rest of my art collection, which will simply be prints of various sizes (but all relatively small) all in varying frames together on my wall, or on another wall, extremely large and all by itself. I would just have to take other things down to fit a nearly poster-sized version, though…I have a large Breakfast Club poster that I’ve had in room since I was like 12….I suppose it could be time to take it down, it’s had quite a run on my wall, but I would just feel bad. Yes, I know the poster doesn’t have feelings…OR DOES IT?! This also, unfortunately, brings up the question of what I’m doing with my life. Will I even have the bachelorette pad I’ve always dreamed of, with nerd art and furniture and rock and roll memorabilia all around?! Well yes, of course I will. BUT WHEN?!

Okay…excuse my existential crisis.

Help me…what size should I get?!
