i really, really want it to go over in star wars as well as it's going over in star trek, but to be completely, brutally honest, it won't. star wars and star trek and their fandoms have such different mindsets regarding their characters-- for chrissake, people threated to boycott TFA because finn was black, and they came out in 2015! i'm not saying star trek is perfect, but i do think their fan base is accepting this waaay better than star wars' would. maybe it's the contents, maybe it's the fans, but i seriously doubt that star wars is gonna get an openly gay character to begin with, and if they do, there'd be one hell of a backlash.
It'd be nice, but Star Wars is hardly progressive enough for it. The first Star Trek series had a black woman heavily implied to be in a relationship with a white man (a television first!), and featured her as an important central character, as well as gay side characters (a later series even had a trans character as a love interest!) - Star Wars had a racist Rastafarian caricature act as the "comedy relief" in the form of (the much hated) Jar Jar Binks.
So, even with J.J. at the helm, well... It really doesn't seem likely. Though stranger things have happened; Just look at the survival of Poe!

I will read any version of "they have daemons" for any fandom I read, and some that I normally don't, because I love the daemon concept. Ironically, I didn't care for the His Dark Marterials verse, but I will happily thieve from it, or cheer on others doing so. Also anything + dragons, either Pern-style, Temeraire-style, or something else that hatches from an egg and imprints. I am Homestuck trash so I definitely have some Homestuck x TFA in progress. I love the "spark" concept in Girl Genius and want to see other verse's takes on mad engineering geniuses. Anakin would have loved being a Heterodyne. I have some Bordertown thoughts in progress because pretty much anything can cross with Bordertown, which is a shared verse whose very premise is basically "this is where all the odd ones out end up" and also magic and science regularly have fisticuffs and costumed dance parties. I would love to see Mary Poppins in the HP world, that sounds rad and also full of humorously related bureaucracy. I love this set of questions and will probably keep thinking about it as this is definitely not the definitive list of things I would read/write/muse.

Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-09 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)I love how disappointed Brendol Hux seems to be towards his extra-marital offspring.
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-09 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)Exactly. It fits so well with a bastard Commandant Brendol Hux barely wants to acknowledge though. It's a military inspired nameas if Brendol Hux didn't even bother thinking of a name.

(Anonymous) 2016-07-09 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)Really?
...
No wonder he goes by Hux.
Here's hoping that he goes by Tag/Tage.
Or that it's completely false information.

Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 02:32 am (UTC)(link)Middle name "Shanks"
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 02:36 am (UTC)(link)No. JJ Abrams has said he saw the name Hux in a graveyard and wanted to use the name for a tragic character. I really pity how deluded Hux fans like you are, actually thinking it'd be false info, really? He's a fascist side character in the wrong side of a war. Get real.

(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 02:47 am (UTC)(link)LOL. Randomly, the surname Armitage is common in Yorkshire, basically a chav place full of the uneducated poor lower class.

Well not only did you misunderstand the joke, you're also a classist piece of fucking shit. Congratulations.

(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 04:39 am (UTC)(link)Now I'm picturing Hux giving out toothbrushes to everyone. "We cannot control the galaxy with plaque and haliotosis. Brush."
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 05:09 am (UTC)(link)I understood the joke perfectly and I'm surprised that you're defensive about a fictional Hitler basically. You have to be one of those so uncomfortable with what he does in canon that you erase everything he is and reblog pink haired fan art of him.

WTF? Jesus Christ, you're still not getting it. Hux is irrelevant. What disgusts me is the random inexplicable classist bullshit that you rammed into your comment, you utter dolt. Where did that even come from?
Maybe you aren't British and don't get the significance, but calling somewhere a "chav" (ugh) place and joking about uneducated lower classes is not OK. I'm not sure what the fuck you have against Yorkshire, either, tbh.

Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)You're absolutely right, Hux is irrelevant.
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 06:59 am (UTC)(link)As opposed to shining and not at all ignorant examples of humanity such as yourself?
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 07:02 am (UTC)(link)And the significance of "chav" might not translate, but you don't have to be British to get why joking about the poor uneducated lower classes is a bad idea. You just need to make sure your head is located somewhere other than your ass.
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 07:34 am (UTC)(link)The same poor educated lower class (Outer Rim) Hux is preying on for his Stormtrooper program? To do as he bids, to die for his purpose?
And let's not forget that for months Hux fans have written about how privileged Hux has to be, to have elite or pure bloodline or whatever nonsense. Hux isn't noble in any way or aristocratic in any sense, which must anger types like you, jumping in on a thread like this. You're classist yourself since you're salty about my comment.

Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
(Anonymous) 2016-07-10 08:11 am (UTC)(link)That's not a bad nickname.
Re: Breaking News: Hot New Information Leaked, Spoilers Abound
