Here is a piece of meta I wrote in 2016, following S2E18 of Star Wars Rebels.

Star Wars and Ma'at - A Rant from a Kemetic Perspective

Warning: possible spoilers for SW Rebels S2E18, and potentially for lots of other things Star Wars.
Also, lots of political ranting, Karl Marx quotes, Sandro Pertini quotes, and me getting angry at some christian thinkers and stoic philosophers. Contains some occasional swearwords

An introduction to Kemetic concepts is provided, but feel free to message me if something is not clear or you want further information.

I'm joining the party in sharing some of my thoughts on the Jedi Order and specifically its relationship to the Republic.

The TL;DR version is, "Everything that went wrong with the Jedi Order can IMO be encapsulated in Obi-wan's line at the end of ROTS: 'My allegiance is to the Republic---' as opposed to the Force."

Follow the fake cut!

"These are not the droids you're looking for." The line is iconic. The power behind it is pretty iconic too, but what is the Jedi mind trick? How does it work and why doesn't it always?

This is the meta you're looking for

On Force Dreams and Visions

Force visions and prophetic dreams to be part of the skillset of even untrained Force sensitives. In the prequels, Anakin dreams about becoming a Jedi (TPM), his mother's death (AotC), and Padme's death (RotS). In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke has a vision about his friends being in trouble. In The Clone Wars episode "Assassin," Ahsoka has a dream and series of visions about an attempt on Padme's life. In Star Wars: Rebels, Ezra has a vision of Gall Trayvis and later a dream about his parents. In The Force Awakens, we learn that Rey has been dreaming of Luke's island long before she ever set foot there. So here's my question: if Force visions and prophetic dreams are a known ability, why did Anakin receive such consistently bad advice on dealing with his?

Let's get our meta on

This community has been live for a few days now, but no one has posted. It's time to get this party started and what better way than with a meta about everyone's favorite Gungan.

Join me for a meta about why Jar Jar Binks is actually an untrained Force sensitive.
