The Author-Who-Lived: J.K. Rowling’s Refusal to Accept the Death of the Author in the Internet Age
Man I fucking hate this attitude. I especially hate that Rowling gets this shit thrown at her. God FORBID she continue to engage with her own fucking work.
I don’t get why this is even a thing? I mean, why WOULDN’T one be interested in the author’s intentions and the ideas they had that didn’t make it into the finished work and so forth, regardless of whether one actually thinks they managed to express them well?
People seem to think they’re entitled to take over someone else’s work. News flash: JK Rowling created the Harry Potter series, not you. If you don’t want to hear what she has to say about it, stop looking at her twitter account then.
This just in: J.K. Rowling has as much right to comment on her own work as everyone else on the internet does.
all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber
I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows
leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.
The hell do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”
Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”
Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.
“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT
Because girl.
“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]
fucking fake geek boys
Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”
“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”
