While Star Wars Rebels showed us the war with the Empire from the perspective of the Ghost crew, it also did something peculiar that not many pieces of media do: make "beasts" sympathetic. More often that not, media usually portrays 'scary' animals as 'beasts', antagonists in the way of our heroes who must be vanquished without a second's thought. Rebels, however, strayed away from this convention. Ezra had an almost innate ability to both empathize and connect with many of the creatures shown in Rebels. Be it from Loth-cats to Fyrnocks, from Krykna to Loth-wolves and Purrgil, Ezra showed us how creatures aren't just beings to be defeated or feared, but the same members of the Living Force that are connected to all of us. These 'beasts' are just mere shadows of the darkness within all of us, that through patience in the Force can be brought into balance and through understanding gain wisdom. Join us as we continue remembering Rebels!

Please check out The Amidala Initiative a "...community-operated, nonprofit campaign which seeks to use our platform to raise funds for Equality Texas, the largest nonpartisan statewide political advocacy organization working to eliminate discrimination targeting the LGBTQ+ community in the state of Texas. It is our goal to show that our community can follow in the footsteps of a character like Padmé Amidala, who tirelessly used her voice to speak up to protect disenfranchised and endangered people within a flawed political system. While we may not have the reach, impact or resources of larger online presences, we do not believe that is an excuse to sit by silently as hate seeks to establish stronger footholds and threaten our most vulnerable siblings in our own galaxy."
