Title/Link: [VID] All I Know So Far

Creator: colls

Prompt: Day 8: Success
Fandom: Star Wars

Characters: Ahsoka Tano (With guest stars Sabine Wren and Anakin Skywalker)

Rating/Warnings: Gen, None

Summary: A vid about Ahsoka's journey.

Reccer's Notes: What is success when you're living through the fall of the Republic, the great Jedi Purge and the rise of the Empire? For Ahsoka, it means continuing to uphold all of the ideas that she believed in, working alongside the few she cared about who were able to survive, and refusing to fall to the Dark Side, even when it would be easier not to. Both the Vid and the song really capture that spirit.

Fandom: Obi-Wan Kenobi
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Leia & Obi-Wan
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: Gracie by

seekingferret
Summary: You can't fool me/ I saw you when you came out.

Reccer's Notes: If Little Leia from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series stole your heart, this vid is gonna steal it again. It's so well edited and this vidder has a gift for storytelling in vid form.

Fandom: Star Wars Rebels
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Hera, Sabine, Ahsoka
Rating and/or Content Warnings: The tie-in for the theme is a little thin, but I'm sure you'll see it if you squint. ;)
Links: The Greatest by

starlady
Summary: I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive. Hera, Sabine, Ahsoka, and the Rebellion.

Reccer's Notes: This is such a superb vid! Each of the ladies gets a chance to shine here and the editing is a marvel. I love how much of an emotional ride this is as well as how it highlights them overcoming setbacks and rising to the challenge.
This is 'The Greatest' Rebels vid ;)

Fandom: Star Wars (live action)
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: 34 women from Star Wars
Rating and/or Content Warnings: this is a self-rec, doesn't entirely fit today's theme
Links: Badass Woman by

colls
Summary: I'm a force of nature that you can't ignore

Reccer's Notes: Women being badass, but also includes women uplifting women. Mostly, I had an incredible amount of fun making this vid and wanted to share. And you know how the saying goes... "sharing is caring" ;)

Fandom: Andor, Rogue One, Skywalker Saga
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Mon Mothma
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: Her Ex-Lover is Dead by

PoliticalPadmé(magnetgirl)
Summary: When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.

Reccer's Notes: This vid captures Mon Mothma's 'velvet hammer' approach to the rebellion. In this vid, I can feel it as she senses the Imperial grip tightening and it illuminates how she rebels with grace and eloquence and a lot of personal sacrifice.

Fandom: Star Wars The Clone Wars, Rebels
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Anakin & Ahsoka
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: But Now I'm Gold by

badritual
Summary:
and i was your silver lining as the story goes
i was your silver lining but now i'm gold

Reccer's Notes: I love how well this vid weaves back and forth in their lives (you could say in the "seasons" of their lives) and how it showcases their bond. The song choice gives it a bit of a melancholic vibe that sits so well with how their story goes.

Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy, The Force Awakens
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Leia, Rey
Rating and/or Content Warnings: Mind the AO3 tags (character death)
Links: Carry That Weight by

Anoel
Summary: I will sing a lullaby. #RepresentationMatters

Reccer's Notes: This vid celebrates female representation in pop culture media through the lens of Leia and Rey. How often do we get to see women reprise roles decades later and make such an impact? This vid also feels like a bit of the 'passing of the torch' - fannishly speaking - made more poignant by the loss of Carrie Fisher. Near the end, it includes other female icons from the franchise including some fabulous cosplayers.
It's wonderfully edited! And overall such a wonderful, emotional vid.

Fandom: Solo: A Star Wars Story
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Val, Val/Beckett
Rating and/or Content Warnings: this vid does not contain food nor drink, you could say the lack of which is noticable (?) ;p
ETA: Mind the AO3 tags (character death)
Links: S-Town by

cupidsbow
Summary: Val is deeply familiar with Shit Town, but defies it to the end.

Reccer's Notes: I'm not sure if anyone recalls a podcast that went somewhat viral a while back (2017?) called S-Town. It was made by the same people that made 'Serial' which was about a murder in my city. Anyway, S-Town was enthralling.
When this vid came along incorporating that theme into Solo and into Val specifically, I was sold! We didn't get nearly enough about her in the movie, but what we did get was someone who knew the score and knew that life was handing her a shit-sandwich (wait... there's the food! LOL) but she grabbed on for whatever she could. Tough and a little jaded, she didn't suffer fools. And this vid is a fabulous tribute to her character.

Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Leia Organa
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: Burn It Down by

ExtraPenguin
Summary: Leia Organa will burn down the Empire and the Death Star and everything that tries to stop her.

Reccer's Notes: This a chronological vid showcasing the Original Trilogy and it focuses in on Leia's fierceness (and the rebellion's by extension). Her determination and passion for her cause shine through and the editing is nicely done.
As for the Empire? Burn baby burn.

Fandom: Andor
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Mon Mothma
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: Prelude by

runawaynun
Summary: The prelude to Mon Mothma's open rebellion.

Reccer's Notes: This is a stunning character piece that explores the sacrifices Mon Mothma made, the secrets she kept, the lies she told - all for the rebellion she helped ignite.

Fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Leia Organa
Rating and/or Content Warnings: this is a self-rec
Links: Lady with a Rocket by

colls
Summary: Leia is awesome.

Reccer's Notes: Strong and feisty can be a mood, right? Leia is strong and feisty, but doesn't have a lot of good footage to work with in the original trilogy, which honestly puts me in a whole other mood. ;)

Fandom: Star Wars
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters:
Rating and/or Content Warnings: this doesn't technically fit the theme (I could stretch it and say some of these characters appear in books? IDK)
Links: Best Shot by

smilebackwards
Summary: So take your best shot. A women in Star Wars vid.

Reccer's Notes: This is a delightful look at the badass-ery of several Star Wars ladies taking shots (either literally or metaphorically).

Pairings/Characters: Rey
Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: She's A Rebel by

alba17
Summary: She's a rebel, she's a saint
She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous

Reccer's Notes: The song choice is perfect! The vidder has a wonderful sense of timing that makes for a great watch!

Fandom: Star Wars (The Clone Wars & The Mandalorian)
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Bo-Katan Kryze
Rating and/or Content Warnings: quick edits, some strobing effect
Links: Bo-Katan Kryze | Castle by

moonreverie
Summary: "I accept this sword for my sister....for my clan....and for all of Mandalore!"

Reccer's Notes: Bo-Katan is one of those characters that appeared in the animated series and then in the live-action series ('change'). The voice actor and the live-action actor where the same, so the vidder's use of dialogue in this vid drives home the point that this is the same character. The themes in the vid match lyrically to the music and Bo-Katan's character arc very well.

Fandom: Star Wars Ahsoka
Fanwork type: vid
Pairings/Characters: Sabine Wren/Shin Hati
Rating and/or Content Warnings:

YumagnasHome
Summary: Chapter 1: Lover, Hunter, Friend and Enemy

Reccer's Notes: What better fit for today's theme than a love/hate frenemies sort of rec?! :)
I love the editing and sense of timing in this vid. The vidder uses several editing techniques and they feel organic (vs. forced). Also, I love the parallels and interactions between these two women and this vid highlights them so well.

Vidder Summary: SPOILER WARNINGS Star Wars The Clone Wars and Rebels
This is a tribute to a former Jedi Ahsoka Tano.

This vid is in the format of a character tribute, and as such, it is a great character primer for Ahsoka Tano, covering her story from The Clone Wars through Rebels. It showcases her padawan training and her bond with Anakin Skywalker. While she ultimately leaves the Jedi Order, her Jedi education instills in her the ideals that ultimately lead to some of the more significant acts of rebellion against the Empire.
