So — If GEORGE LUCAS SHARED YOUR FAN ART WITHOUT ASKING OR GIVING YOU CREDIT — will you curse him out like you have cursed SWAG77 out, too?

Hmm?

So – why are you creating fan art? For a Disney Lucasfilm contract? You think Disney Lucasfilm will pick up your work on social media and extol your virtues to make you famous? REALLY?

SWAG77 discusses your logic fallacy in this post.

Our problem is that you are selective to whom you direct your hate and ire. Itโ€™s not about missing tags to fan art. Itโ€™s about you not know who the person is sharing your fan art, and you think so little of them, not realizing that fandom is a lot bigger than you think. You do not know who other fans know. And if they post your art, most of the fans are doing it because they LIKE it. It is another way of marketing it.

That is NOT the way Lucasfilm reviews art. They do complete background checks throughout the internet โ€” or they pay a third party to do it, and their lawyers review it. That still does not mean that artist will get a Disney Lucasfilm art contract. Lucasfilm hires a lot of artists that are professional and have huge portfolios. That means Lucasfilm can hire in-house. Why would they go outside to find any artist when they have artists coming to them? (The same for fan-fictions, and fan-films).

That is what you hateful misconstrue. It is not about SWAG77; itโ€™s about you thinking we are shit bad people, in your opinion. You are judgy against us before you know anything about us. That kind of judgmental ideology is fascist in your warped delusional mind and lousy attitude toward us. Why deal with you? Especially when you need to grow up. And do not brandish the fact you fantasize that you have a Lucasfilm contract because if you did, you would have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) where you cannot discuss your activities with the company. No, anyone coming to this website and any of our social media nodes belittle us is hypocritical. And SWAG77 will perceive it as racist, anti-Black, and sexist for attacking a Black Woman-owned LLC.

Let us make this clear to fans: the Star Wars Actors Guild 77 will do our best to credit fan artists to our social media nodes. WE are about supporting fandom as best as we can. In case we forget, and we sometimes do because we have thousands of ongoing projects and activities, if an artist asks us nicely and respectfully, we will add the correct information, as outlined. If we see art on any social media as shared, then you require a DCMA to demand it to be removed. But, make sure you know that WE ARE SHARING IN GOOD FAITH — accusing a Black person of stealing is fucked up, and it is stereotypical racism. Any negative comments from re-blogs, comments, or posts that are hateful, SWAG77 will pursue legal recourse. Try Jesus. Not us.

SWAG77 Ain’t No Influencers. Right?

Read Time:4 Minute, 9 Second

This post is about our Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, and various blogs:

WE HAVE A LOT… 

We have several social media accounts because seven years ago, social media platforms lacked today’s functionality.

How many accounts? We are at 500 now. We do not use all of them. At any given moment, we are working on 50 accounts.

We have to pay extra for the functionalities that we need for the blogs because we are not coders. Functionalities such as commerce, videos, audio, and cloud services have a cost, and we use more.

We have many Facebook character pages and Twitter accounts. Each lead character has a Facebook page and Twitter. The main characters we use daily have blogs at WordPress and Tumblr.

We had a directory, but because few people used it, that Facebook page has lapsed.

Characters have packages consisting of FacebookTwitter, and Tumblr because we, SWAG77, have found the best development of stories, plots, drabbles, metas, headcanons, and fan-fictions are best with these packages. Also, these packages develop a character design that gains social media metrics and insights into what works best with this character’s portrayal and performance in public.

For Example:

For Grand Admiral Thrawn, we created a Facebook pageTwitter accountTumblr blogWordPress blog, and a Patreon tier.

SWAG77 uses the Facebook page to broadcast our story ideas, character background, and canon/non-canon concepts SWAG77 wishes to relay to the public. This account links to our Twitter account with short messages through a social media management platform.

The Twitter account reaches out to an audience that craves rapid and concise messages. The pacing of Tweets excites users. SWAG77 roleplays and performs on Twitter. To gain expand understanding, we write blogs to explain SWAG77’s stories and canon/non-canon positions. We include our videos and podcasts to open up the audiovisual concepts SWAG77 wishes to show to the public. Some content is too proprietary or too mature to display publicly on our open blogs. We created Patreon.

Patreon is for active patrons to directly influence our proprietary content, hypothesis, underlying themes, and controversial subject matter. In our performances and parody rewrites of current news events, SWAG77 encounters harsh and severe misconceptions. Often, we interact with fans who refuse to read or write Star Wars. Thus, any discussion hurts our business. While we are willing to educate fans, we have found that minimal engagement is best. Should fans want more, they can join our Patreon.

We find that fans invest emotionally in entertainment content. Some fans cannot separate between fact or fiction and live their reality vicariously. There is psychological contagion on social media that spreads rapidly where the artificial intelligence engines are incapable of discerning. SWAG77 has endured attacks on our social media accounts because we discuss and tagline promotes our controversial subject matter that can enrage some fans. We suffer the brunt of this disinformation and toxic fandom in entertainment. SWAG77 has little recourse but blocks/bans radical fans who refuse to “stay on target” with our content and messaging.

SWAG77 created Patreon to open our stories to diverse points of view. We would instead show our completed work on all our Facebook, Twitter, and Blog accounts. But put our proprietary content behind a paywall for serious fan engagement with Star Wars fandom. We as a business feel safer with like-minded fans who support SWAG77 primary mission.

What does that do for our Thrawn?

It tightens the fan-fiction stories that SWAG77 wants to present publicly. The more we engage, the better our content creation. We want to show Disney Lucasfilm Star Wars the best that fandom has to offer. We know that the Disney Corporation prefers fan camaraderie rather than conflict.

Grand Admiral Thrawn is a villain that author Timothy Zahn wrote novels in 1991 in the Legend’s canon. Recently, Lucasfilm reintroduced Thrawn into Disney canon with new canon literature and Star Wars Rebels TV show. In SWAG77’s opinion, Thrawn is not a villain yet in the Disney novel canon. In the Star Wars Rebels TV show, he does some questionable actions, but nothing as extensive as in the Legend’s canon books. SWAG77 reads all the books from Legend’s canon and Disney’s canon. We encourage fans to READ — and READ BOOKS, particularly Star Wars literature. Both canons write about Thrawn. There are conflicts in both canons, but we can write about them in the blogs so that fans can choose their story path and then create their own stories with a good foundation that SWAG77 provides to our Patreon members.

From Star Wars fans’ suggestions, SWAG77 adds the ideas to best portray and perform Grand Admiral Thrawn during our scripted roleplays. We will give accolades to those who helped SWAG77 develop the character and story arc.

These activities are what the Star Wars Actors Guild 77 (SWAG77) has done for thirteen years.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Additional Tags: Observations, Star Wars Actors Guild 77, SWAG 77
Series: Part 1 of Get Thrawn In Star Wars Rebels
Summary:

Mitth’raw’nuruodo, a Chiss Imperial Officer distant emotions with a cool reflective to lead his sector fleet in the Galactic Empire. His strategies and tactics work better when he is devoid of emotion, as taught by the Chiss Ascendancy House Nuruodo. He was exiled from his people as punishment for an outburst he had in Chiss Space. Or at least that is what is on the official record. Found on an undeveloped planet, the Galactic Empire embraced him and he rose through the Imperial ranks to a Grand Admiral. Life is lonely at the top. It bores him, the people, the slow pace, the loneliness. His personal studies in art and antiquities brought him creature-comfort joy. Then he met a young Rebel woman, a Mandalorian, an artist that excites his fascination in the galaxy and gives him room to breathe, creatively. A fiery passion ignites his desires. The Chiss thought the Ascendancy excise those genes from the gene pool through eugenics. Turns out his desires for community are not genetic. His desires expand and reverberate continuously in the Force.

SWAG77 Fanfic: HoloNet Realtime News Report with Saawariya -Across The Stars

Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second

[HOLONET REALTIME NEWS REPORTER]

โ€œArt Lovers Caught!โ€ — Alien Grand Admiral Adds An Imperial Academy Deserter Now Rebel To His Art Collection.

The two caught canoodling between the paints aboard a Star Destroyer on an alleged interrogation witnessed by Imperial Loyalty Officers — Let’s listen in on the news conference:

โ€œ…there were, uh, suspicious paint stains on [static] uniform,โ€ย  Imperial Loyalty Officer Sinjir Rath Velus.ย 

โ€œThe colors arenโ€™t under any Imperial regulations.โ€

“Neither was the position!Another Imperial Loyalty Officer under Sinjir Rath Velus.

Does this incident spell the end for the Grand Admiral and all aliens that serve the Empire? A representative, Commodore Natasi Daala of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkinโ€™s office, sent a holocommuniqueย in part:

โ€œAll our human officers are held to a higher standard. That holoimage is a ruse by the insurgent Rebel forces to taint a good manโ€™s name.โ€ ย 

Baron Valen Rudor supports interspecies marriage equality from a different perspective, a bill currently being debated in the Imperial Senate.

โ€œI knew Sabine Wren at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore, and I remember her being expelled. I always wondered who her patron was. Now I know. The Admiral is a good man. This is all a misunderstanding, and he plans to reclaim wayward Imperial members targeted by the Rebel wild conspiracy theories that Lord Vader and their HoloNet disinformation slaughtered the Jedi.”

The Imperial Military states that perhaps it is a misguided effort by the Admiral to reclaim Imperial traitors and return them to justice. Still, we need to understand how Thrawnโ€™s alien culture views his sexual accusation to determine the best course of action against Mandalorian and Rebel.

Flesh And The Devil” still image top. Star Wars fanfic Thrawn x Sabine fan art by Panda Capuccino bottom

Do you remember your first kiss? Was it filmed? Before 1926, no movie from a major Motion Picture Studio had a deepened kiss in its movies. At this time, movies were still silent. Though not the first kiss filmed, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s “Flesh and the Devil” starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert made history in filming the first kiss by a major motion picture studio in 1926.
