“obi-wan did not fear dying, but he resented dying unimpressively”

Obi-Wan “I don’t know where Anakin gets it from” Kenobi

I mean … when he did die it was probably one of the more impressive deaths the galaxy has seen recently.

He tells his errant apprentice that if he’s killed he will become more powerful than Vader can possibly imagine*, takes a lightsaber hit without bothering to block, dodge, or even look at Vader, and FUCKING DISAPPEARS INTO THIN FUCKING AIR, leaving his clothes behind, and Vader’s big victory that he’s been stewing on for twenty goddamn years is morphed into pure befuddled confusion as he’s reduced to prodding at Obi-Wan’s robe with his boot.

Oh, and then, as if that’s not awesome enough, Obi-Wan then goes on to keep on interacting with the world of the living, first assuring Luke’s escape by telling him to run, and then talking him through blowing up the goddamn Death Star via the Force.

I mean, he just takes the hit, vanishes, and proceeds to keep taking the piss out of Vader almost exactly like a master chastising an apprentice who keeps making the same disappointing mistakes.

It’s a very impressive death. His former self would be pleased.

*Ever wonder what it would have gone like if it had been Vader, and not Han, who got the “I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit” line in response to the aspersions cast on his powers of imagination? That would’ve been hilarious.

A Dutch church has been conducting religious services for 27 days to protect a refugee family

For the past 27 days, a small Protestant church in The Hague has been conducting round-the-clock religious services to protect an Armenian refugee family from deportation.

By law, police officers in The Netherlands are not allowed to enter places of worship during religious services. So, reverends from around the country have taken turns holding services at Bethel Church to prevent officials from arresting the Tamrazyan family, who have been in The Netherlands for nine years. 

“By giving hospitality to this family, we could give them time and place to [demonstrate] to the secretary of state the … urgency of their situation,” Theo Hettema, chairman of the General Council of Protestant Ministers says.

#it only counts as a service if people actually attend#so at least one person has to be there 24/7#my mum’s been getting up at 5:30 for weeks now so that she could attend a service before work#:’)#and there are a couple of volunteers who are there at night when fewer people are likely to show up#it’s a community effort and the government has no choice but to address this#there’s increasing pressure from the oppsition and some parties within the coalition as well9,035 notes

I know the church has done horrible things. But it’s moments like this that reminds me why I do my job.

looks like tumblr cleared the entirety of the #critical role tag (posts, as far as I can tell, still exist on individual blogs they’ve just been removed from the tag) so until someone sorts out that mess (@staff get your shit together) I’d suggest using the #critrole tag!!
