beccatoriaDudes, I started making this in November 2010 and then somehow...stopped for nearly a year. I don't usually do that, and I always thought the idea was kinda fun. So I finally finished it. Have a vid.

Date: 2011-12-13 05:22 pm (UTC)This also reminds me of how brilliant "When I Was a Boy" was for similar reasons -- subverting the typical interpretation of the story without changing the essence or nature of the characters at all. So in case I forgot to say that when I watched it -- thank you for that one, too!

Date: 2011-12-14 09:30 pm (UTC)I'm really happy you liked that aspect of the vid, because yes, it was definitely intentional. I wanted to showcase her not just as an action chick (with all the usual associated tropes, including love interests/inclusion of sexuality into asskicking, etc.) but as a person in a position of command power? Like, what she manages to achieve physically and politically on a larger scale than just shooting a trooper in the head, or snogging a boy. Which is why I deliberately cut out the interpersonal stuff and also tried to tie her more into the large-scale battles where she had a commanding, logistical role, rather than just focusing on the small-scale skirmish action where she shoots off a gun a few times? Not that I dislike that she is also able to bullseye a stormtrooper, I just wanted to focus on a part of her character that I think - much as I love the films - was largely left to implication.
Thanks again for such a thoughtful comment!

Date: 2012-01-06 09:56 pm (UTC)I said as much to a few other commenters above, but am glad for the chance to reiterate, it's so gratifying to hear that by the end I had managed to create a setup where her implication as an influential force on the battle in political and military terms was clear, because the end was the part I was most worried about since it was the one battle sequence I knew I didn't have footage of her actively directing in some capacity but rather participating in as a soldier also, and not in the same arena as the rest of the events (i.e. not in spaaaaaace).
I love how you describe her as steady. That's perfect. *hugs it*
This is a joyful and enjoyable vid.
