Hux Meta Galore!

Rather than re-post all our Hux meta over here where we would have had to have all the participants reposting everything in order in several different places, we've decided to put it in a multi-author, multi-chapter post on Ao3.

(By 'we' I mean  me,lavender_sage filigranka  bxwtothefirstorder and darthlenaplant)

Anyone looking for discussions about Armitage Hux, Brendol Hux and his A+ parenting, (and to a lesser extent Kylo Ren, Phasma, Gallius Rax, Cardinal, Rae Sloane, Vi Moradi, Moden Canady and the rest of the First Order gang), please do come across there and join in the discussion!

Conversations About Hux

I found my icons

Ha, I found *most* of my icons. I'm still missing my one of the blue octopus sitting in a chair and reading a book, which used to be my default. But otherwise all the old favourites are here :) Poets never have anything to say about cheese. Axiom Testing Station. What an horrible abuse was this? Morris dancing stormtrooper, etc. Lovely!

Vindicated at last!

 Ha, look at this! Qui-Gon Jinn's deepest, darkest secret revealed in which the only Jedi I've really ever had time for is revealed to have felt that the Jedi were being used by the Republic as their enforcers and soldiers, and when he is sent out to fight for the Jedi council he feels like a murderer.

"As Qui Gon makes perfectly clear, they serve the Force, not the Jedi Order."

I am going to have to buy that, but it makes me punch the air. This is pretty much what I've said ever since TPM came out. There was definitely a school of thought that felt that Qui-Gon was an imperfect Jedi in the sense of being less fully 'Light' than the rest of them - of having more of a tendency towards immorality and selfishness. But what I noticed was that Qui-Gon was the only Jedi who treated his beliefs as a religion - who attempted to surrender his own will to the will of the Force, rather than allowing himself to be used as a political weapon. And who as a result was treated as a dangerous maverick by the rest of the Order.

I'm so pleased :) Most of my Qui-Gon meta was lost when the Yahoo groups and Geocities sites went down and I don't want to try to recreate it here, but I was so interested in him as a man of faith, whose humility could be mistaken for arrogance because it was so immovable.

It's nice to think I was on track all those years ago.
