Act 2 Ando Season 2, among other things, rebellion enthusiasts Vel Sartha and Cinta Kaz are part of Luthen's attempt to explore resistance to the Ghorman Empire. Years after the events of Season 1 – In the climax of the first trilogy of Season 2, the distant “reunion” is closely linked to the distant “reunion” when Vel and Cinta meet again, they have the opportunity to reflect on their relationship with Luthen and Luthen, and the growing rebels between each other, and finally, in a season, in a gentle moment, they are once again stuck in a mess, a mess. It can be said Star Wars'The most prominent and clear display of queer intimacy on screen.
Alas, this is not to last. Almost after Cinta and Vel shared their passion together, the tragic strike. Anxiety and unprepared members of Ghorman's robbery against the Imperial weapons, one of the guerrillas, Samm and local Ghor, led to an unexpected explosion, a wandering bolt that cleans Cinta in her chest, killing her instantly (Banner Sether Week) (Banner Sether Week for Varada Sethu, apparently the latest) Doctor Who).
It was both a great dramatic moment, especially the consequences of Vel's sadness, where she hangs the trauma of Cinta's death on Samm's conscience, which is the greater pain she can suffer at this moment, rather than simply killing him, and it's an incredibly precarious messy person- Ando navigation. However, it can be handled anyway, and this moment still has a controversial process of launching LGBTQ characters that haunt discussions of queer representatives in the media for years: the idea of “burying your gay”, which introduces a queer character and then once a shock value is checked out, it creates shock value for diverse characters, not for diverse characters.
Star Warsespecially in the on-screen material, there is still a long way to go in introducing famous LGBTQ characters, five years from the painful watershed The Rise of SkywalkerA brief sapphic kiss. Although there are many queer characters Star Wars Today, media, from comics, books to games, Star Wars Still in many franchises that are still primarily film and television, and Vel and Cinta are arguably the most outstanding on-screen LGBTQ characters it has conveyed so far in the past decade. Give them a tragic ending, especially after allowing them a moment of joy and reconciliation and romance, in which case, no matter how it is handled Ando It is usually willing to induce tension in its spy thriller narrative, thus making it clear to the audience that the vast majority of its actors are rarely guaranteed.
But on the other hand, Ando Not to consider Cinta's death as merely a shock value. This moment is a huge weight, which means that the arc itself is built in tensions about what people really mean by their mastery. Cinta's courage could have won her hero's death, which is a glory that she reflects against the choice of empire AndoThey did not gain the freedom to die. This can be sudden, messy, and unsatisfactory, because it's just the reality that we all face in the shadow of the great equalizer. Her death was not only a harsh lesson from the Ghorman Front, but also for Vel and the audience: Revolutions are rarely clean, rarely without cost.
Vel and Cinta are one of several romances Ando Exploration and often fractures are because they are plagued by the necessity of resistance, and it can be said that even their relationship forms an important part of that question, whose nature is clearly queer, is not the only defining aspect of the shot. Different riseA short, easily discarded queer moment, Ando Think of Cinta and Vel as rich, fulfilling characters that happen to be strange characters, rather than Capital-Q, Capital-C queer characters whose existence only hangs on the franchise's Metatermext, start saying “Look, Leesbians!” and then have little else to say before being discarded. This doesn't remove the weirdness of any character, but just makes it an aspect of their overall nature.
AndoIn this regard, the narrative treats them with their narrative, even if Cinta and Vel face the tough prospect of still being one of the few queer queer couples on screen in the series so far, means that the show treats their actors as they both do almost as any other member. exist AndoCase, which means giving them the right to harm the narrative, to harm the harm, to suffer random tragedies, just like any other heteronormative feature. Even Star Wars Still keep taking small steps to better represent many queer characters, which in critical cases does not feel like it doesn’t risk those characters simply because of its representational importance. Cinta is not Vel, either have Destined to be attracted to the narrative, but in the story Ando Saying Star Warsthey can be the fact that the series is considered as check boxes on a diverse list of representatives.
Star Wars There should definitely be more gay people, so losing anyone at the moment will always be hurt. But tangible, part of the journey represented by quality also means that those queer characters need to be as messy, complex and nuanced as their straight simultaneously to see them as actual characters, while queer is just a quality, a story that includes many stories that can be used to explore. Sometimes, it also means being able to put them in ways of harm and go through tragedy, for better or worse, rather than hiding them safely on a shelf.
