Happy Mother's Day to Shara Bey, who is in fact Poe Dameron's mother & inspired him to become a pilot like she did. Even if you've passed (like too many mothers in Star Wars) on & certain creatives tried to replace you with *sigh* Kijimi Pirates...I'll never forget you.

Happy Mother's Day to Breha Organa, Queen of Alderaan who never hid your scars from the Day of Demand you earned your crown. You raised, loved & mentored your daughter Leia & your last thoughts were of her. She never forgot you. All honors to you & all the adopted Moms.

Speaking of adopted Moms, Happy Mother's Day to Beru Whitesun Lars. You always wanted Luke to follow his own path & tried to convince Owen to let him leave the nest. I raise a glass of Blue Milk to you Aunt Beru.

Happy Mother's Day to Shmi Skywalker who raised her son on her own under (to put it mildly) very diffucult circumstances & never lost her compassion & kindness. All respect to you & all single Moms

Mother's Day nod to Padmé Amidala who never got to be a mother to her kids & to all those missing their mothers today.

Mother's Day nod to Leia Organa, Princess & General. Who spent her life fighting for a better galaxy & was never there for her son as much as she wanted to be but never truly gave up on him & wanted him back. She deserved more than she got. Wish Carrie could have shined in IX.

Happy Mother's Day to Talzin: Clan Mother of the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Who never gave up on getting her son back from Darth Sidious.

Happy Mother's day to Ursa Wren: leader & Countess of Clan Wren. Who proved that no one is ever really gone & who saved her kid when they needed her.

I do NOT wish a happy mother's day to Rey's mom. Whether she was a filthy junk trader who sold her daughter for drinking money or the "they sold you to protect you" retcon nonsense where her daughter was sold into slavery...just...the writing was so bad in IX...not over it...UGH!

ANYWAY. Happy Mother's Day to Hera Syndulla: Pilot of the Ghost & General in the Rebel Alliance. Mother to Jacen & really mother to Ezra. Anyone would be honored to serve with her crew. Also an exception to how mothers in Star Wars usually wind up; you go Rebels creative!

Well I don't think I missed any major characters but feel free to let me know if I did. This kinda spur of the moment thread brought to you by a napping cat who loves laps. end

In fact real kudos should go to my Mother & Sister, with whom I've had many valuable conversations with, including about fiction & treatment of mothers & mother figures in it. I'm so grateful I got to Zoom chat with them today. (real end of thread).
