That guy in the Rogue One trailer, with the white Imperial uniform? There’s only ever been one rank in the entire Imperial Navy which wears a white uniform: Grand Fucking Admiral.
For those unfamiliar with the old EU, in the entirety of the Galactic Empire, which at its peak ruled over literally trillions of sentients, there were never more than twelve Grand Admirals at any given time. These guys outranked Grand Moff Tarkin, the old dude who kept Vader in check in Episode IV. There were only like four people in the galaxy more powerful than them, and one of those was the Emperor.
But what made these guys so important wasn’t just their rank. It was that they were all hand-picked by Palpatine for their sheer genius. Their tactical brilliance was literally the stuff of legends. Five years after the second Death Star was destroyed, just the rumour that a Grand Admiral might have survived the fall of the Empire was enough to cause all sorts of strife in the New Republic.
When that rumour turned out to be true, Grand Admiral Thrawn single-handedly brought the New Republic government to its knees, holding the entire planet of Coruscant hostage to terror for months with a brilliant tactical ploy.
Like. If this film does this character anywhere near the justice the Grand Admiral rank deserves, he is going to be one hell of a fucking villain.
THANK YOU! I’m such a slut for Grand Admirals, you’ve no idea. I loved the Thrawn trilogy, I love the Empire. Please make this guy worthy of the uniform he’s wearing.
I’m sorry all I can see is Thrawn going NO CAPES ^_^

Even before the show aired on Sunday night, Melissa McCarthy knew that she’d be making history at the MTV Movie Awards. For the first time ever, a woman would be winning MTV’s Comedic Genius Award, and it was McCarthy who’d be receiving the honor.
I’ll never, never understand why people think it’s their business to comment on other people’s bodies. I go to a spa in LA sometimes, a Korean day spa, and all the women there are nude. And I’ve never felt so in love with the human form as when I’m walking around and seeing all those bodies, thinking, Oh my god, we’re all just built so differently. And every single body is beautiful. I will never understand that shame, and the reinforcement of that shame. It’s crazy. (x)
Every single thing about the murder of Ingrid Lyne is horrible. Lyne—a local woman, a medical professional, a mom, and a human being—was murdered after planning to go on a date with a man she met on the internet and had been out with before.
Her remains were found in recycling bin.
It is profoundly tragic and sad and unfortunately extremely indicative of the fact that misogyny literally kills people and that men are one of the single biggest threats to women’s safety.
You would think that, given the details of this extremely awful, painful, terrible thing, it couldn’t get worse. And yet somehow, people are making it worse. Because of course they are.
Should we know better than to read the comments? Of course. But as several people have informed us, the comments on this story confirm that rape culture is the realest of real.
Yes. People are literally blaming this woman for being murdered.
One of the most dangerous things a woman can do is live her life.
We know our readers are better than this, but maybe tell your friends. Tell your family. Misogyny kills. Violence against women is deadly. And it can’t be stopped by women staying home.
