Note: Originally published in the December 2016 issue of Femnista. It is no longer available on that website, so I’m republishing it here. For most of us who started watching Star Wars before the prequels came out, Darth Vader loomed as a compelling, mysterious figure. His reveal as Luke’s father, former Jedi Anakin Skywalker, only […]
I initially expected I’d be typing Din Djarin as an ISTP or ISTJ. When I rewatched this show and took notes, though, I was struck by how flexible his perspective on the world actually is. After spending more time than I care to admit trying to come up with a reason why he has such […]
I was so excited to have Mary Beth Ellis contact me after my last blog post about doing an interview with Monsters & Critics. In this post, we talk about why I think it’s useful to see droids as having human traits, which characters are the hardest and easiest to type, the possibility of typing […]
One of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a great example of the ISFJ personality type. Though he is not as stereotypically ISFJ as a character like Samwise Gamgee or Captain America, I do think that’s the best fit for him. Like many ISFJs, he’s quite comfortable working on his […]
I love Kanan. He’s one of my favorite characters in Star Wars and also one of my two favorite Jedi (right up there with Obi-Wan Kenobi, who’s an ISFJ). Like several other Star Wars characters, Kanan’s personality type is ISTP. I love seeing this in a show or series since it gives us examples of […]
“The general? To me, she’s royalty.” — Lor San Tekka One of Star War’s most beloved characters, Princess-General Leia Organa is surprisingly difficult to type. Most people say she’s an ESTJ or ENTJ but there is also a complelling case to be made that she’s an INFP like her brother Luke. I ultimately decided to […]
I love The Clone Wars series. The entire thing is worth watching (if you’re planning that, click here to see how it fits into the whole media timeline), but what if you’re just trying to hit the highlights? Maybe you’re trying to binge as much as possible before watching Ahsoka and can’t fit the whole series in. Or maybe […]
Several months ago, I listened to an episode of Full of Sith where Brian and Holly were talking about their favorite tiny moments in Star Wars (mostly the Disney-era films) and it inspired me to write about some of mine. Since I’m re-watching the movies and series in chronological order to prep for Disney’s streaming service […]
Diplomacy is one of the greatest strengths of an NF type personality, and nowhere is that made more clear in Star Wars than by Padmé Amidala Naberrie. One of the defining aspects of her character is her constant insistence on trying to find peaceful, mutually beneficial resolutions to conflicts. Like many women, Padmé leads with […]
As someone who shows up in all three Star Wars trilogies, and as a key influence on several other main characters, Yoda is one of the most influential people within the Star Wars universe. He plays a unique role in the story, and it seems fitting that (as the only INFJ main character) he also […]
