In the star wars holiday special, there's a segment where Princess Leia sings. This act retroactively makes her a legitimate Disney princess.

    I am pretty sure it’s just because she is a princess who is now owned by Disney. It’s not like every disney princess sings a song. Jasmine, Merida, Raya, and Aurora never sang shit.

      Jasmine sung with Aladdin a whole new world.

      I don’t know who Merida, Raya, and Aurora are. Must have been after my time.

        Merida is from Brave.

        Raya is from Raya and The Last Dragon.

        Aurora is Sleeping Beauty’s actual name.

    I don’t consider Disney’s ster wers to be legitimate Star Wars.

        Good point.

        I don’t know if we should consider characters as Disney Princesses that weren’t created under the Disney Company.

    When Disney bought Fox, they acquired MASH, which means Klinger is a Disney Princess.

    Why is singing the deciding factor? She is a princess in a franchise owned by Disney, is that not enough?

      I’d wager some innocent soul thought they were being clever by pointing out what makes a disney princess, and then more innocent souls lapped it up to feel like they’re “in the know.”

      Kairi is a Disney Princess and that was a centerpiece of the plot in her story, but she does not sing as far as I know. Certainly not in the first game where this lore was established.

      (she honestly has barely any lines or presence at all, which sucks)

    The xenomorph is initially spawned by a queen, and Disney owns the alien franchise, so the xenomorph also is a Disney princess!

    I wonder if this would have made Carrie not lose her temper at any mention of the Holiday Special.

    I thought we all had agreed that we would not discuss the Star Wars Holiday Special ever again.

      Nonsense. The old man Wookie VR porn is some of the best cinema to have been released to date. And how can you forget the child following instructions to assemble a gift?

      SWTOR clearly didn’t get the memo. There’s Life Day robe cosmetics and such.

        Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is also excellent.

        They also winked at the hologram stripper scene in Skeleton Crew (a show that didn’t get the attention it deserves, so go watch it if you haven’t).

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
