Love Will Tear Us Apart by John Malloy, 2013
This Saturday is the opening of ‘A Saga in the Stars: A Tribute Event to a Galaxy Far, Far Away’ A Star Wars tribute show at Gallery Nucleus. My piece was about Luke’s failure in the cave on Dagobah. Check it out along with the art of some amazing artists, if you’re in the So Cal area!
And here is what Leia does, when you force her into a scanty outfit and choke-chain: she takes that chain, and she kills you with it. She doesn’t let her clothing get in her way or limit her more than she can help—she waits for her moment to strike, and then she conquers her would-be conqueror and saves the day.
And I was a little kid, not yet desensitized to violence […] Jabba’s death scene freaked the hell out of me. It wasn’t a clean blaster shot to the chest or a slice from a lightsaber that sent sparks flying or made you turn invisible. There were struggles, and flailing, and twitching limbs. The shots are close-ups, and very dark—it’s vicious, and vengeful, and physical, and very very personal.
So for me, wearing that gold bikini does not mean Here I am, a sexy toy for your amusement and gratification.
To me, that gold bikini says, If you fuck with me, I will end you.

This was at least twice as funny as I thought it was going to be.
