ask star wars fandom to explain why it's noble, heroic, and the height of compassion for luke to go to vader and ask for vader to come away with him, but why the common take is that it was pathetic, immoral, and stupid of padme to do the same thing (despite padme knowing anakin better, having a more personal relationship with anakin, and anakin having done just by the numbers a couple less murders) and then watch it shit itself to death as it rapidly tries to explain that No It's Feminism Actually
βSometimes she would close her eyes and dream of him, but it was never Jorah Mormont she dreamed of; her lover was always younger and more comely, though his face remained a shifting shadowβ
one thing i rlly rlly love abt matthew stover's take on the mustafar fight is how delusional he writes anakin. i mean hes flashing the crazy eyes in the movies but there's this specific kind of ruthlessness he has that people mistake for knowing what hes doing. like, he SOUNDS really convinced abt what hes saying and doing and youre hoping somewhere up there the hamster wheel is still spinning but willingness for cold blooded murder still doesnt mean ability for cold blooded reasoning. the hamster wheel IS still spinning but the hamster is on coke. but in the novelisation tho... he contradicts himself three times in a single exchange. padme tells him obi-wan is trying to kill him and that she didnt let him know where anakin was. anakin says aw thats too bad bc obi-wan has to die, hes a hussy and an enemy of state and he would have loved to fight him etc etc, really padme SHOULD have led him to him. then obi-wan shows up, anakin immediately attacks padme for leading obi-wan to him. you can argue that this was him being mad over perceived deception, not him changing his mind abt being sooo into fighting his best friend to the death (he does tell padme he would have loved this if it was a lover's gift) but then. after he choked out padme over the whole obi-wan thing he turns to obi-wan and is basically like yeah you can walk away. just retire or something. i wont bother you if you dont bother me, you always liked to meditate in solitude
