i think it's great that people who've suffered religious trauma feel a connection to anakin. i also think it's deeply troubling that the majority of them are either unable to recognize or unwilling to admit that the religion he was indoctrinated into and abused by was the sith and not, in fact, the jedi.
I say Jungkook bias because all jk stans are hot and a little evil
I know I'm not the only one to notice this, but osha's tattoo is incredibly similar to the BTS logo ...Osha is a space ARMY? Sparmy? Probably Jungkook biased imo
star wars is so fuckign stupid. i genuinely disagree with this storytelling choice because i think a key part of vader's character + psychological purgatory is he never gets that closure of going back and enacting harm against his enslavers, the only real retribution he does is killing palpatine. but i can't say "killing watto negatively impacts vaders arc" without sounding insane . can i
i feel like luke would be very nervous to tell din about his family but then he realizes it doesn’t matter bc din doesn’t even know who darth vader is and also doesn’t give a shit
everything about the clones’ existence makes me so unwell. it’s like. you are a copy of a man who is a killer but he is also a father and he is whip-smart and tough but he’s a simple man and he asks for one thing when he agrees to be cloned and it’s a son. and you grow up to look just like this man but you are not his son you are his paycheck
I usually stick to canon, but the legends Jedi Apprentice series has a very special place in my heart partially because giving obi-wan a messed up apprenticeship where he was a child soldier several times adds so much to his character... directly informs his views on war and violence and a Jedi's role in those acts... anyway hey alexa play a pearl by Mitski
very much spitballing here, forgive me, but i think for the sake of the narrative needing a negative controlling idea and glucas’ use of obi-wan as a centering device in both his trilogies, obi-wan never really processes his role as a soldier and how that led to the fall of the republic. (obviously the jedi’s militarization wasn’t the only factor nor did they “deserve” their genocide. let’s be adults). because by the time of anh obi-wan is isolated, and regretful, but he still talks of fighting/war/battle in this either nuetral or valorizing tone. he hypes up both yoda and anakin as expert warriors. and when it comes down to it, 11th hour, he tells luke to kill vader. he tells him it needs to be done. BUT! when we meet yoda, he’s lowkey pushing back on that. he rejects the warrior label obi-wan gave him. even as he preps luke for what he knows is inevitable (a vader confrontation), he tells luke to forsake his weapons. you compare that to mr obi fuck-it-lightsaber-in-the-cantina wan there, that’s such an interesting divide. at the end of the day both yoda and obi-wan form a thematic block that luke needs to overcome, but they come at it from different angles. not to mention in the pt yoda is the only jedi with consistent lil moments of “hmm. fucked up we have”, and all those little moments coming to fruition puts him in such a deep shame that he fucks off to a swamp forever. with hindsight, his whole “wars not make one great” deal comes off very much like he’s processing the reality of counting on this kid to kill his dad and not feeling too good about it maybe
Ngl joining the jedi order sounds like the ideal life to me because just imagine:
1. People regulate thier emotion and communicate to you logically. No need to understand social cues when you're an empath.
2. No pressure to marry, be in a romantic relationship and live in a nuclear household my entire life.
3. I can just?????? Help people?????? Without the extra cost of a system working me to the ground to achieve certain things????
4. No strings attached companionship and friendships? Amazing.
5. A caring and respectful community who council each other and accepts who I am as a person? Count me in.
6. Lightsaber go brrrrrrrrrr
7. Being able to do what I want career wise (Gardening, art, politics, piloting, exploring, childreering, medicine, teaching, etc.) without having to worry about money.
8. Tax fraud
Ao3 being down is actually so validating bc this proves it's not just my fanfiction addiction preventing me from doing Stuff, I can avoid Stuff just fine on my own
