padme saying “i don’t know you anymore” the key to it all maybe..she’s fought with anakin before, she’s witnessed him do terrible things, but she’s never felt like she didn’t know him. their backstories parallel each other, they both had stolen childhoods, padme would’ve felt like anakin was one of the few people in the galaxy who could understand her—and in turn, she one of the few who could understand him. her “i don’t know you anymore” comes with an implied “and you must not have known me as as well as i thought, because this isn’t what i want.” she’s mourning the loss of her first (and really, only) real connection to another human in that scene. is it a little fucked for her prioritize that connection over the suffering of others? well yes . but also very romantic ...
A gender? *Glances around, reaches into trenchcoat* yeah I think I have one of those. But it's gonna cost ya
The fact that obimaul isn't a more popular ship makes me crazy. How do more people not see it.
They're narrative foils. Maul survives a killing blow because the thought of Kenobi kept him alive, and what is obsession but a mirror of devotion? Obi-Wan is the master of defense and Maul is the master of offense. Obi-Wan's first and last kill of his life is Maul. The trajectory of their lives is extraordinary similar until the Same Duel sends them shooting off into opposite directions and defines them both for decades. A duel that teaches Obi-Wan the feeling of revenge that will haunt Maul the rest of his life. Obi-Wan was the apprentice who was never wanted. Maul was wanted too much. Obi-Wan overcame his trauma, but Maul never could. Both rebellious by nature, forced into the mold of the Perfect Example of their respective orders, and yet they have the same failing - Maul, desperate for companionship from ANYBODY, and Obi-Wan who struggles with his attachment to the people he loves. Both forced into exile by the same man who destroyed their lives and orders. They've hurt each other in unimaginable ways and yet understand each other like no one else can.
"The only one allowed to kill you is me" but isnt that just another way of asking live for me? Who is your rival but your purpose? Is there not a tenderness in the eyes of your worst enemy who has seen you at your absolute lowest and still needs you to get back up? Because without you, what are they?

What's their ship name? Nazi4Nazi?
I think about this often
I know I’m late to this party and I’m not saying anything new- but I don’t like how they always facetune Grogu in merchandise.. like, it’s usually in a cutesy simplistic art style and there’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes I’m just like.. let him be the little homunculus he is.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still audibly ‘aww’ in public if I see some Grogu merch (or Grogurch as I like to call it) but I literally forgot about how much of a little old man he is until I rewatched the mandalorian because y’all keep turning his greenness up to tenmillion and giving him juviderm
I used to be haunted by demons but now I have train pattern bedsheets
Just discussed Star Wars with a friend who has never watched the German dub, but since we were speaking German they didn't want to switch languages so they just very confidently called Sidious "Kaiser Palpatine"
Anakin: *appears*
*Vader's theme plays*
Me (with increasing hysteria): What do you mean by that? Dave?! DAVE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT
he consumes my every waking thought and most of the sleeping ones too
