I Know I’m Late To This Party And I’m Not Saying Anything New- But I Don’t Like How They Always

it is so so cool how the first ever mention of padme comes at the tail end of rotj, just a half-memory from leia (“beautiful, kind…but sad”) that luke desperately clings to. and then the first ever onscreen appearance of padme comes from a screen-within-a-screen as she threatens the trade federation (“its queen amidala herself!”) in queen regalia so elaborate it masks her identity. we see padme through the eyes and faded memories of others before we get to know her as a human being. she barely steps out of that imperial queen persona for the whole of tpm, and then by the time we do get to see who padme really is and what she’s like with the queen mask off (aotc, rots), we find out she is, in fact, the sum of both her kids. she is endlessly forgiving and very smart and she burns for justice but is forever marked by war. she is her son, she is her daughter. you have this urge to see more of padme throughout the films, then by the time she’s telling vader she sees the good in him, you realize you’ve known her all along:) and luke’s response of “i have no memory of my mother, i never knew her” hits a million times harder, because he didn’t need to know her to carry out her legacy. it’s loose and a bit clunky but this is the magic to star wars releasing in backwards order, you get to find out padme never died!

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

This is literally post-Naboo Maul. to mee

the way that history must weigh upon the mind of the living in order for anyone to move forward….

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

stop playing hat man where is he?

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 ...
