#Anakin Enslaved

[furious-blueberry0]

"Oh but the Jedi were so cold and detached and they even condemned love, they were so cruel"

The Jedis were the literal definition of Agape love, but I guess that for you people the only type of love that exists and is valid is the one that leads you to fucking

[elizabethwydevilles]

I think that 'you're like a father too me' vs 'you were my brother' is crucial in understanding the Anakin and Obi-Wan dynamic and their particular brand of dysfunctional communication.

Rebel: quick, we need a distraction

Luke: I've got just the thing

Luke: *yells at Darth vader for not sending his money back to beru*

[yells-of-the-not-so-danged]

i love Darth Vader, he's comedy and horror all wrapped into one and it's great. Like, your life support suit is purposefully terrible at it's job and hurts like hell, and the person who designed it is your dad/mentor/groomer/cult leader. You get on spzoom (space zoom) with your evil dad, and you have to kneel on your shitty leg prosthetics that dig into what is only loosely called a thigh stump. All while the pain washes over you (the pain is good, you can evil photosynthesize it into Power) your boss is telling you that he lied and your child DID survive childbirth/your wife's murder (which you think you did) and is in fact the rebel who blew up your boss's fancy death yacht. The rebel you tried to kill. Your real dad who is God must be laughing at you rn because who tf writes this shit.

The Jedi did not enslave the clones and are not intended to be interpreted as having led a slave army. Anakin Skywalker, however, enslaves an entire galaxy by starting with the clones and is intended to be interpreted as a stone-cold selfish greedy fascist bitch who definitely leads a slave army more than once.

when a character who is usually very cold / tsundere / powerful / 'villainous' gets whumped to shit and their rivals, peers, and/or loved ones get to see how broken and damaged and vulnerable they are raaaaaaaaaa im chewing my keyboard

[moobrvoobl-moobmoob-oobmpoobroom]

I just find it mind-boggling that some people will reblog things like “Anakin didn’t care about Rex and his men, he wouldn’t listen to Fives just because he was friends with Palpatine” and then in the next post be gushing over Rexwalker/Rexanidala like???? so you agree. Anakin does care about Rex?

[phoenixwwitch]

hello again star wars nerds i have a realization as a horror fan and also a fan of star wars. darth vader was frankenstein’s monster- a creature that depended on its creator for life and understanding and will and a creature that didn’t understand its existence. palpatine was victor frankenstein who made darth vader as his creature- his attack dog to carry out his mission of destroying the jedi

[tennessoui]

just read the tasks of the previous ask about healer anakin and omg teen obiwan nearly getting shipped off :( feel like anakin would be upset about it and vokara che would never hear the end of it till Obi finally gets a master

dudeeeeeeee can you imagine like. baby healer in training anakin hears obi-wan is about to be shipped off to the AgriCorps like day of his flight out and he runs allll the way there from the secluded healer padawan quarters, blindfold in place because his master has fixed it so he can’t move it at all, and it’s the very first time he’s ever managed to navigate a strange environment just relying on the Force to tell him where to go but he can’t even appreciate or realize this for the accomplishment it is because kenobi is leaving and they haven’t spoken in months bordering on years but he’s leaving???

but he doesn’t get there in time :( and obi-wan boards the transit ship out :( and through various plot mechanisms and twists of fate, anakin doesn’t hear or feel obi-wan for years—he doesn’t know he’s come back and gotten a master, doesn’t know his master died, doesn’t even know he’s been Knighted until he himself is a fully fledged and mature Jedi Healer and he hears about General Kenobi and the 212th for the first time.

I did not just see Star Wars Culture twitter actually put Miraj Scintel, the queen of a literal slave empire, in an edit celebrating women of star wars, holy shit.

After Chancellor Palpatine takes young Anakin out into a bar on the lower levels of Coruscant and shows him the slavery happening right under the nose of the Jedi Council, Anakin's trust in the Jedi and his own Master is shaken and he decides to take matters into his own hands. the Jedi and the Senate are both clearly useless.

But things are not as they seem and Obi-Wan and Anakin soon learn that it takes more to overcome your past than a few meditation hours and some tinkering.

[catboydogma]

idk considering that coruscant/gar = us (military) and the deep and bloody history the us has of state-sponsored civilian massacres in oversea wars (cough, invasion/occupation) in-universe we should probably be grateful that the ppl leading the gar are pacifists who value life and growth over, like, empire-building and capital

If you don't write Ben as trembling, shaking, tripping over himself, stumbling to his knees for Rey I don't think you actually understand the character as he was in that moment

Rey could have ended that war by taking his hand tbh. If she had taken his hand she absolutely could have convinced him to do anything in that moment. He just killed his master, the man who had been in his head for 30 years, manipulating and destroying him from the inside out. He had no sense of personal identity, just a loose sense of morals and ideals and his obsession with her. She fully controlled him.

Obviously she did what she thought she had to do but I'm only observing. She wanted the death and fighting to stop. I do think if she had taken his hand she could have convinced him. He wanted to bring about peace and balance like his grandfather, he just didn't have all the right tools, like, rey's goodness and a different perspective.

I finished the final of clone wars and I think it altered by brain chemistry

Rex girlies stay losing
