Does this mean that Star Wars was trying to warn us about what is to come?

I’m so sorry we didn’t learn, George.

In my head, Vader relives every single moment he ever had with Padmé over and over again. Partly for comfort, partly because he misses her, but mostly to torture himself.

I wonder, if in all his remembrances, he thinks of how Palpatine admitted he knew of their marriage (Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover), and yet he still sent Padmé on a mission to basically seduce Rush Clovis.

And I wonder if it ever crosses Vader's mind that Palpatine did this just to drive a wedge between them. That Palpatine tried to get between him and his wife.

I wonder if he ever thinks about how many times Dooku tried to have Padmé assassinated, but Dooku was just taking orders from Palpatine.

I wonder if he thinks about every risky mission Palpatine sent Padmé on, missions where she got captured or badly hurt.

Vader is not stupid.

You know he thinks about these things.

You know he hates Palpatine for all of this, and so much more.

And yet, Vader stays by Palpatine's side.

Not because he believes Palpatine is his friend. Not even because he believes Palpatine will help him become more powerful, though he definitely tells himself this lie.

Vader stays because Palpatine is the only one who accepts him. If Vader left, where would he go? What purpose would he have? He would have to go live out his life completely alone and isolated, and he would be forced to confront all the grief and the horror he caused.

Nobody loves Vader, nobody ever could.

He hates himself.

Because he was the Chosen One, who couldn't save his mother, who couldn't save Ahsoka, who couldn't save his wife, who couldn't save his unborn child.

And this existence, of being used and made to do all these terrible things, is what he deserves.

STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH & ARCANE S02E03

[lubean-skywalker]

Me encanta que Anakin sepa dibujar ✨

What I love about these is that they show off Anakin’s talent to draw which often doesn’t get recognition. I remember in the clone wars episode “Trespass” where Anakin picked up a rock to draw for the natives an illustration of their intentions and it triggered my memory that Anakin was, and still is, a skilled artist, and how I’ve always loved that quality about him because I can relate to it.

These are excerpts from the book: Anakin Skywalker: A Jedi’s Journal

Something about characters who ascend in the eyes of the people in some manner, and their lover who is the only one who still sees their humanity, and the god who loves them for it

I was gonna make a poll about what the Skywalker Twins called Captain Rex as Littluns - “Captain Uncle Rex” or “Uncle Captain Rex” - and realized it’d be so much funnier if one twin picked Option A and the other chose Option B and it just became an all out FIGHT where the twins ended not speaking to each other for a week. Anakin is so Lost and Devastated that his Babies are fighting; I can just hear him crying to Padmè at night about it when the twins are asleep (in their own rooms, Angel! They’ve never slept in different rooms before!)

Padmè on the other hand is just riding this wave like any sane parent who is NOT an Only Child would. You just gotta pick and choose your battles Ani.

Obi-Wan is very amused by this whole situation. Cody and the rest of the CC batch are losing their minds (laughing). Rex is miserable and Trying His Best to diffuse the situation. Ahsoka is antagonizing 24/7 and showing no mercy.

Anyho, here’s the poll:

Honestly is it even love if you're not willing to commit mass murder for them? Come on guys. Where's your sense of romance?

Here's my top 5:

Anakin and Padmé (Star Wars)

Paul and Chani (Dune)

Christine and The Phantom (Erik) (Phantom of the Opera- yeah fuck you Raul)

The Doctor and The Master (Doctor Who)

Daemon and Rhaenyra (House of the Dragon)

** I realize some people will take my "mass murder" comment seriously, so this is my disclaimer that I'm actually joking because apparently that's necessary. **

I know Anakin's desilusions of grandiosity are the talk of the town, but something something Padmé dehumanization of herself as a result of so much survivor trauma and so many close death calls. She's the senator with the highest murder attempts on her, she gets assesination attempts weekly and brushes them off, and she keeps chasing for justice to the point of collition, she sees people dying around her all the time but she keeps on living and living, at some point she's flirting with death as much as Anakin does in the battlefield. And something something, Anakin, ironically, in his extreme trauma and fear of death taking the people he loves, being the only one to say "You're a person, and your name is Padmé, not queen nor senator, and you're as fragile as any other live being" Something something the irony that person that most adored her being also the one who saw her as a person Something something Anakin commiting atrocities not for a goddess, no for a politician no for royalty, for a person. Something something how contrarian it is, that Anakin sees himself as a weapon, and Padmé's extreme guilt becoming what seems like superiority.

And particularly here in this comic something something how easily Anakin can walk through that storm Padme has created, how easily he can enter into her headspace and she doesn't flinch, doesn't blink, she isn't even surprised because she expects him and he's the only one that knows and can reach her like this, they're just having a conversation, something something.

Something.

I swear this was the end of me, so idc if i'm rambling, this comic kept me up awake for more than one day, because the power would go out every single time i sat to work on it, damnit

i need to sleep asap, and eat, eating first probably
