#THAT'S LEIA'S FATHER

“ The Jedi Code meant something more real, more substantial,

than any set of rules I'd been taught by the house tutors.

I told myself that if I couldn't live by Jedi virtues myself

I would assemble my own set to be proud of. ”

Just learned that apparently in the EU Leia named one of her kids Anakin??? She Would Not Fucking Do That.

The thing with writing Fox as a father is that he needs to be just a little bit unwell about his child. Especially if the child in question is Leia. He needs to be just a little too devoted to her, particularly during the early years. He needs to have so much pent up baggage about everything leading up to the fall of the Republic and losing his own health in the process he needs to be putting somewhere. So, if he can just dedicate all of his energy and brainroom to tending this little helpless creature and ignore all of his own problems, then so be it.

ROTS AU where Padme is the one with nightmares and comes to the correct conclusion that it's because she's pregnant with a Force-sensitive baby. Now, having heard Anakin's Weird Parentage Backstory at one point or another, she comes up with a plan. she goes to the Jedi temple healers and announces that she's fairly certain she's pregnant with a Force-sensitive baby and needs a medical checkup. And when the inevitable questions about the identity of the baby daddy come up, she calmly tells them, "Well, that's the strangest part. There was no father."

Novel A New Hope Vader is my favourite Vader (so far) because he Is Anakin, he is everything Anakin is set up to be. He is intimidating, he is overwhelming, standing next to him feels like standing next to a black hole, he is-

The biggest little shit in the entire galaxy.

You canNOT convince me that he didn’t say half his lines with a shit-eating smirk. He is awful to be around, he is the worst person to ever exist, he is SO annoying.

And Novel Vader is so Anakin because the book can give us details the movie can’t. The book gives us the author’s choice of wording, the way the author intended the scenes to be, and Vader is such a little shit almost constantly but my FAVOURITE will always be when Tagge talks back to him about the Force, saying it isn’t as powerful or scary as he makes it out to be and Vader just-

“I find,” Vader ventured mildly, “this lack of faith to be disturbing.”

-the WORD CHOICE. The fucking WORDS chosen.

“Ventured”??? “Mildly”??? He is CHOKING this man!!! This man is DYING!! He is being such a little shit right now, this is it. This is the Him, this is Anakin Skywalker right here. He is using unnecessary force and being a bitch about it and there will never be anything that so perfectly encapsulates Anakin Skywalker than this fucking scene in this fucking novel.

On the topic and as a brief aside, the novel is what makes me think that Leia was planned to be Vader’s kid, or at least a narrative mirror to Vader, right from the start. She is also such an Anakin.

“Darth Vader… I should have known. Only you would be so bold— and so stupid.”

She just… also. Encapsulates Anakin. Like. Yeah. Yeah, this is what he could have been. He could have been a terrifying figure that people rallied behind. He is loyal to the death, as is Leia. She spits on Darth Vader while he’s having her dragged away. She mocks him to his face. This is the character that the Anakin Skywalker of future movies mimics. Her passion, her anger, her being a little shit and insisting throughout everything that it WAS a diplomatic vessel and they WERE on a diplomatic mission.

Leia is the first character to face down Vader in this novel and not show fear. She is the first character who refuses to submit in the face of the scariest guy in the galaxy. She continues to refuse to submit. She’s just. A great fucking liar.

Leia puts all her trust, her very life and the sake of the entire rebellion she’s fighting for, in a droid. An astromech droid. She begs for them to take the droid further, not for them to find her. She’s willing to die, and she trusts her death will not be in vain because she trusts a droid.

And that, if nothing else, is all the proof needed that Leia is what Anakin could have been.

As a fandom I think we got over this two too fast, cuz just look at them, live on my mind rent free, also look at Jimmy playing not only senator Bail Organa, but Princess Leia's dad, he has always been so happy to be in SW but this time he was SO THRILLED

is there anything so undoing as a daughter?

OMG, I was scrolling through Pinterest when I found a sketch that seemed perfect for Anakin and his children. So, I did a thing that's not normally my style, but I absolutely love how it turned out!

And guess what? You can use this one as a cute lock screen!

Below you guys can find the original sketch I was talking about ;))

Fox: Alright, let's see, who are at the top of our hitlist?

Leia: Palpatine, Skywalker, Tarkin

Fox: Okay, let me think. With Palpatine...we need to plan it very carefully. He's still the Chancellor, after all, so we need to get evidence of his wrongdoings before we do anything, so we don't blow everything up even more. I'm sure you already have ideas?

Leia: Absolutely I do

Fox: Good, good. With Skywalker...as much as I want to whack him on the head, he is still on our side, and maybe has some hope. Not our problem, though, sorry

Leia: Hmph. Disappointing, but I accept that

Fox: Thank you. Then, Tarkin.....

Fox: *thinks about it*

Fox: I think we get to kill him, Leili'ka

Leia: Fuck yeah

Thinking about how Obi-Wan was the first face Luke and Leia ever saw.

Happy Papa’s Day to THEM

I think that generally accepted fan headcanon that Leia would wish OW was her dad over Anakin or not understanding why Padmé fell for him instead of OW is unfunny and baseless. Mostly coping mechanisms for people who hate Anakin or severely project themselves inside or project something inside OW.
