its the dreams about Padmé that bother you the most. And the hiding it, the deception feels so wrong. You love Padmé more than everything. More than the Jedi.

But still, you do love the Jedi. You dont fully understand why they forbid love, but you go along because they are your family (even if you know they dont love you the same)

But Padmé, your Padmé; strong, fragile, determined, beautiful, gentle Padmé. You would do anything for her. You would kill for her. Hiding your love is eating away at you, gnawing at your very bones, because all you truly desire is for the entire galaxy to know how in love you are. And it eats and eats and eats and eats at you. Mostly, no, especially in your dreams, you hide her. to protect her. to save her from yourself. Because you have been cursed to love someone enough to die for them, and deep down, you know you will.

SITH! OBI-WAN & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS BY ME. I always liked the idea of Obi-Wan corrupted by the dark side, so i made this. Star Wars really needs a what if show.

It's like angel and demon on her shoulders, but they are her birth parents.

How easy it is to do terrible things once you have died. When everything has changed and decayed, and its your own doing. Guilt would eat you alive, so it's very convenient you have died.

You had a choice, and you were so selfish. you thought it was selfless at the time, to stand up against what you were raised in to save the life of your love, to save the fate of the galaxy! This is your purpose, and finally, someone shows you what you must do. And you know what you must do, but it hurts so terribly. Does it hurt more than the loss you have experienced? The isolation and loneliness? Or is it familiar and seductive? You are so tired and fall in quickly and don't try to fight your way out as the dark envelops you.

You hadn't slept much for weeks, losing sleep and gaining stress every night. How easily you were manipulated then! The years of war and turmoil and secrets weighing on your soul, making you question everything. Nobody to turn to, nobody hears you and you dont know how to say what you want to say.

How often you were questioned, harassed, scrutinized, by your own "people". Whether you belonged, whether you did too much, whether you were too dangerous. How the secrets weigh heavy on your soul.

To walk into the temple with your light sword drawn was a terrible thing, but with each step you crush a thing called conscience a bit underfoot until it dies. The last things you feel are horror and disgust as you do the horrible deed you now know is your fate.

You die when you join the Jedi, you die with Shmi. You die over and over again with Padme. You die during the clone wars.

You died with Windu. You died with the first youngling. You died when your Master struck you down. You died when you kneeled to your new Master, in that penthouse where you discovered his terrible secret and his seductive truth. You died and all that was left was hollow.

When padme died, when your children died, the hollow was filled with void. You become the void filling the suit. The suit is empty. You inhabit it, but it envelops you. This is who you are. This was your fate. You are now dead. You are now alive.

Anakin Skywalker, human being, has died. Long live Darth Vader, Lord and faithful servant of the Galactic Empire. This is what remains.
