#brot reads rots novelization

[oflgtfol]

god damn fuck this guy like even despite everything, despite the 10+ years of grooming and manipulation, anakin still was so close to turning against palpatine when he revealed himself as a sith, and the main thing that actually pushes him over is how far he'd go to save padme. he'd rather trade everyone else's lives to save the life of one (1) person like man maybe i'm cold hearted and pragmatic but i swear to god anyone who sacrifices anyone else's life to save a single person is selfish beyond belief. i'm never gonna be in this situation but if somehow i ever am, i give all of my loved ones permission to let me die if it means saving even just like, two other people

THIS IS SICKENING. I ADORE IT

[oflgtfol]

bro you already mass murdered a whole village. you're already a war criminal

[oflgtfol]

screams

[oflgtfol]

unironically i adore second person i wish i saw more things with it bc i only ever see it used for fucking reader inserts. but things like these drive me nuts. the "you" here makes this hit so much harder. i love second person

[oflgtfol]

PALPATINE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW? ALL THIS FOR NAUGHT?

[oflgtfol]

god palptines manipualtion is so much worse here like the way he just completely steamrolls over everything anakin says has ME feeling overwhelmed and confused i cant imagine dealing with this for like 15 years

[oflgtfol]

oh jesus christ what a way to describe that

[oflgtfol]

gah I KNOW this is meant to be frustrating i know this is meant to be dramatic irony and i know hes been groomed from a young age but holy fuuuuuck dude. you refuse to apply this same logic to palpatine? he’s right fucking there 😭

[oflgtfol]

i know this is palps trying to manipulate anakin but this sucks so bad considering that grievous got taken down so easily in the movie 😭

[oflgtfol]

i know it is an uncommon opinion to actually enjoy the sw politics though. i go nuts for galactic politics. then again space civil engineering is one of my favorite things to ponder about star wars so maybe i truly am just an outlier

[oflgtfol]

i know this isnt an uncommon opinion i dont think but rots truly is my favorite sw movie of the main trilogies like. the politics. the relationship drama. it pisses me off so much but it’s also gleefully nauseating

[oflgtfol]

god not this again

[oflgtfol]

my heart is fucking racing rn reading the mon calamari ballet scene discussion

[oflgtfol]

like i do complain about anakin but vader is such a fun villain. i do enjoy him as vader. hes enjoyable as a villain bc yes he has a cool visual design and even at his most powerful he still has clear weaknesses like the glorified life support suit he lives in and the fact that hes subservient to the emperor and later on the fact he has a family he sorta cares about in his own.. unique way. so while he’s pretty fucking evil he still feels like a nuanced being with both strengths and weaknesses and clear motives behind what he does

but palptine its just like. what is the point. what even is his fucking motivation for doing anything. he does the most evil shit just for the laffs? the absolute giggles? did he have a family? has he ever genuinely cared for someone with no ulterior motives? what was he like as a kid? why is he fucking doing any of this? but no he just sits there cackling and shooting lightning out his fingers. fuck this guy

[oflgtfol]

palpatine isnt even a fun type of evil hes just evil in the most annoying fucking way possible
