#i always kinda thought that since she wasn't a tatooine native and didn't understand they were sentient maybe?

[ooops-i-arted]

i feel like ppl need to get it through their thick skulls that not every rule is unnecessary. Some Rules Are There For A Reason And Are Good Actually! in society! ESPECIALLY if you’re a space warrior monk with a powerful Force at your fingertips and a fucking laser sword that can cut through practically anything!

YES, USE CAUTION AND RESTRAINT. BE MINDFUL OF YOUR EMOTIONS. but they see someone like dumbass anakin doing the awful shit he does and go “yeah stick it to the oppressive man!” or “pwoor bwaby” like no? They’re Right!

he just wants to do whatever and break the Code without consequences? bc he’s selfish and greedy and impulsive and doesn’t care abt what the Order believes in? also he’s not a baby? he should know better by now. like luke didn’t get raised as a jedi from a toddler age either but he still got the right gist of it! hell, anakin was trained from 9 to adulthood and he still couldn’t get it/didn’t want to apply it to himself.

let’s not let mr. unstable “i’ll try to have my cake and eat it too. surely nothing horribly unfortunate is going to happen by me doing this” slide. mr. unable to let things Be. mr. darth vader himself! i know ppl are getting dumber and crueler by the day on and off here but c’mon.

I've said it before but there's a method to the madness here. I have seen kids have major epic tantrums and I have worked with kids who have hurt me and would hurt me with their mind if they could. There's a reason for the rules. Remember Grogu choking out Cara over a friendly arm wrestling match because he misunderstood the intentions?

Also Jedi are supposed to be diplomats and stuff and need to maintain a neutral viewpoint just like, as part of their job. Imagine if Anakin got sent to negotiate a dispute between Naboo and another planet. You think he wouldn't favor Naboo the entire time just because it's Padme's planet? He 100% would. Selfish/possessive love for Padme would absolutely overrule compassion for all involved. That's exactly what happened in canon, really. Do you think Padme would be okay with Anakin killing younglings if he said "It's okay, I did it to save you"? No!!
