#i love anakin skywalker

[mebearat]

What if I typed the entire dialogue of the mustafar scene from Star Wars ROTS by memory...nah that's cringe and a bit over the top-

Let her go Anakin. Let her go.

You turned her against me.

You have done that yourself.

You will not take her from me!

Your anger and lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind untill now, untill now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.

Don't lecture me Obiwan. I see through the lies of the Jedi, I do not fear the darkside like you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire.

Your new Empire?

Don't make me kill you.

Anakin my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!

If you're not with me then you're my enemy.

Only a sith deals in absolutes, I will do what I must.

You will try.

I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you.

I should've known the Jedi were plotting to take over.

Anakin Chancellor Palpatine is evil!

From my point of view the Jedi are evil!

Well then you are lost!

This is the end for you my master.

It's over Anakin I have the high ground.

You underestimate my power.

Don't try it.

You were the chosen one, it was said that you would destroy the sith not join them, bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness.

I hate you.

You were my brother Anakin, I loved you.

Whoops my hand slipped

I watch Star Wars for the plot

The plot

[jedi-starbird]

Palpatine: My boy, I'm afraid to report that Master Kenobi is very likely sleeping with your wife.

Anakin, who knows for a fact that Obi-Wan is sleeping with his Commander, a good chunk of Ghost company, the Organas and Quinlan Vos: ...where is he finding the fucking time???

Palpatine, oblivious: Oh I've heard from some very reliable sources that-

Anakin: *pulls out a spexcel spreadsheet, the 3rd System Army's shared spoogle calender and a calculator*

Anakin: Your Excellency. That's just. not logistically possible.

“He’s a villain! You only like him because he’s hot.”

Okay and?

[ahhrenata]

redraw of this ooooold piece

[grilledsquids]

delighted to listen to a nine year old discussing his thoughts on star wars. his dad’s been introducing him to the movies in release-date order, and they’re now halfway through The Force Awakens. here are his hot takes:

- best movie: phantom menace. qui gon and obi wan and yoda and anakin are all really cool.

- worst movie: return of the jedi. it took too long to save han solo; jabba is gross to look at and slave leia was weird to watch, ‘and they call it PG!’

- best characters: luke skywalker. anakin skywalker is second-best because he becomes darth vader. (this was very disappointing to discover)

- best villain: darth vader (even if he’s anakin). but dooku was also very good. palpatine is ugly.

- favorite jedi: yoda.

- biggest complaint: it would be better if anakin wasn’t darth vader. and, why did they kill padme? she would be a better vader. they should bring back anakin for the new movies. no, not as a ghost, just bring him back.

Hayden came up with a move when we did the second film that was like your move, like signature […] for me it always felt like your move because he was really good at it. — Ewan McGregor

[faint-taste-of-almonds]

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

[galactic-rhea]

Well, she isn't wrong,,,,,

Star Wars dialogue! I bet you were expecting something serious, sorry to disappoint nkjdsfnlkdfjsnsdf, anyways this is a really messy one, it's silly!

Listen here, Commander Cunt.

[morgan-n-cheese-91]

old Obi-Wan is so funny to me because his sass and overall bitchiness is like the last thing he's got and I'm so proud it survived the great depression of his 40s.

[stealingpotatoes]

boy who's never seen a large body of water before + insane force abilities = a very tired obi-wan

(donation doodles! // tip jar)

[teddybarebones]

I LOVE any de-aged Obi-wan AUs specifically for the purpose of fixing the version of Obi-wan that Anakin has created in his mind.

Anakin seems to think of Obi-wan as this “perfect jedi” and Anakin believes that he’ll never be as “perfect” as Obi-wan is

But seeing Obi at (any) younger phase of his life would show Anakin just how wrong he is.

Initiate Obi-wan: uncontrolled visions/dreams, (a bit) hostile, ready to fight

11y/o Obi-wan: unwanted by jedi masters, sent to AgriCorps, kidnapped and sold into slavery, absolutely zero self-preservation skills

13y/o Obi-wan: LEFT THE JEDI in order to do what he feels is right

14+y/o Obi-wan: low self-esteem, sarcastic, desperate for affection, very judgmental, always feels like a failure

…it would blow Anakin’s mind to see his master like that
