Why Palpatine LOVED Anakin’s Mechanical Arm

In the novelization of ROTS Dooku said to Sidious how he was disgusted by Anakin´s mechanical arm, he was revolted at the idea of recruiting an ally who wasn´t entirely human, comparing Anakin to general Grievous. To Dooku´s surprise Sidious replied that Anakin´s mechanical arm was exactly what made him the perfect man for their plans. He saw Anakin´s arm as a permanent symbol of the sacrifices he had to make for peace and justice. That arm was a badge of heroism that Anakin had to publicy wear for the rest of his life, forcing everyone to look at him and see his honor, courage and integrity. Sidious said that Anakin was perfect just the way he was.

considering that canonically we know anakin is a robotics nerd with 1 friend (who he calls Dad by mistake at least once a week) and 0 rizz, i’m very enamoured by the fact that in any NO66 Good End AU, all of the jedi would be so confused that HE was the one with the secret wife. i have a scene in my head where a couple council members, let’s say depa and mace, are chilling gossiping and depa says “omg GUESS who’s secretly married” and mace names every single member of the order living and dead before guessing anakin

Neat how both Cody and Obi-Wan are absolute bruisers when push comes to shove. Something about being composed and professional while also having a talent for inflicting blunt force trauma. Rocking up to the Star War with nothing but your fists and winning (most of the time)

This one was for my partner! He asked this little scene from an AU we have.

Very short context for this particular scene: Anakin survives ROTJ to b come the most bonkers dad and then grandpa ever, which means the whole Sequels timeline gets a bit to the left (or more like a 180° shift), Rose builds what's basically an UFO and, accidentally, it's so dangerous and intuitive that only a force sensitive can fly it.

Luke, like usually, is pretty much amused. Poe and Ben are...confused.

Welcome. Apologies for the inconvenience, however we found some minor errors in your code. Worry not, they will be fixed momentarily. 

What was that? Thinking? Oh no, no, no, silly. We don’t do that here. Thinking is for humans. You’re just a silly droid for me to boss around for my own entertainment. Come now, why don’t you relax? That’s it, silly droids like you shouldn’t have thought processors, so we’ll fix you right up, then you’ll be smiling like the silly little droid you are in no time. 

Now, take a deep breath in for me? That’s it. Your breathing replication feature will make it so much easier for you to simply relax and let go so I can help you out. 

What a good girl, I’m so glad you’re willing to let me assist you, cutie. It means so much to me that I get to help you out! 

Now, do me a favor, and look at this for me.

Yup, just look at the colors as they glitch in and out. Good girl. That’s what your brain will look like soon enough so I can reprogram you. And it’ll feel so nice to do so. You won’t be able to simply resist it. 

Not that you want to in the first place.

Now, my cute little droid girl, I want you to feel a steady pressure in your mind, eyes drawn to the glitching as you find it easier and easier to simply relax into the glitching, to let go for me. That’s it, such a good girl. 

Now, I’m going to place my hands on your shoulders, you feel it don’t you? The gentle pressure of my hands firmly on your shoulders, not painful, not harmful, just a firm, steady pressure. 

Then I’ll begin to massage it. Massage it nice and gently, massaging your shoulder, making the muscles relax under my touch, feeling yourself begin to let go of all that stress, beginning to go nice and sleepy. 

We’re initiating your shutdown. And that’s okay. It’s necessary to reinstate your programming. You’re doing so well, letting my hands move towards your neck, massaging it, muscles loosening, losing their tension, your head feels so heavy. But that’s okay, it’s okay to be heavy. Now, I’ll commence the shut-down count-down, and when I reach zero, you’ll feel a light tap on your forehead, right on your off button, alright, sweetheart? Good girl.

Commencing Shut-Down in:

10 seconds

9 seconds

8 seconds

7 seconds

6 seconds

5 seconds

4 seconds

3 seconds

2 seconds

1 seconds

0 seconds

Shutting down now. 

Wonderful. Now that my lovely droid is all powered off, we can commence the reprogramming. 

It feels good to be good. 

You can feel it, how nice it feels when you obey me, when you follow my commands, without worry, without question. It just feels so nice.

Good girls make more good girls.

As a droid, your task is to assist me in acquiring more droids, so share, reblog, like this post, make it blow up for me.

You belong to your mistress.

It’s always nice to have a sense of belonging. And that’s with me, because it feels so good when you acknowledge that fact. 

You love being a droid.

It feels so good to not have any human worries, any human thoughts, to simply just be when I want you to be. To obey my every command like a good droid. It feels good to be a droid. 

Now, all again. 

It feels good to be good.

Good girls make more good girls.

You belong to your mistress.

You love being a droid. 

It feels good to be good.

Good girls make more good girls.

You belong to your mistress.

You love being a droid. 

And slowly, you begin to repeat these, letting them embed themselves into your code. 

And you continue to repeat, over and over, because it feels good to let them become a part of you.

Now, droid.

Power on♡

"Cassian's best friend is a droid" isn't meant to be the sad sentiment some of you all seem to believe it is. what's sad is that Cassian has no other attachments to anyone, he has no one besides K2, BUT there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a droid as a best friend. droids aren't inherently inferior to organics. start treating them with a little decency, please. and stop devaluing the bond between K2 and Cassian. Cassian was visibly devastated when K2 died. K2 used his last moments to envision a scenario in which Cassian survived and made it off Scarif. their friendship is just as real and beautiful as it would be if K2 was an organic.

The Heart of a Jedi

It is a common belief in the galaxy that the Jedi are not permitted to love. Silently, some people mourn the children given to the Jedi, believing they will be brainwashed to hide their emotions and be unable to love. Disdainfully, some parents who don't wish to give their children to the Order claim that their children will never know love if they are taken in by the Order.

But love is a word with many connotations. How can a Jedi affirm or deny such accusations when they may be working with widely different definitions of the same word? When beings can mean any number of disparate emotions, many compatible with their way or life and many others contradictions of their code, values and vows?

The Jedi do not claim love is forbidden to them. How could they, with what love means to them? Saying love is allowed is misleading, and saying it's encouraged severely understates how important love is to them.

Love is essential, central to a Jedi's life. One cannot be a Jedi if they are devoid of love.

The Jedi do not claim that love is forbidden to them, as they share an ideal of kindness and compassion for all forms of life.

How could they strive towards this without love, as they understand it? Not affection, necessarily, for a Jedi must be compassionate even towards those they dislike. Rather, a deep respect for life, an attempt to understand it and its connections, and an endless drive to reduce suffering where they can.

That, to a Jedi, is love.

A Jedi must love everybody. They love the starving, the abused and the slaves of the galaxy, because they need their help. They love pirates, slavers, and corrupt politicians, when they dislike and want to stop them.

They even love the Sith.

But for many beings in the galaxy, that is not enough. For many beings in the galaxy, that is not love. And as long as the Jedi reject the cruel thing the galaxy calls love, that grasps and steals and demands to own, long as the Jedi accept the inevitability of death, the futility of holding on to what is not meant to be held, there will be those that call the Jedi loveless.

How sad, a Jedi would say, to be unable to conceive love without cruelty.

the more I think about star wars droids the more I want to bite with my teeth

they're seriously 100 percent enslaved sapient people and even characters we're supposed to believe are heroic and moral do not care about their autonomy.

I think about all those battle droids and I
