okay okay okay.

So the truth about Anakin is that everything around him shapes him into who he is. That’s true of every person. His decisions are made based on what he thinks to be true, and what he thinks to be true is heavily influenced by Palpatine. And what isn’t influenced by Palps is directly manipulated into him. And he is likewise influenced by Obi-Wan and Padme and his past.

His choices and decisions, being based on all of these things, could easily have gone wholly different had his sphere of life been changed even in little ways. If he had talked less to Palps. If he had opened more to Obi-Wan. If Padme hadn’t been away for ten whole years. If his mother had been freed. If… well, you get the picture.

And that’s very interesting. Because, again. This is true for all of us. Little things truly do make us.

Anyway all this to say I want some small thing to change the whole story of Star Wars for a fun Anakin Is Not As Fucked Up (But Still Pretty Fucked) AU.

#I’m thinking it’s got to be RIGHT away when Anakin shows up #like. anything from shmi getting freed to live her own life on tatooine (Anakin no longer afraid for her safety)#or perhaps the issue of Anakin having been a slave mentioned to Obi-Wan more directly (he catches padmes words in passing and his attitude #shifts ever so slightly.)#or maybe obi-wan gets hurt in the duel (Anakin stays at his bedside. palpatine never says he will watch Anakins progress that day)#LITTLE THINGS #maybe disable obiwan. patience for Anakin learned thru necessity.#maybe padme shows up every once and a while. his longing isn’t overwhelming. it’s not rushed lust.#maybe obiwan and Anakin need a trip to Tattooine. he gets to see his mother. even if just across the sands in passing #while she never sees him #LITTLE!!! THINGS!!!#again Anakin makes his own choices but what if. a new universe where he shaped himself into new choices #I’m gonna slice obi-wans throat open maybe #anakin skywalker #Star Wars
