canon? found dead in a ditch far, far away

i bumped it with my x-wing

[oifaaa]

"Why would Padme choose Anakin when Obi-wan was right there" Shut Up Maybe the fact that Padme did choose Anakin and agreed to marry him after a week should tell you a wee bit more about what type of person Padme is

[rochenn]

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)

[auxxrat]

so sick and tired of the “jedi are an evil and abusive cult that steals children” as if half the reason they weren’t protecting these children is bc sith were out killing them or TURNING THEM INTO SITH. they weren’t even STEALING children to begin with I thought we all knew that was Palpatine’s game not Yoda’s.

Downtime with the disaster lineage

I think that the entire Jedi Council knew about Anakin's relationship with Padmé.

Obi-Wan knew the most, he didn't have a single doubt in his mind that Anakin and Padmé were together. He knew they were in love. He probably didn't suspect that they'd actually gotten married (he knows Anakin’s crazy, but that would just be utterly ridiculous…right?) but he absolutely knew they were in a relationship that acted like a marriage. And he stayed quiet because, let’s be honest, Obi-Wan shipped Anidala.

I think the rest of the Council knew Anakin and Padmé were in some kind of romantic relationship (how could they not) but they also looked the other way because Anakin is Anakin. He's the Chosen One, and honestly he's loved by so many Jedi including Master Yoda.

Also, pretty much every Jedi also loves (or at least respects) Senator Amidala, so I think while they all slightly disapprove, they're also not completely unhappy about Anakin's relationship with her.

I think, had Anakin helped Mace Windu kill Darth Sidious, the Jedi Council would have made him a Jedi Master and allowed him to be publicly married to Padmé.

The Jedi have done this before, with Revan- a Jedi of the Old Republic who turned to the Dark Side, then returned to the Light. They allowed him to remain a Jedi while also being publicly married to another Jedi, Bastila Shan.

Star Wars; Anakin Skywalker. 🖤

[strawberriesforcait]

Padmé has top tier self control in ROTS I would have fucked this man every day of my LIFE there would be no "not here"

[lieutenant-teach]

People who believe that Luke was the Chosen One.

People who believe the Jedi weren’t allowed to feel, and the Sith were feeling too much. 

These are fanons.

It’s not canonical.

It’s not true.

Please read what the author (George Lucas) actually said about it.

I’m just really tired of semi-knowing fans who spread this stupidity with a lot of conviction. Probably, some gatekeeping would actually help Star Wars.

Anakin Skywalker. Revenge of the Sith (2005).

[evilminji]

I just realized something REALLY obvious?

That frankly? Should have occurred to me sooner.

The Star Wars Chosen One Prophecy!

.......name your local prophecies for me real quick. Closest religious order. Heck, YOUR religious order. Any of um.

How many do you KNOW? Remember the EXACT wording of? Even the "no really guys, this is SUPER IMPORTANT" Types. I don't no any. Most folks don't! At best? You Remember the general jist of it. Cliff notes. Not those tricky, damning, details... like the Exact Wording.

Also!!!

Pretty FUCKIN Human-centric? To just? ASSUME the Chosen One? Is gonna be a humanoid? It SPECIFICALLY did say? "Born to no father" RIGHT???

Wouldn't it, therefore, make SENSE? To start watching species that DON'T HAVE MALES?? Or be in the look out for a lesbian couple created kid, where one of them is trans? Heck, might be cloning! Chosen One could have been a Vode!

Prophecies are fucky like that!

Frankly? Tell me how Baby Yoda's get made. Are there Fathers THERE? Hmmmm? Grogu might be the Chosen One! We don't know! Can't know! There are BILLIONS of Father-less entities! And frankly? We don't even know how good that Seer WAS! Or the exact age when the vision occured!

We all know DAMN WELL, the just by KNOWING the future, you may change it. How many actions were or WEREN'T taken because of that prophecy? How has that rippled across time? Changed the future they saw? Because they spoke of it. Recorded it. Let it weigh heavy on the minds of Jedi for generations to come?

Maybe Anakin Skywalker WOULD have been the Chosen One. WOULD have brought balance. Been everything good and bright and wonderful, just as they saw it.

If they had kept their damn mouth shut.

But they didn't, did they? And they set the stage for a Sith Tragedy instead. A shattering of the Order. The deaths of countless. It became the very thing the Jedi are warned against. Taught to be worry off. Yet we're blinded too in their own house.

They became attached to it. Fearful of it. Obsessed over it. Hated it.

That one prophecy? Became a focal point of Sithly poison inside their hearts.

They should have Let It Go.

[aj-artjunkyard]

Want so badly for any full-potential Anakins to be the same size as Vader, if not bigger.

Obsessed with the idea that he just keeps growing, that by the time he’s in his late twenties he’s over seven foot tall.

Full-potential Anakin being the size of the Mortis gods and having the same distinct aura of other, so much so that they have to scratch out the ‘human’ in his med-file (they were never fully sure of that one anyways)

[mollysunder]

If The Acolyte had gotten a second season, I feel like they would have revealed that the soul Mae and Osha share will become Anakin's after their story reached its planned conclusion.

It can't be an accident that Mae and Osha were so similar to Anakin, but just a little off because they were born wrong. Osha's struggle with autonomy and self-worth, paired with Mae's unhealthy attachment issues feel like pieces Anakin.

Sure it could be coincidence, or even the writers playing with previous dynamics, but they kept hitting us over the head that Osha and Mae were raised to believe that they SHOULD be one person. That they were born of the Force, but were born wrong because their existence was not of the Force's will. And the only way they for them to be right is to be one, but to truly be one they should have been born by the Force's will, and the only one who fits that description is Anakin!

The show was probably going to conclude at their deaths in a way that harkens Anakin's birth.

[bibxrbie]

"Between Anakin and Luke who is the better Jedi?"

"Who's the strongest?"

Blah blah blah.

Every single person who thinks it is Anakin is wrong because Anakin "coolest thing about me is my kids" Skywalker would beat you up for thinking that his son isn't the greatest thing of all time.

[incorrect-jedi]

Ezra: You can’t beat us! We have something even more powerful than the force!

Darth Vader: And what might that be?

Ezra: It’s the power...of updog.

Cal: Oh my god oh my god oh my god-

Vader: What is...updog?

Cal: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD-
