Trying to argue that Padmé’s unwavering faith in Anakin is just the story’s way to default on her character because she didn’t hate Anakin for the Tusken Raider massacre, otherwise the story doesn’t care for her “agency” in that way is actually a stupid take I’d block anyone over.

#lotus flower #ramblings #mini vent #padmé believing in anakin’s goodness is vindicated by the narrative #it’s set up there for a reason #luke is proof that she was right #we’re almost done with 2024 and people are still insisting padmé isn’t important to star wars plus anakin/vader’s story arc #her sympathizing with anakin for killing a group of people who murdered and tortured his mom isn’t as bad as y’all think #you can’t go comparing that to anakin’s mental decline in rots where he’s become corrupted by power and as he’s killing innocents #padmé can understand taking severe actions in the name of love #which is what anakin did for his mother and for her in rots #that’s why she’s able to look past it #but the moment it became about *power* that’s when she lost heart #it’s essential to understand padmé’s character as well before you spout crap like this lol
