god you're so right about how messed up the obi-wan/anakin/ahsoka dynamic is. it's like: your dad had you way too young, never forgot it and never let you forget it, and the moment you've achieved some independence he has another kid.

and like. you know that this kid is going to have to be your baby, because your father is not qualified to raise her, so it falls to 19-20 yr old you to keep this child alive. anakin is the true teen mom of star wars, tbh

RIGHT!!!! RIGHT!!!! like it’s that. it’s not that but emotionally it is that!!!! and it’s sooo fucked in ways that feel under-acknowledged cuz the show itself is like “but it’s fine! look how well these three get on” but also i don’t care what the show says (except when it’s good in which case i do care. i care So Much). i’m gonna talk about how it’s fucked!! and like, in general it’s the kind of a recipe for extreme tension and resentment and anakin not letting ahsoka be subject to any of that is maybe one of the acts that got him into force heaven two decades later, because anakin grew up being silently resented by obi-wan a bit (in some ways A Lot) and like you can talk about the cycles of it all but that is a very important aspect of it that anakin ensured he did Not continue! but like goddd you cannot tell me there was no resentment towards obi-wan about it all that nagged at him, especially since obi-wan likes ahsoka so much, and frankly obi-wan and anakin are a classic case of parent and child who simply would not like each other if they met as unrelated individuals, and boy oh boy is that a miserable thing to be. and i think it’s unrealistic that all this weirdness just evaded ahsoka too so i’m sure she has her own complexes. being an unwanted child whose custody got passed off bc your religious order decided to use you as a character-building tool (did she ever find out about this. if she ever found out about this it’d be crazy. i like to think she did) is never smooth sailing even your not-teen brother-mom loves you so so much and actually expresses it (UNLIKE SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW).

and anakin really IS the teen mom lol, and i find that funny both bc he’s much closer to an Actual teen mom age wise while obi-wan (designated teen mom by fandom including me bc he acts like one) was fucking 25, and bc anakin was the MORE SUCCESSFUL ONE. like not only was he given a padawan when he was 5-6 years younger than obi-wan was on the frontlines of a WAR he also got over the whole not wanting her thing like super duper fast and despite being the most insane woman alive he actually did a pretty good job and ahsoka ended up being really well-adjusted forever (which is in part stupid bad writing but also i do think anakin gave her the best child soldier experience one could be given…also fucked to think about if you wanna chew on that). like i increasingly don’t care for tcw as the years go on but ahsoka and anakin’s dynamic will be close to my heart forever and ever and that is partially bc the circumstances are so deeply fucked

PREQUELS APPRECIATION WEEK — Favorite character: Obi-Wan Kenobi “Greatness was never his ambition. He wants only to perform whatever task he is given to the best of his ability. He has become the hero of the next generation of Padawans.”

I once saw a post on this fuck ass app that said Obi Wan was such a bad master who made it clear every moment he spent with anakin that he didn't want him. so much so that anakin felt compelled to take Ahsoka on to save her from Obi Wan. I wanted to tear my hair out. Y'all are such mischaracterising shits and as someone in fandom it's frustrating to see casuals (because I found the post again and realised it wasn't a casual, just an anidala obsessor who watched with their eyes closed) other fans who are supposed to know better saying such nonsense

Hello there

Obi-Wan commission

Commission sheet

[rabidly-writing-rabidly]

Y'all are so fucking sensitive it's not funny anymore. You do know it's not one person who writes, directs and casts the whole show, right? Even if they realised that it could be taken badly, did you expect them to rewrite that whole scene and the underlying message because the Imperial happened to be a Jew? Please get over yourself.

Okay. So. The casual antisemitism in Ahsoka, since y'all asked. Spoilers below:

Casting Peter Jacobson, best known for playing Dr. Chris Taub (a Jewish doctor) on House, Ezra Goldman (a Jewish lawyer!) on Ray Donovan, and a rabbi in Fear the Walking Dead, as Myn Weaver, an Imperial sellout, is bad enough.

It's bad enough when he says "I'm a businessman. My loyalty is to my investors."

But then we have this exchange when he and his cohort are caught:

Hera: How can they still be loyal to the empire? [The camera cuts to an extended cut of Myn Weaver being loaded onto a ship in handcuffs. He looks aside and back at Ahsoka and Hera, shifty/guilty.] Ahsoka: It's not loyalty. It's greed.

Did you catch that? They cast a Jewish actor who is pretty much only ever cast to play Jews, and attributed his betrayal of the New Republic not to misplaced loyalty, but to greed.

Nice, right? Very cool.

Obi-Wan wears like 53 layer of robes so everyone assumes he’s kinda soft especially compared to his ‘in the prime of his youth’ former Padawan but then one day he goes shirtless to spar and he’s shredded, he has an 8 pack. Clones and Jedi alike are choking on drinks and tripping into walls. Ahsoka is covering her eyes and screaming because that’s basically her grandpa. Anakin has to throw a robe over Obi-Wan like The Birth of Venus.
