#attack of the clone

[degradingnostalgia]

Then the rumours started. There was a new leader of the Empire alongside Darth Sidious. He was as strong, as violent and as calculating as the Emperor. But far more unstable and uninhibited.

He was efficient and brutal, and thrived in the chaos. He was Sidious' Apprentice, protector and vicious attack dog. He was strong with the Force, wielding a red lightsaber and black Jedi cloak, single handedly winning battles that 600 Stormtroopers struggled to take part in. He was the most effective war General anyone had ever seen, being able to implement strategies learnt from the Republic, the Separatists and the infinite number of complex battles during The Clone Wars.

He was the best pilot in the Galaxy, engaging in illegal races and tournaments for fun, always winning and often leaving no survivors in his wake. He was impulsive, feral and controlling, barely under the thumb of the Emperor, who allowed him freedom just enough to be able to pull him in line when it mattered for his Galaxy. Every time Obi-Wan heard another of these rumours he added it to the mental image of Darth Vader he was collating.

It had to be Anakin, there was no other person in the Galaxy who could be all of these powerful ideals at once and still be under the control of an Emperor .

Only Anakin would allow himself to be enslaved to another, by willingly handing the end of his leash to a monster like Sidious.

Only Anakin would be so unstable that he needed to be commanded in order to let go.

What if we were both ignoring the weight of our respective duties to sit in a field, pick grass, and be children once more without the burden of responsibility placed upon us
