did he call you brother? did it once ring true?

obi wan's line on mustafar "you have ALLOWED this dark lord to twist your mind" always gets on my nerves because no sir, you did. You allowed an old man to have meetings alone with a 9 year-old, away from the world he knew and eager to please and a child in your responsibility. people tend to forget that anakin was only groomed because obi wan did nothing.

anakin skywalker + The Spin

[bruynjallow]

In the Junior novel for ROTS, after the tragedy on Mustafar happens, and Anakin is now full Darth Vader. OW takes Padmé to Yoda and Bail, at the Medical center. Interesting take away here though, is how even OW mentions that Padmé should have been okay after Anakin released her from his grasp, but she was still out cold. He senses something else is happening with her and he essentially concludes it to her pregnancy.

(This is a clear indication/implication of her dying, not from Anakin actions, but because of something else.)

Later on, we get confirmation of this when one of the Medical droids affirm that physically, everything is fine, but somehow she’s still dying. OW once again, affirms his suspicions and admits that he knows why Padmé is losing the will to live. He sums it up perfectly by saying he knows it’s because “Anakin has broken her heart.”

Padmé died because her husband had become Vader, and she couldn’t live in a world without him. The heartbreak of his betrayal was unendurable for her that she’d rather die than see what he’s become. She loved him too much to watch him burn.

And she even says as much:

“Her last conscious thought was a feeling of relief. She would rather die here, now, than live and have to watch what her Anakin had become.”

(Patricia C. Wrede’s Episode III: Revenge of the Sith .)

✨ pain ✨

A callback to Padmé’s beloved Japor Snippet, she holds it up as if it were something “precious” (as OW states.) making it obvious just how important it was to her and how much Padmé cherished the gift Anakin had given her way back on Tatooine. She gives it to OW, and adamantly tells him that there is still good inside her husband. Inside the love of her life. One last time for Padmé to tell us how much she believed in Anakin, how she still trusted him and his good heart despite everything he did. Even OW knows it, to quote his dialogue in the above passage:

“she believed in Anakin until the end.”

#I’M CRYING YOU’RE CRYING WE’RE ALL CRYING

Anakin is such an interesting character not only because of the tragedy his life is, but also because who he is can change depending on the point of view of the person watching him

To Obi Wan, he's the little boy he raised, the one he failed to protect, his brother, his child, his life.

To Ahsoka, he's fun, he's smart, he's someone to look up to, he's her big brother, he's the one who made life bearable during the war, he's someone she wishes she could have gotten to fully know, he's a well crafted lie.

To Padmé, he's the caring man she loves and cherishes so much, he's the father of her children, he's light, he's the definition of betrayal, he's someone she should have raised their twins and died with.

To Palpatine, he's a tool, a weapon, someone to manipulate, his apprentice, the reason why his empire is no more.

To the Clones, he's their general, their friend, someone they could talk to, someone they could trust, someone who was kind and good to them, he's the one who did his best to cheer them up after a hard battle, he's the man who betrayed them.

To Luke, he's a legend, his father, someone he wishes he had gotten to know, he's a monster, he's someone who committed so many atrocities yet still had light in him, he's someone he trusted to come back, to save him.

To Leia, he's a monster, he's the horrible man who tortured her and forced her to watch as her home was being destroyed the same way he destroyed the ones of many others, he's a ghost, he's the one her son idolizes, he's someone she'll never forgive but never forget either.

It even happens in the fandom. There's people who think of him as arrogant, as selfish. There's people who think of him as misunderstood, as someone who deserved better. There's people who only remember him as the kind man he once was

It's almost poetic

Leia post in honor of Carrie Fisher’s passing which was 7 years ago today.

We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.
