There´s something interesting to be said about Anakin being seen as someone you can sneak with around from formal authorities, like a fun older brother or uncle, be it because he wants to do a favor for you, like looking for a loved one like Ahsoka did when she asked him to take more time to locate Master Plo, because he wanted to free someone on Tatooine that didn´t have their slave chip yet, because he wanted to teach them how to defend themselves, because he wanted to help them fight a planetary invasion or because it´s part of a plan for his troops or because it´s fun, you want to sneak behind authority? your man is Anakin and even Master Yoda knew this and once asked Anakin to do this for him.

But then you have Vader and he is the complete opposite, he represents the most oppresive kind of authority the galaxy has seen of late, an authority so harsh and inevitable it can destroy entire planets with impunity and extend itself to the unknown regions and beyond, it´s Vader´s job to keep things in Order on the Empire, it´s his job to fight or interrogate or execute the rebels or the mafia or other imperials but everybody knows he is completely subjected to the Emperor, he obeys him and only him there´s no sneaking around or fun anymore in his life. Vader can´t even try to hide his own Son from The Emperor even if that´s precisely what he wants to do. Yet knowing Luke´s mere existence represents a danger to the Emperor, he starts "thinking about it" thinking the same way Anakin used to, why should I give up my Son to my master, doesn´t my Son deserve to be free? Why should my choices affect my Son´s life? It may be too late for me but isn´t my Son worth an exception? Isnt my Son worth any sacrifice I may have to do on his behalf? so he starts "sneaking around" the Emperor and that´s how "Anakin" comes back and the end of the Empire begins.

It´s like poetry, it rhymes.

baby anakin, on naboo, first down time in what feels like forever. qui-gon is dead, padmé is queen, he's never going back to tatooine, he can't see his mom. it's just him and obi-wan in their temporary rooms on naboo after the parade. the sky goes dark, and a strange noise fills the air. it's a pattering sound, like claws on marble. he looks outside and there's water... falling from the sky.

"don't cry, ani," his mom used to say, "don't waste the water, akku. save it, for survival. be strong."

but now, miles away from tatooine, anakin rushes outside to stand in the rain, the beautiful gift of water, barely noticing when obi-wan follows him outside. he turns to his new jedi master and says, crying openly, "there's so much water now. i can waste this little bit on not being strong. i miss her."

We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of the death of Jonathan Joss—beloved actor, artist, and gay icon—who was fatally shot on June 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. He was 59 years old. Authorities are investigating the possibility of a hate crime.

Jonathan, of Comanche and White Mountain Apache heritage, rose to fame as the voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill and appeared in acclaimed films such as The Magnificent Seven and True Grit. Beyond his screen work, he was a tireless advocate for Native sovereignty, queer visibility, and authentic representation.

In recent years, Jonathan came out publicly as a gay man and remained fiercely proud of both his Indigenous and queer identities. He is survived by his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, with whom he shared a life rooted in love, art, and community.

Jonathan’s legacy is one of courage, truth, and unapologetic presence. His impact on two-spirit and LGBTQ+ Indigenous youth—and on all of us who saw ourselves in his work—cannot be overstated.

We mourn his loss. We honor his voice. We demand justice. Rest in power, Jonathan Joss. You are remembered. You are loved.

Okay, so. Star Wars has all these concepts that weirdo New Left boomer George Lucas tosses in there but because of storyteller limitations it would kill the plot to fully explain them all, so later writers have to come in for the spin-off materials and bat clean-up to fully explain all this crazy crap. And I would like to talk about something that made me actively angry at first, but which I now adore. And that is the Naboo.

So much about Naboo culture is infuriating from a logical standpoint. They have a queen, okay. A constitutionally elected queen? Weird, okay. Don't know why they'd do that but... She's FOURTEEN? Excuse me? Is it a ceremonial thing or, oh no it's not? Legit head of state? Why does she dress like that? Why does she talk like that? I'm so tired.

Here's the explainer. Let me go cook.

There's this joke in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy where the last living human goes back in time and finds out humans aren't actually from Earth, but an alien culture that tricked all the middle managers, pedantic weirdos, and other infuriating folk into getting in a space arc which they gave the wrong evacuation coordinates to simply get rid of them. The Naboo are like this but they're all artists and poets and hippies, but like classy ones. They fled their home planet during a war and crash landed on Naboo, then did a colonism to the Gungans because, hey, they were fleeing a war and it was do or die. This spiritual rot in their creation story is later rectified by Padmé. But it's super important to their cultural psychology. They're hippies, but will subjugate if needed. They are "peaceful" but I guarantee you every single one of them has a tiny extremely shiny pistol up their sleeve and they will draw down on you if backed against a wall.

The scene that I think says it all is at the end of Phantom Menace when Padmé is surrounded by Nute Gunray and his droids, they've got her dead to rights, but Sabé her double creates a distraction so the queen can make it to her throne. This one piece of furniture is the Naboo in a nutshell. It's richly carved with artistic details, it has two seats to the side so the queen's handmaidens can read the lips of people in the back of the room and use hand signals to communicate with the queen while she can remain focused mostly on who is speaking to her. It is hundreds of years old. And it has a secret compartment in the armrest that is FULL OF GUNS. Layers of artistic opulence hiding their true intentions.

The Naboo were created to be backwards compatible with Princess Leia. They're compassionate pacifists, but they will shot you if needed.

Why do they elect teenage royalty? It's a little creepy. It's giving "age of consent is emotional maturity". It makes no sense.

The explanation they give outsiders is they want youthful idealism untainted by cynicism. What they don't tell you is that they take kids with stated interest in politics and put them in an advanced highly competitive Leadership Academy which is like Model UN mixed with Battle Royale. Well, they don't kill each other but it's intense. It's like what the clones went though just all diplomacy training and tea ceremonies all the time. Which is crazy but so Naboo.

Oh, and all the delegates for the royalty election run using pseudonyms for security. Imagine voting for the head of state but you can't run a background check. It's so crazy.

Why does Padmé dress like that? Well, fashion is one of Naboo's major industries so it's like she's wearing the entire Fall line catalog at once. To advertise not only the talent of her people, but to show how much they favor her. BUT that dress has multiple layers of padding and resin armor. And aforementioned spots for those little silver blasters. And it breaks up her silhouette making her harder to shoot. And it's so elaborate you pay more attention to the crazy dress and not if the person wearing it is really the queen or a decoy. Everything about Naboo is like this.

Queen Amidala has that weird accent while Padmé does not. Because all her handmaidens helped create the accent together so they all can imitate it. It's like if you gave girls at a rowdy sleepover the job of federal counterintelligence. That's what they came up with.

The handmaidens wear colorful identical clothes so you can't tell them apart, hoods to partially conceal their identity, and they don't wear the queen's fancy makeup. So one of them can be the queen and spy on people in the audience. Because the Naboo don't trust shit for shit.

Their public face is so silly to hide all the truly weird shit they do behind the scenes.

They use their reputation as artist hippies to conceal multiple layers of subterfuge and disguise their methods of self defense and assuage their paranoia due to wartime trauma and their disturbing colonial past. All of them are completely off their rocker even by Star Wars standards. And I love them so much. They put on a show so everyone thinks they have them figured out but what they have going on is far more weirder and more sinister than meets the eye. You know how catty, neurotic, and competitive art school students stereotypically are? Yeah, planet art student. Love them!

There you go, @charmwasjess

Every time I watch the movies, I am hit over and over again with how much Luke and Leia look and act like their parents. Luke has Anakin's smile, Leia has Padmé's stubborn glare. They share little mannerisms that I notice on occasion and it kills me.

Luke and Leia are their parents' children and they'll never even know.

They made you into a weapon, they groomed you into an attack dog, and taught you how to kill. Then they act surprised that one day you snap and attack the people who made you.
