"anakin would've never turned to the dark side had qui gon lived." utter. bullshit. not only is this particular hot take an insult to obi-wan it completely robs anakin of his agency, because at the end of the day it was anakin's decision to pledge his loyalty to palpatine and to destroy everything that the people he loved held dear. that's what makes anakin skywalker such a compelling character, and as darth vader a tragic and iconic villian... because he did this to himself.

#star wars #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #qui gon jinn #meta #gzb #dave filoni #jedi order #darth vader #i always take anything feloni has to say about anakin with a pinch of salt since he retconned tcw!anakin to be “likeable”#anakin didn't need to be “likeable” he needed to be cringe and unhinged #hayden christensen understood the assignment #back to qui gon: i'm sorry but #qui gon's 1st padawan (xanatos) turned to the dark side #his 2nd padawan (obi-wan) was made to feel unwanted pretty much the whole time qui gon was his master #including that time qui gon stood before the council and told them *in front of obi-wan* that he wanted to train someone else #and feloni's out here claiming qui gon would've magically cured my boy's unhingedness??? hahaha nO #obi-wan kenobi was and always will be the best fit for anakin #and as for the sith lord-shaped elephant in the room? palpatine had been grooming anakin since he was 9 #he would've exploited the cracks in the master/padawan relationship no matter who anakin's master was
