Sorry for this long post but can people stop treating Vader and Anakin as completely separate people. Like. That type of dissociation were obviously coping mechanisms by Old Ben and Vader. Not like. A literal fragmentation of personalities. Like if you love Anakin Skywalker imo you have to accept that he was a cute kid and a padme simp and a fun older brother and a boy desperately in need of acknowledgement and praise and a father who ultimately loved his son but also a guy who commits atrocities in his anger and strangles people who annoy him and has a victim/persecution complex (although admittedly for good reason) and was also a notorious child killer. This man contains multitudes.

Imo falling to the dark side/using the light side of the force isn’t marked by a shift or fragmentation of personality, but rather what emotions are used to channel the force and guide one’s actions. I think part of what’s so hard about resisting the dark side and coming back to the light is that there’s positive feedback loops of power, and resisting that by doing good and healthily channeling emotions is just plain hard. Especially in the case of Anakin, who is notoriously a “in for a penny, in for a pound” type of guy. He’s loyal and loves completely and dangerously with his whole heart, and he hates just as much.

And I think guilt is a huge factor with him struggling to do good; it’s pretty much a thought process of “Well, I’ve already committed thousands of atrocities and have countless amounts of blood on my hands, I have to believe whole hog in what I’ve been doing because then otherwise what was it all for.” I think that’s what makes his sacrifice for Luke so poignant, because it speaks to how much he loves his son that he’s able to overcome that spiral and do one last act of love for his son, unselfishly and without rationalization.

Idk, I just watched ESB again, and I think beyond just wanting to possess Luke and use him for power, it’s reasonable to think that part of the reason Vader wants him so badly to turn to the dark side with him is that he still thinks the dark side is the only way he can have enough power to protect his family and therefore keep them—he’s objectively much more powerful than he was in the prequels, and a main part of his struggles during the fall of the Republic was that he didn’t feel “strong enough” to protect the people he loved as a Jedi. He wasn’t able to free the slaves. He wasn’t able to save his mother. He wasn’t able to stop Ashoka’s expulsion from the order. He wasn’t able to prevent Padmé from dying. With the commitment he’s had to his path and the objective amount of power he’s amassed since the twins’ births, I think it’s reasonable to assume he desperately grasping at the idea that somehow, this time, he’ll be able to achieve what he’s never been able to do before. But his failure always lies in the fact that his motivations are, and always have been, ultimately self-serving, that his pride and fear of loss—which are completely understandable in moderation and not something he should necessarily be punished for—outweigh his real and genuine care for his loved ones and the galaxy at large.

Idk. All this to say that Anakin has always been Vader and Vader has always been Anakin. They’re the same fucking person, you fools! Stop taking dissociative rationalization literally!!! It’s right there in the text!!!! His return to the light does not negate his time in the dark and vice versa! There is good in him !! He is capable of unspeakable evil !!! BOTH ARE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

Cody, drunk: Obi-Waaaaan! I sure hope I don't slip with some macaroni and fall ass first on your lightsabeeeer.

Rex: Sounds like you actually want to fall on the lightsaber…

The all black outfit and Vader theme at the intersection between realities? This could actually be Vader. Lord Vader who never lost to Kenobi and never lost his legs. It could be the Brother from Mortis. He may have pulled Ahsoka in because she is, in part, his sister. It could be an Anakin who is still the Fallen Jedi, but whose Ahsoka stayed. It could straight up be our Anakin

I trust nothing

great news everyone.

do you like my blog’s aesthetic? do you like my navi’s banner listed underneath—?

my themed aesthetic board for anakin skywalker and darth vader is up on my pinterest. named “starlight” after the band muse’s song, and coated in my famous signature “indy green” #003b3a

it’s for ios icons and widgets for a phone theme. i spent weeks on it. here’s an example (a sc from the first page of my phone)—

enjoy <3

One of my favorite things about Vader Returns AUs is that there's just really no way for Obi-Wan to be sure it isn't temporary. Vader may have his tail tucked now and yes, he's making promises and swearing convincingly, but there's a big ol' elephant in the room, and its name is "he's 180'd before". And as much as Obi would like to believe that he won't again (because this whole affair is giving him stress ulcers) how can he? Betraying yet another master is what brought Vader back to HIM. it's a parlor trick at this point, and not a very nice one

Thinking about how 1x04 ended with the [Vader Theme] playing after Ahsoka sees Ankain.

And how in 1x05 we didn't hear the [Vader Theme] play once.

Look, who knows what filoni has in store for us in the next episode but until then, I choose to revel in the last moments of episode 4 regardless of what may happen because their reunion is something I have thought about for Years and I deserve to feel the emotions it stirred

[lesbinewren]

the thing about rogue one is you have so many people who only see the fan servicey parts of it, whether they love it because of that or dismiss it because of that. and like yeah, the darth vader scene is awesome, but if that’s all you see then you’re really missing the fact that rogue one is a beautiful story about hope and ambition and sacrifice with complicated characters. i hope more people go back to rogue one after andor and see it for what it really is

“In the past, I’d compare Anakin to the gravity of a red giant. An atmosphere of toxic, incendiary hydrogen, praying for a mere candle’s flame to grace it. Hunting down justification for pure, wretched ignition. I see now how I was mistaken. Much like a black hole, Anakin has become all-consuming. Clawing fulfillment throughout his eternal life. Until, impossibly, he’s disassembled every atom to amass the galaxy’s weight in stardust. He’ll not surrender, for how can you force a supernova to bow?”
