She didn't like Kaliida Shoals and she wasn't too fond of the Kaminoans, either. Nala Shan and her colleagues were brilliant scientists and miracle-working doctors, but it seemed to her that Anakin felt more connection to machines than the Kaminoans did to the clones they created. When they didn't think she was listening, they referred to Rex and Coric and the others as units. Units. They weren't units, they were men, living breathing laughing hurting brave and reckless men, who would lay down their lives for her and for one another without ever once stopping to think first and she loved them for that. So did Anakin. And Master Kenobi, well, he respected them. But the Kaminoans? No love. Not even respect. Just pride. They were proud of their work. They were terribly impressed with how much damage a clone could sustain and how fast they could heal his torn flesh and broken bones. But care about them? Feel sympathy for their pain, or grief at their loss? No. She hadn't seen a hint of that. The Kaminoans were very detached. They were so detached they made Jedi like Master Yoda and Master Windu and Master Kenobi look like giddy, hysterical children.

Someone was sobbing. After a moment, Anakin realized Oh. That's me. And then his knees were buckling and he was heading for the ground. Obi-Wan caught him. "It's all right. I've got you." -K. Miller

Obi-Wan is being so normal about Anakin. (Clone Wars Gambit: Siege)

Someone was sobbing. After a moment, Anakin realized oh. It’s me. And then, his knees were buckling and he was heading for the ground. Obi-Wan caught him.

“It’s alright, I’ve got you.” He let Obi-Wan take his full weight because he was too tired not to.

Anakin's #1 hobby: drive Obi-Wan to distraction

once assigned to this man she'd made her own private and personal vow quite apart from the public oaths she'd sworn in the Jedi Temple.

I will not be the Padawan who gets the Chosen One killed.

pardon Anakin but—what?

[currentlyonstandbi]

reading the clone wars gambit series and thinking about the fact that the reason anakin continues to throw himself head first into danger, the reason he risks life and limb in increasingly violent confrontations during the war, is because he believes that if the prophecy is true, if he really is the chosen one, then it's his destiny to bring balance to the force, and the universe simply will not let him die before that destiny has been fulfilled

Late to the party but I finally watched Bad Batch, and this is what happened. 👀

Yes I know Echo looks so Baby Girl and no I won’t be taking any notes to the contrary 😅🥰

He is soft and deserves nice things okay

“It seems General Grievous has figured out how to jam our comms again. How inconsiderate.”

“Yeah, that’s probably why I don’t like him.” Said Anakin. “He’s got no manners.”

Watching them smile at each other, Taria felt the kinship and the complicated love. They were such an odd pairing on the face of it. Obi-Wan so self contained, Anakin so reckless. But they’d found their balance, and now they were two halves of a whole. Anakin had been the making of Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan had shown Anakin what it meant to be a good man.
