Even on their wedding day, Anakin had had no devotion-gift for his new wife: he didn’t actually own anything.
But love will find a way.
He had brought something like a gift to her apartments in Theed, still a little shy with her, still overwhelmed by finding the feelings in her he’d felt so long in himself, not knowing quite how to give her a gift which wasn’t really a gift. Nor was it his to give. Without anything of his own to give except his love, all he could bring her was a friend.
“I didn’t have many friends when I was a kid,” he’d told her, “so I built one.”
And C-3PO had shuffled in behind him, gleaming as though he’d been plated with solid gold.
Padmé had lit up, her eyes gleaming, but she had at first tried to protest. “I can’t accept him,” she’d said, “I know how much he means to you.”
Anakin had only laughed. What use is a protocol droid to a Jedi? Even one as upgraded as 3PO- Anakin had packed his creation with so many extra circuits and subprograms and heuristic algorithms that the droid was practically human.
“I’m not giving him to you,” he’d told her. “He’s not even really mine to give: when I built him, I was a slave, and everything I did belonged to Watto. Cliegg Lars bought him along with my mother; Owen gave him back to me, but I’m a Jedi. I have renounced possessions. I guess that means he’s free now. What I’m really doing is asking you to look after him for me.”

Balance
________________
This is how it ended right? Rey and Ben, two Grey Jedi Masters, exploring the galaxy and bringing balance to the force. Sounds right to me.

This moment is super crucial in the story and reveals so much about the character. His desperation is boiling, bubbling under the surface of his skin. He wants her to let go - perhaps needs her to - because, despite what he tells himself and her, he has not. He’s not yelling so much at her, but at himself.
It’s why he attacks her at this point; he thinks if she gets broken down (like he was by Snoke) then she will move on. He wants to move on himself, so badly, but he can’t, and he needs her to show him it’s possible. That is what she is to him, when he says “…but not to me.” She is his way out.
That’s what the eventual “Please?” is about. One last grasp at freedom from his past, to be someone different, to take a different path. ‘Please show me that I can be better.’ He wants “to be free of this pain.”
But she can’t let go either. And this is where all of that rage comes from: not only on the surface from her rejection, but also the deep, deep disappointment of not getting out himself. He is trapped in this version of himself that he hates because he’s still holding on.
Also, big ups to Adam Driver’s delivery here, because this would have felt very different if he’d had a different understanding of the character.
Author’s note: TLJ haters can go right to hell, and The Rise of Skywalker can suck my nuts. Both of these characters had miles to go from here in terms of development, and Disney punted it. Fuck.

I can’t stop thinking about how much they screwed up TROS
I was going to watch it again to list out more issues or find things I can praise it on (because there were A FEW things they did right), but what’s the point? What was the point of this new trilogy?
