It drives me crazy when people claim that Luke's compassion comes from Padme. I love her, but she didn't raise him. She had less of an affect on his morals than Anakin did. Luke's compassion doesn't come from his uncle Owen either. It comes from his aunt Beru. The woman who took in a child at great personal risk and helped turn him into one of the galaxy's kindest. Beru made Luke compassionate: She made him care. Padme may have given birth to Luke, but Beru raised him. She was an incredible mother figure and shouldn't be discounted because she isn't blood related to him.
I don't get why people don't get Anakin and Padme. "Why would she get into a relationship with someone as unstable as Anakin?" Because miss "I'm going to major separatist planet geonosis to rescue Obi Wan and you better come along if you want to protect me" is crazy too in her own way.
Listen, I am still not over the fact that Jango Fett was paid in about 20 million credits and a kid. The Kaminoans discussed contract details and Jango specifically requested a son. He was also a weirdly stable father for the Star Wars universe. They just lived in their little apartment, safe from the rain, and went about their days. He really just wanted to raise his kid and get on with his life. Boba had a weirdly wholesome childhood for the world he grew up on.
My favorite thing about Star Wars is the hilariously inconsistent descriptions of the force. Is it in us all? Is it magic? What is a midachlorian?! Who knows!! But, that silly lil monkey lizard in Jabba's palace is named Salacious B. Crumb, so there's that.
It is very special to me that Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Krryze got so much time together in season three. Their friendship is so perfectly fragile. Neither of them seems to like the other, but they both respect each other. Bo-Katan thinks Din is a zealot for his helmet beliefs and Din doesn't quite understand Bo-Katan's mandalore obsession. It really hits especially hard when, in episode 2/ ch. 18, Bo-Katan hears the ship land and claims that she is going to shoot Din for bothering her. Yet, when she walks outside to find Grogu unaccompanied, she immediately sets out to rescue him. Neither of them would ever admit to being friends, but they would save each other's lives.
I don't know why, but Count Dooku's storyline breaks my heart. This man was an extremely talented Jedi. He was trained by Yoda himself. He turned to the darkside, because he thought the Jedi were too moderate towards corruption. He couldn't stand the Jedi order's inaction. He joined Palpatine and plotted against him with Ventress. He saw himself as the key to the galaxy's reconstruction. He thought he could fix everything if he forged his own path. He had plans, big plans, for reshaping the world into something better. Instead, he was raised as a lamb for slaughter. Palpatine never really saw him as a threat, or a competent accomplice. He saw him as nothing more than Anakin's first kill.
Obi Wan Kenobi was basically a teen father. He was young, the youngest to become a jedi master. He loved Qui Gon, but he was totally unprepared to raise Anakin. He tried to parent him the same way that Qui Gon parented him. He jumped on every imperfection he saw, he stuck as close as he could to the rules, he even tried to make Anakin respect the council as much as he did. However, I don't feel that he should be blamed for Anakin's fall. He did his best under the circumstances. Even as inexperienced as he was, he gave Anakin a real home.
Edit: I now know that Obi Wan was 25 when he took on Anakin. I pretty much agree with everything else I said, but sorry for the slip up lol. ;)
Padme is so much like Anakin and at the same time so different. They were both raised from a young age for a specific purpose. They were both harshly judged despite all they had done for the galaxy. They both felt that the other one was the only one who understood them. Yet, Padme's "cage" was much nicer than Anakin's. She was trapped in luxury. The world she sought to escape held her in stifling opulence, instead of restrained survitude.
Thank you @beepbeepimacreep and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
Mando taking off his helmet to say goodbye to Grogu in season two is still the most precious thing in the world to me. I think about it every day. Din had taken off his helmet before, but it was always because he had too. In the season two finale, he didn't have to. He could have just as easily said goodbye with it. Besides, he had already shown his face once to save Grogu. Yet, when he thought he was going to lose his son forever, he couldn't let him leave without a proper goodbye. He just wanted Grogu to know how much he meant to him. He took off his mask to show his son that he was the most important thing in his life.
