Anakin: *sitting on the floor with Luke, a small cut on his ankle* But what if I start to bleed out?

Luke: *looking through a box of crayon shaped bandaids to pick out the right one* You’ll be fine, it’s not even bleeding.

Leia: *showing up with a training saber in hand* Master says you didn’t bleed out in your arm because the lightsaber cauterizes as it cuts. I’m sure I could burn it closed for you.

Anakin: *glaring at an amused Obi-Wan, clearly the person filming* That’s okay, babygirl, I think Luke found the best bandaid so I’ll be okay.

Leia: Suit yourself.

Extremely unpopular opinion but I know in my heart that Padmé Amidala would be awful parents to Luke and Leia. Padmé would refuse to talk to the children when they’re upset and the less said about Anakin ‘youngling slayer, hand cutter, “but the women and the children too” Skywalker the better tbh

I think it’s weird that people are convinced they would be the worlds best parents with the healthiest relationship, I’ve seen a lot of posts saying that Leia and Anakin would be super close when like.. Leia was a rebel and a feminist, in what way would Leia and fascist fanboy be bffs. I’ve seen the same that Padmé and Luke would wear matching outfits and gossip and all, but that’s not fitting with Luke’s character at all? Idk every time I see Luke in those family fics he’s infantilised to all hell - even besides that children aren’t copy’s of their parents, they have their own autonomy and personality.

Realistically Padmé and Anakin are far, far to obsessive over each other to give their children a healthy upbringing, Anakin choked Padmé (while pregnant) out of anger which makes me think abt what exactly he’d do if angry with the kids or Padmé? Like he cut off Luke’s hand, it definitely doesn’t bode well

^^Edit: looking back on this now abt Padmé being “alright with it” that wasn’t the case, sorry abt that one guys

I honestly believe that had she had lived long enough she would’ve tried to raise the children with Vader. Anakin never really seemed to care that much over the kids (I believe because it was a realisation that they couldn’t keep their affair hidden any longer and he would have to choose between being a father/husband or a Jedi) and I couldn’t imagine he’d be alright with Padmé having to give a lot of attention to the kids instead of him.

Ultimately Owen/Beru and Bail/Breha were the best options for raising the children seeing as the Jedi order was out of the question. The reason Luke and Leia turned out to be healthy, well adjusted adults is because of their respective adoptive parents (Aunt/uncle), not because of “to be angry is to be human” amidala and alderaan destroyer 2000 Skywalker

Sidenote: throughout RotS Padmé and Anakin barely even trust each other💀💀 how are 2 people who can’t trust one another supposed to raise kids cmon now

“anakin and padme deserved to raise their kids together” and “the organa’s are amazing parents for leia” are two statements that can coexist

thinkin about the fact padme tried to hide her pregnancy at best with clothes and less staff so likely those who loved and knew her only found about it in her funeral and they probably thought her child died with her too

Occasionally I ponder the heartbreak of Anakin Skywalker; who even as a child only ever wanted to use his abilities to help, from whom the universe kept asking more and more, taking and taking and taking when he was much, much too young, until he broke and proceeded to break the whole galaxy along with him. Then the ruined shell of him still kept going as Darth Vader, not because he was particularly enthused by Palpatine or the cause, but because Anakin Skywalker was a creature of sheer will and impossible power and there was nowhere left and nothing to do but go on and on and on - until Luke. Unstoppable force meet immovable object.

Then after Anakin comes Leia Organa, who is Anakin Skywalker’s daughter in her very bones, who even as a child only ever wanted to use her abilities to help, from whom the universe kept asking more and more, taking and taking and taking when she was much, much too young. No matter what happened there was nowhere and no way for Leia to break because the galaxy was already broken. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t because she knew what would happen, what she would become if she did (Vader). Because Leia Organa was a creature of sheer will and impossible power and even as her family and the New Republic crumbled around her there was nowhere and nothing else left for her to do but go on and on and on.

I don't think the star wars fandom is mature enough to handle the nuances of adoption-

I saw a take that Anakin and Padmé weren't Leia's parents because they didn't raise her and in the same breath saw a post that said that Bail and Breha weren't her parents because they didn't give birth to her and oh my god y'all shes adopted. She has four parents. Give it a fucking rest.

Thinking about how Bail Organa adopted Leia probably thinking 'thank god we'll get the miniature Padmé while Obi-Wan can go for round two training a little Anakin' only to realise he's the one who got the kid with Padmé's stubbornness and determination but Anakin's attitude and temperament

does anyone else think about luke and leia everyday? like the fact that they r twins but didn’t grow up together?

how most of the time you spend with your sibling is before you turn 18, and how they didn’t even know the other existed until they were 19?

how the original trilogy was probably the closest they ever were, and that it was only about 5-6 years?

honestly I love how Mark Hamill came back and gave us more content ab our sweetheart, or how Hayden Christenses did the same and was just majestic, but I think they should start searching for new actors. Instead of paying a (n absolutely beautiful) 42ys man to play a 19ys boy why can't they find a young actor who resembles Hayden enough to look like Anakin?

Do you know where Yoda is in your Anakin-raises-Leia au?

Is he still chilling on Dagobah, with occasional visits from the X-many greats grandkids?

Did he see Anakin, Ahsoka, and (later) Obi-Wan trying to raise a baby and think Absolutely Not, they need Adult Supervision?

Did he choose to stay near Luke like OT Obi, but as a mysterious bog gremlin instead of sand wizard? is he punking any imperials that try to enter - think Shrek vibes

Is he taking advantage of the Vader free universe to go around looking for their lost padawans?

did he immediately retire to a vacation world, leaving saving the universe in his lineages' hands as he sips space piña coladas and watches the sun set?

Is he doing a mix of everything?

yeah he's pissed off to dagobah as per usual!! so yeah shrek vibes but on dagobah not naboo ): really not much difference, though Anakin and Leia do (carefully) visit a few times to get Jedi guidance or whatever! but yeah just bc vader isn't here doesn't mean yoda's 1. safe or 2. in a mental state to be a jedi after losing so many ppl he taught ): lad's in his depressed swamp boy summer

Yeah sure it’s sad it’s a tragedy whatever but I think Obi-wan, Yoda, and Bail knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to raise Luke & Leia apart. They said listen we can’t bring Padme back to life or fix the whole Anakin situation but what we can do is evenly distribute their children so that they might be manageable

“I need to get supplies for Dad,” she informed the twins seriously. “You need to stay here to watch out for him, all right?”

They nodded in tandem.

She bit her lip as she pondered her next move, but decided they all had to do what it took. Sola pulled two blasters from her bag and handed one to each of them.

“They are not toys,” she said gravely. “They are to be used only to defend yourselves and Dad. This here, this is the safety. If you press it like this, the weapon can fire. This is stun. I’m locking this setting.”

“What if we need to kill them?” Leia asked, brown eyes utterly sincere. Her fierce little girl. So ready to do what it took to protect her people.

“You are not the ones with that responsibility yet, my sweet,” Sola said. “Please trust me on this.”

i adore the parallel of padme dying and giving birth while anakin dies and gives birth to darth vader
