15 min break is def long enough to start slinging some meta ish thoughts right??? I probably won't get to finish but-

I'm stuck on "Obi-Wan once thought as you did" because he once thought. He no longer did/does by the time of his death in ANH. Except now we've gotten to see the moment wherein he thought exactly as Luke does, because anyone who loves Anakin- even Luke who never met him before his Fall- can see him thrashing deep within Vader struggling to reach the surface like a drowning swimmer- metaphorically never catching his breath just as Vader's actual respirator never seems to be quite enough.

He's never buried as deep as it seems, he can't be because they're the same man, he is the ocean as much as he is the drowned, the prisoner and the prison, the armor symbolic of death and the still-beating heart.

there are three types of star wars fans

the ones who beg dave filoni not to hurt their favorite characters

the ones who threaten dave filoni's hats with premeditated arson if he hurts their favorite characters

and the ones whose favorite characters are already dead

Shmi v. Palpatine: Who Would Win?

Imagine that Padme finds out that the Jedi did not free Shmi. Imagine this happened around when Anakin was about 13 or so. Perhaps he finds out he can write Amidala a letter or something.

So Anakin says, hey, I've saved some money from podracing, but need someone to use it to free my mom because the Jedi won't do it. Could you send someone to do that maybe, please? And Padme is shocked and horrified and immediately takes care of it all herself using her own money.

Now Shmi is free and with Padme's help is settled into a place on Coruscant where Anakin can sneak away to see her. Naturally, she wants to be with her son. This is wonderful for Anakin's mental health.

HOWEVER, Anakin will naturally tell Palpatine. Can't imagine why he wouldn't.

And Palatine is the consummate abuser. This means he needs to isolate Anakin.

How does he do this, do you think? Does he insinuate that Anakin as a product of rape was unwanted? That maybe Shmi sees or saw him as a burden or is ashamed of him? Maybe she's angry at him? He's certainly going to do whatever he can to place emotional wedges there.

But what if planting those seeds doesn't work? And I think it's possible that it wouldn't, at least not long-term. Does Palpatine arrange for Shmi to be murdered? Would not put it past him.

It would be wonderful if Shmi could realise what a horrible person Palpatine is and keep her son away from him. And it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Shmi would probably note that Padme immediately freed her when Anakin wrote her, but Palpatine didn't do jack.

Of course, abusers do try to ingratiate themselves with the community, and Palpatine might have made a point of meeting Shmi and thanking her for her wonderful son etc., and tried to charm her, but I think given the above Shmi might see past that.

It might be a bit of an uphill battle for her to convince Anakin though. Anakin's had several years with Palpatine now thinking he's the only one who truly understands/cares. Internalizing that nothing's ever Palpatine's fault; he's the victim with good intentions if only the Republic wasn't so mean to him. Would be nice if Shmi got through to Anakin though. Given time and support, she could probably do it...But would Palpatine let her? Doubtful. There are so many ways to arrange an accident...

So I am putting this out there: Does Shmi being in Anakin's life after several years of Palpatine's grooming help him? If so, how much? Does Palpatine wedge them apart? Or, does Palpatine just outright murder Shmi to get rid of her?

I'm sorry my friends but I'm just feeling so numb. I don't feel able to write anything meaningful. The Bad Batch finale threw me off track. It's crazy because it really feels like I personally lost someone I knew. I don't think a series has ever made me feel this way. I can't even write down his name and seeing pictures of him make me feel sick again.

I hug you all, especially those who feel similar. I can't believe I'm writing this with tears streaming down my eyes.

Thank you for everything my friend, my brother, I will miss you.

Istg my eyes can’t fall on a random scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin without it hurting anymore...!! 😭 Just happened to open the book to this passage from shortly before Anakin was knighted and... *spreads hands helplessly*

“[Anakin’s] ambition would always be greater than every mission. Obi-Wan saw that clearly, and it pierced him. He had taught Anakin everything, and Anakin had learned much - but had he missed the important things?

I have failed, Qui-Gon. I have failed.

.....On the surface, everything was as it had always been.

Soon they would be ending their journey together.

They both knew it. He had never had to bid good-bye to Qui-Gon as a Master. He was still Qui-Gon’s Padawan when he died. Maybe that was the reason he felt so close to him still.

He did not know if Qui-Gon would have left him with words of wisdom, with a direction to follow. Now he had no way of knowing what else he could give Anakin. He had given him everything he could. It wasn’t enough.

Sadness filled Obi-Wan as they blasted into the upper atmosphere. He loved Anakin Skywalker, but he did not truly know him. The most important things he had to teach he had not taught. He would have to let him go, knowing that. He would have to let him go.”

~ Legacy of the Jedi by Jude Watson

#the way Obi already feels he failed Anakin *even before* Anakin's betrayal #the way he KNEW Anakin hadn't learned the things he most needed to know and that he'd have to let Anakin go as his Padawan anyway #thanks to the damn Clone Wars that were just a massive trap to destroy the Jedi #Obikin is pain 😭💔😭#star wars is pain #Obi-Wan Kenobi #Anakin Skywalker #Qui-Gon Jinn #obikin #obi wan kenobi #SW Legacy of the Jedi #Jude Watson #sw books #book quotes #star wars prequels

Tbf she has, according to The Lore about Togruta headbands, killed a carnivorous giant predator that regularly decimates entire villages, at fourteen, as her coming of age hunt.

Granted, this is legends, but...

damn. or she found a loophole

the way the clones and the Jedi’s cultures became so intertwined always gets me so teary.

Airo was literally the youngest of young for soldiers (he’d been named for a grand total of one day), and his dying words are still a Jedi / Force saying.

he didn’t have to spend years upon years with Obi-Wan for the Force- for the Jedi- to mean something to him. it just did. naturally. because he heard what the clones said about Obi-Wan and the Jedi and he trusted them and it wasn’t just him.

they all trusted and loved their generals, and the Jedi trusted and loved them in return. and that’s why Order 66 is SO deeply gutting
