I have one storytelling issue with Anakin killing the Tusken Raiders in Attack of the Clones (there is also a major issue with how the Tusken Raiders are treated throughout Star Wars especially in this scene which another creator explains better here but there is also a storytelling issue)

Anakin committing murder against the Tuskens should be treated with way more gravitas than it is

It's supposed to be the first step towards his fall to the dark side, where he gives into his anger and lets it rule him completely, to the destruction of an entire tribe, the problem is destroying an entire tribe is not a first step atrocity, it's an 'where in the endgame for his downfall now'

You can get away with more because of the setting of the story, the galaxy is wartorn, people we are supposed to see as the heroes have already had to kill to survive, making killing more acceptable, but the Jedi themselves are not supposed to kill (this isn't actually presented as an issue for other Jedi but we are told they aren't meant to kill so let's just move on) and this is because the Jedi are strong enough to end a fight without killing, so it's always a choice for them to kill, which is why it is such a big deal when Anakin is pressured to kill Count Dooku in Revenge of the Sith

This makes the Tusken Raiders massacre something worthy of a lot of Gravitas, not only has Anakin chosen to kill, he has chosen to slaughter everyone "the women and children too", it is a massacre and there should be no way to move past it

But the story doesn't treat it like that, the story treats it as if he had just made a slight slip, something he can come back from, immediately we get Padme silently hugging him, which humanises him and also implies that it's not that bad because Padme is shown to be quite a moral and upstanding character, and then the event is never mentioned again

Let me repeat, the massacring of an entire community is brushed past by the story

And then the next movie we see Anakin struggling with murdering Count Dooku, this doesn't work, sure Count Dooku hasn't killed someone as personal to him as his mother but Count Dooku is also someone who has been a thorn in Anakin's side for two entire movies, killing the Tuskens should have made him more willing to kill the Count so why has he become more moral rather than less

Killing the Tuskens wasn't a slip to the Dark Side it was a jump across a cavern he should never have been able to come back from but it's treated like a slip and it makes the story infuriating

Genocide against the Tusken Raiders happened way too early in the story for it to make sense considering how the story treats it, genocide is not something you can come back from but the story wants you to believe he can and then acts like the genocide of the Jedi is so much worse, no, he's already done it, yeah the Tuskens made it believable but the discrepancy in the treatment of the two genocides makes the story infuriating, it's genocide other way, why is only the Jedi's massacre treated as such

And Anakin didn't have to massacre an entire village to show he was slipping, we had already established that the Jedi are not allowed to kill and more importantly, the Jedi are not supposed to give into their emotions, him killing a person in anger should have been enough, him killing maybe two people in anger would have been enough but massacring an entire village should have been a 'he's never coming back, he has completely fallen to the dark side' moment like when he did it to the Jedi

And it just doesn't work, the only thing I can think of for why this scene exists in the form it does is poor storytelling, George Lucas didn't have a plan so he had the impactful scene of Anakin massacring a Tusken community and then low key retconned it in the next movie because he still had another movie to flesh out Anakin's fall, and it does also feel racist that the Tuskens who are based on non-white indigenous communities have their genocide treated so lightly when compared to the genocide of the Jedi

the tusken costume design seriously fucks

thank you for coming to my ted talk

I started watching the book of boba fett with my bestie and now I want a series entirely about Tuskens

When Your Name is the Title But It's Not Your Story

I'm about to say something absolutely blasphemous as a die-hard EU fangirl. *Glances nervously left and right before whispering:*

The Disney show Obi-Wan Kenobi was better than Kenobi.

*ducks the tsunami of angry EU novel fans*

Just hear me out on this one, because this wasn't a bad book or a bad Star Wars story! It was just a bad Obi-Wan story. Let's talk Kenobi.

Obi-Wan's name might be prominently on the cover of this book, but if I'm being real, the story is Annileen's and A'Yark's story. It's about how these absolute badass women pick up, keep going, and build better lives for themselves and their children in the desert hellscape that is Tatooine. The Jedi on site happens to be Obi-Wan, and we get periodic meditations from him on trying to connect with Qui-Gon and deal with *gestures broadly at Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,* but it's so disconnected from the main meat of the Tusken/Moisture Farmer conflict that frankly it's distracting from the "Annileen is slowly low-key falling in love with Ben" parts of the novel. The Tusken/Moisture Farmer conflict is actually really well done and compelling, but you could have slotted literally any male human Jedi of Obi-Wan's age into the story and it wouldn't have changed anything critical to the book.

Compare that to Obi-Wan Kenobi's deep look at Obi-Wan's collapse and rebuilding after Episode III, and the intense focus on Obi-Wan's identity and relationships with Anakin, the Jedi, the nascent Rebel Alliance, Darth Vader, young Leia (literally not enough heart eyes in the world for that relationship), and the force and there is just no comparison. The show centered Obi-Wan in a way that the novel just straight-up did not.

So if you want a well-plotted, well-written, women-centric Star Wars story, by all means, pick up Kenobi. It's a solid book and I enjoyed it. If you want Obi-Wan-centric angst and emotional growth, I gotta point you at the show.
