when obi-wan said 'I won't kill anakin' and then spent the entire rest of his life following through on that. fuck everyone else obi-wan I respect you yoda should've taken you at your fucking word

'boohoo why did he walk away and not kill anakin this time either even with all the suffering he'll go on to cause if he lets him go' he's told you why very clearly you just didn't believe him I guess!! desperately not killing anakin is obi-wan's main export. it's his universal constant, his life's work, his magnum opus. he gets creative about not killing that guy. he tries to send anakin's teenage twink son to do the job for him because he simply can't. he fucking... peaces out and dies to avoid killing anakin. that's like his whole deal. whether he's right to be like this is another entirely separate conversation but it is what he is

#also it's a prequel and I think we would have noticed if obi-wan killed vader before luke even met him lol #star wars #obi wan kenobi #if anything it's a thrill to me that he had the chance again and. didn't do it. like I said universal constant #'What if I simply. didn't'. and then he didn't. and was sad about it forever. it's the good stuff #this is entirely performative indignation btw I am not vagueblogging at anyone I'm just waxing histrionic for fun lol

Something I love about Star Wars is how Luke didn't fix Anakin, he gave him the courage to save himself.

Anakin Skywalker is both a villain (and an abuser. I mean he tortured his own daughter and cut off his son's hand, come on) and a victim, that much is obvious. He is, most importantly, a slave. There has never been a single moment of his life where he wasn't/hasn't felt like he was a slave to something. Watto, the Republic, Palpatine, maybe even himself — you name it. He has never been free.

When Luke goes to the second Death Star, he is going to his father, to the suffering Palpatine is putting Anakin through (he is the main victim of Sidious's abuse and torture, something many people tend to forget). To the suffering Anakin is making himself go through, because, while it was heavily influenced by Palpatine, Anakin's choice to never leave was his own.

He Fell, and that wasn't his fault, but he chose to stay there. Many people — namely Padmé — gave him second chances. Padmé gave Anakin the chance to leave and stay together, but he didn't take it. He did all of it to save her, and it the end, he ends up believing he was the one who killed her (he 'destroys' his goal, because that's what the Dark Side does. You may begin as a noble person looking to save someone, but the Dark Side isn't good, and you will lose track of yourself along the way.)

And now here he is, inside a prison that is seen as his own suit. A prison he was put in, a prison he chose to stay in. By the time of ROTJ, he truly believes that it's over for him. That nothing can save him. That there's no hope. Anakin, the lifelong slave, is resigned to his fate. “It is too late for me, son,” he tells Luke, who willingly came to him wearing shackles.

And Luke, still believing that there is some humanity in Darth Vader's armor, doesn't deter. He doesn't let his father's words stop him. He shows that he's willing to give himself away, to die, just to save him.

Luke Skywalker, son of Padmé and Anakin and the last Jedi Master left, shows a man turned monster that he loves him unconditionally. He shows him that no, it's not too late for him, not now and not ever. And this — his selflessness, his compassion — is what finally gets through Anakin. Someone loves him, and he loves them back. And he would do anything to keep them alive, including killing his own Master and breaking his chains.

It's Luke's own sacrifice that inspires Anakin to give up his life. It's Luke's undying hope that motivates Anakin to finally break his own chains. It's Luke's trust in him that gives Anakin the courage to save himself, and in that single act, he saves the entire galaxy.

The light comes to him in the form of one Luke Skywalker, extending his hand for the last time — the light comes to him when he takes it.

The Prophecy is fulfilled when Anakin kills Palpatine and leaves the dark. The galaxy is saved when a father dies for his son.

Luke being the ultimate killer of Sith and Dark Jedi by doing the exact opposite of what the Jedi did.

Reva looking at Luke and seeing herself and being unable to kill him and he just inadvertently destroyed a powerful adversary by being unconscious. He defeated her by accidentally reminding her of how vulnerable she felt, and reminding her that she wanted to kill Vader out of revenge but that becoming him won’t avenge anyone. He defeated her by reminding her of the power of emotional vulnerability.

Darth Vader is defeated because Luke trusts him so much, trusts that this man who has slaughtered indiscriminately for longer than Luke has been alive, this man who killed Luke’s Master right in front of him and who cut off his own son’s hand while knowing it was his son, this man who basically gave Luke the choice to join his side or fall to his death- Luke trusts that dude, and Darth Vader is defeated by the power of fucking love. And emotional vulnerability.

Mara Jade is the Emperor’s Hand and literally threatens to kill Luke every time they speak and she is almost nothing but cruel to him but he believes in her and she sees that he just trusts her even though he definitely shouldn’t and that’s what builds to Leia asking her if she really wants to kill Luke, which makes Mara question if she ever wanted to kill Luke. Her defeat is through, you guessed it, the power of emotional vulnerability.

Vader and Mara both kill the antagonist for Luke. Vader kills Palpatine (sssshhhh, he killed Palpatine, let him have this shhhhhh) and Mara kills C’baoth.

But even before that, Luke tries to understand C’baoth. He doesn’t try to understand the Emperor, I admit that, but then, the first time he met him, the Emperor tried to convince him to kill his dad, and Luke doesn’t even try to kill Palpatine for that.

Luke defeats Sith the exact opposite of the way we see them defeated in the prequel movies, it’s really kinda funny to me that, like some Jedi, Luke has his own unique ability. Unfortunately for him, this ability is just the power to make people reflect on their actions and the motivations behind those actions. He also has the follow up ability of being vulenerable in front of people and people going “I can’t kill this little guy” which means that his true strength is his Ultimate Power of Emotional Vulnerability-

*watches the prequel trilogy with the og trilogy once* GUYS I THINK I UNDERSTAND STAR WARS NOW

#star wars #I have enough chaotic thoughts that I could let this take over my blog for a short time but I probably won’t lol #it’s just that I spent the prequels going ‘ok but this is Bad’ a lot of the time #but then I followed them with the og trilogy (which I’d at least 60% seen before) and suddenly that new background information MADE SENSE #like. Darth Vader. he really IS protective of Luke from the get go. like. hello Anakin.#so like. parts of it are still a bit of a dumpster fire.#BUT I SEE THE FRAMEWORK NOW #brb thinking about Leia carrying her mother’s sadness. that’s a thought. ‘Beautiful and kind and sad’#like. just. oof.#I also actually understand why the prequels are Bad now which is fun and I’m temporarily obsessed with them #may watch TFA at some point because I wanna meet Rey and Finn but I will not complete the sequel trilogy lol #little bro says the sequels Aren’t Star Wars and I preemptively agree but I just wanna steal the good parts to add to my mind #may watch Rogue One at some point too #and then we’ll see if I submit myself to the devastation of the clone wars because I probably shouldn’t but also it would probably fix me #I’m gonna shut up now. I should get ready for bed.

Every time I remember that even after dying, obi-wan was most likely just as miserable as he was while alive, I die a little inside.

#he might've had some peace for a little while after ROTJ #but i just keep imagining how he must've felt watching Ben Solo become Kylo Ren #to watch this boy who was named after him make the same choices as anakin #even worse choices actually #to watch leia and luke #the kids who he dedicated the rest of his life to protecting #who he loved so much and felt so much responsibility for #to watch them have to suffer the same pain and guilt that he suffered #it must have really broken his heart #it breaks mine thinking about it #especially after seeing the lively carefree optimistic ten year old leia in the Kenobi series #compared to the broken obi wan in the kenobi series #it hurts knowing she'll grow up to feel the same pain #obi wan kenobi #leia organa #luke skywalker #anakin skywalker #darth vader #ben solo #kylo ren #star wars #infinite sadness #star wars prequels #star wars original trilogy #star wars sequals #obi wan kenobi series #kenobi #kate's post

Do you think Vader knows how old is he, bc I don't think Palpatine prepared birthday party's for his favorite rabid pet.

Plus I think Anakin/Vader just stopped counting one day, I mean let's face it the only thing he cared about at that point was how many walls he can destroy if he body slams into them.

#luke probs asked him and he straight up had a panic attack in the middle of their battle or sum #then he went to mf palps and he was like oh you're finally having your middle life crisis #imagen him meeting obiwan in force heaven and asking him if he knows how old he is #he then proceeded to go to his sad Mountain of doom on mustafar and did some math #and then he realized he was 40-smth and started destroying shit #luke was just there looking concerned for his dad #anakin skywalker #star wars #anakin and padme #obi wan kenobi #ashoka tano #clone wars #darth vader #luke skywalker #padme amidala
