You Know How Some Parents Are Like, Really Really Intense And Force Their Kids To Practice Violin 3 Hours

you know how some parents are like, really really intense and force their kids to practice violin 3 hours a day whether or not its good for their child as an individual because they have an idea about Greatness? That’s the Jedi with Anakin except they started teaching him to Murder

does anyone know how to get rid of the porn bot followers? They make me uncomfortable.

padme lives AUs are never funny enough. like whether you're a rebel soldier or a stormtrooper, someone at the highest chain of your command is having a REALLY public and REALLY messy session of divorce court in front of you, your god, and the whole damn galaxy, and all of you just have to sit there and watch

ATLA and Zuko

When I first watched ATLA as a teenager, my dumbass thought that Zuko's scar wasn't a scar. I thought that he got punched really hard one time (I'm not the most perceptive, so I didn't notice his deformed ear), and the animators were taking the time to establish continuity with injuries. I kept wondering why it never healed, and then the people in the show called it a scar, and Iroh told everyone Zuko's tragic backstory, and only then did I get it.

I was really stupid.

Reading over debates and flame wars on this site about the Jedi, Sith or literally anything about Star Wars made me realize how truly futile it is to have true debates on canon. You just can't.

All of the retcons, continuity errors, levels of canon and the differences between Legends and Disney canon just make everyone's arguments valid in their own selected universes. You can't really expect other people to simply drop their universes that they grew up with, bought merchandise and became attached (ironic) to in terms of characters. Having a discussion about worldbuilding or characterization is practically impossible.

It's like arguing on Luke's characterization, only one person in the discussion is using the Star Wars universe and the other is using the Percy Jackson universe as their basis. There's no connection; you're all right in your own universes. And it all just goes round and round and round forever.

It's times like this that I have to remind myself that the Clone Wars timeline is set over three years. THREE FUCKING YEARS.

HOLD ON LEGENDS CANON SAYS THERE ARE THREE WEEKS BETWEEN ANAKIN BEING KNIGHTED AND TAKING AHSOKA AS A PADAWAN? AND A TOTAL OF SEVEN WEEKS BETWEEN AOTC AND THE CLONE WARS MOVIE?

This is hilarious. This is my favorite thing about the EU so far.

Like I’ve had sinus infections that lasted longer than Anakin’s solo Knighthood. I know heads of lettuce that lasted longer. THREE WEEKS??!?

Just imagine: Say Shmi dies, Anakin murders a village and loses his arm all on Halloween. By Thanksgiving, he’s gotten a new arm, gotten out of the hospital, gotten married, and been made a Jedi Knight. Then he fights in three major military engagements, takes on responsibility for a 14-year-old, and goes BACK to Tatooine where his mom died a month and a half ago and still has a full week to get his Christmas shopping done. He is a VERY BUSY GUY.

I’m not saying getting a full month to define himself as an individual would fix Anakin, both because that’s just the tip of the iceberg and because his brain fails to compute independence as a concept. What I’m saying is THREE WEEKS DFGJBJBJKCBAJKEKJWKJSD

[From the novel Clone Wars: Wild Space. Disclaimer: the book does also mention engagements on Anoth and Bakura after the seven week mark but before Christophsis, but Wookieepedia’s only reference to Anakin’s involvement in those is Wild Space itself, so I’m gonna assume they didn’t take super long?]
