I Dont Know About You Guys But The Main Reason I Am Still On Tumblr In 2024 Is BECAUSE It Is The Most

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

What truly decimated me for the Clone Wars finale was the final scene,those last shots of Anakin,of Darth Vader standing before the wreckage of what was once his ship.The startling difference between what we see as viewers here and literally every other film depiction of Darth Vader is something very simple,but it struck me nerve deep.Look at the way he moves,because he doesn’t move like David Prowse,Sebastian Shaw, and Spencer Wilding, or like other animated versions of him where he is powerful and dominant and strong,he moves like Anakin.

You can see,in those last shots,how thin and young he still is,that even with his severed limbs,he still holds himself and moves like the Anakin Skywalker we know.What we are shown is Anakin,still young in that suit, even when some time has passed, standing before the ruins of what was once his entire life,that he is personally responsible for burning to the ground.We see a shot of the destroyer,of the Open Circle Emblem and what represents the shattered bond he and Obi-Wan had,we are shown the buried graves and the helmet of a soldier who once served him with unending loyalty.We are shown a helmet painted with the face of his former padawan,and we are shown her lightsaber,and it is all encased in snow and ice,immortalized and frozen,the shell of a murdered past. 

And that moment before he sheathes Ahsoka’s lightsaber,we see something that shattered my heart.We see Anakin’s eye,through the red tinted ocular lenses in his helmet,unclearly,but enough that you can see the human face trapped behind the mask.And what is he looking at up in the sky?A bird,universal symbol of freedom.What does it mean?The death of the Republic,the death of freedom?Anakin’s entrapment in his own cage,his imprisonment in the suit and the destiny he has forged while his soul longs for the freedom of before,or a new kind of freedom?Or is it Ahsoka and Rex’s freedom,a symbol to show that while her lightsaber lay with graves,her past left to die like everything else,that they are out in the galaxy on their own terms,to fight for freedom in later years?I can’t quite decide if its an omen of Anakin’s self-made torture and imprisonment in the dark side as Darth Vader until Luke,or if it is a symbol of hope,but either way,it ends in the death of the Republic.

the honda odyssey, huh?

the best first date question is obviously "as a kid did you ever just like, burn things". you will be able to gain everything you need to know from their answer or even just their immediate reaction
