When Anakin Skywalker Became Darth Vader Vs When Darth Vader Became Anakin Skywalker

When Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader vs when Darth Vader became Anakin Skywalker

Star Wars is an epic poem🥲

Spoilers for TBB 1x05!! *Regarding Muchi the rancor*

Did y’all realize that Muchi was the rancor that Luke killed in ROTJ?💀

The Bad Batch basically took the opportunity to animate this I guess:

And what’s with Bib Fortuna having cameos recently?💀

Just thinking about how Maul’s last words before he died were “He will avenge us.”

On his deathbed, Maul finally gives up on trying to defeat Obiwan long enough to realize how similar they are and how wronged they were.

Now, whether the Chosen One is Luke or Anakin is debatable because of the context, but either way, they did both avenge Maul and Obiwan.

Luke was able to convince his father to help save him from Palpatine’s force lightning, throw Palpatine to what should have been his death, and damage his breathing system which is probably what caused his death.

If Palpatine had truly died, the prophecy would have been fulfilled. Maul, Obiwan, and countless others would have been avenged.

Palpatine was responsible for forcing Maul to be his apprentice, training him ruthlessly, sending him to the fight where he was cut in half, letting him rot in insanity, killing his brother and apprentice, literal torture, and probably more terrible things I don’t even know about.

Palpatine was responsible for sending Maul to kill Qui-gon (and Maul’s incessant obsession with hurting Obiwan afterwards including Satine’s death and all the Jedi he killed to get Obiwan’s attention), creating and playing both sides of the Clone War (resulting in the deaths of countless clones created only for this purpose and innocent civilians), grooming Anakin to be the next Sith Lord after Dooku and seducing him to the dark side, ordering Order 66 which almost killed Obiwan (and Maul), and forcing Obiwan to live in hiding under the cruelty of the Empire.

Palpatine used both of them and put them against one another. He was the one that ruined both of their lives, directly or otherwise.

When Anakin threw him down the reactor shaft in ROTJ, that should have been it. After Anakin died, there would be no Sith Lords left and the Sith Rule of Two would be forever ended, restoring peace to the galaxy.

This is one of the reasons why I dislike the sequel trilogy in general (for storyline purposes). By bringing Palpatine back in TROS, they broke the canon Sith Rule of Two, invalidated Dave Filoni’s meaningful end to the Obiwan vs Maul rivalry, disrespected George Lucas’ vision of his franchise, implied that Rey could not have been a powerful Jedi without being related to a strong force user, and made the story even more confusing and pitiful.

And J.J. Abrams had the nerve to admit there was no plan for the trilogy, like, yeah, it was obvious😐

A small gentle reminder that you never ever have to apologize for the size of your body. You’re lovely. 

I know the Kenobi series is nowhere close to being released and it’s still filming but uh I made this bingo...like a year in advance😅

If you all would like to comment what you think will happen I’d love to hear your thoughts!

If you save, a rb would be appreciated :)

No because this is very accurate and almost nobody in the fandom wants to talk about this...

Amazing work OP <3

you… really have to hand it to Maul’s nearly suicidal hubris.

first just the tunnel vision and arrogance of thinking he could entice Obi-Wan to come at all? like, the entire Clone Wars are coming to a head. Satine is already dead so he has no personal leverage anymore. Mandalore as a neutral planet is completely strategically irrelevant and the Republic military couldn’t legally land there (EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO AND THEY DON’T). Grievous is still out there. Dooku is still out there. they’re in the middle of the Outer Rim Sieges. what about the man is busy is he not getting??

Maul is like the MOST MINOR bad thing on the mile-long list of bad things Obi-Wan is dealing with. 

AND THEN 

thinking that Obi-Wan coming would be ANY KIND OF A WIN FOR HIM

Maul lost to Obi-Wan as a padawan, and since then Obi-Wan has spent ten years training and fighting every single day while Maul has spent ten years going insane and eating garbage. he and Savage TOGETHER couldn’t even take Obi-Wan ON HIS OWN. TWO ON ONE and Maul still couldn’t trap and kill Obi-Wan. it took him in collusion with an entire planet PLUS the whole galactic underworld to get Obi-Wan trapped on Mandalore the first time, and Obi-Wan STILL got away. 

Ahsoka, a seventeen-year-old, punted him through a window and, unarmed, took his own lightsaber out of his hands. and he originally wanted Obi-Wan to come to Mandalore, BRING HIS ARMY, AND BRING HIS APPRENTICE, who Maul knows is so powerful that Sidious has spent TEN YEARS meticulously grooming him as the final endgame Sith minion.

i genuinely cannot imagine how exactly Maul expected this to go down. it’s got to be a product of his clearly deteriorating sanity. he couldn’t have had any concept of what he was asking for. like what’s the thought process? 

sure, i’ll fight Obi-Wan Kenobi (who i have never once defeated one-on-one) and his unstable six foot Sith-influenced murder machine best friend in a two-vs-one death match. no problem! its not like i’ve ever won a duel in my life or anything!!

i hope somebody writes this AU because i desperately want to see it now.
