IS THIS SHOW ABOUT KINDNESS? I'M SO HAPPY.

I can’t be mad that the Inquisitors seem to have figured out who Darth Vader really is because the show explains exactly how it happened:  They’re all vying to be the one to bring Obi-Wan Kenobi in, they’ll literally stab each other for the chance to be the one to impress Vader, which means that Vader is just as obsessed with Obi-Wan as he ever was, and no former Jedi turned Inquisitor can hear Darth Vader talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi, can hear him bring up Obi-Wan in every single goddamned conversation like he does in the movies despite that nobody was fucking talking about him, and not get smacked in the face with it like a giant wet dish rag like “ohhhhhh I have heard this monologue before, goddammit, that’s fucking Anakin Skywalker, isn’t it, isn’t it”.

Thinking about that line in the leaked tales of the jedi teaser- "The best way I can protect you is to teach you how to protect yourself" (Anakin is saying this to Ahsoka). Man this line is making me feel things. Maybe it's just the music and visuals (cough cough and hearing Matt Lanter as Anakin again). Or maybe it's the Clone Wars nostalgia because good lord that line makes me think about the Padawan Lost arc. Just thinking about how Anakin's desire to teach Ahsoka to protect herself leads to Ahsoka saying the famous "All I had was your training, and the lessons you taught me. And because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well." Just thinking about how we might just see the training that taught Ahsoka to survive not only in that arc, but in the Wrong Jedi arc, and the Siege of Mandalore/Order 66, not to mention through the rebellion era and beyond and forever because Dave isn't killing her off anytime soon lol. And I'm thinking about Anakin, how he needs his loved ones to survive, the sternness in his voice when he says the "train you to protect yourself" line and "again" after Ahsoka is knocked out by the clones. He has to prepare Ahsoka because he knows that she's being thrown out into a war as an inexperienced little padawan and he can't lose her. Anakin has to push her now because he can't bear to lose her. Remember how he dealt with Ahsoka being kidnapped in the padawan lost arc? He would never be able to deal with Ahsoka's loss in general, but especially so if he felt as though he hadn't prepared her well enough. (Imagine how much he probably blamed himself for not training her well enough after she left the Order-) So he pushes her to get up and train again and again even though in the trailer we see Ahsoka failing over and over because he knows he can't always be there to protect her and so he needs to teach her to protect herself. And it all ties back to Anakin's need to protect his loved ones, not only for their sake, but because he isn't able to live with himself when he does lose them.
