Dark Side Of The Force - Tumblr Posts

I find it curious that in a lot of Always-a-Sith!Anakin fanfics Vaderkin loses (or has already lost) an arm. Not a problem, but something I’ve noticed and I don’t fully understand the reasoning behind the choice to keep that part of canon?

Anakin loses his arm in AotC because George Lucas wanted to show that he was beginning his path toward the Dark Side, or so I’ve heard. Also, Anakin loses his arm as a reckless Jedi Padawan while fighting a Sith. No way would Darth Sidious have allowed his apprentice to be so reckless as to lose an arm due to overconfidence and anger.

Quite a few of the Sith!Anakins end up being redeemed and turn to the Light, so the symbolism doesn’t really make sense to me.

Edit: @thejusticelegacy gives a good explanation for keeping the robotic arm in their reblogging of this post.

Some Darkside!Cal Kestis I drew earlier, finally got my markers back. The Nova Garon mission was so awesome, definitely one of my favourite parts of the game.

Darth Vader by Anato Finnstark

“Every man, woman, and child on Nathema died that day. Every beast, bird, and fish; all the insects and plants; every living being touched by the Force was consumed. When the ritual ended, Nathema was no longer a world. It was a husk sucked dry. Lord Vitiate sacrificed millions, stealing their life force to make himself immortal.”
