Sith Anakin - Tumblr Posts
TECHNICALLY I was SUPPOSED to post this with the matching padme one but that’s not going to be done for a while so take this in the meantime 🥲🥲🥲

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.
sith au fic idea: weird force shit pulls the sith versions of anakin, obi-wan, and ahsoka into canon during the clone wars
for some reason they can’t come back until the war is over, so they end up bunking with the jedi after it’s confimed that they’re from another dimension and aren’t about to kill everyone
and the sith version of obi-wan freaks the order out the most because it’s nearly impossible to tell him apart from the jedi version
the sith version of anakin is noticeably more savage and impulsive, the sith version of ahsoka is cruel in a way the jedi version isn’t, and then there’s sith obi-wan
he speaks and talks and gestures like the jedi version, he has the same sense of humor, the only way to tell them apart is if he drops the glamour concealing the red of his eyes
the jedi versions of ahsoka and anakin watch this man that looks like their master casually torture and kill and can’t help wondering how much darkness their obi-wan hides

Star Wars Question
I've been thinking about this for some time and wonder if anyone knows the answer. So in Episode VI you see Anakin's force ghost along with Yoda and ObiWan.
You can early see that Anakin is young unlike Yoda and Obi Wan...why though...why is his force ghost young Anakin. He died an old man. Is this marking a clear split is his character between Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader? That only Anakin could be a force ghost given that Darth Vader gave in to the dark side and no sith, as far as I know I could be wrong, has been seen as a force ghost.
