Excuse me???? How kriffin' dare you????! đđđ
Little boy falling đ
just watched revenge of the Sith and holy shit thatâs not a kids movie
also Anakin and killing kids just seemed like an inevitable development
Revenge of the 5th moment
I agree with many people that Anakinâs story was kind of poorly developed, especially in the movies. However, I think what we have seen shows how his motivations were strong enough to join the dark side and become Darth Vader.
Anakin had no father, literally, and only had his mother until he was ~10y/o.
He and his mother were slaves for Watto.
When Qui-gon discovered how high his midichlorian count was, his force sensitivity was made into a big deal.
Qui-gon believed very early on that Anakin was the Chosen One and that he would fulfill the prophecy of balancing the force.
Anakin had to say goodbye to his mother and leave the only home he ever knew to live with and be trained by strangers.
When Anakin was first brought before the High Jedi Council, they refused to allow him to be trained. His confidence was built up and broken down within such a short amount of time.
As one of the only men that believed in him and cared for him up until that point, Qui-gonâs death must have been heartbreaking to Anakin.
The only reason Yoda agreed to let Anakin into the Order was because Obi-wan basically threatened to leave the Order and take Anakin with him and train him without the councilâs supervision (and because he trusted Qui-gonâs judgement).
Anakin was raised by Obi-wan for the next 10 years, but probably in a very by-the-book way because Obi-wan was dedicated the the Jedi Code.
During this time, he was probably judged by everyone else in the Order. Everyone expected him to be the Chosen One. What do you think happened when Anakin failed at something? Made a mistake? He was probably held to such high expectations the rest of his childhood.
When he was 19, he saw force visions of his mother dying. He went back to Tatooine to find her just in time for her to die in his arms. He killed the entire village of Tusken Raiders out of rage, probably because he never had a place to vent his anger before. Jedi are taught not to let emotions control their actions, but for the first ~10 years of his life, he was raised differently. He probably had strong emotions but had to hide them to avoid further disappointment from his peers.
It is implied that Anakin was knighted because the Jedi Order didnât have enough Jedi knights to serve as generals in the Clone War. They admitted that he hadnât passed all of the trials but knighted him anyways. One of the most important achievements in any Jediâs life was falsified in Anakinâs case for the councilâs gain.
When the council entrusts him to train Ahsoka, and after he warms up to the idea of that responsibility, he grows very attached to Ahsoka. So when Cad Bane almost threw her out an airlock, she was almost killed by the Blue Shadow Virus, she was possessed (and killedÂż) by the Brother, she was kidnapped by Trandoshans, she was framed for murder, she was expelled from the Order, and when she left the Order and Anakin behind...Anakin felt responsible, heartbroken, and maybe even betrayed. He missed her and resented the council for her deciding to leave.
Not to mention when the council decided to have Obi-wan fake his death and go undercover to prevent Eval from kidnapping Palpatine. Anakin genuinely thought his master, the man who raised him, âthe closest thing [he had] to a father,â was dead. They had a funeral that Obi-wanâs closest friends and peers attended under the impression that it was real. After the missionâs success, Anakin finds out that the council lied to him in such a horrible and kind of unnecessary way.
Anakin also saw force visions of PadmĂ© dying. Not only was padmĂ© his wife and the love of his life, but she was also the mother of his unborn children. He wasnât just trying to save her, he was also trying to save the twins from dying. He had three lives at risk that he was desperate to save.
When Anakin is inducted into the Jedi Council, he isnât given the rank of master. This is the first time in the Jedi Orderâs history that a member of the council was not ranked as a master. If Anakin wasnât ready to be a master, he shouldnât have been accepted onto the council. Later, Windu tells Anakin that if his intel is correct then he will have âgained [his] trustâ meaning that Windu never truly trusted him before that.
So when Palpatine promises to help Anakin save PadmĂ©, supports Anakinâs decisions throughout the war, and seems to want to help him, Anakin grows close to him. Anakin depended on him.
In the end, he was deceived. Padmé was dead (he probably assumed his children were dead by extension), the Jedi were dead, he believed his former padawan was dead (probably at the hands of Rex, who he also probably thought was dead), his master had left him to die, his life was basically ruined, and all he had was a man that engineered his suit to constantly cause him pain to ensure that he would never overthrow him.
Anakinâs story is a tragedy, and itâs shown beautifully if you pay enough attention.
When Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader vs when Darth Vader became Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars is an epic poemđ„Č
Wait, what?
So you mean to tell me that PadmĂ© had this conversation with Anakin, displaying this body language, and she hadnât told him she was pregnant yet??
Itâs so intimate- and her hand on her obvious baby bump-
But itâs definitely before she told him she was pregnant because she didnât tell him until he got back to Coruscant from saving Chancellor Palpatine, which takes place in the Siege of Mandalore arc, after the Bad Batch arc.
Uhhhhh
Characters that had good intentions but fucked up methods
Morally grey
SPOILERS FOR THE AHSOKA SERIES!!!!!
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD????
AHHHHHHHHHH
Ahsoka using the world between worlds to explore the different events throughout her life where she regrets taking a certain pathâŠThinking that she regretted leaving the order and seeing what wouldâve happened if she had stayed⊠FINDING OUT THAT ANAKIN WOULDVE TURNED TO THE DARK SIDE ANYWAY BUT SHE WOULDVE HAD TO FIGHT HIMâŠAND PROBABLY DIED????
Remember her vision of her future self on Mortis? She was told that she âmay never see [her] future if [she] remain[ed] his student.â
If theyâre confirming that she would fight Anakin on Mustafar instead of Obiwan if she went back to the order, then sheâs probably going to lose that fight. Letâs be real, Anakin at that point had accepted the dark side and had already become Darth Vader. He was always more powerful but I think at this point Ahsoka might have been too hesitant to do what needed to be done like Obiwan did. Obiwan only went because Yoda forced him to. He said he could not kill Anakin, but Obiwan is unique in that his dedication to the Jedi Code is stronger than his attachments. He let Qui-gon, Satine, and eventually Anakin go despite loving all of them. I honestly donât know if Ahsoka at that point in her life would be able to handle Anakinâs betrayal. When Maul tells her that Anakin is Sidiousâ new apprentice, she was in denial. I doubt sheâd put all of her effort into the fight. If Anakin was willing to kill Mace Windu, younglings, Obi-wan, and force-choke Padme, then he wouldâve been willing to kill Ahsoka too, and I believe he does in this hypothetical weâre gonna see in the showâŠ
Iâm gonna cry when I see this omg
Had Padmé been 20-30 years older than anakin instead of 2-3 it wouldve fixed a significant portion of the franchise, including padmé's own chracterization
Happy birthday to međ€
Was supposed to be a warmup but ehâŠ
