When Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader vs when Darth Vader became Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars is an epic poemš„²
Wait, what?
So you mean to tell me that PadmĆ© had this conversation with Anakin, displaying this body language, and she hadnāt told him she was pregnant yet??
Itās so intimate- and her hand on her obvious baby bump-
But itās definitely before she told him she was pregnant because she didnāt 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
Yesss sirrrš©
Frat boy anakin could spit in my mouth and iād thank him
Why Bradley Bradshaw is Anakin Skywalker
Foreword: This is a weird overlap in fandoms, but this is something that Iāve been thinking about for weeks now and I canāt get it out of my head: so you, the fine people of Tumblr shall be my audience as I stand on my virtual soapbox and preach about hot angsty men!
When I first watched Top Gun: Maverick, something about Bradley didnāt sit right with me. He was irritating and annoying, with his displaced anger and bratty personality. It was so confusing to me: Gooseās son shouldnāt be such a whiny little kid.
The more I sat with it, the more I came to compare him with Anakin.
Anakin is also known for his displaced anger and bratty personality. Itās written off as poor writing, but seeing it on another character is a totally different experience.
Anakin is frustrated that he was kept from becoming a Jedi Master by Obi-Wan, despite his skills and everything heās been through.
Bradley is frustrated that Maverick prevented him from getting into the Naval Academy, despite everything he had been through and how badly he wanted it.
Anakin never met his dad, and his mother died when he needed her the most.
Bradley was so little when Goose died that I doubt he remembers much of him, and his mother died before Bradley was out of high school.^1
Theyāre both sexy pilots with father figures they despise.
Go watch Revenge of the Sith, then watch Top Gun: Maverick and think about it like that. It makes a lot more sense and both characters are a bit more bearable if you look at them through the lens of a scared kid whose life isnāt in their control.
Plus theyāre both hot and sexy
^1 We donāt actually know when Carole dies, but she makes Maverick promise to keep Bradley from becoming a pilot, so it makes sense for it to be some time before heās an adult, most likely when he is starting to think about college.
Bonus pictures because I love them!
