padmes queen voice being artificially lowered in post to sound like the origin for Vader's low pitch and accent is crazy it makes me crazy that he was in that suit learning how to be a person again in a medical torture device & was like i guess i will mimic my dead wife's intonation she used in her stint as child queen to legitimise myself as the emperor's freaky cyborg wizard sonwife

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

anakin is neither bad at flirting nor is he sauve. anakin's mode of operation is what's internal is exactly expressed as external. you will not find him "acting" or "failing to act" in a certain way. he only acts the way he feels.

one of the most beautiful star wars parallels i'm afraid. skybridger would have such power if they actually met in canon bc they're canonically moon and sun atp...

Today I’m thinking about Depa Billaba and her experience with depression in both legends and canon.

In legends she goes on a mission to the planet Haruun Kal during the early Clone Wars, and there she turns to the dark side. It isn’t because she wants power, it’s because she despairs over the horrors of war. She’s constantly plagued by nightmares and migraines and she’s barely able to get out of bed. Her despair leads her to commit atrocities, and she even duels her former master Mace Windu during a final battle for Haruun Kal. Realising what she has become, she places her lightsaber to her head and tries to kill herself. At the last second she’s stopped but she falls into a comatose state from which she never wakes. Mace says that selfishly he would’ve rather lost the battle of Haruun Kal if it meant he could’ve saved Depa. She was his Padawan, his best friend, and the daughter he’d never have.

In canon Depa also goes to Haruun Kal during the Clone Wars, but instead of turning to the dark side she suffers a great defeat at the hands of general Grievous. She loses 90% of her battalion on top of receiving life threatening injuries herself, which leads to her falling into a coma. After six long months she’s finally woken up by the precence of a young Caleb Dume. Whispers go around the temple and in the army that she’s now ”damaged goods” incapable of leading soldiers in battle. Depa of course feels guilt and responsibility for the lives lost on Haruun Kal. It’s the presence of Caleb Dume, the youngling she now takes on as an apprentice, which reignites hope and purpose in her life. Even if their time as master and padawan is cut short because of order 66, Depa’s legacy and teachings live on in Caleb, now Kanan Jarrus, as well as in his own padawan Ezra Bridger.

In legends there is no Caleb Dume, Depa never wakes up, Mace never gets his daughter back and their legacy dies alongside the Jedi order.

it just occurred to me that darth vader, master engineer, probably looked at the death star plans at some point and noticed the flaw, but didn’t bother to tell anyone about it because he despised everyone who was involved in the project

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

You know how when the zygerria arc comes up theres always a bunch of people saying things like why would you allow a former slave go on slave ring busting mission, Anakin has slave trauma he shouldn't be there fighting slavery? Idk exactly what that says about The Culture (as in our culture rn) and attitudes towards trauma and the survivors of violence, but i think it says something.

As far as I'm concerned, Anakin expressed one motive for joining the jedi as a child, and that was freeing slaves, and the fact that a galactic war broke out and he spent his short career as a soldier instead of carrying out a hundred zygerria missions- that's a tragedy, actually.

Fic where post-O66 Ahsoka hooks up (metaphorically) with Bo-Katan for safety as she finds her footing, deviating almost immediately into Ahsoka debating Bo on the realities of fascism and pretty much always winning since Jedi training is like 10% Debate Team and Bo went to the school of brainwashing

Then it turns into hooking up literally but first they have to argue about politics in a way that has Bo-Katan absolutely eating shit
