(PS!!!! This image is INSANELY high resolution so if you want to print it (FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY) feel free to print off a copy to use as a poster!!! I've included a few different BG's for your convenience. Just show me what you do with it if you do print it!!! I'd love to see!!!)
The lengths I would go to to obtain this dress... It's so gorgeous!! Grrrr. The silhouette, the flowiness, the COLOR PALETTE??? The fact that it's b a c k l e s s?? She's beautiful. Anakin never stood a chance.
When Anakin lost his arm to Dooku's duel in AoTC end, he must've been so grateful to have his upper half arm and other full arm intact mainly to touch Padme, hold her, feel her, pull her in his arms, hug her, love her - everything Padme!
But at RoTS end, Anakin loses all his 4 limbs, arms and legs, the one remaining arm that could've still touched Padme, her cheek, her hair, her face. But after that point, Anakin and Padme NEVER see e/o, Padme dies and Anakin becomes Vader for his remaining life! As Vader thereon, I don't think he grievingly missed his arms that much emotionally (except to use lightsaber better etc, bcos he could still use Force and force-choke others thru his cybernetic arms) as he missed Padme and her touches and him touching her.
Only decades later, when he saves his son, their son, he might've had that stabbing grief and pain of not having an arm yet again after so long! - he couldn't even touch his son! couldn't touch his innocent young face, his blond hair like his father, pull him in an embrace, nothing! His son is right there in front of him but he can't feel him! Also his cybernetics are badly injured by now with Palpi's lightning so probably using them to hug Luke didn't work either. This makes Anakin's wish to *really see* Luke with his own eyes so much deeper and painful! That was the only thing he could do - feel him (and Padme through him) with his eyes! The amount of tender fatherly helpless love and affection Anakin must've felt for Luke in that moment is beyond imaginable! Plus the fact that he knew he was dying quickly so he intended to make the most of those few moments.
Godsss it is 03.45 am here now and I'm almost crying writing and thinking this. Bbye, will continue my cries and agonizing pain.
Hello friends, far and wide! It's official — Anidala Week 2026's theme is A Love Across Time. As we know, our favorite star-crossed lovers' wedding was introduced to us close to 25 years ago (which, how is that possible?), and their love has certainly transcended time! In keeping with the theme, the mods thought it was only fair to include prompts that span our canon Star Wars universe and the modern day.
Here is our official pictorial prompt calendar:
7/26 | Anidala Week Begins — Free Day
7/27 | 80s/90s/2000s / Fall of Jedi
7/28 | Medieval / Old Republic
7/29 | Victorian / High Republic
7/30 | Western / Age of Rebellion
7/31 | Futuristic / Rise of the First Order
8/01 | Anidala Week Ends — Free Day Celebration
8/02 | Raffle & Winner Announced and Contacted
In addition to seeing all the fun content Anidala Week 2026 will have, each entry (post) will count towards a raffle for two $25 Egift cards (VISA)!
Anidala Week is about creating all forms of ART for our favorite star-crossed lovers — so all forms of art are accepted! Whether it's illustrations, fics, edits, videos, or gifs— finished or a WIP, we want to see it posted and tagged so we can recognize your art! Be creative friends, and let your love for Anidala lead you! All eligible participants will be placed into our raffle, no matter the word count, no matter the media of choice.
Our new tag this year will be anidalaweek2026 — further details of how to make sure your entry will be valid are in our Carrd.
There's a much longer reminder of the canon universe timeline in the "keep reading" section, but we are so, so excited to announce this — we hope you love it, too!
For those who need a quick refresher on the Canon timeline (which would be mod shoobs, unfortunately), we've included this graphic and some reference points in case you're confused about what the in-universe time points mean. We've also included the Wookiepedia article pages as links in case you need an even closer look!
`ঔঌ. Day Two, 7/27 | Fall of Jedi (Linked to Republic Era)
Spans from 100 BBY to 19 BBY. Surrounds and centers on the Separatist Crisis, the Clone Wars, and the destruction of the Jedi Order through Order 66. For Movie reference, this is from Phantom Menace - Revenge of the Sith.
`ঔঌ. Day Three, 7/28 | Old Republic (The Sith Era)
Spans from 25,053 BBY (the founding of the Republic) to 1000 BBY (the Seventh Battle of Ruusan & End of New Sith Wars). Surrounds a period after the Great Galactic War, which forces the Galactic Republic & Sith Empire into a tense and fragile period of peace. Also includes the Birth of the Jedi & Republic, the Creation of the Sith, and the Rule of Two (For Sith). Game reference, these are Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II and Star Wars: The Old Republic, also the Disney non-canon Legends stories.
`ঔঌ. Day Four, 7/29 | High Republic
About 500 to 100 Years before the events of The Phantom Menace. Surrounds the golden age of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, with huge exploration, innovation, and peaceful expansion. The major threats were the Nihil (space marauders) and the Nameless, which are force-devouring entities. Show references are the Acolyte, Young Jedi Adventures, and many Legends High Republic comics and Novels.
`ঔঌ. Day Five, 7/30 | Age of Rebellion
Spans from 5 BBY to 4 ABY (or 5ABY depending on the reference). Also known as the Rebellion Era — it surrounds the organization of the Rebel Alliance and the galactic war against the Empire. For Show Reference, this is Andor and Star Wars Rebels, and Movie reference, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
Note: While technically this means Anakin has turned into Darth Vader in Canon, we will make an exception: any entries with Vaderdala on this specific day will be valid as long as you find a way to mix Anidala and Vaderdala. Please tag both if it's a fic entry!
`ঔঌ. Day Six, 7/31 | Rise of the First Order
Span from 34 ABY to 35 ABY. It chronicles the events of the Sequel Trilogy, where Imperial remnants turned into a dictatorship and put the galaxy into war. The First Order went public in 29 ABY, operating out of the Unknown Regions as a military junta guided by resurrected Palpatine.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns (especially if you're struggling with dates), please please please reach out to the mods! We are here for you guys, and are extremely excited to see what everyone comes up with.
There will be an extensive FAQ post on the blog before Anidala Week, covering all Egift card semantics, the qualifying rules, and a short reminder about our exception for Vaderdala entries on Day four, July 30th! May the Force be with you, Anidala Family — we will see you guys in about a month and a half!
PSA | Mod Shoobs (she/her (@shoobscantsleep) is in Central Standard Time (CST). Our Anidala Weeks Inbox is open, but if you're more comfortable doing it personally, reach out to her on Tumblr, TikTok, or Instagram!
