Peepaw ain't a bad guy, you just had to talk to him

When Steve tells Bucky "I had him on the ropes", that's him kind of making fun of himself by the way. He's being lighthearted. He doesn't actually believe he would have won against that guy. It's not arrogance, it's called a joke.

I personally don't get people that claim Episodes I and II don't provide enough details of Anakin's descent into darkness, and that III 'rushes' his ultimate fall.

Episode I is critical to show his traumatic separation from his mom and the loss of his ideal teacher, which leaves him very vulnerable to his fears. Episode II shows him losing his mother, blaming himself for it, and vowing to become powerful enough to never, EVER again lose someone he loves. At any cost.

This directly feeds into his manic anxiety over the dreams in Episode III, which is exploited by Palpatine. And on top of that, he's been through three years of constant war. I think the accumulation of these factors all coming to a head in III is pretty believable.

Sometimes it just takes one absolutely TERRIBLE week to make a person's fragile mind finally snap.

Why tf is the Jedi Temple on Coruscant? That’s like the fucking Vatican being in Vegas?

[the-far-bright-center]

That’s the whole point. Coruscant represents the extravagance and decay, the disparities of greed and poverty. It represents the rot at the center of the Republic. The Jedi Temple may have been constructed prior to the point at which Coruscant ended up in such a state, but by the time of the Twilight of the Republic, it is essentially an ivory tower that is far removed from both the natural world and from the people of the galaxy.

the one interpretation i always thought was obvious but never actually saw expressed by other sw fans is that anakin's unconventional birth circumstances are the force sending the message in more ways than one. so the force didn't like siths messing up with it and sent anakin to the jedi to counter that. yes, as some kind of WMD but also. anakin being born on the backwards planet with slavery abandoned by the republic. due to this the jedi order wasn't able to detect him thus anakin brought up to the temple "too old". the very existence of anakin exposes the republics and the jedi orders flaws. it's a litmus test, a call/forewarning from the force itself for the republic/the jedi order to reckon with it's own rot or perish. that's the only way anakin could be their savior. the only way for anakin to preserve his faith in the republic and the jedi order. practically, revolutionize and be aided by the chosen one against the sith or die by his hand in your arrogance. we know which route was taken. if only they took anakin's status as the chosen one more seriously. instead the jedi order with the republic did nothing to accommodate anakin. instead of self critique they decided that it's anakin who's wrong in his feelings and reactions to the world, not them. that's it's the child who's corrupt due to his traumatic living experience not the institutions that let it happen and don't lift a finger to stop it. the jedi order refusing to face the signal for the change did it's best to mold anakin into a mere tool, just a cog in their war machine. thus stripping him of traits he used to have as a kid on tatooine: an independent moral code, the belief in the republic and the jedi order. so the darth vader was born.

[komsomolka]

i often see the (wrong) take that anakin was always some kind of sith cuckoo in jedi nest. it can't be more wrong because anakins existence is one triumph card which was given to jedi to stop their unpreventable doom otherwise. but they failed to 'activate' it. that's entirely on jedi order because in this meta context anakin is a messianic demigod figure which judgement is above theirs narratively. the fact that in the end of the saga anakin accomplished his role of an savoir under different approach proves it.

[mirrorofliterature]

when will people learn that anakin is never taken to be trained as a jedi does not equal republic saved???

the fucking chancellor sith lord???

i find it so funny when people are like, "i hate anakin skywalker because he's a fascist," but their analysis of anakin and the main themes of sw boils down to "the force somehow created an ontologically evil child who can't be helped and who the ontologically good jedi should have just killed and the ending of rotj is bad," and what can i say to those people? you're a fascist. you're literally a fascist. *sigh* okay, maybe i'm being a bit too harsh, but the idea that there are certain people or groups of people who are pure evil from birth, can't be helped and should be excluded from society/killed is a fascist rhetoric. congratulations, moron. you're the dumbest bitch on earth.

i don't think anakin should be love by everyone or shouldn't be criticized, but damn, if you're going to use some terms, at least make sure you don't water them down and know their actual meaning and the history behind them, and don't just throw around buzzwords.

anyway. it's not really funny, it's quite sad.

the Jedi were wrong

the Jedi were wrong. They’re not evil the Sith are worse but the Jedi’s of the prequels were wrong now I don’t hate them but they made mistakes they have flaws just like anyone else they’re not gods just people Obiwan failed with Anakin doesn’t mean Vader is better it means Obiwan made a mistake which is fine even better he made MANY mistakes but still that is not the point of this post I can go into obiwan as a teacher another day.

Pretty messed up that the ATLA movie depicted Sokka as a coward for a gag when in the very first episode he stood up to an entire Fire Nation warship with nothing but a spear and boomerang.
