just started hotd and i'm already finding it a little tragic that rhaenyra was only okay with being seemingly unimportant after her father had a son because it meant she would then get to spend more time with alicent and be 'comfortable'. you can already tell how much alicent means to her. and in return alicent tries to pry rhaenyra's true feelings out because she cares so much

you can tell both girls want something entirely different for their lives than what's in store for them, but it never matters what they want because of 'duty'

girlie that's not a random headache u are dehydrated malnourished over caffeinated over stressed and sleep deprived

[lamaenthel]

[swprequels]

does everyone forget that padmé was right about anakin? like her belief in his goodness isn’t born out of her silly girl brain not knowing any better. she died giving voice to the climax of return of the jedi. she was not wrong for trusting his innate goodness would win out because she was proven right in return of the jedi. padmé was literally right. everyone else including anakin was wrong and padmé (and luke) were right

[writerbuddha]

The problem with this "Padmé and Luke were right and everyone else was wrong" is that it refuses to engage with how Good and Evil are presented in George Lucas' Star Wars. And this diminishes Padmé's compassion, wisdom, courage and importance.

There is no real conflict between Luke and Padmé and Yoda and Obi-Wan. In Episode III, Padmé says it herself: "Obi-Wan was right. You've changed" and that "I don't know you anymore." As Lucas says it, too: "Padmé saw right through him immediately. She said, “You’re not the person I married. You’re a greedy person.” and "It’s Padmé’s reaction to him that [makes Anakin understand], "You’re turned into a horrible monster.” And in Episode VI, Luke himself states, his father is on the bad side of the Force, he doesn’t entertain the idea that he is not evil, i.e that he is not consumed by his dark side. Both Padmé and Luke declare, there's good in him - but that's actually in line with everything Yoda and Obi-Wan are teaching to Luke.

George Lucas' Star Wars rejects the notion that Good and Evil are mutually exclusive, that true Evil doesn’t allow for any Good to reside in a person, but if there is even a drop of Good within them, they’re not truly Evil. Both Yoda and Obi-Wan are very clear in every single time that the culprit behind Vader's evil behavior, what consumed him, is fear, anger, hate and aggression. This is what makes Darth Vader evil is that he is under the sway of his dark side. And the core of Yoda's teachings is that what you resent in others, it's also within you. This is what Luke understands in Episode VI, resisting Sidious when he urges him to kill his father: he chooses compassion, which is unconditional love, instead of fear, anger, hate and aggression, just as he was taught by the Jedi Masters. As Lucas confirms, “[Vader’s] son saved him by doing the very thing that Vader couldn’t do. Luke wouldn’t turn to the dark side, and unfortunately, that’s what Vader did.” "Luke is not trying to get some magic potion. He does not accept the Emperor’s offer of 'Come to the dark side, and you can be all-powerful.’ When Vader see’s his son willing to give up his life to save him - "Kill me. I am not going that way not matter what” - that is what turns him. It is the end of Vader’s journey to the dark side.“

This is the lesson, as George Lucas confirms: "Even the worst, most evil people find compassion. Darth Vader has compassion for his children, and that’s ultimately what children are for.” It's not that "Darth Vader wasn't truly evil." The question is not whether or not Darth Vader is evil - he is - or whether or not there is a possibility or a potential for him to turn back into Anakin Skywalker, the good man who kept his dark side under the check of his light side - there is. The question is: will Darth Vader choose his good side over the bad?

The truth is, Obi-Wan and Yoda are not denying that there is still good in Vader - in accordance to their worldview and the cosmology of Star Wars - but they’re both skeptical about whether this means that Vader can be turned back to the light side of the Force, and they believe, Luke will be forced to kill his father if he is about to save the galaxy. Luke chooses to risk it: he takes a leap of faith. As Lucas says, "The mission isn't for Luke to go out and kill his father and get rid of him. The issue is, if he confronts his father again, he may, in defending himself, have to kill him, because his father will try to kill him." and that "[Ben] knows a confrontation is brewing between Luke and his father. Ben hopes Luke will either save his father or kill him, because whatever extra powers Luke's got in his lineage, he is the one person that can probably fight his father and win."

It would be important to notice that Padmé embodies many of the central teachings of the Jedi in the trilogy, (next to Shmi). She is, in fact, has the same knowledge as Yoda and Obi-Wan - this dimension of her character should be recognized, not ignored or worse, denied.

padme and luke were right and everyone else was wrong

[ljones41]

Why do you people try to simplify morality? Try to compartmentalize it? Does this make facing morality - even that within yourselves - more easier for you?

I love finding anidala moments in the sw comics

From the Prologue of Leia, Princess of Alderaan:

[spaceoddly-deactivated20190222]

friendly reminder that anakin closes his eyes several moments before he dies so that luke is the last thing he sees.  anakin looks into the eyes of a son who loves him unconditionally and truly finds peace.  luke’s voice begins to fade and with his son’s face serving as his final memory, anakin lets himself slip away to the meadows of naboo.  he finds padmè waiting for him.

[the-far-bright-center]

“And this memory brought a wave of other memories with it. Memories of brotherhood, and home. The freedom of space. Obi-Wan. His dear wife…

Suddenly he smelled something— flared his nostrils, sniffed once more. Wildflowers, that was what it was. Just blooming, it must be spring.

And there was thunder— he cocked his head, strained his ears. Yes, spring thunder, for a spring rain. To make the flowers bloom.”

—James Kahn, RotJ novelization

sorry, i love her but padme can't cook. she can't, there's just no way. she's probably had a private chef her entire life. she's brilliant and compassionate but she couldn't cook her way out of a wet paper bag. whenever i think about anidala, in any of those ROTS fix-it AUs, i think about, like, if padme lets go of her house staff on account of her husband having some concerns—i think a sense of self-reliance is pretty prioritized in the order, they don't pay staff to do the domestic work of the temple, they do it themselves—she's a go-getter, she is a compulsive workaholic, she can master cooking. she tries to cook an onion she hasn't peeled at nearly the temperature you're boil water at. in another instance she opened the oven door, forgot it was open, and walked into it, which means in the space emergency room padme has to tell a man with a straight face that she walked into an oven. i think her knife skills are 60% arrogance 40% sheer dumb luck, she tosses the knife around while she talks, she cuts toward herself, and she thinks mincing garlic is slapping a knife on a garlic clove until it's unrecognizable. the issue is that padme is stubborn, a perfectionist, and hates being wrong, so she only attempts cooking more often the more it implodes. but it is destined to implode. the only reason padme stops trying to cook and just agrees that anakin can take that chore is because watching padme handle a knife stresses him out so badly his blood pressure hits stroke risk range. like, i cannot emphasize enoug, i denand that padme has to stop trying to cook not because anakin asked her to, but because anakin is so massively stressed just watching her cook that it becomes medically necessary. he can't do it alone. he has to take a xanax if she's so much as using the toaster oven
