Anti- Anakin fans think they are Anakin´s biggest haters but in reality Anakin is the founder member of the art of hating Anakin :)

ROTS TRAGEDY

The combat between the Jedi Council and Darth Sidious on Palpatine´s offices was just an scenario to turn Anakin to the darkside, just like the Death Star II was an scenario to turn Luke, if Palpatine didn´t felt that Anakin approached while dueling Mace he would have just activated Order 66 to kill Mace and sent the clone army agaisn´t the Jedi temple and probably, told them to capture Anakin and Padme to get Anakin´s kids.

The tragedy in ROTS is that it´s already too late since the start of the movie, Palpatine only needed to turn Anakin to the darkside but he already had the army and the Senate under his control, the Empire was already active in all but name, he didn´t need Anakin to create the Empire, he never did but he wanted the chosen one´s force power to get greater acess to the force at it´s hightest levels, think about Mortis or the World between worlds force levels.

For every "Anakin shouldn't have been redeemed blah blah Luke is stupid blah blah SW has a bad message because it teach to forgive abusers blah blah" I draw one more Luke hugging his dad, or one more Padmé bloodsucking her husband

Me: Yeah, I'm gonna Log off the internet for the so called "touch grass" sentiment and stop seeing bad fandom takes.

My sister: Anakin had darkness in him since he was a kid, which is why he shouldn't have been trained. And Obi-Wan suffered and Anakin was ungrateful to him.

…OHHH FUCKK DUDEEE-!! He’s pulling the “you’re my dad, so you won’t harm/kill me/hand me over” AND IT’S NOT WORKINHGHGG FUVCCKKK MMEEEE-!! Oh honey, that’s soooo~ freaking sad he believes himself dead and gone, no one to obey but his master the emperor. Shit dude. Fucking crazy shit.

I don't think that fans understand that if Obi-Wan's sad sobbing backstory in these Jedi Padawan/Quest series of books were true, it would make him look worse in the movies, it would mean that despite having a lot of common with Anakin (allegedly, because two weeks of slavery aren't comparable to 10, among many other things), despite being othered and rejected over and over, he still chose to be an ass and suck as a mentor.

And not even in a fun "this is an abuse cycle" way!

I do think is funny tho, these books are used to excuse everything about Obi-Wan's behavior, but Anakin is demonized and people jump onto you if you imply his issues are rooted on trauma.

Of course Anakin's crimes aren't justified, and of course Obi-Wan never did anything as abhorrent as Anakin's crimes. But if you dare to imply Obi-Wan was less than stellar, or god forbid, emotionally abusive, people will come to you in drones citing these damg books like they're an excuse lol

Coughing baby vs Hydrogen bomb type of argument. But I'm not here to say Anakin is the lesser of evils, I'm not here to say Vader didn't do anything wrong, but see that's the issue, because once you point the systemic failures that led to Vader existing, people will cry and howl that you're defending fascism or some bullshit.

But Obi-Wan didn't do wrong, never. Obi-Wan exists separated from this evil system. Obi-Wan is a bubble of goodness unaffected by the corrupting powers of evils, despite suffering almost as much as Anakin. Obi-Wan's little flaws are actually because he suffered just so much.

Having bad parents, having abusive or neglectful parents isn't a excuse for evil. But that doesn't mean they're free of all or any blame in how they shaped a person.

Is not Obi-Wan's fault Anakin was groomed, not directly, sure. Sure. But he sucked ass as a "parent", and as a brother too. He didn't want that kid, he's like the older brother being forced to take care of his half brother because their dad kicked the bucket. And now he resents the kid because he's saddled with a giant responsibility, except he's the one who actively made that choice.

It's fundamentally toxic, the fundation was doomed at the start. And there's always room for improvement, heck, their relationship seemed to start to improve a bit by ROTS, when Anakin was an adult and ironically drifting away from needing Obi-Wan emotionally. And at that moment it was too late and it all went down in flames.

But that isn't a excuse for Obiwoobie Kenobie, but he was so good guys, he had no flaws and no blame and he's just a victim and the universe was against him since day 1.

luke skywalker figured this shit out in 1991 yet there's still people who do not understand the fundamental problem with the jedi/republic relationship in the pt

Some Star Wars fans honestly argue that because Anakin used his status as a slave to save Jar Jar from Sebulba, it proves slavery "wasn't a trauma or a problem for him."

I’m sorry(not sorry), but that is a wild take.

Anakin is naive in TPM, but he is far from stupid. Understanding how your oppressive system works and using its own messed-up rules to protect someone weaker doesn't mean you're fine with it. It means you're surviving.

Dynamic adaptation to trauma ≠ lack of trauma

By this logic, we can comfortably claim that Vader never suffered either. I mean, why would he? He’s essentially Palpatine's slave, yet he constantly and calmly uses his position, power, and fear factor to get what he wants. Does that look like a man without trauma to you?

Though, if we’re talking about Filoni’s TCW Anakin, he probably wouldn't care even as Vader, but that’s a whole different conversation about canon and character consistency
