Can't live without my obsessions @sarcika - Tumblr Blog

The first half of Wheel of Time from a peasant's perspective is basically "yeah the new king is fucking freaky and angry all the time and always looks at you like he's deciding whether to eat your heart, but my taxes went down by 85% and the road to town got completely repaved. The noble who used to own my land got hanged for something or other so it's actually mine now. Also all the chickens I've hatched this year have had two heads."

I mourn the character Ahsoka could have been every day.

She's such a perfect character to explore the Jedi that were forged in the war (that was created to destroy them). The only character where this is mildly relevant is Cal, I suppose, but he was too young to have been truly CREATED in war the way Ahsoka was ESPECIALLY because of who her master was.

Anakin taught her to be a warrior, a commander, a soldier. He taught her to be one of the most proficient martial artists in the order but almost entirely neglected to teach her what being a Jedi is actually about. She learned some of those lessons through other characters (Aayla, Plo, Master Sinube etc.) but in her 14-year-old mind Anakin was still the "cool" master who while being non-traditional still taught her everything she needed (not true. He was already a mass murderer who had slaughtered children much younger than her before they even met.)

But she was a KID, and he was her older brother. Of course, she idolized him and was willing to overlook the issues that he clearly had.

And then the order falls, and suddenly, she realizes she has no real connection to their teachings anymore. Not in the way she should. She can kill an Inquisitor without a weapon in 3 seconds but she has no idea how to healthily cope with what happened to her because Anakin's method of helping her through the war was distracting her and framing it like a game (well-meaning but ultimately damaging).

He could never teach her to let go because he wasn't able to either. Other survivors remember their masters teachings about being able to move on and find new light but the example Ahsoka's master set was denying that anything bad could happen, taking revenge if it did and clinging onto everyone he loves in terror of it happening again.

This is also why I think Ahsoka saying "then I will avenge his death" / "I'm no Jedi" is SO interesting because unlike Luke and Obi-Wan who were willing to accept that Vader IS Anakin and let go of their fear and hate, Ahsoka accepts Anakin's false framing of him "having killed Anakin", so that she can view Vader as a boogeyman and let her anger and pain out on him without having to accept that he truly is her master.

She rejects her Jedi teachings and culture in favor of a brother who betrayed her. She would rather throw away the title and values of her murdered people than blame Anakin for what he did (this is also continued in the Ahsoka show. He was not a good master, Ahsoka).

I WISH that her show was set after Malachor and was a character-focused story about her being able to let go of Anakin and accept that he wasn't a good person and putting in the work to embrace the Jedi's teachings and be able to become what Anakin never could.

palpatine, giggling to himself: sheevs you sly dog you’ve done it again

I think every night palps has an hour where he seals himself up in a soundproof room and thinks of all the games he played that day, and laughs and laughs and kicks his feet

that is not just a clone who's brothers he fought alongside with for years, who were his friends, who ultimately tried to kill him. it's also not just a clone of the 501st, who was under anakin's command, who obi wan may have met personally at some point.

this is also the face of the man he loved. the face of the man with whom he hoped he'd grow old with.

now he sees this aged clone and for a moment he gets a glimpse of the future he had once dreamed of and had to banish from his mind forever.
