(Ahsoka, Season 1, Episode 5, Part I: Somewhere Out There — SNARK WARS)
Every so often I'm just like "wow Anakin really went and did all That right after Obi-Wan smiled at him and told him he was proud of him." It's just incredible to me.
If that had happened to me I for sure wouldn't have been able to run off and commit mass murder afterwards, because for one thing I'd be a pile of goo on the floor, trying to collect myself, for roughly the next 5 years.
I still laugh every time I remember that Anakin Skywalker, in canon, straight-up skipped out on a meditation retreat he was supposed to go to for work to go bother his wife at her office.
Did anyone else in the Order notice that Anakin didn’t attend this retreat? Was this an optional event? Was Anakin being specifically sent on it because let’s be real, if ANYBODY needed to be forcibly sent to a sleepaway camp to relax and reflect and nap and calm down it was ABSOLUTELY Anakin? Did Obi-Wan forge Anakin’s signature on the sign-in sheet for him? Or was Obi-Wan still out there fighting the war while Anakin was busy playing hooky and distracting Padme while she was trying to get actual work done?
I love that from the way fanon tells it Anakin was constantly suffocated by the demands of the Order, who are always nagging him and chastising him for not being a Perfect Jedi, when there’s like multiple canon instances of him just flat-out not doing his job and we basically never see him get anything more than an eyeroll or a Weary Sigh about it from anybody. Remember that one time in the first Clovis episode where Anakin is hanging out at Padme’s apartment and then eventually drags his ass back to the Temple, and we find out Obi-Wan called him like SEVEN TIMES before this and NOBODY EVEN ASKS WHERE THE FUCK HE WAS??? LOL. Anakin faces fewer consequences for fucking off of work completely than some poor office drone working at a law firm in one of the high-rises on Coruscant does for taking an extra-long lunch hour. 😂
Obi-Wan told Anakin he was proud of him and smiled at him and he looked super handsome while doing so and then Anakin really immediately went and did all T H A T, huh.
Recurring Theme: Anakin Skywalker, Deadbeat Employee
OH MY GOD. OK, so the next chapter literally begins — I am not exaggerating — with Padme SENSUALLY FEEDING ANAKIN SPACE GRAPES. It’s somehow even better and funnier that ANAKIN’S the one being fussed over here like some kind of fancy princess, because OF COURSE HE IS. JFC, Skywalker. Just to reiterate: Obi-Wan was off gathering important information that could save countless lives at great personal risk, and in the meantime Anakin was off BEING FED GRAPES IN BED BY HIS SECRET WIFE. I promise I’m laughing as I say this? But FUCK YOU, ANAKIN.
