I just realized something about Anakin's supposed "morbid jealousy."

I know it's often said that Anakin was always extremely jealous and possessive, but the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that most of the examples we have occur in very specific and rather manipulated situations.

For example, in Episode II, when Padmé mentions Palo as her first love, Anakin clearly gets a little jealous. But… he also ends up laughing. A normal reaction for any 19-year-old with no romantic experience.

Then there's Clovis. Well… we all know how that ended 😅. But Clovis had a history with Padmé, he was overly friendly, and he was too persistent…

In Episode III, with Obi-Wan, things don't seem as simple as "Anakin was irrationally jealous" either. According to the novelization, he hadn't slept for WEEKS (do you know how that affects the human psyche?) nightmares about Padmé's death, Palpatine whispering in her ear… even whispering that Obi-Wan and Padmé were seeing each other in secret.

(Logistics! Obi-Wan and Anakin were the duo. Ahsoka was Anakin's Padawan. When they weren't on missions, Anakin was between Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Padmé. Obi-Wan had his Jedi Council meetings. And Padmé? Between politics, committees, meetings… her schedule barely had room for ONE secret relationship, much less TWO. Yes, in real life people lead double lives, have two families, and all that, but the schedules just don't add up here.)

Another detail that's almost never mentioned… Padmé had male friends. Allies. Coworkers. The main one was Bail Organa. Yes, he was married, but for someone with irrational jealousy, that wouldn't matter. Padmé and Bail got along well; they were friends and talked often.

Let's get to the extended material. As I understand it, both Sabé and Gregar Typo were in love with Padmé. Typo was Padmé's head of security, and obviously, he also spent time with her. I doubt Anakin didn't know or suspect this.

At no point do we see him lose his temper in these situations. And yes, you might say that not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But the opposite can also be applied. We can't automatically assume that Anakin was equally irrationally jealous of everyone close to Padmé, not when we have three examples: one mentioned in passing, one where he had reasons to be upset by a man who kept overstepping boundaries, and the last where he was sleepless, starving, and being manipulated.

More than jealousy itself, what Anakin has is the fear of losing the people he loves, of them getting hurt, etc. I think it's important to make this distinction… but I'd also like to know if anyone else agrees or disagrees with me.

Rewatching the Clone Wars and seeing Captain Typho actually look like Jay Laga'aia and then seeing the Clones look like someone's recollection of seeing Temura Morrison walk down the street 10 years prior is making me mad

#they look nothing like him...#they have Temura Morrison elements to them but they don't look like him!#someone must have like Gregar Typho on the design team #gotta have this basically background character be accurate but not the clones that are everywhere and are secondary characters #captain typho #gregar typho #clone troopers
