22 Reasons Why Anakin Didn't Leave the Order
He was a slave, bought and paid for. Slaves don’t escape their masters (not without blowing up). He isn’t free to leave. (he doesn’t leave until he finds a new master to kneel to) (and even then his old master throws him into a pit of lava, which, close equivalent to explosion) (actually, it would have been quicker to have died an escaped slave on Tatooine).
His mother told him not to look back (Tatooine is no home to him. He hates chafing sand, searing heat, blinding light. But, his mother. Oh, his mother).
Qui-Gon Jinn told him he was destined to prophecy, to be the Chosen One. Qui-Gon might not be there to free the slaves, but one day Anakin will be able to save everyone.
He entered his first war zone when he was 9 and was crucial to ending the conflict, of course he thinks he can’t leave.
Qui-Gon Jinn’s dying wish was for Obi-Wan to train him to be a Jedi.
Anakin wants to support Obi-Wan, who lost his master to a sith, leaving one sith still out there, still plotting.
He is lonely and alone and cold in the Jedi Temple. He is still safer than he ever was in his mother’s arms.
He can’t see any other way of living for a very long time. There is no need to find one until Padme comes back into his life.
Inside him, there is still the child that longed to see every star in the sky up close. Being a jedi means those trips mostly involve death and destruction, but its still more than a slave boy from Tatooine could ever hope to touch.
He likes helping people.
He is good at it. He is good at fighting and flying and tactics and killing. The very reason he succeeds are the reasons he is not fit for the role.
He is not good at it. He is not good at calm and meditation and conflict resolution and detachment. The very reasons he fails are the reasons he isn’t able to see.
Anakin loves sticking it to Mace Windu, who would in fact have half as many headaches if Anakin was no longer his direct problem and thus daydreams about an Anakin-free Order. Anakin will pull the Order down around himself before he gives Mace that kind of satisfaction (Anakin does in fact pull the Order down around himself before he gives Mace that kind of satisfaction)
(Service Corps did not exist in the main film canon. Stop saying he could have done that. That is not an option presented to us in the movies)
The Separatists keep trying to kill Padme. He refuses to give up his legal right to murder people who try to kill his wife. It is in his top 5 favorite things. (in order; 1. Listen to Padme speak, 2. Touch Padme and be touched by her, 3. Fly, 4. Murder people who try to kill Padme, 5. Spar with Obi-Wan and Ashoka)
He doesn’t want to have to choose. Why can’t he have it all? What is the point of being the odd man out, the special one, the scapegoat, if he can’t?
Palpatine would never let him leave. He enjoys waiting until his apprentices are taught most, if not all, of the way before swooping in and subsuming them, killing old ways of thought and infecting with his own (insidious by name and nature). The Jedi also give him a foil, a constant source of antagonism and fear that makes Anakin that much more desperately loyal to Palpatine.
A Jedi has a position of power and authority that feels pretty secure to a former(?) slave.
He has the 501st and Ashoka to look after, and then just the 501st.
He is wound so tight that thinking of getting off is dizzying. He is actually managing all of these spinning plates just fine actually, it's just an off week, there is no way this is going to come crashing down around him.
His pride is bruised and leaving feels like tucking his tail and cowering. He just saved the Chancellor and prevented Separatist victory. Like fuck is he leaving now.
He is scared.
i managed to find The Good He Seeks by orphan_account in my bookmarks, I'm glad the fics were orphaned rather than deleted at least.
Btw thanks for reblogging so many husborth posts because now your reblogs are basically an archive lol
You're welcome! One of my other fandoms (and the one I was most involved in before I came to SW) is a livestream-based one where streams disappear from Twitch after a couple of months at most, so archiving potentially-lost media is kind of always at the forefront of my mind nowadays 😅 Having worked in fan archiving projects (and in my case specifically, wiki-editing) does things to someone
Does anyone know why husborth deactivated?
luke’s scene in rotj where he throws down his lightsaber and says, “I’ll never turn to the dark side. you failed, your highness. i am a jedi, like my father before me,” makes me more and more emotional each time i see it. it’s such a triumph and it’s such a brave stand—not only because luke is literally facing down death with no real expectations of escaping the death star ii, which on its own has such impact—but because he is more or less declaring himself a heretic. the only two jedi left alive do not believe vader can be saved. vader himself believes he is far past saving. palpatine is so poised for victory, so assured in his complete control over not only luke’s fall but also his control over vader, that he is happy to torture luke in front of vader, absolutely convinced that vader will do nothing to stop it. in light of the prequel trilogy, it’s made even more powerful: the jedi disavowed having children as an extension of attachments, a matter of course for the old jedi order. but when luke is in his moment of greatest need, he calls out to his father, and his father answers. ultimately, it’s their forbidden familial relationship that defines them as jedi—luke becomes a jedi in honor of his father, and his father turns back from the dark side (a feat thought impossible until that very instance) and recalls the jedi knight anakin skywalker, all for his son. and that’s all in defiance of what the jedi were told to be, what obi-wan and yoda believed, what palpatine never thought possible! luke redefines what a jedi is when he throws down his weapon. he trusts in the power of his connection to his father, their attachment to each other, and when he does that? luke skywalker topples the empire as a new, different type of jedi.
