It’s Padme Week and the 500th post on DSWCP, so here is the cutest Anidala moment in all of Star Wars comics! I like that it is just a little ominous.

I’m in love with these egregiously early 00′s spacepunk icons. I wanna go home and rethink my life with them.

Happy (?) Clone Wars Friday!
Here is Gurihiru’s illustration for the word “stress.” The saddest part of this picture, for me, is that we see Padme comforting Anakin through his stress, but there is no acknowledgment of her own stress. While she has a more cheerful personality, by the end of the movie her stress breaks her down as well. I think that Padme’s love toward Anakin and Naboo is real, but I also think that Padme shields her true feelings behind smiles and a nurturing presence as a way to cope or even distract herself from her own pain. I think she has always had doubts and worries about the Republic, and she hides those fears behind a fragile front that we now would call “toxic positivity.”
The movies make Anakin’s repression clear, but you sort of have to read Padme’s between the lines. Many of her scenes were lost in the edit, and there was clearly never an intention to center her emotions anyway. But that doesn’t stop me from centering them!

It’s Clone Wars Friday. Even in the very first battle, the Clone Wars tore families apart.
