If people think that the fall of the Jedi is due to Anakin ... You know he is only a pawn a puppet right

The real one who really made the Jedi fall IS none other than Palpatine

I swear the pro Jedi people are just venom when it comes to Anakin gives him no room to see that he may have set out to destroy the republic but how can you sit there and deny or forget that the main one who was really the one having the ability to make that happen was PALPATINE

I have one storytelling issue with Anakin killing the Tusken Raiders in Attack of the Clones (there is also a major issue with how the Tusken Raiders are treated throughout Star Wars especially in this scene which another creator explains better here but there is also a storytelling issue)

Anakin committing murder against the Tuskens should be treated with way more gravitas than it is

It's supposed to be the first step towards his fall to the dark side, where he gives into his anger and lets it rule him completely, to the destruction of an entire tribe, the problem is destroying an entire tribe is not a first step atrocity, it's an 'where in the endgame for his downfall now'

You can get away with more because of the setting of the story, the galaxy is wartorn, people we are supposed to see as the heroes have already had to kill to survive, making killing more acceptable, but the Jedi themselves are not supposed to kill (this isn't actually presented as an issue for other Jedi but we are told they aren't meant to kill so let's just move on) and this is because the Jedi are strong enough to end a fight without killing, so it's always a choice for them to kill, which is why it is such a big deal when Anakin is pressured to kill Count Dooku in Revenge of the Sith

This makes the Tusken Raiders massacre something worthy of a lot of Gravitas, not only has Anakin chosen to kill, he has chosen to slaughter everyone "the women and children too", it is a massacre and there should be no way to move past it

But the story doesn't treat it like that, the story treats it as if he had just made a slight slip, something he can come back from, immediately we get Padme silently hugging him, which humanises him and also implies that it's not that bad because Padme is shown to be quite a moral and upstanding character, and then the event is never mentioned again

Let me repeat, the massacring of an entire community is brushed past by the story

And then the next movie we see Anakin struggling with murdering Count Dooku, this doesn't work, sure Count Dooku hasn't killed someone as personal to him as his mother but Count Dooku is also someone who has been a thorn in Anakin's side for two entire movies, killing the Tuskens should have made him more willing to kill the Count so why has he become more moral rather than less

Killing the Tuskens wasn't a slip to the Dark Side it was a jump across a cavern he should never have been able to come back from but it's treated like a slip and it makes the story infuriating

Genocide against the Tusken Raiders happened way too early in the story for it to make sense considering how the story treats it, genocide is not something you can come back from but the story wants you to believe he can and then acts like the genocide of the Jedi is so much worse, no, he's already done it, yeah the Tuskens made it believable but the discrepancy in the treatment of the two genocides makes the story infuriating, it's genocide other way, why is only the Jedi's massacre treated as such

And Anakin didn't have to massacre an entire village to show he was slipping, we had already established that the Jedi are not allowed to kill and more importantly, the Jedi are not supposed to give into their emotions, him killing a person in anger should have been enough, him killing maybe two people in anger would have been enough but massacring an entire village should have been a 'he's never coming back, he has completely fallen to the dark side' moment like when he did it to the Jedi

And it just doesn't work, the only thing I can think of for why this scene exists in the form it does is poor storytelling, George Lucas didn't have a plan so he had the impactful scene of Anakin massacring a Tusken community and then low key retconned it in the next movie because he still had another movie to flesh out Anakin's fall, and it does also feel racist that the Tuskens who are based on non-white indigenous communities have their genocide treated so lightly when compared to the genocide of the Jedi

If you found me on this blog... I'll assume.. if you're DMming me... that you have read my header and see that it says "nudez 4 $ale" which is pretty clear. It's also something you see at the top of the message when you DM me. So using the excuse of "not knowing" is frustrating & just makes you look even more ignorant and turns me off even more. I'm not here to appease the ego of absolutely every man who messages me. Be interesting. Or buy my nudes. That is all xx

[sexworker-problems]

I honestly can’t believe I even received this question. In no way will I contribute to the sales of minor’s nudes. Absolutely unacceptable.

Me: absolutely *does exactly what was asked of me to do on video for the amount of time requested*… your content of me doing the thing you wanted is done! I’ll send it when I receive my payment but here’s a preview.. 💕

Client: what that’s all???? Why aren’t you also doing [thing that was never asked of me to do for this custom]??? *disapears*

[skysgalaxy]

Don't get me wrong I adore the prequels but it's odd that people would say that Padme had the worst lines out of the whole cast please EVERYONE had worst lines have you not heard Obi
