"Anakin was manipulated by palpatine" "palpatine groomed Anakin to become his apprentice" do u ever think about how palpatine came from a planet with a history of young queens who were democratically elected, got his own massive political power with help from his sith master and not by his own merit, then took advantage of padme to achieve greater power bc he knew she'd do anything to save Naboo from the crisis he initiated?
Like obvs there's a lot of things that make palps a Bad Guy, but I just feel like crimes against Naboo, Naboo's culture and history, and padme in particular are too often overlooked. Padme was not naive, she just didn't expect the man who represented the interests of her whole planet (and 35 other planets also btw) to have organized an invasion of their shared home world. Justice for my girl
It’s the way Padme fought against the droids and machines trying to save her life in order to die her own way it’s the way they couldn’t explain it beyond her losing her will to live when in fact it was an active choice to die it’s the way Padme was her own judge jury and executioner in her own slaughter. Padmes anguish in death her guttural screams it was all because she couldn’t take being used and manipulated any longer. Her screams were that of a woman freeing herself. Permanently.
I GOT THE QUEEN SY SNOOTLES
if i dont survive this finals season tell everyone how brave and right about star wars i was
they may be doomed by the narrative but atleast they had gay sex
Codywan is a gay ship for gay people.
Obikin is a gay ship for straight people. (Derogatory)
Kanera is a straight ship for gay people.
Anidala is a straight ship for straight people.
No i won‘t elaborate
U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping
Just thinking about their tiny sleeping nook and Grogu’s lil hammock 😭
padme saying “i don’t know you anymore” the key to it all maybe..she’s fought with anakin before, she’s witnessed him do terrible things, but she’s never felt like she didn’t know him. their backstories parallel each other, they both had stolen childhoods, padme would’ve felt like anakin was one of the few people in the galaxy who could understand her—and in turn, she one of the few who could understand him. her “i don’t know you anymore” comes with an implied “and you must not have known me as as well as i thought, because this isn’t what i want.” she’s mourning the loss of her first (and really, only) real connection to another human in that scene. is it a little fucked for her prioritize that connection over the suffering of others? well yes . but also very romantic ...
Seeing my brother and his fiance reblog each other makes me sick. Worse than when they make out or whatever. Keep it in the bedroom
he consumes my every waking thought and most of the sleeping ones too
