Hahahahaha. Love it!

And okay, my first though was “and the galaxy was saved because even Anakin Skywalker would struggle to keep trusting Palpatine with that music playing in the background”

Anakin think he’s gone COMPLETELY insane (maybe he’s finally been electrocuted too many times and its fried his brain). He doesn’t tell anyone though because he can still fight just fine just… everything is a lot more musical. He doesn’t want to be thought crazy and taken off the front lines.

Once he figures out what the various musical cues mean he actually finds them useful in figuring out how dangerous a situation is. Also battles are so much cooler now and boring landscapes are slightly less boring because at least now they have mood music. Yep, he can live with this.

Music: DUN DUN DUN, DUN DA-DUN, DUN DA-DUN!

Anakin: [pauses] [looks around] Uh…OK. I mean, I’ll…go talk to Obi-Wan?

Music: [hopeful woodwind instruments]

Anakin: …and be open and honest about my life and what is bothering me, and try to work out a non-violent resolution to my problems?

Music: [Force Theme plays]

I’m crying from laughter, this is beautiful.

Anakin: *fucks up*

Maybe Obi-Wan hears the music, too, and then the day is saved. 

Obi-Wan: [walking away] Welp, guess it’s off to kill Grievous I’m sure Anakin will be fi – 

Music: [Duel of the Fates] 

Obi-Wan: OMG not this shit again [runs back down the hall towards Anakin]

Anakin: [running back towards Obi-Wan] Obi-Wan I just heard that Ominous Music again and also I secretly married Padme and she’s pregnant and I haven’t slept in 6 days and I keep thinking she’s going to die and I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT and if you leave I will 100% end up killing everyone and –

Obi-Wan: – oh my God! OK…it’s OK, I heard my own ominous music a second ago when I was getting ready to leave and so I won’t and we’ll fix th – 

Anakin: – I heard mine when I thought about maybe talking to the Chancellor instead of y–

Palpatine: [sidling up behind them smugly] Everything all right, gentlemen?

Music: [scary ass music from the opera scene] 

ITS TIME

Zuko: “Uncle, stop using your fire-bending to make a hot tub for skinny-dipping! I need to capture the Avatar!”  Iroh: “Ehhh. Five more minutes.”  Zuko: “…Fine! But if you don’t hurry up, I’m leaving without you!!”  Iroh: *take a nap* (Iroh: *gets captured by Earth Kingdom soldiers*  Zuko: *immediately drops everything to come rescue him*) 

Like, putting aside what might be genuinely an act for his nephew’s sake or what might be a cover for his White Lotus involvement, it’s just so funny to me that Iroh spends most of his screen-time on the ship playing Pai Sho and organizing Music Nights which he pouts at Zuko for skipping (to brood in his room, of course). This man is here to have a good time! Undoubtedly Iroh is genuinely involved in the actual running of the ship and of course he’s training Zuko in firebending, but how often Zuko indulges his uncle’s easygoing antics with put-upon teenage outrage and obvious affection is hilarious. 

Like, in the Bato episode, Zuko is fighting Aang not even 50 ft away and what’s Iroh doing? Mr. Dragon of the West who is one of the most renowned military generals and firebenders in the world, sir, do you think you should help your nephew try to capture the Avatar and regain his honor? Mr. Dragon of the West who is a Living Legend of the Fire Nation, sir, has it crossed your mind to maybe step in and take care of this threat to the Fire Nation’s conquest of the world and your brother’s throne?
