Hello there ✨

anakin: Hold on, I can explain!

don’t forget: 

Imagine if Luke found out about The Path. Eventually tracks it down and is excited to meet other Jedi.

#I like the prequels more now that I’ve decided to stop trying to shoehorn any character’s behaviors into normal boxes #and instead just asked myself ‘what kind of person would make these choices’ and see the characters as that #Padme seriously wore a black corset to tell him she was very into him but they would not be fucking #instead of saying oh my god who DOES that #I just instead ask myself ‘who does that’ and realize that explains a lot more #here is this wealthy educated and perhaps a little vain woman who sees her childhood hick charitycase friend grew up as a hot goth jock #and oh no he’s still space racist and awkward and yet she goes harder for him after finding that out #she’s absolutely a freak #her being a freak is actually the most polite way to interpret her character #because it intersects so interestingly with this virgin child queen who crowned the emperor shit that’s her actual legacy #to be honest I still have no clue what Lucas intended to say with these characters but tehyre a lot more fun once you turnoff preconceptions #the OT trilogy are adorable and iconic but the PT trio are great because theres something fucking wrong with all of them #just comically tragically the dumbest combination of disordered behavior from a group of protagonists #the OT trio are unlikely but largely successful heroes! The PT trilogy are hyper-competent child geniuses who grew up to be #heavily decorated and famous heroes who break the entire setting forever and I love that for them!
