Darth Prequelist

Bonus!

From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again… I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you… I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating… hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me… what can I do? I will do anything you ask. If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.

LNC: ANAKIN SKYWALKER EDITION [insp.]

#'poor padmé her husband destroyed the republic in her name'

#my brothers and sisters in christ she asked him to forget it all and come away with her to hide and raise their kids

#and that was after she knew he killed younglings... [crying emoji]

#let's not erase any of that

#or her telling anakin the republic wasn't what it used to be

#or how she said she didn't want to serve and how she wanted a family

#or how she was groomed by palpatine and so was her husband

#not a hint of nuance

#you guys just want padmé to be the perfect politican and anakin to be a mustache twirling villain and toxic husband all along

#good job you ruined the story and also disregarded two great characters

#and a great ship

Like, in the Narkina 5 arc, you think Andor is spotlighting the evils of the prison industrial complex but then the subject is just dropped, once Cassian escapes. Except, of course, at the end when Dedra is dropped into a Narkina 5-like prison, because the creators don't really have a problem with the prison industrial complex as long as the people they want are in prison.

Or when they touch on "illegal" immigration in the Mina Rau arc (even though it makes absolutely zero sense in the SW universe) but then conveniently ignore that for Bix's bucolic, fashy motherhood shot.
