i’ll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucas’ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, i’ve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, “his main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.” that fucking rules. george lucas could’ve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, that’s fucking exquisite. if you don’t think that premise is inherently entertaining you’ve got no taste

Luke her twin her other half. Luke gets grabbed with such strength and such ferocity#Nell doing this one last thing to prove to him she believes in his ability to keep going#her face is serene in every shot except his. for him she feels the pull to stay echoing in her own heart#it’s a twin thing after all#so she fights so much harder to yank him back to reality#it breaks me every time how even in saving them all Nell tailors her action to each sibling specifically (via @novelconcepts

in my defence i'm stupid as hell your honor

“i’m chilling”, i say as i’m obviously and visibly spiraling out of control,

Could you imagine being Spock and being raised to think that physical contact is unecessary and illogical and being touch starved your whole life then being around James “Ope let me Slide On Past Ya” Kirk? James “I don’t know what personal space is” Kirk? James Tiberius Kirk?
