Skywalker Shenanigans™

#there are so few moments where padmé is unwatched and alone#because 90% of her scenes are about her relationship with anakin or her role in the Senate#and then she’s either perceived through the public eyes- as a politician#or as this fixed idealized persona her husband wants her to be and which is not /her/#but here she’s just herself – left bare and aching and with nothing but her failure and abandonment and fear#and this is the padmé amidala who deeply moves me as a character#the one i find really tragic#more than the senator or the queen or the doomed lover that the fandom wants her to be#this very lonely woman in a fancy empty room watching her life and everything she ever held dear turn to ash before her#she failed in more than one way and she lied herself about a lof of things (the republic her husband perhaps even herself)#but she deserved more than this#more than the betrayal and the powerlessness and this empty room at the end of nothing (via lagren0uille)

and this is a piece of performance art called “i take everything personally”

yoda initially refusing to teach luke in empire is so fucking funny with the added “context” of the prequels… luke is like, “hey i’m sure this soup is delicious but i’m not really hungry so can we please get a move on here i feel like we’re wasting our time” and yoda just… sighs gravely and turns away and summons obi-wan’s spirit and is like, “i cannot teach him… much anger in him… like his father” like yoda PLEASE chill all he did was refuse your five-alarm chili and you’re already having flashbacks to anakin slaughtering a roomful of children
