I Can't Live Without Her

"i dont like sand..."

how many times do we have to say that anakin was not using padme as a 'cover' to get power: saving padme was WHY anakin wanted power in ROTS, anakin never craved power for power's sake (him laughing in the meadow and being like: god I could never lead. sounds like a horrible idea), he always wanted power to help other people, particularly his loved ones; in AOTC he is frustrated that he wasn't powerful enough because he believes his powerlessness contributed to the death of his mother

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a negative review of the Star wars Prequels that talks about the movies that George Lucas actually made, as opposed to talking about the movies that the reviewer was wishing had been made. People have a hard time wrapping their heads around how very fucking weird Star Wars was when it was first released, because now we watch it from childhood and internalize it. Not only Star Wars itself, but the thirty years of films since that have copied and emulated it. So, it seems like the most natural thing in the world- this is what adventure movies should be like. Except that that’s contrary to the entire reason it was a success in the first place, that it did everything different. So, when the Prequels came along and they were strange, experimental, not what people expect blockbusters to be, that of course couldn’t be more Star Wars of them. The irony is lost on fans of the first Star Wars that they are deriding the new Star Wars for being what Star Wars has been all along. Lucas didn’t change, they did.”
