love that moves the sun and other stars

can i express any genuine wants & desires or will i be tortured & killed

whenever i need a laugh i just remember that there are people out there who are genuinely mad that anakin gave his padawan braid to padme instead of obi-wan

the one interpretation i always thought was obvious but never actually saw expressed by other sw fans is that anakin's unconventional birth circumstances are the force sending the message in more ways than one. so the force didn't like siths messing up with it and sent anakin to the jedi to counter that. yes, as some kind of WMD but also. anakin being born on the backwards planet with slavery abandoned by the republic. due to this the jedi order wasn't able to detect him thus anakin brought up to the temple "too old". the very existence of anakin exposes the republics and the jedi orders flaws. it's a litmus test, a call/forewarning from the force itself for the republic/the jedi order to reckon with it's own rot or perish. that's the only way anakin could be their savior. the only way for anakin to preserve his faith in the republic and the jedi order. practically, revolutionize and be aided by the chosen one against the sith or die by his hand in your arrogance. we know which route was taken. if only they took anakin's status as the chosen one more seriously. instead the jedi order with the republic did nothing to accommodate anakin. instead of self critique they decided that it's anakin who's wrong in his feelings and reactions to the world, not them. that's it's the child who's corrupt due to his traumatic living experience not the institutions that let it happen and don't lift a finger to stop it. the jedi order refusing to face the signal for the change did it's best to mold anakin into a mere tool, just a cog in their war machine. thus stripping him of traits he used to have as a kid on tatooine: an independent moral code, the belief in the republic and the jedi order. so the darth vader was born.

i often see the (wrong) take that anakin was always some kind of sith cuckoo in jedi nest. it can't be more wrong because anakins existence is one triumph card which was given to jedi to stop their unpreventable doom otherwise. but they failed to 'activate' it. that's entirely on jedi order because in this meta context anakin is a messianic demigod figure which judgement is above theirs narratively. the fact that in the end of the saga anakin accomplished his role of an savoir under different approach proves it.

to me anidala is like jeongyeon and tzuyu’s romeo + juliet moment in the what is love MV
