Profound script undercut by sponsorships and promotions

Timeless classic rendered timeful and fleeting by pop culture references

Captivating prose dulled by the need to self-censor for monetization

Like instead of Troya burning is an entire planet, maybe earth, and anddd Juno can be reinterpreted as some sort of eldritch cosmic identity trying to stop Aeneas because she knows he will ultimately led to the fundation of a galactic empire that will go through hundreds of years and will led to the destruction of a planet that's essentially Carthage. And there can be two starships with the few survivors from '''troy''' and they can be called Romulus and Remus and only one eventually makes it, and I guess it could also be a reference to Alien.

And of course every stop in the travel is a different planet, until they find a new home, so each planet can be very funny or interesting, like Crete can be like that water planet from Interstellar OH AND CHARYBDIS CAN BE A BLACK HOLE.

And the flashback with the sack of troy, the troyan horse can actually be an actual troyan virus that destroyed all the computers and led to a failure in the systems and led them weak to the attack of the Achaean. The Myrmidons are a species of ant-looking aliens, of course of course.

I don't like how he wrote Padmé. Someone recently literally made a joke of 'when you're so misogynistic you accidentally end being gay' referring to a line in rots.

I don't like how he's hailed as "one of us, he was sooooo into obikin guys" because holding your hands gently, no. He fucking is not.

He's a man, who happens to have Obi-Wan as his favorite, and who couldn't bother for the life of his to give Padme more than two thoughts.

He wasn't secretly giving clues or crumbs, he just didn't care and hyperfixated on Obi-Wan. Because being honest with you, is not even that gay coded.

Is flowery and purple prose. Let's take our Tumblr shipper glasses for a sec and realize this is just delulu nonsense, all because Matt can go even on weird detailed explanations of side characters that will die soon like Dooku and Grievous, but Padmé is just Anakin's wife and Anakin's children's mother.

And again, is a big desilusion considering Anakin literally prays and worships Padmé to an insane degree. He calls her everything that has ever and will be loved.

yes it’s from the star wars archives prequel book!

I’ve said before I loooooove an Obi-Wan who doesn’t see himself until Anakin’s father until his exile on Tatooine, usually playing with the idea of “how else could I still love him”. HOWEVER, I think an Obi-Wan who needs to accept his role as Anakin’s father because it proves Vader is a different person and “no parent could ever do that to their child. He wasn’t Ani then no that was someone else that was someone else.” is very fun.

Obi-Wan vehemently denying Anakin can be brought back, doubting Luke could succeed not just because of old Jedi doctrine but because he needs to. If Anakin is in Vader, if Anakin could be saved, that would be Obi-Wan did leave him to burn alive. That would mean that Obi-Wan violently and angrily mauled the boy who used to flinch at loud sounds, the boy who Obi-Wan promised he would never physically hurt.

That would mean that Palpatine’s influence went beyond Anakin’s immediate fall. And Obi-Wan is deep in survival mode. He just can’t think about that.

It’s not that Obi-Wan always believed so strongly in this separation, or even that he always believes it come time for ANH. He has nightmares of little Ani screaming for help in the fire. He thinks of the dear Emperor when he see’s men around Mos Espa who try to take advantage of their status and age and exploit people who don’t know much. He see’s Anakin everywhere.

Obi-Wan is closer to understanding Anakin than he ever has before but he doesn’t let himself. 19 years is a long time and slowly, overtime Obi-Wan does convince himself that Anakin is dead. Vader is alive. Obi-Wan hurt Vader. Anakin could never come back and he is a machine not a man. Because Obi-Wan would never have abandoned the man who he called his brother and the boy who he cared for like a son.

It’s a fun inverse of Anakin who also needs to see Vader and Anakin as separate people. Lets adopt maladaptive coping skills with Papa!!!

We are too ready to accept Obi-Wan as a reliable narrator! The people of Tatooine call Obi-Wan a crazy old hermit. Let him be funny and light in ANH because he has been so desperate and alone his reality is a little warped.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to listen to the entire 6-minute masterpiece. Most of you already know how the end credits typically go in a Star Wars film. The Rebel Alliance fanfare is played before John Williams delves into what he most likely considers to be the most important theme of the film. In this case, it was Across the Stars because…love story.

Now…just for reference, I need to make sure you know some themes in order for this to be as powerful as it can be. Those being:

The Imperial March which I’m sure all of you are quite familiar with. If you are new here or confused by the name, it is also commonly referred to as “Darth Vader’s Theme”.

Across the Stars is Anakin and Padme’s love theme throughout the Prequel Trilogy. If you can’t seem to remember or haven’t listened to it in a while but want to, just start the video from the 0:50 mark.

Anakin’s Theme is lesser known and also harder for people to remember since it’s not played very often. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when it happens so you know you’re hearing it.

Now…onto the reason I’m here…

If you skip to 4:25, you will hear a breathtaking rendition of the spectacular love theme played on a harp.

What happens after that is pure magic and pure genius on John Williams part.

At 4:55, we hear Anakin’s Theme. Though it doesn’t quite evoke childhood innocence as much as it did in the orchestral recording for The Phantom Menace. Now, it’s more distraught, more disjointed, more melancholy, and overall much more haunting.

At 5:13, we hear Across the Stars, a theme that is nothing short of beautiful every time it’s played…but listen to what’s happening underneath it.

At 5:18, while Across the Stars is still heard, we hear an undertone of The Imperial March. It interrupts the beauty of the love theme and lets you know of the darkness that surrounds that love.

At 5:25, John Williams takes that love theme to incredibly chilling heights.

At 5:35, the end credits close with a very foreboding rendition of The Imperial March. A rendition that is so gut-wrenching and stomach-churning even for the short 10-seconds that it plays and you’re almost begging the music to return to it’s happier, higher tone…but it doesn’t. That’s how it ends.

The end credits of The Phantom Menace ended with Vader too but that was only because Anakin’s Theme actually ends with a small snippet of it. This particular piece of music heard at the very, very end of Attack of the Clones is not featured anywhere else in any other Prequel Film as it’s written here. John Williams didn’t have to do that, he didn’t have to go that hard when it was the last few minutes of, not just the film, but the end credits. But…he did and I am oh, so glad he did because it gives me chills and makes me want to cry every time I hear it.
