clone autism

Rewatching the prequels this week was NOT supposed to make me emotional about the jedi order but it was just the way obi-wan walked into the youngling's class and they all paused and said hello and yoda used it as a teaching moment and took the kid's answer seriously and gently poked fun at obi and the fact that jedi masters go by their last names with politicians and dignitaries but all the other jedi including the padawans and the younglings call them by their first names and how when the temple was attacked the younglings ran to the council chambers to find the wisest most powerful members of the order to help them fully believing they would find protection and instructions-

when i learned jedi kids r raised communally i suddenly understood the anakin | obi wan conflict so much better omg its only child vs kid with like 8 siblings. obi wan is like anakin ur so fckn stupid (smiles fondly) and anakin is like he thinks im stupid 😡

I will think about the blorbos on company time

#if Mace was Anakin's master he would've been experiencing shatterpoints at least three times a week #like a 9 years old Anakin shyly asks Mace for a hug for the first time and when Mace is about to say no Kill Bill theme starts to play #Mace reluctantly gives him a hug and 'Anakin will remember that' appears in the top left corner of his vision #it would probably slowly drive the man insane. he wouldn't be able to tell anyone about it. not even Yoda #because how do you even explain that the Force itself warned you about The Consequences of withholding an ice cream from a sad 10 years old (via @balamist)

i think if i were a jedi i would make it my life mission to make yoda angry. i would give anything to hear his little goblin voice mutter the words “thin fucking ice, you are on” and click his little cane on the ground. i would do anything. kick him as im walking and be like “oh sorry didnt see you there.” go with him to the market and try to buy him for four credits and say “oh my bad i thought you were a head of cabbage.” raise all the chairs in the jedi temple just an inch. catch him while he’s sleeping and paint his little nails and then be like “odd that someone caught you slippin master yoda. wonder who could have done that.” leave crumbs in his seat in the jedi council. i mean i would do anything

“Vader loves Luke because he’s always loved Luke, from the moment he knew there was going to be a Luke to love.”

#luke isn’t just the child he never knew he had#luke is the child he /thought he lost/#‘this son of mine was dead and is alive again’#that’s so much more powerful via @catie-does-things

Why am I crying over this? Pull yourself together.

Luke is the son he thought he killed

just thought about star wars and teared up

what if there was a franchise that was about hope, and the relationships between fathers and their children, and the relationships between mentors and their students, and redemption, and fighting against evil even when it all seems lost, and ordinary people believing in the possibility of a better and brighter future, and clinging to your culture even when darkness threatens to overcome you, and being thrust into situations that are so much bigger than you but still doing your best to make even the smallest difference, and fighting against oppression even when it’s all you’ve ever known, and watching the universe change around you and being unable to stop it, and being let down by the people closest to you but still being able to forgive them, and having faith in the people around you even when you don’t have faith in yourself. and also there are laser swords.
