God is so immature??? If u have a problem with me u can talk to me like an adult, there's no need for all the Signs of Displeasure. So passive aggressive smh
Qui-Gon Jinn apologist not in that I defend him but in that I’m always apologizing for his shit
i love sith!obi-wan as much as the next person but also, consider: obi-wan being the most stubbornly light-side jedi of all time
through a holocron, anakin and obi-wan come face-to-face with the darkest versions of themselves. anakin, of course, sees a monster. darth vader at his most extreme, murderous and even sadistic in his cruelty, not just violent but enjoying the vicious power his violence grants him. he's like a demon brought to life, the dark side in its purest form, malevolent and evil
meanwhile, obi-wan is still obi-wan just slightly worse. obi-wan but with like a bit of a drinking problem and he's let himself go a little. obi-wan but he's gotten addicted to world of space warcraft and is chugging more space mountain dew than might be ideal. The Darkness Within is just obi-wan indulging his self-destructive tendencies and maybe being a bit more of a bitch than he already is, turning up scruffy and less well-groomed than og obi-wan but still absolutely, unmistakably in the light
dude is incorruptible. a beacon of light, stubbornly staying light no matter what life throws at him.
(naturally, obi-wan is still horrified by "evil" obi-wan. dude is listening to his albums on speaker phone. he is so inconsiderate)
Someone please put Obi-Wan in one of those "I am Kenough" shirts ASAP
"I never believed she was real, she seemed so fake" ??? If that's ur criticism, fine whatever, but isn't it more interesting to think about why this character might maintain a false persona, a stiff mask, in order to conceal a true self? The possibility that she does not and has never known her true self because she's never had the opportunity?? That that repression might affect her choices throughout her life? Maybe more of that complexity could have actually been shown in the movies, but no one's stopping you from reading between the lines a little, getting a lil imaginative with it? But no let's just say she's boring
ok, phrasing my objections a bit better: this is a reblog on an old web weave i did paralleling padme to lolita, talking about natalie portman being sexualized at a young age, how this may have bled into her taking on of an "adult" role, and at the end being critical of padme's positioning in the larger star war saga. it's an old post & ive now deleted it. because as much as i think padme's writing could've stood more complexity, i don't think there's any less imaginative or simple a viewpoint than "a CHILD as a QUEEN? NONSENSE. boring!!". like idk how the takeaway on a female character being a little inconsistent or having some flaws in her foundation is always that she should be wiped out completely & hated nonstop. im tired!
what’s a polite way of saying that discourse (an utterly meaningless word) around saw gererra annoys you greatly because no one is ever gonna get the nuance they want out of his character because his primary appearances are in children’s shows meaning that he’s always going to be portrayed in a negative light bc shows made for children have simple morals that can’t really account for the nuance of the necessity of far-left action and/or terrorism and also his character was made by a company that has military contracts meaning that he will also always be portrayed negatively because the concept of a radical partisan is frighting to the status quo regardless of how politically adept Andor might seem but no one ever includes that nuance when discussing his character so everyone argues in circles until the sun burns out and we all hate each other
everything about the clones’ existence makes me so unwell. it’s like. you are a copy of a man who is a killer but he is also a father and he is whip-smart and tough but he’s a simple man and he asks for one thing when he agrees to be cloned and it’s a son. and you grow up to look just like this man but you are not his son you are his paycheck
he consumes my every waking thought and most of the sleeping ones too
