The subtleties of the force part five- final

You are from this world, but at a convetion you stumble into the world between worlds, eventually falling into the Star Wars galaxy. Slow burn Anakinxreader content due to reader trying to keep the timeline straight.This is a long one, as I had put all chapters below so strap in. Begins at the start of AOTCFem reader, I hope you enjoy.

Convention lines were always long and this one had been no different. Alone once more you stepped forward, hesitation and excitement fighting for dominance in your stomach. In your hand you held a pile of promotional headshots, actors from a movie you had loved for years. You had always dreamed that one day you might find that your own father was a great hero and not the man who abandoned your mother and you. It had not happened yet so you supposed it never would. Looking down at your hands you could see the beginnings of age creeping over you, age spots covered the slowly thinning skin. Were you really closing in on your fifties? No family to rely on, no one there when you needed a friend, nothing. You'd lived an empty life. A staff member whose face seemed blurred in some way ushered you forward allowing you to step up to the celebrities. A pair of brown eyes met yours and you felt a twinge of sadness.

"Y/n?" Natalie Portman narrowed her eyes on you. You ignored the use of your name, took the picture back from her and moved on.

Ewan McGregor took your next picture and signed his name across it before looking up at you.

"Y/n? What?" His voice sounded miles away and you stepped away once more.

"Mother?" The voice of Mark Hamill caught your attention but that word didn't make sense, you must have heard it wrong. Were you dressed in cosplay? You check but no, you're in simple jeans. You can see the person you wanted to meet the most at the end of the line and you walked. A trance falling over you as people called out to you. Hayden Christensen looked up, his blue eyes catching yours. Panic filled him and you wondered if you were doing something wrong. He was rounding the tables and coming toward you. Hands grabbed your shoulders and dragged you away. Hayden reaches for you but misses your hand.

"Hmmm, her mind is confused. It will be hard to push our way in." The grand inquisitor huffed.

"Maybe we should take her straight to the Emperor?" Reva, the third sister suggested.

The two looked at each other, a conversation continuing in their minds.

The larger man turned once more to your body, placing his hand over your head.

"Perhaps I can at least clear her mind a little before we reach him"

Reva nods.

Everything stopped. The lights of the city, the noise of people, are all gone. You knelt holding your arms around your body in a dark room. You knew there was nothing there, no doors, no windows, no furniture. You know you need to keep everything locked away, pretend like you are nothing. The feeling of denticles wriggling through your mind comes again, slowly turning into the scratching of spiders.

'You will find nothing.' You spit out the words.

A cold wind whips around you and snow appears below you. Reaching out you touch the snow, feeling your fingers beginning to freeze. What place could be this cold? No place on Earth, illium perhaps or Florium, Both? You had never been to Both, so it could not be in your mind. This place was not a memory but knowledge. Your body is flung backwards.

Children are playing, not your children. No this is a street on Earth. Your street. Children are running by you in the summer heat. Turning away from them you see your home, a tall house with many levels, each an apartment. A hand slides into yours and you turn to see Anakin beside you.

"I know you haven't been here for a long time, y/n, but don't worry it's just while we're shooting this film." He kisses the side of your head and you feel soothed. Wait…did he say shooting a film?

"Sure, Anakin." You try out the name, he laughs with his whole body.

"You're going to call me that the whole time aren't you?" His smile was hard to ignore.

"As long as you let me." You say. He begins to lead you up the steps when you feel something off. Your feet feel too light, like you aren't walking on the paving slabs.

'This isn't real' you think, pulling your hand from his and spinning you're back in the dark empty room. No, it's not empty any more. There is a man, his skin is white, and eyes are yellow. The Grand Inquisitor. He cannot see you, his hand is hovering above something you cannot see. You feel your lightsaber in your hand and you approach him. In silence you place the hilt against his back.

"Stay out of my mind." You hiss and ignite your blade. The purple colour bursting from his chest.

The Grand Inquisitor stumbles back. A hole burned through his body. He drops to his knees and falls down. Reva, steps to him.

"Dead? She killed you from inside her mind."

—---

"Is Luke okay?" Leia asks her father, bending down to hug him from behind. Anakin sat in the pilot seat of the millennium falcon.

"The Droids say he is fine. The whimper got him good but he's a Skywalker, we're a hard bunch to kill." He pats his daughter's hand.

"We'll find her, father. We'll find all of them."

He smiles at her, "how did you become so smart?"

"I got it from my mother." She grinned, winking at him.

"Heh, yeah you did. She'd never do what we are though."

"I'm not going home without my family. Han found Luke, so now we're going to find mother." Leia kept her face stoic as she spoke.

"That you get from me." Anakin smiled.

"So what are we going to do?" She asks

"The only thing left to do. I was supposed to be the chosen one, bring balance to the force. So let's go kill the Sith."

Leia thought for a moment, pressing her lips together.

"Do you think that's what it means?" She asked.

"What else could it mean?"

"Well, forever there have been Jedi and Sith, at least two on each side. That's pretty balanced but what if, dad, what if it means that force users should be balanced?"

Anakin turned himself fully round to face his daughter.

"I know it sounds crazy but what if the only way to defeat the Emperor is by letting go. Use both sides of the force?"

"I don't…you know a long time ago, when your mother and I met we sat in the old temple one night. Your mother told me things about the force that I and none of the Jedi had ever known or thought of. It was her who showed us that love could be used for good, before we weren't allowed attachments, possession was forbidden for fear that it would lead to the darkside. Now we use our love to strengthen the light."

"Sounds similar to me. Mum is always saying that you shouldn't give in to your anger and that's true but what if we used it, just a little."

Anakin nodded.

"You might be onto something. Here, take over, I need to make contact with Obi-Wan." Anakin jumped from his chair and ran to the back rooms. Chewie had fallen asleep on the round booth chair which made Anakin laugh to himself as he passed him.

—----

Obi-Wan couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go wrong. Over the years he had learned to trust his Padawan, his reckless ideas almost always worked out. Yet, now there were two more reckless Skywalkers to contend with.

"Look, I do not disbelieve or distrust your idea, I only wish to convey caution in all matters. Mace and Y/n are the only two Jedi who have been able to use their fear and anger to strengthen their abilities. Be mindful Anakin, at all times."

"I will be Master."

The hologram faded away.

"Time to save mum?"

Luke asked, his wild blue eyes glinting under the lights of the machinery.

"Let's go get mum." Anakin repeated, clapping his son on the back and pulling his daughter along behind by her hand.

*******************

Your eyes open, only to close again against the pain in your head. The room around you seemed familiar somehow. The same feeling you continued to get becoming more and more irritating.

"AHH, Madam Skywalker, lovely to have you here." The voice scratched your ears.

"Palpatine." You reply, looking at him with no respect for his self appointed title. Palpatine visabally grits his teeth at you.

"I am glad you could finally find your way out of whatever mind dungeon you had shut yourself in."

You roll your eyes.

"Oh yes, it's a decided displeasure to be in your acquaintance as always." You give him a fake grin. An Inquisitor steps forward and slaps you with the back of his gloves hand.

"You will not speak to the Emperor in such a manner." He growled. Palpatine raised his hand and gestured for him to step away.

"Not to worry, y/n will know her place soon. Your mind has given me plenty. Poor little girl, lost in her world not meant to be there. The force found you and you pulled you to exactly where you needed to be. Now, you will be mine, my apprentice."

"Ha! No way." You laugh. Palpatine steps closer to you, his face mere inches from your own, you can see the deformation of his skin below his hood. You feel and smell his rancid breath on your skin. His yellow eyes bore into yours.

"For some time now my new obsession has been you, y/n. How did a person appear from nowhere and become the strongest force wielder we have ever seen. How is it the Force could travel so far and pull you here? You must know."

You swallow and take a deep breath.

"I have been here for over twenty years, if the force has a higher meaning for me, I think we'd know it by now. Also toothpaste is a thing."

"AHH yes, make jokes all you like, you will bend to my will." He snarled.

"I didn't turn then, none of us will turn now."

He laughed, cackled in your face.

"Oh once I've turned you, Anakin and your children will follow easily."

You roll your eyes and sigh, hoping it would convert every ounce of contempt you had for him.

Heavy boots echo as they approach, too loud for the quiet room. The officer speaks to the Inquisitor who glanced nervously at you.

"My Lord Emperor, the rebels and the Jedi are here."

"Then shoot them all down, but let the Skywalkers come to me." Palpatine kept his eyes on you as he spoke.

"It seems they already are here, on the planet. They have made contact with the Natives."

Palpatine's smile became impossibly wider.

"Here they come, time for you to choose Skywalker."

"I would rather die."

"Then you will, and they will turn."

—----

Han Solo, Chewie, Anakin, Leia and Luke crouch behind trees and rocks looking at a set of troopers. Troopers with black uniforms and red flashings. They stand between several speeder bikes.

"Chewie and I will take care of this. You stay here.." Han whispers to the others.

"Quietly there might be more of them out there." Luke warns his friend.

"Hey it's me." He grins and moves away from the group.

"That's what we're afraid of." Anakin quips, winking at his daughter. Han creeps toward a trooper pulling out his gun. A twig snaps below his foot and the trooper turns. Han manges to punch him and a fight breaks out between them. Two troopers jump on speeders and rush off. Luke has only a second to register both his father and sister leaping forward onto speeders.

"Leia, dad!" He just manages to jump.on to Leia's speeder and keep hold as she pulls away. Anakin laughs as he speeds through the trees. A different climate but it felt just like the pod racing of his childhood.

The two teens took on one trooper managing to knock him from his course and smash into a tree. Anakin was enjoying the race a little too much. Toying with the trooper, he would pull up alongside him only to disappear between the trees again. Fear radiated off the nameless soldier as he tried his communications router. There was nothing but static.

Anakin appeared alongside him once more, a smile dancing upon his face as he drew his lightsaber. The trooper had no chance to react as the blade sliced through the front of the speeder and he landed in an explosion against a tree. Anakin laughed, and his children drew up beside him.

"What are we doing? Going back for the others or heading in?" Leia called to him.

"What do you say Luke?" Anakin asked.

"Let's go get her!"

They pull up the bikes and jump off them, not wanting to alert any more troopers to their presence. By foot they ran through the trees till they could see the base.

"Imperial architecture is hardly imaginative." Leia rolls her eyes.

"Well when you're a senator in the new republic you can order it all made pretty." Luke laughed.

"Alright kids, remember your training, quickly and quietly."

The twins nod to their father and move out.

The troopers and droids outside the base were little work for the three Jedi. Luke crouched next to a trooper and pulled his helmet off.

"They aren't clones." He announced.

"Count Dooku destroyed Camino a long time ago, I doubt anyone else knows how to clone people." Anakin explained as he tinkered with a battle droid.

"What are you doing?" Leia asked him.

"Nothing like a little confusion to distract the enemy." Anakin said as he pulled wires around.

"You're rewiring it." She nodded, "I'll get the door." Leia ran over to the base and started pressing buttons. The combination to the door was long but not complicated and by the time Anakin was done with the droid the doors slid open.

They directed the droid inside before slipping by and turning in the opposite direction.

The halls were dark, normal imperial interior design of black walls and tiny red lights, decorated their path through the base. The trio hadn't seen any officers, soldiers or troops for some time when Anakin stopped in his tracks.

"This is a trap." He whispered to his children, "Luke go down a level, Leia into the vents, both of you stay hidden, we'll go in the same direction and find your mother. Stay hidden until I give you a signal."

The twins agree and run off to their specified places as Anakin squared his shoulders, dropped his brown cloak to the floor and marched forward.

The closer he got to the centre of the building the colder it grew, air blew out of his mouth in clouds of vapour. He could hear you somewhere inside, your low grunts of pain emitting through the walls. Though he desperately wanted to charge in and destroy whoever was hurting you he knew he needed to be more calculated. Steadying his breathing Anakin used the force to open the final door. Turning to him the Emperor plunged his crimson sabre through your body. You cried out for your husband, feeling the heat sever your spinal cord. He drops you to the ground and you hit your chin.

"Ahh at last, we meet again. Are you ready now, my boy?"

Anakin smiled. He did not care about the Inquisitors that circled him.

"Thank you, Emperor, you have given me exactly what I need." Anakin's eyes flashed yellow for a moment as he spoke and felt his body full with new power. Ignoring his sabre he charged forward. Behind him Leia dropped from the vents cutting down one of the inquisitors before Luke emerged from below. The battle went on around you as you struggled to keep yourself awake. A pair of hands touched your shoulders and you spun your face round.

"Cody, you're okay?"

"I sure am madam Skywalker. Let's get you out of here." He grinned, pulling at you.

"I can't walk." You force out. Cody lifts you into his arms and runs for the exit, dodging and weaving through the fighting force users.

"How did you escape?" You ask him, arms clinging around his neck.

"I was only clipped.in the shoulder ma'am, your son found me in a cell." He hits the door with his boots hoping it would open.

Looking over his shoulder you see the last inquisitor fall limp to the ground, his head rolling away. Your two children stood triumphant above their enemies.

"You played it wrong, Palpatine. Hurting my wife doesn't make me weak." Anakin held his adversary around the neck with the force.

"Yes, good, give into your anger." Palpatine hissed out the words.

"I don't need to." Anakin laughed, clenching his fingers as if they were clamped around the Emperor's neck.

The Emperor let out his own strangled laugh and pointed his fingers toward Anakin. Blue lightning burst out of them and struck Anakin. He faulted slightly, taking a step back but holding himself still. Luke and Leia ran up behind him putting their hands on their father's shoulders.

"I am the Empire, the galaxy and the Sith." Palpatine growled.

"And we are the Jedi and the Force." They spoke in unison, the two children bringing their hands up in front of them. You closed your eyes and called out to any Jedi who could hear you.

Around the galaxy, within each system force users heard your voice. They stood and closed their eyes, focusing in on the room. Power surged through the trio. A beam of golden light shone from their hands and engulfed the Emperor. Red and blue sparked from all around them as the Emperor's skin peeled from his body. Slowly he faded into nothing. A mass of robes and dust fell to the ground.

Your husband and children dropped to their knees.

"What was that?" Luke asked.

"I don't know but it worked." Anakin said standing up. He turns to you and rushes to your side.

"Take her, General. The men and I will get this all cleaned up." Cody passed you over to Anakin, the pain in your back spasmed with their movements but your legs dangled limply. Leia told Cody to put the Emperor's remains in a box and seal it away.

************

Immediately after the rescue of you and the galaxy Senator Organa is given the role of Chancellor and begins to build a new republic senate. It would take years to rebuild the trust amongst the planets and the people but they were finally willing to put in the time.

All imperial buildings were demolished to make way for rehabilitation centres.

The Mandalorians returned to their home world, the Clone troopers were given full citizenship of any planet they chose, free to live a normal life.

And the Jedi?

The Jedi were gone, at least the order that had once been known. A new way had begun, the Skywalkers taught everyone how to use both sides of the force, to create a balanced life.

Though the healers and medic droids had tried they could never fully repair your spinal cord. Though you could walk and move about it was often short lived and used much of your focus to do. Anakin insisted on always being by your side, you didn't mind one bit. Sometimes at night you would dream of the life you left behind, a life of loneliness. You traded that life each time for the one you have now.

Though many of the old Jedi slowly grew old and died you relished on seeing the new council ascend. Obi-Wan became grandmaster after Yoda became one with the force. You, Anakin, Ahsoka and an extremely skilled young man, called Cal, held seats alongside him.

One year after the Empire's defeat you watched as Anakin walked Leia down the aisle, followed soon by the birth of her son with Han Solo. Ben was a beautiful boy, the image of his father and the spirit of his mother. He was followed by a brother three years later, baby Anakin's blue eyes shone just as bright as his namesake.

Luke two found love with Mara Jade, mandalorian born with skills unmatched by so many in the force. Two more grandchildren blessed your life Jacen and Jaina.

Anakin and you slowly grew older until you decided it was time to retire from the council, and live a quiet life. You watched your grandchildren grow into adults, Ben found a girl, lost in the deserts of Jakku.

You saw it the moment you met her, though you would never tell a soul of her ancestry. Rey quickly became a part of a family and gave you a great granddaughter who named after you.

Finally sixty years after your arrival, forty years after the emperor's demise you and Anakin laid down once more beside each other.

Anakin held you in his arms and you kissed him one last time in your corporeal bodies before both of you became one with the force. Content and happy and together with the force finally, truly balanced across the universe. At least it would be for the next three thousand years. The republic would thrive until amongst the depths of Moraband a spark would ignite. A child would be born and the saga of the Skywalkers would begin again.

The end.

An - Hey, I have used names from the Legends cannon in this part though swapping parentage to accommodate the current Cannon as well. I decided on a happy ending for the galaxy.

Hope you all enjoyed the story. Thank you so much for coming along this journey with me.

Please do no post anywhere else reblogs are fine. Interact and let me know what you think. (I may do an alternative ending)

🍦🍦🍦

@purple-ant is amazing for many reasons, but also for originally sending 🍬(unpopular opinion) and then resending this with a different ask after I answered Boli with my least controversial unpopular opinion. If I had kept giving TRULY unpopular opinions, I would have no mutuals left, and then I'd be so sad, and I'd cry. 🥺

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

ANAKIN SKYWALKER 😠 (he knows what he did) * 1. Hayden Christensen! For all the pushback he got back in the PT, he truly did a beautiful job with a very tricky role and nailed Anakin's sinister immaturity in SUCH a compelling way (and looked great doing it) Love the actor, and I love watching him play Anakin! 2. There's some underlying subtle sweetness to the character before he falls, the scene where he buys the fruit for the gang in TPM, his kindness to Mill in the Brotherhood novel, the way he WORRIES about Obi-Wan worrying about HIM, the fact that he speaks droid and what that says about his fundamental want for connection and communication that flows both ways...

3. He infuriates Dooku in a way that produces some of the funniest, dumbest lines and behavior from an otherwise articulate, controlled person. "Twice the pride, double the fall" or "I would kill you if I didn't have to DRAG YOUR BODY" all their scenes together, especially in TCW, oh my god you can just hear Dooku's mental gears just SHREDDING themselves to pieces trying to come up with something appropriately shitty to say fast enough. Like this 80-something Sith Lord has been reduced to the maturity level of bitchy teenager by the mere PRESENCE of Anakin Skywalker and that. is. hilarious.

In Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Dooku just sees Anakin on security camera, like he's not even in the actual room, and his response is to have an enraged, jealous meltdown, complain to Yoda that Anakin is clearly his new favorite boy now, throw an unrelated woman through a window, drop a literal bomb on himself, and then jump out of a five story building. In like. Half a page. Smooth.

*killed everybody, balanced the Force in the stupidest way possible, executed my boyfriend

#anakin skywalker #answered asks #thanks Ant!!#this was so fun!!

So I just went to a con and got a photo op with Hayden Christensen himself (also, same day, missing his autograph that I bought bc of the fucking crowds, that I’m still going through intense waves of grief about and might need therapy to recover). I’m seeing a lot of people I follow, mostly artists, post pics of their own photo op and I was wondering….did you go?

oh no :( I’m really sorry you missed the autograph time because of crowds :( but you got a picture!! that feels just as good if not better!!! though it still sucks :(

I’ve actually never been to a convention, even if I’ve lived in a lot of cities that have amazing ones! I’m sure theyre very fun and I’ve heard great things about Star Wars conventions and how lovely the actors have been!! It looks really fun and I’m glad peoples’ experiences are great 🤩

#asks #there’s something about conventions where I just know I wouldn’t have fun #probably the crowds #100% the crowds #COVID ruined me lol #also even though all reviews of meeting both ewan and Hayden have been so good #I need like 25 degrees of separation between me and any actor #this is diagnosable probably but I do not want to be seen or known by any famous person but probably especially actors from franchises #that I really love

Thoughts on Ahsoka so far (Episode 4)

I could talk about what I enjoyed about this episode, like Sabine's emotional conflict or the lightsaber fights, or how great Diana Inosanto, Ray Stevenson, and Ivanna Sakhno are in their roles, or even how Ahsoka felt more rounded as a character this episode than previously.

I could also talk about everything else.

I could talk about the bizarre decision to cgi/de-age Hayden Christensen when he is already a middle-aged actor playing a middle-aged (and dead!) character.

I could talk about how Hera feels so flattened as a character in 2.5 hours Ahsoka compared to how alive she feels in 30 minutes of Rebels.

I could talk about how ludicrous an idea is one great military genius single-handedly reversing the fortune's of a crumbling empire, and how Filoni has bought into the Thrawn-hype that Timothy Zahn himself tried to dismiss.

I could talk about Filoni playing favorites with Ahsoka and bending the story around her.

I could talk about how annoying it is that the New Republic has been reduced to squabbling bureaucrats who exist only to get in the way of the military heroes, among Filoni's long list of reactionary politics.

I could talk about how irritated I am that all this is so that a white American man can smash his action figures together on-screen and ask us to pay Disney to watch him.

I could talk about the casual use of genocide in SFF merely for an individual character's sympathy points, and then immediately moving on.

I could talk about how the three main actors of color are 1) a transphobe credibly accused of a hate crime, 2) playing a lightwashed version of the character, and 3) playing the scary ethnic "indistinguishable-from-humans-but-actually-not-human-alien" sorceress.

But I'm tired today, so I'll just leave this as a list of complaints.

I would like to see Darth Vader and Ezra Bridger argue(Just like a real adults) because It was the First Time that they argue in the end of Rebels season two while Ahsoka Tano laughing tries to stop them argue(Just like in Hunchback of Notre Dame where Quasimodo and Phoebus argue if Esmeralda was here to stop argue) and then when Palpatine tries to capture Ahsoka with the Force, Vader and Ezra yells: "AHSOKA! Let her go!"

And Is that because the actors and voice actors are super great in more Shaskeprian theatrical style(and because Sebastian Shaw, the original actor of Anakin, played A Midsummer Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Othello in the movie Men are not Gods) and even they are americans, i means Matt Lanter, Taylor Gray and Ashley Eckstein are americans while Hayden Christensen Is Canadian, Mena Massoud Is arabian and Rosario Dawson Is Caribbean

#star wars #ezra bridger #darth vader #anakin skywalker #ahsoka tano #mena massoud #taylor gray #hayden christensen #matt lanter #rosario dawson #ashley eckstein #star wars is more space shaskeprian than the original trilogy

Well...I saw some silly Tumblr posts referencing the Matrix with Shadow. And I just watched footage of John Campea revealing it...

Wow. It's true.

I'm sad it's not Andrew Garfield or even Hayden Christensen. But Keanu is a great actor. So, I have faith in them casting him.

But there goes my EXTREMELY SILLY theory of Andrew leaving Del Toro's Frankenstein for Sonic movie 3. But honestly, it's still amazing and amusing Keanu turned down the MCU and he's in the third Sonic movie. To me, that's a win no matter what.

Maybe we could still get Andrew in that Bioshock movie.

The fact that i first watched the original and prequel trilogy as a kid and ive watched episode 1, 5, 6 and 4 so much but watching the remaining two still has me needing to prepare myself because ep 2 has so much cringy Anakin like goshdamn this disaster man somehow managed to seduce the most beautiful woman in the galaxy and ep3 is this messy divorce where everything is just tragic. (And yes the divorce happens two times in my mind, with palpatine being that fucking bitch).

(The actors are so great, damnit can't believe Hayden Christensen shows how perfectly disastrous this pre-Darth Vader fuckaround Jedi is, and Ewan McGregor has done a fantastic Obi-Wan, he is so wet cat, bitchy elegant slut that he is, and Natalie Portman's Padme is so wild, so tragic and so ready to throw down i still love that she could have been using the Force and in another world was ready to kill her husband)

(I still say a threesome would have solved the galaxy they all had chemistry that now i as an adult can fucking see)

Here are my thoughts from my first viewing of Revenge of the Sith (as I watched it) after having seen the clone wars!

-there are heroes on both sides? really? lux left the separatists at the end of the onderon arc, and he’s the only good separatist we see

-oh boy, the kidnapping of palpatine sure sounds exciting! wish we got to see it on screen. i am not even done with the title crawl and things aren’t going well.

-hell yeah, action! I’m usually not fond of big cgi fights because it’s hard to feel a sense of scale, but this one is working for me. i wonder if it’s because cgi like this was more cutting edge and done by professional artists rather than it’s-technically-not-a-sweatshop labor.

-Hayden Christensen is.. so good as anakin. the guy voicing him on clone wars was great done get me wrong, but there’s no beating the og

-I wasn’t even alive when the prequels came out, so i can’t say for sure, but tcw is retroactively doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I’m coming into this emotionally invested in the clones and having watched anakin be nudged further and further into unhealthy attachment. See: obi wan putting the mission to save palpatine over himself and anakin putting his friend above the mission despite obi wan reprimanding him

-even when he’s “captured” palpatine is incapable of not looking like a stuffy old man. he’s shackled to a space throne

-that flip was not necessary. dooku is extra and it’s great

-obi wan is so confident that he’ll be able to take dooku like I haven’t watched him an anakin get the run around from him more than once in tcw

-the cgi of the platform falling on obi wan was. odd looking.

-I’m loving how palpatine is in full on shameless villain mode

-the fluctuations in tone are really funny to me in a way I don’t think they’re intended to be. going from dooku’s execution to “wait a minute we’re smarter than this” is giving me whiplash

-i literally can’t go for more than a minute without spotting a memed line. prequelmemes unstoppable

-about the you’re so beautiful scene between padme and anakin on the balcony.. I’m not a very advanced actor, but I do have enough experience to say that this is what poor directing looks like imo. Lucas, buddy, you have got to give them more direction. even the best of actors can’t fly by the seat of their pants for two hours

-the pearl strands on padmes nightgown look so uncomfortable to sleep in

-people tend to misunderstand why the Jedi forbid attachments, and some of it is western fans not understanding Buddhism, but I think it’s mostly the fault of scenes like the one where anakin goes to yoda about his premonition of padme dying in childbirth. it’s just… not said in a way that makes it clear that attachment should be seen as similar to possessiveness

-asking anakin to spy on palpatine, who he is close to, right when his opinion of the council is at an all time low is just.. really foolish. yes, palpatine is getting to the dictator zone at this point. yes, he’s a concern. but don’t you have someone else you could pick? he was just abducted, and if we count tcw, not even for the first time. giving him a full time Jedi bodyguard wouldn’t be unreasonable, and then you could spy on him!

-the window view cityscapes of coruscant have a beauty to them. it’s a contrast to the concrete brutalism in Andor

-that line about darth plagueis being able to create life— is he just referring to prolonging life, or is there an implication that that was how anakin was conceived?

-I’m a sucker for treehouse architecture, I can’t help but love kashyyyk’s design

-Utapau, good to see you and your wildlife fully rendered!

-getting to know all these Jedi in tcw makes seeing order 66 so much more tragic to watch. I’ve learned who aayla secura is, who plo koon is, who the clones are, so it’s so much worse watching it unfold :(

-yoda being carried by chewbacca.. a) yoda cannot resist a piggyback ride b) him being the size of a child taps into the part of my brain that fantasizes about settling down with a nice girl and having her baby with ivf. what maternal juice drugs is in that species

-tcw was often bad at portraying women (the overly sexualized costume designs, for one), but women did get more agency. I’m an hour and a half deep in this movie and padme has done next to nothing to affect the story. by agency i mean acting upon the plot. padme does not act upon the plot. she is acted upon by the other characters. hope that makes sense!

-the dialogue on mustafar is. uh. not to my liking, i have to say, but towards the end of his one on one with padme when obi wan steps out is when I could begin to see darth Vader as we know him in the original trilogy. yeah, we’ve seen how anakin is being pulled to the dark side, but he tells the council that palpatine is the sith lord. he’s friends with obi wan, practically brothers. here is when i can really connect the two in my mind

-the infamous only a sith deals in absolutes line, which is in itself an absolute. the prequels could have been incredible if only there’d been a script advisor capable of saying no to George Lucas

-the grampas are fightinggg

-the anakin obi wan fight choreography seems okay, so why is it being shot like they don’t want us to see it? only getting to see the lightsabers flashing around like a siren light makes it look like they were trying to fix a sloppy action scene in post when it looks perfectly fine

-palpatine thrown ass over teakettle onto his spinny chair. i love this movie and i wish I watched it when i was high on pain meds after getting my wisdom teeth taken out

-if yoda and obi wan had stuck together, they probably could have taken out palpatine and then vader if it was 2 on 1 for both fights. the only explanation for why they had to split up is that it had to happen for the original trilogy to still work. which isn’t all that satisfying for me

-yeaahhhh lava and volcanoes baby!!

-if i had a dollar for every time obi wan cut off a sith’s legs instead of killing them creating a nemesis with so many Problems…

-allow me to take a moment to appreciate ewan mcgregor’s acting chops throughout this whole trilogy

-the way padme and anakin parallel each other in how she’s creating life while dying and his life is saved by becoming a machine/less alive

-it makes sense to me, because of tcw season 6 finale, but qui gon being to one to rediscover becoming a force ghost must have been such a curveball when this movie first came out

-it’s not just coruscant the sky is absurdly lovely on tattooine as well??

-beru gets handed a baby out of nowhere and is like :)

hey! i did it. I’ve finally watched all of the main prequel era content. thank you for reading this far, making these posts has been fun for me. next up is going to be seeing Star Wars rebels for the first time!

Hayden Christensen is a good actor who was given bad lines in the Star Wars movies. It’s not his fault. It is George Lucas’s fault for not being able to write good dialogue. Also Hayden makes a great Anakin

Okay, Disney. Here’s my pitch: The Muppet Star Wars Trilogy. Remake the original three movies — Episodes IV - VI — and only those three, replacing all actors with Muppets except for the following.

Darth Vader: The main bad guy of any Muppet movie is always a human actor, so we shall keep this tradition. But the man in the suit must absolutely, unequivocally be Hayden Christensen. This is not up for debate. He’s earned it. Use that James Earl Jones AI for the voice if you want. (The Emperor should, of course, be portrayed by Pepe the King Prawn.)

Jabba the Hut: I think the absolutely funniest thing Disney could do in a Muppet Star Wars remake is get a big fat Irish guy to play Jabba the Hut. In fact, let’s keep it in the Star Wars family. Jabba should be played by Brendan Gleeson.

Yoda: He’s already kind of a Muppet, so we could keep him. But I think it would be much funnier if Yoda was played by a live action Frank Oz. Just regular human Frank Oz using his normal speaking voice, but still talking all backwards.

Muppet Cast Luke Skywalker: Piggy is obviously going to be Leia so Kermit should not be Luke. Luke should be played by Walter from the 2011 movie.

Princess Leia: Miss Piggy. Duh. Weren’t you just listening?

Han Solo: This is where we will cast Kermit.

Chewbacca: Fozzie Bear.

C-3PO & R2-D2: Bunsen & Beaker.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Pops.

Grand Moff Tarkin: Sam the Eagle.

General Dodonna: Rowlf the Dog. We will also use him for General Rieekan in TESB and General Madine in ROTJ.

Wedge Antilles: Scooter

Figrin D’Ann and The Modal Nodes: Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. They will also play the Max Rebo Band in ROTJ.

Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru: Wayne & Wanda.

Stormtroopers: Penguins.

Lando Calrissian: Gonzo the Great. It means we have to wait a movie to get him, but the casting is too perfect.

Lobot and Cloud City security: Camilla and chickens.

Boba Fett: Lew Zealand.

Emperor Palpatine: Pepe the King Prawn, as mentioned.

Rancor: Sweetums.

Salacious Crumb: Rizzo the Rat.

Gammorean Guards: Link Hogthrob, Julius Strangepork, other pigs.

Mon Mothma: Annie Sue.

Admiral Ackbar: Swedish Chef.

Ewoks: Let’s just make them look like the actual Ewoks but Muppets instead of little people in suits.

Make it happen, Disney!

"In May of 2022, Christensen reprised his role of Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader for the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series on Disney+. His portrayal earned positive reviews from critics, noting a huge improvement from his performance in the prequel trilogy."

LMAO. Hayden Christensen is, was, and will be a great actor. The improvement we are talking about is the fact that back then it was "cool" to insult him when people didn't get the omg-so-dark-so-cool-teenage-Darth-Vader, but a normal kid and a normal teen. And now it's not "cool", so people can actually focus on his performance.

That "huge improvement" was never needed on his part, but damn, it was time for huge improvement, all right.

I'mma be real, I'm not excited for Bottoms to come out. As much as I love Kaia Gerber, her acting performance isn't great. I don't think she's a good actor, and I don't think she'll improve, and if so, I don't think it's that much. Austin Butler is a good actor, I'm not a Kaia nor am I an Austin stan. However, I do like his work. I think he did a good job as Wil Ohmsford from The Shannara Chronicles, Sebastian Kydd from The Carrie Diaries, James Wilkerson from Switched at Birth, Jacob from iCarly, and as George from Wizards of a Waverley Place, etc etc. I can't say the same for his girlfriend, Kaia.

Kaia, is a talented model. She's great, I love her. But, as an actor. I just don't see it. I'm obviously not going to compare the two because his experience outweighs her, but if I were to compare. I would say Kaia has the same energy as James Garrett from Zoey 101 Season 4 when he goes, "Do you know where I can go get lunch?" in the most, monotone voice imaginable, but it's her whole performance. She can do better with more training, obviously. But, I still just don't see it in my opinion. Not to mention, she kind of doesn't acknowledge that her nepotism plays into her acting career. For some reason, she acknowledges that it plays in her model career, but not in her acting, saying something along the lines of, and I quote: "I won't deny the privilege that I have. Even if it's just the fact that I have a really great source of information and someone to give me great advice, that I alone feel very fortunate for. But with acting, it's so different. No artist is going to sacrifice their vision for someone's kid. That just isn't how art is made, and what I'm interested in is art. No one wants to work with someone who's annoying, and not easy to work with, and not kind." Which, basically is saying; "yeah but the nepotism doesn't apply to me in acting." which... it does.

Her performance in AHS wasn't even bad, it's downright awful. There's a scene I can't forget which is basically one of the main characters is about to get attacked. Kaia, who is basically defending the main character, says. "RUN!" in the same way Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen isn't a bad actor, it's just an example) from AOTC says, "I don't like sand." just completely void of all emotion. You might be wondering, what do I want from her performance? I wanted her to sound panicked, because her character was panicking. But for some reason, her line delivery is the same as Kristen Stewart going: "woah... what is going on?" In Twilight, it's just bad. She doesn't sound panicked nor shocked, she just sounds completely void of emotion, not in shocked, not surprised, not panicked, not anything. The max she does is raise her voice by 3 octaves- maybe.

In my opinion, in order to become a good actor, you at least have to acknowledge what got you there. The people that got you to the spot you are. Austin, her boyfriend, does this all the time. I see him give credit to other people, I see him say he wants to become like Brad Pitt, like Leonardo DiCaprio, he loves acting, and you can see it, you can tell. He's humble, he treats his publicist amazing, and he gives her credit, saying she's always there for him. He gives credit to his acting coach, to his agent, to Baz, to Tom. The guy seems humble, and he gives credit, he acknowledges that he wouldn't be where he is today, without people.

Kaia doesn't have this in her, due to her refusing to acknowledge that nepotism. I don't think she'll become a good actor, and if so, not a humble one. Her boyfriend can acknowledge that strings were pulled so he could get the role of Elvis. But, she can't acknowledge that her name got her to where she is today. I really don't see it for her, which is why I'm not excited for Bottoms.

Maybe Kaia will be a good actor, maybe she won't be. But so far, from what I've seen. She hasn't been, she's been cringe. As a model, she is brilliant, she has an amazing cat walk. But, as an actor, I'm sorry. She's just not promising at all.

i think it’s a little unfair to just assume she’ll never improve when bottoms, and her other projects, haven’t been released at large yet. and when during ahs she was ‘singled out’ as a bad performance whereas there isn’t a single review of bottoms from the 25+ already out that says she sticks out in a bad way. while there are reviews that say the cast is a strong ensemble with no weak ones out and reviews that say positive things about her in general.

and i would really prefer to not drag the nepo ‘statement’ discourse out on here again but idk. maybe an unpopular opinion but i don’t think what she said was as terrible as people make it out to be. it was a little delulu sure, but delulu in regards to the concept of ppl not hiring nepo babies if they’re assholes. and i think it says something about her work ethic and who she is as a person that she thinks you shouldn’t be hired if you’re unkind/hard to work with no matter what your last name is. saying she “refuses to acknowledge it” just objectively isn’t true when she very much has- even if you didn’t particularly like how she went about it.

kaia hasn’t been interviewed about acting a great deal- but when she talks about modeling she has talked about influences before, and i think the whole reason she does book club is because she likes discussing people, thinkers, and books that have shaped her. so i don’t think it’s fair to say ‘well austin is humble because he talks about others, she doesn’t!’ either.

we can agree to disagree, but those are just my thoughts.
