Sometimes I believe there is a sector in the fandom that truly just don´t get Anakin but also Anakin fans, they don´t think about the fact that there are fans of Anakin who liked him as Darth Vader and is mind blowing to them why we do if it doesn´t have anything to do with the fact Vader is a very cool villain, which he is or because Anakin used to be hot, which he was.
So let me share with you, the first time I saw the old trilogy , I realized some things about Vader:
1.- He was a slave
2.- He is on life support and constant pain, almost dead inside his armor.
3.- Vader is actually serious about wanting to put Order in the galaxy. How he goes about it is what makes him the villain of the story.
4.- He called the Death Star a tecnological abomination, which I believe is the best description I have ever heard about it.
5.- He was the bad guy the heros had to fight.
6.- He is a bad guy who believes the rebellion has a point but that destructive conflict won´t solve anything. He may be speaking from experience.
7.- He´s actually loyal to the Empire, he believes in it as an institution and he is loyal to the Emperor when he isn´t trying to convince him he needs to kill his Son.
8.- He needs help.
9.- Bad guys are not helped, they are killed at the end of the story
10.- Vader is Luke´s father but his teachers are trying to convince him that he isn´t his father and that he needs to kill him.
11.- Luke loves his father but hates Vader, it´s a real problem for him that they are the same person.
12.- Vader loves Luke but is also crazy as hell from the darkside. So even if he wants his Son at his side, he´s not going to be good company for Luke as much as he wants to be.
So as a fan I decided to love him to make up for his rotten role in the story.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Luke going outside his typical hero journey role and decided to save him, because he was his father. Then as his father, Vader decides to save Luke because he is his Son and he loves him and he doesn´t care if he has to die in order to save Luke from his beloved Empire and Master.
Familiar love saved the universe in this franchise and that´s why ROTJ is my favorite Star Wars movie ever, it lives rent free on my mind.
The fact there are fans who believe familiar love in star wars is an attachment or something that leads to the darkside is mind blowing to me.
In this house we respect Star Wars as the story about how the love in the Skywalker family saved the universe.

Forever and Always - Din Djarin x F!Reader
Warnings: none
A/n: just a lil story I created after listening to never grow up by Taylor Swift.
...
"I need you to watch the kid" the mandalorian says, handing you the child. He only ever stops by your cantina on Yavin 4 when he needs something from you. Whether that be to watch the child or to release some stress.
"Hey whoa there, Mando you can't just leave me with your kid every time you have somewhere too dangerous to take him!" You yell at him as the foundling coos in your arms. His little coos and hands on your cheeks break you. "Fine but this is the last time.
"Thank you." He says as he walks back out and to his beat up razor crest.
You carry grogu on your hip as you walk outside and watch as Din departs the small moon. Off to do whatever it is he needed to do. You pray to the maker that he makes it back safe and sound.
***
Din had finished his bounty a little early. It was late into the night, all creatures were sleeping. He walked into your cantina, looking around and he walked into the back where he knows your room is.
His steps are quiet, he can't tell if you and grogu are asleep.
He pauses just outside the door when he hears you. You're singing a soft song to get grogu to sleep. It's a lullaby he's never heard in a language he doesn't know.
He looks at you through his visor and if he didn't know already he'd say this was the moment he knew he was in love with you.
You sense his presence and look up at him with a smile on your face as you continue to rock grogu who is finally sound asleep. You hope Din knows how much you have fallen for him.
With time you'll both confess, grogu needs his parents together after all.

FinnPoe in TROS...
So I just finished rewatching all the Star Wars movies, and completely forgot how Finn and Poe interacted after TLJ...
Can we please talk about how much of an asshole Finn was to Poe and how much of an asshole Poe was to Finn in that movie- like- huh????
Did Disney realize that the fandom was shipping them and decided "hey, we need you to make them practically hate each other." Because that's what it felt like tbh.
Even my brother and dad noticed, as I was watching with them, and questioned it.
Just some random Star Wars thoughts.

Can you imagine such luck? But Flavia did it: "I've waited for this moment for more than a decade but i never imagined I'd be flirting with Hayden Christensen, smiling and whispering at an extremely close distance as if no one else was there."
Hayden Christensen and Flavia Orsini at Star Wars Celebration Europe, London, Apr. 2023

“It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith -
Because now your self is all you will ever have.”
