“I know you,” she said. And you like me anyway? Percy wanted to ask, but he held it back.

This album is about how two men broke her heart just months apart and how she was quite literally going through a mental breakdown while trying to put on a front while performing for millions of people on a world tour but you wouldn’t know that because you’re either so caught up in trying to figure out who each song is about or your so caught up in your hate for her that you’d rather make fun of her in her most vulnerable, raw, and honest state just to make yourself feel better

"Last night the commander told me not to sing 'The Hanging Tree' anymore. Too dark, he said. Too rebellious, more like it. I promised he'd never hear it from my lips again."

key to understanding star wars is knowing that anakin is george’s poor little meow meow

[purplepomegranate08]

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: for fourteen years now, hayden christensen has gotten so much hate for playing anakin, when, realistically, he did such a good job. hayden not only acted anakin skywalker as the perfect angst-ridden, overeager, self-destructive-for-the-sake-of-trying-to-save-something-much-more-important person that anakin was, but he really Got the character. coupled with cheesy lines, a fucking greenscreen in EVERY SCENE HE HAD TO ACT IN, and direction that kept telling him to pull back when he could have been playing anakin at full capacity, i think that his portrayal of anakin was spot on. hayden spent so much of the movies shaking and vibrating and fucking TREMBLING with pent up anger and frustration and rage and passion and love, simmering constantly with the war inside of anakin to save padmé; save the one person in his life that he loved more than ANYTHING. even while pulling back as much as george lucas directed him to, you can clearly see the way that anakin was being torn apart from the very beginning of attack of the clones, while juxtaposing that by acting like a whiny angsty teenager, who wanted to be viewed as great as he thought he was on the road to becoming. you could clearly see his grapple with power coming out through not only foreshadowing (which attack of the clones did a stellar job with displaying), but in hayden’s acting of anakin. even in lighter scenes with padmé, you can see some of that anger and passion seeping and slipping through. you could see glimpses and fragments of the person anakin was turning into in spite of everything he did to try and stop his worst nightmares from coming true. hayden showed the essence of who anakin was as a man, as the monster he turned into (in a horribly, disastrously misguided attempt to save the woman that was his whole world). hayden christensen played anakin skywalker the best he fucking could under the shitty circumstances he was given and i will defend him until i die and then beyond the grave

"The biggest problem in the universe is that no one helps each other" (Anakin Skywalker - TPM)

I usually like to make jokes and enjoy fandom and it usually is pretty great, this is a good fandom to have a good time but this tendency I have seen recently towards saying "Shmi was already acting as a Jedi without knowing it , she could let go of her Son and was ready to stay on Tatooine" makes me mad, way to twist the fact that Shmi gave up her Son to Qui-Gon because she didn´t want him to live with a bomb inside his body and be a slave for the rest of his life, way to twist the sacrifice of a mother who only wanted the best for her child even if it keep her on slavery at the whim of her slave master and way to wash off the hands of the Jedi for allowing that injustice.

I guess Lucas said it best "Only the orphan Anakin cared about Shmi" that´s how the tragedy starts. This original abandonement was the root of everything else that happened in the story, it´s the reason why the darkside begins to grow inside of Anakin and it´s a tragedy because it could have been avoided so easily if someone had shown even a little bit of genuine compassion and care towards Shmi and her Son for the sole reason that it was the right thing to do. I like Qui-Gon but it´s quite clear he only got interested on Anakin because he was force sensitive, if he wasn´t he would have been left on Tatooine just like Shmi. That´s the sad truth of the story, the root of the story is that no one cares enough in the prequel trilogy to try to make changes.

Further works and fandom material have tried to make this impact less by having Sabé or some other Jedi try to do something about Tatooine and Shmi but the original story as it was shown in the movies by Lucas, is that Shmi was left alone on Tatooine, nobody came back for her and the Jedi prevented her from comunicating with her Son and Anakin for looking for her. Only Owen´s dad managed to free her and Anakin meet her again just to see her die after being tortured for weeks.

This is how Vader "the shadow" of the darkside was born inside of Anakin, as if a part of Anakin reflected, you don´t care about my Mom? I will make you care. Sure, it´s not the correct reaction to have but it makes so much sense for a grieving Son to react this way.
