Lovisa scaled up the vines, that led to her balcony, in the castle, after another late night, or you could say early morning, and it was a rough one, she was excited to crawl into bed, and sleep it all away.

"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" She had heard the king bellow, just as she climbed over the railing, which had frightened her so much, she ended up toppling onto the cold hard ground, right in front of the open doors, to her bedroom.

"Oww." She groaned.

What the Princess hadn't realised, either, was that her father's voice was coming from her very own room.

"Lovey!?" Her mother's panicked voice paced towards the balcony, as other footsteps followed.

"Oh... shit" She whispered to herself, as she flicked her long dark hair, back over her head, looking up at the group of people staring at her.

Padme, her mother and her father, an man with light brown hair, that was cut into a mullet, who she recognised as Obi-Wan Kenobi, someone she hadn’t seen since she was a young girl, and beside him, was a blond, younger looking man,as well as a very serious faced man, who she knew as one of the council members of the Jedi Force.

Beside him, was her Royal Guard, who looked as though he had been sweating bullets.

"Wow, I sure am glad that I decided to wake up this early to watch the sunrise, isn't it magnificent?" She asked the group of people, who were still staring at her, in silence.

"Princess, are you quite alright?" Kuna asked, moving to help her up from the floor.

"Lovisa, where the hell have you been?" Her father demanded, not believing her lie for a second.

"Isn't it obvious, she snuck out to go into the village, again" Padme, told him.

"Hey, Pad, shut up!" Lovisa told her.

"Why were you not watching over her, Kuna?" Her mother asked, turning to the man, quick to pass blame off from her youngest daughter.

"Your highness, well you see- I-" the man stuttered over himself.

"Well, now that we know that the young princess is in fact, okay, why don't we give you all some privacy, and wait downstairs, yes?" Obi-Wan suggested, politely.

"Yes, thank you." The queen nodded.

"Kuna, you may pack your things, your job here, is done" The king said, not taking his eyes off his daughter. “You have been useless to the princess, for years.”

"What?!" Lovisa jumped up. "But father! He didn't know, don't fire him!"

"He is not needed, because you have new guardians, now, who I am sure will do their job"

Lovisa paid attention to the three men who were walking out of her room, the young blond was looking over his shoulder, at her, a smirk on his lips, it looked almost familiar to her, but she was not sure why.

"What's going on?" She asked

"Ahsoka will be in to help you get properly dressed, then you will meet us in the dining room." Her father said. "This is important, Lovey, I beg that you to take this seriously, just once."

His voice turned weak, as he said that, then her family turned, and they left the room, too.

As they walked out, Lovisa's handmaiden, Ahsoka, and also her best friend, entered.

"Thanks for the warning." Lovisa grumbled, as she got up, stripping from the small sparkly number she had been wearing.

"Sorry, Lovey, I had no chance, a lot has happened." Ahsoka apologised, as she raided Lovisa's large wardrobe, picking out an elegant pale blue, long sleeve dress.

"What happened? Why are the Jedi here?"

"There was another attack" Her friend replied, in a low and hushed tone. "In the castle, this time. I don't know much else, Luckily they had got here, to help, but the attackers escaped."

"And everyone's okay? No one was hurt?"

"Not badly, no, but... they were after Padme-"

"Of course they were"

"And you, Princess. They were after the both of you, that's why everyone was in your room, the attacker had tried looking for you, but for once, your rebellious tendencies had saved you."

"But, what were they after me for?"

"I am not sure." Ahsoka hummed, as she helped Lovisa dress herself.

Once her tiara was placed upon her head, Lovisa left her bedroom, her arm linked with Ahsoka, as they made their way to one of the dining rooms.

"Princess, I see that you were located." One of the guards, Colo, said, as he opened the door for her.

"Yes I was, thank you, Colo." She smiled, as she bowed her head, at him. "I hear that my hiding did a great fortune, for my life."

"You are very lucky, Princess." He winked, knowingly.

"Lovisa, get a move on!" The king barked.

"Bye, Colo." She quickly dismissed, as she entered the room full of people, as they sat around the table. "Well, good morning, everyone." She greeted.

In front of her seat, was the usual shot that she was made to take, after events, followed along with the strawberry milk, her favourite.

She threw back the glass, a shiver taking over her body, before sipping on the pink drink.

"I hear we have serious business to attend to-"

"Sit down, and be quiet."

"Yes, father." She sighed, sitting down next to her sister, she looked over her shoulder, spotting her friend stood by the wall, with Padme and her mothers handmaidens.

"I assume Ahsoka has caught you up on what has happened." Her mother said, as she nervously flicked her eyes around the group of people.

"Yes, but, why? What do they want with me?"

"Well, Princess" Master Windu started, his fingers laced together on the table. "We believe that it could ultimately be three things, either, use you as an bargaining chip, to force your father into meeting whatever demands they have, or they want to kill the both of you off, ending your bloodline, or ... at least one of you."

"What do you mean?"

"They only need one princess to marry into the royal family." The young blond man spoke up, the one who had smirked at her earlier.

"Anakin." The man with the mullet, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi told him.

"And you know this, how?"

"Because they do!" Padme snapped at her.

"So who is they?"

"We are not sure." Master Windu, answered, with a heavy sigh.

"But the Jedi have promised to find out who it is." The king said.

"We will, I assure you." Obi-Wan answered.

"But, after last night, we have decided that the two of you are just not safe in the Kingdom."

"Mother!" Padme gasped.

"What?!" Lovisa demanded.

"It's too much of a risk. So you will be travelling to The Lake District, for the foreseeable future."

"No." Lovisa stood up.

"Pardon?" The king challenged his youngest daughter.

"Im not going into hiding, they only want Padme, anyway, besides, I can protect myself." She folded her arms across her chest.

"You will be going." The king also stood up. "Because Master Obi-Wan, and his Padawan, will make sure of it."

Lovisa scoffed, as she looked at the pair.

"They can try."

Lovisa almost missed the way, Anakin's face had screwed up in offence, as she turned to continue staring down her father.

"Please, Lovey" Her mother almost begged. "We just want to make sure you are safe."

"And at least we can assure you're not sneaking off to god knows where." Her father commented with a grumble.

"If I hadn't, I'd be dead, by now." She replied.

"You will leave within the hour, I suggest you pack, you are all dismissed." The king of Naboo stepped away from the table, and towards one of the many doors.

"Mother, this isn't fair." Lovisa looked at the woman.

"Well, honey, we didn't ask someone to assassinate our only daughters." She snapped, following after the man.

Padme got up from the table, her handmaiden, Sabé, following in her steps, as they left for her chambers, knowing when her choices were limited, better than her sister.

"Princess, would you like me to begin packing?" Ahsoka asked, as she sat back down.

The Jedi at the table, were also leaving the room.

"Very well." Lovisa answered, defeat clear in her voice.

"Princess, I am very good at my job."

She looked up, at the blond man, or boy, who looked similar to her own age, Anakin.

"My name is Anakin Skywalker, and I will lay down my own life, before I let anything happen to you." He told her, as she looked at him, he was quite handsome, she noticed.

"Don't worry, Im not the important sister" She said.

"No, but I aim to prove you wrong, Princess, I won't be trying, I will succeed." He told her, his face full of sincerity. Then he turned and walked out the room, his robes flowing behind him.

"We'll see about that." She muttered quietly, to herself.

"Lovey, there is no need to make his job harder than it needs to be" Ahsoka chided, having watched the whole thing, as she had not left, yet.

"Well, Snips, I don't like to be proven wrong." Lovisa continued to watch his back, sensing a new task.

"So you're happy to wage your life?"

"If that's what it takes" She shrugged.

Tales of the Jedi

This was fun, if a bit of a mixed bag. It started off kind of slow, but right when I figured that the eps would be more about vibes than plot, bam, plot all over the place.

Also, is it just me or is the animation kind of uneven? Some characters look amazing and others really truly don't. Unfair to compare to TCW S7 obviously, but still.

The Dooku episodes have a clearer arc than the Ahsoka ones, but I'm not sure about the attitude toward the Jedi. It's Dooku and he becomes a Sith so he's obviously wrong, except you get the sense the story only very reluctantly agrees?

There's no real arc to Ahsoka's stories, they mostly just make her seem badass, which might be enough for Filoni tbh.

Random thoughts:

First ep felt very Disney, like when all the animals visit Bambi, and then there's the streak of paint on the forehead like Simba.

Have we ever seen Ahsoka bond with animals like that?

Young Qui-Gon looks great, but I am very curious as to who decided to give him such a lovingly rendered cartoon cleavage.

Also, does this mean that ridiculous padawan haircut Obi-Wan and Anakin had was a *choice*?

Wtf did they do to Mace Windu? I know Filoni has (least) favorites, but he wasn't like this in TCW?! Ugh, why?! It's so predictable and boring.

I'm pretty sure ep4 messes with a whole bunch of existing canon and timelines, but I adore it anyway.

Love the exchange between Dooku and Qui-Gon. The comments about Obi-Wan are interesting, it doesn't sound like Qui-Gon's that effusive but apparently he is?

Yaddle rocks. She might be one of my faves now. When she lifts up that door and the Force theme plays with the light behind her, OMG.

The parallels with Anakin and Dooku are very blatant in this ep.

Love the time jumps in ep5, that said, WTF ANAKIN?! No idea what would be worse, that no other Jedi found out or no other Jedi put a stop to it.

Also, I'm pretty sure this messes with timelines again, because how is Caleb already an apprentice to Depa?

Ep6: Bail Organa continues to be amazing.

Ahsoka's great but beating an Inquisitor without a lightsaber in only a few moves? Really?

Did like the convo about the Empire, and how one side was absolutely proven right

Most importantly: Mullet Obi-Wan (with armor!) was exactly as glorious as hoped, but there wasn't enough of him. And absolutely no Cody either. BOOO!

I truly did enjoy it though. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I liked them and hope they do more, maybe about other Jedi?

Things to make Attack of the Clones possibly a better movie

Stuff about Anakin

Anakin would take after Matt Lanter’s portrayal in the Clone Wars in terms of charm and personality, though not that Hayden Christensen doesn’t do a good job. Here me out; when not speaking that terrible dialogue, Haydensen brings the right amount of sensitivity, physicality, and frustration in Anakin’s evolving maturity. 

I’d like to think Anakin would be like a romantic-era poet in the body of a jedi (like a samurai John Keats?). After all, I can see some of Lucas’s intent with him spouting off that half-baked prose in the movies. When he’s Darth Vader, he does a better job with wordplay and Shakespearean themes. Anakin more likely resembles a Byronic hero, “Historian and critic Lord Macaulay described the character as ‘a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection’”

In wooing Padme, Anakin has secretly been an avid scholar of galactic literature (reading stuff the Jedi order would frown upon) in hopes to try and meet her on her level and mature. He’s a fan of space fantasy novels (in the likes of Edgar Rice Burrough’s John Carter of Mars, but for Star Wars), and is a hopeful romantic. He wishes to explore more that the galaxy has to offer and feels constrained by the rigidity of the Jedi order. He and Padme connect on that level of Byronic romance.

As I said in my previous post, the age gap between Anakin and Padme is considerably smaller. (only about 3 years; he’s 23 and she’s 26)

Anakin is much less predatory around Padme than in the original film. I’d more rather have it that they’re both into one another but tragic pining ensues because they find out how much they get along after they’ve been apart.

I don’t know how to solve the mass murder of the tusked raiders scene; I wish it wasn’t there and I wish his mom didn’t get fridge as hard as she did

If there had to be a more docile option, maybe Anakin arrived on Tatooine and learned his mom died years before and he didn’t know about it until just then. It’s too literal to have him holding his dead mother in his arms, and I would think it’s much more cold and painful to learn that your loved one died years ago and you were unaware of it. 

His “early turn to the dark side” scene could involve him being more reckless and cutting down flesh and blood enemies during the arena scene, perhaps he kills Jango???

Stuff about Padme

Padme is much more proactive and #thatbitch when it comes to standing up against the rising imperial/fascist mentality within the senate, one of the reasons why some people might want her dead; make her AOC but in spaaaaaaaaaace

Darth Sidious wanted Padme killed for her opposition to the Military Creation Act which would allow the creation of an army to fight the Separatists for the Republic. Since Sidious was manipulating both the Separatists and the Republic, he put a bounty on Padme's head as Nute Gunray's grudge against her was powerful enough that he demanded her death as the condition for secession of the Trade Federation from the Republic

However, not only because of that, but also through her own investigative journalism, Padme discovers the Trade Federation’s shady business practices and ties to the growing separatist alliance and exposes this to the public, thus causing more of a demand for her death and exacerbation of tensions

She’s been having a hard time forming true relationships because of her position of power and being under public scrutiny all the time, thus after coming to respect and care for Anakin, resolves to minimize that scrutiny as much as possible

Stuff about Obi-wan

Jedi Mullet? I don’t think so. Make it more like this

(something a little less mullety, still luxurious, and he keeps the beard)

He’s not necessarily a paragon when it comes to no attachments, and he uses his attractiveness to his advantage and he knows it. 

Anakin does serve as his foil, but when he’s on his own it would be nice if he had a companion as well to mirror Anakin and Padme’s journey together. Perhaps an introduction of Satine, thus developing their relationship early on? A different female foil? Or just a buddy from work like Quinlan Vos? Idk.

He’s still in the sort of learning curve when it comes to being a master, and there can be a few times Anakin can prove him wrong. Obi-wan comes to respect his initiative by the end of the film and not be so critical of him (I mean Anakin had just lost an arm and all)

His relationship with Padme is still amicable, but meets a point of tension when discussing Anakin’s behavior and development. Their points of view differ when it comes to how Jedi can express themselves and she critiques some of the more questionable morals and practices of the Jedi

Things about the plot

Officials within the Republic government knew about the clones (and so did some Jedi). Palpatine organized a committee (engineering the pointless war behind the shadows) and they ordered the clone army after the whole Naboo crisis ten years prior to the events of Attack of the clones. Everyone knew tensions were brewing between the potential Seperatists and the Republic and the Republic wanted to beat them to the punch.

Which Jedi in particular knew? 

(Ooh! Ooh! What if some Jedi, even on the council, had already turned to the dark side and were working for Palpatine, and in the end by the time of Order 66 they help bring down the order, only to then be killed themselves by Palpatine and Vader (rule of 2)?)

The fight scene between Sidious and the jedi would have them turning against each other while Sidious finishes them off to show the ineptitude and corruption of the once pure Jedi order

Syfo Dyas was the Jedi ambassador to the senate and was convinced/manipulated to assist Palpatine; he helped order the clones and was ready to defend the republic, but when the full plot was revealed to him, he tried to make a run for it and tell the Jedi Order, only to end up assassinated. The order of the clone army a secret was kept until the Separatists fully declared war on the Republic. 

Count Dooku also knew when he was still a jedi and on the council. However, he had secretly turned to the darkside and was working for Palpatine/Sidious as a spy until he ultimately left the order to become the leader of the separatists. He had prior knowledge that Palpatine had engineered the war (note: an addition to my Phantom menace post, Syfo Dyas and Dooku would make appearances in Episode 1 to establish a precedent to the plot of this movie).
