One of my favourite things about canon compliant codywan is how it makes anakin comparatively SO high strung. Like Obi-Wan is just chillin with his low-key lover, having tea, meanwhile Anakin is CONSTANTLY fretting and resentful and angsting over his wife. O66 happens, and Obi-Wan's partner gets mind controlled and he just gets on with things and tries to save Anakin. Anakin meanwhile is self-fulfilling-prophecy-ing his way to a dead wife and the dark side.
Can someone please explain to me how in the name of God Palpatine was even able to gain so much access to Anakin? It's implied he's been keeping him close since Phantom Menace. Like I can understand after he's been knighted but as a padawan???? And not just ANY padawan but the notoriously unstable, taken-in-far-too-late-trained-by-a-barely-qualified-freshly-knighted-king-of-sass-and-oh-btw-we-think-he's-the-chosen-one padawan?? That one??? Surely there must have been parameters in place to protect Jedi children from just this sort of manipulation???? Not to mention keeping a close eye on this one in particular???
Like if it weren't so sad it would be (and admittedly is) hilarious how oblivious everyone is.
Like just imagine fucking Yoda and Mace chilling and thinking to themselves "Hmm where's that boy Anakin, you know the one we really did not think it would be a good idea to train lmao" and someone just cheerfully reasssures them "Oh don't worry his kindly pseudograndpa who is definitely not grooming him has taken him to the Opera! For cultural enrichment" Like??? Honestly I know no one suspects Palpatine is a Sith, but he's sure as hell a creepy old politician with a propensity for hanging around little boys. How is no one's alarm bells ringing?? How are the pedophilia accusations not pouring in??
I feel like An Anakin free from palpys influence, would take to being a parent like he does with most things.
Competent. But so very goofy.
Anakin leaves the jedi order and commits to being a the malewife to Padmè's chancellor.
You can often catch The Hero With No Fear walking around the senate rotunda baby talking at the twins. He's got them both in papoose. And about 5 different toys swirling around his head to distract the babies while he fishes out the perfect temperature bottles out of his bag because it's feeding time and hes not going to mess up their feeding schedule because it might cause issues with the nap schedule.
Dude trips over his feet and instead of catching himself with the force so none of them get hurt he just holds the babies in the air while he face plants right in front of padmè's office.
The first time he puts the twins in different papoose' after they can hold their own heads up he forgets he's got one of them on his back.
And spends a good 5 minutes freaking out in the living room before padmè tells him that he's got both babies and leia's just right there anakin oh my gods.
Leia takes a bit longer to walk than luke does and Anakin is losing his shit over all the parenting books. He's going stir crazy even though everyone tells him some babies walk later and it's ok.
Turns out Leia could walk as early as luke did but liked being held and carried everywhere 😌 and now he's just never letting her go.
People: Leia shouldn't forgive Anakin because of all he did. Leia is nothing like Anakin, he's not her father.
Me: Leia should forgive Anakin simply to prove to you idiots that she's nothing like him. He is her father, and Anakin would never have forgiven a parent for doing what he's done. You're literally nullifying your own argument by making Leia the exact same as him?
Also, Leia IS like Anakin. Luke is like Padmé. Accept it and move on.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it? Please let me know?

Anakin put his knife away, looking at the crude little heart with an A + O in the middle of the old oak tree in the emperors courtyard. He looked to the other little boy beside him and gave a smile taking his hand.
“Do you have to go, Anakin?” Obi-Wan lower lip was wobbling as he looked down holding Anakin’s hand tightly, desperately trying not to cry now. “I know its a great honor to be chosen as a page, under my uncle Qui-Gon-Jinn. But I’m going to miss you.” Obi-Wan looked into Anakin’s blue eyes.
“I do, I can’t be a servant forever. Mom needs me, plus when I come back as a knight? We can be together.” Anakin excitedly explained to the other nine year old boy. “Don’t cry Obi, it won’t be that long.” He encouraged.
Obi-Wan wasn’t a crying type of child, he only cried when something was desperately upsetting. “Bu-but, You’ll have to become a Darth knight! So much so that the emperor’s hunting hounds. The most elite of his knights.” Obi-Wan was balling using his long sleeves to wipe his eyes, the way all children did.
Anakin hugged Obi-Wan tightly helping the prince sooth himself.
“Then that’s what I’ll do, I’ll become a sith. Gane my title as a Darth and come back to you.” Anakin pressed their foreheads together. “I promise.” He vowed to the little prince with the copper hair.
Chewing his lip for a moment, Obi-Wan locked eyes with Anakin. “You’re supposed to seal promises with a kiss.” Obi-Wan informed with that know it all prince tone of voice. “I promise that I will wait for you Anakin.” Obi-Wan gave Anakin a simple child like kiss as he ripped a button off his soft green play dress.
A copper button with a running rabbit was place into Anakin’s hand.
“I promise” Anakin held button close to his chest….
That little copper button had been with Anakin, now Darth Vader for seventeen years.
Vader had the button on a thin chain around his neck, the running rabbit that was impressed onto the copper was hardly there. Worn down from years of him wearing the button. It was hard to believe how small the button was, or how big it used to feel in his hand.
He couldn’t bring himself to get rid of the copper, or smith it into something else. Because every time he looked at the little round copper, he would think of the smell of jasmine. Being in the shade of that old oak tree, and the sweet little kiss that he had shared with Prince Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In a way? Vader considered that kiss to be the end of his boyhood.
After that little kiss, life as a knights page started. Magics, saber training, battles, negations, dragon taming, the loss of his right arm, War and glory.
The emperors attention and approval.
Anakin had earned his title as a Darth, one of the three hunting hounds of Emperor Sidious.
His favorite.
Anakin Skywalker was now Darth Vader, rider of excautor the largest of dragons in the empires control.
•I'm sure this has probably already been done somewhere, but the scene on Revenge of The Sith where Palpatine is laughing in the Senate hover (bumper) cars hall, dubbed over with Mandarc's voice from Dexter's Labratory.
You're welcome.
•Commander Fox trying to explain his problem/s to his brothers with only screaming and emphatic hand gestures.
(They panic hug him when he starts crying after they both just give him thumbs up.)
•Star Wars The Clone Wars movie set Au where the actor playing Anakin can't stop bursting out laughing after every single one of his 'Dark and brooding scenes', making the other's join in with him.
The actors playing the clones are a huge family of Kiwi's and are a mix of husbands, fathers, brothers, cousins, nephews etc and they're always caught goofing off or breaking the fourth wall during filming and are the absolute life blood of the set always making each other and everyone burst out laughing, or into tears during really emotional scenes.
The Togruta actress playing Ahsoka impressing everyone with her screeching, Pteradactal impressions.
The actors playing Anakin and Padme giggling whenever they have a cutesy love scene together. The actors playing the clones make it harder by making kissing noises and stupid faces in the background.
•One of the clone Commanders pops his helmet on one of his little baby vod's heads and all the entire battalion hears is 30 parsecs of a raspberry playing over their shared speaker out of nowhere.
Bonus if it's somehow an open comm channel so anyone in the vicinity of the clones can hear it too.
Imagine several clones sitting in an important meeting and both them and the Jedi suddenly hear that noise crackle over the clone's comms.
1. "And General Greivous' ship the - *Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt~*"
They all stop and stare.
Now Obi-Wan Kenobi can never get that noise out of his head whenever he thinks of or has to face General Greivous -Hence why he never really takes him seriously.
2. A clone is cleaning his weapon and all his brothers around him hear is-
"*Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt~*"
He stops cleaning and stares at his Vod who all stare right back at him, a mixture of disgust and amusement on their faces as they all begin walking out of their shared barracks.
"Keep it to y'self Vod."
"Dis-GUSTING."
"Uh, no, wait! I didn't-!"
"Yeah, yeah, Surrrre~ STANK Vod."
"My name is Tanker-"
"*Distant* Not anymore it's not!"
*Tanker let's out a miserable noise*
3. Another clone trooper named Charmer is trying to 'Charm' his way into the pants of a Senator's intern when that sound goes off over his helmet comm.
"How about you and me go out?"
"A little dinner, a little dancing, a little-*Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt~*"
He's left standing there, embarrassed as she runs away, a hand over her mouth and nose to contain her hysterical laughter.
And The Clone Commander is having an absolutely great time sitting back and watching his little Vod cause some chaos.
I like to flip between Dooku being the wise and knowledgeable master who is the epitome of wisdom and Dooku doing some absolute dumb shit that you would expect from Qui-Gon.
