STAR WARS APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 MAY 19: FAVOURITE CHARACTER | DUO | TRIO ▸ ANAKIN SKYWALKER & OBI-WAN KENOBI

This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals. It was Anakin against Obi-Wan. Personally. Just the two of them, and the damage they had done to each other.

I've seen a lot of praise towards Matthew Stover's novelisation of Revenge of the Sith but honestly nothing could have prepared me for how well written it was?

Look at this shit. It's so powerful. The whole thing is so poetic. The only film novelisation writer who understood the assignment imho.

“Training Anakin and fighting beside him all these years has unlocked something in Obi-Wan. It’s as though Anakin has rubbed off on him a bit, and has loosened that clench jaw insistence and absolute correctness that Qui-Gon always said was his greatest flaw. Obi-Wan Kenobi has learned to relax. He smiles now, and sometimes even jokes. And has become known for the wisdom gentle humor can provide.”

- Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

anakin was not born with the teeth of a star-eater, ferrous-black and always dripping blood. his halo did not used to shine so brightly that it hurt his master's eyes, his skin did not always shift and ripple like the surface of a newly-forming planet as the magma churns beneath. his eyes used to be soft and blue and human. he did not grow into his own radiance like it was an oversized sweater, nor did it grow from within him, transforming him gradually from within; his greatness was thrust upon him by a creature who whispered dark promises with the voices of a thousand evil men. he does not want it, this power, and it does not want him.

he is glad his mother has never known him like this. in the depths of his spiralling despair he finds himself almost glad she died, so that she remembers him as human and not... this. supernova child, borne of the cosmos. sky-walker. he is not the son of the stars, he is the son of shmi - wide-eyed boy, sunburnt cheeks, shock blonde hair. the galaxy will not remember him that way.

they will know him as monstrous. she knew him as kind.

#jase writes #anakin skywalker #the dead star dragon metaphor in the rots novelisation changed something fundamental in my psyche #so i have been braining eldritch dragons au #i might post more about it but for now all i have figured out is that it all starts on mortis with the death of the son i think #i've said it before and i'll say it again i love symbolic cannibalism in star wars. you eat something and you become it #you kill something and you become it no matter how hard you fight against it #and there's nothing you can do to change it #and that interview with sam witwer talking about voicing the son and how his voice was meant to combine all the darksiders ever #hhn. yeah #husbandposting #shmi #he's a mama's boy owie #(cringe) #q :3 #eldritch horror anakin skywalker

#this novelisation is living rent free in my mind #theres just sooo much incredible expansion on the characters state of minds during the course of the film #and the deleted scenes have been added back in ! #why did lucas decide to remove the scene where the delegation of 2000 confronts palpatine #i cant even remember if anakin is there in the film version but the way the novel approaches it is so good #star wars #revenge of the sith #sw rots #anakin skywalker #rots novelization

love/hate that the line ‘alas so long as the music plays, we dance’ is just thrown out at the beginning of da2. the game with the conscious narrative no less? where the characters are trapped by the bounds of time and history. this has already happened. its over none of it can be changed. 

#its very rots novelisation/asoiaf and if this game/series was good hoo boy #text

I love how in the rots novel anakin is like on the brink of a breakdown and meanwhile obi is being the FUNNIEST fucking person on utapao 😭

‘This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it. It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams’

“Anakin.” Obi-Wan’s voice had gone soft, and his hand was warm on Anakin’s arm. “There is no other Jedi I would rather have at my side right now. No other man.”

Anakin turned, and found within Obi-Wan’s eyes a depth of feeling he had only rarely glimpsed in all their years together; and the pure uncomplicated love that rose up within him then felt like a promise from the Force itself.

“I… wouldn’t have it any other way, Master.”

“I believe,” his onetime Master said with a gently humorous look of astonishment at the words coming out of his mouth, “that you should get used to calling me Obi-Wan.”

- Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

not sure exactly how canon the legends novels are at this point (whether it's maybe an 'until proven otherwise' situation) but the revelation in rogue planet that anakin deliberately tests the boundaries and patience of those closest to him in order to gauge whether their love for him is real or not was too much to handle

#like this kid is running around with the fear in the back of his mind that the people in his life are only tolerating him at best #and are only putting up with him because they need something for him #it talks about how he used to test his mother constantly because he always needed to be reassured that her love for him was genuine #he needs to know that even in the face of him disappointing them again and again they won't abandon him #oh now i'm thinking of the rots novelisation quote about how obi wan still loves him even after he becomes a sith and a murderer ... pain 🤡 #star wars #sw legends #star wars legends #anakin skywalker #star wars rogue planet #sw rogue planet
