Disney SW fans who claim to love Anakin but think the Prequels suck, you're part of the problem. And the OT purists who hate the Prequels and then turn around and blame them for why Disney SW sucks...yeah, you're part of the problem too.
One of the many reasons the Disney SW 'Sequels' were so terrible and destructive was because the people making them decided to completely ignore the importance of the Prequels and reject them as an intrinsic part of the saga. And they seemed to believe they were pandering to 'what the fans wanted' by doing this. But the Prequels are half the entire story as Lucas told it, and they just threw it out the window. The Prequels COMPLETED the saga. But Disney pretended that the saga wasn't complete yet and that it was up to them to do so. Instead of just making 'interquel' material from the beginning (like Rogue One, etc), they arrogantly took it upon themselves to 'finish' a story that was already completed back in 2005. And in doing so, Disney also decided to reframe the saga into something decidedly lesser (a repetitive grimdark story where the cycle 'wasn't broken ackshually', instead of an uplifting and transcendent mythic fairytale), but one which would allow them to continue making 'new canon' material indefinitely (cause that is more lucrative for them). But the Prequels had already reframed the saga and given it a very specific meaning. Without the Prequels, ALL of Star Wars loses that meaning. And without a happy ending for the OT characters and an unequivocally positive resolution to the their storyline, the entire saga is rendered into a perpetual tragedy. So, unless and until so-called 'Star Wars fans' can acknowledge and embrace just how intrinsic the Prequels are to the fictional story they supposedly 'like', they will be running around in circles trying to blame Disney's failures on the very thing that Disney so carelessly ignored and discarded in the first place.

I have been playing this exact scenario in my head since the motorcycle appeared. Say the W does offer a ride. Cautious MC refuses to get on the bike without a helmet. Does W already have a spare? Would they get one if MC insisted? Or will MC be walking? Inquiring minds need to know.
Hi Anon,
I like how this has been on your mind since the W's motorcycle first appeared in Book One; you're thinking ahead! They would be very pleased. 😏 (This relates to this ask: here in case you missed it!)
Allow me to sate your curiosity:
Before the MC could even voice some hesitation or a staunch refusal to sit on the bike without proper protective gear, the W presents them with a helmet. (Oh, look it's even the MC's favorite color?? Wow.) So, yes, they're aware of your needs, possibly even your limits, and are willing to adapt to them, because riding their motorcycle and being that close to them already implies a degree of care from the W.
They would sooner walk by your side than let you walk away from them.
Best wishes! 💚

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

Trust in the Chosen One
Yoda was the only Jedi who did not completely trust Anakin from "The Phantom Menace" to "Revenge of the Sith". He was the only member of the Jedi Council who did not want to recruit Anakin by the end of "Menace". Even though Obi-Wan did not believe in the Chosen One prophecy in "Attack of the Clones", Mace apparently did. Yoda kept mum on the subject and merely commented on how the Jedi had become arrogant. In "Revenge of the Sith", none of the Council members trusted Anakin and/or believe in the Chosen One prophecy, except for Obi-Wan. Both Mace and Obi-Wan kept changing their minds when it came to Anakin. Only Yoda was persistent in his distrust. Yet . . . most Star Wars fans continue this ridiculous myth that Mace was the only Jedi Master who never believed in Anakin. Why? I do not know.

The Prequels completed the saga
"The original idea for Star Wars was one movie about the tragedy of Darth Vader. But as the story grew, it ended up being three movies and the backstory was never explained. I decided it would be important to finish it off and do the backstory because things that I thought would be self-evident about the story, the audience didn't get. Over the 10 years after Return of the Jedi, I realized people misunderstood a lot—such as where Anakin came from. So it was a way of finishing the whole thing off." —George Lucas
Lucas repeatedly says here that the Prequels were his way of 'finishing off' the story that he began telling in the Original Trilogy. This is pretty crucial information, but it is yet another element of Lucas' saga that is continually misunderstood. Even after the Prequels were released, not only did many fans STILL completely miss the point of Anakin/Vader as a character (and the fact that his rise, fall, and redemption was the main plotline of the story), but they also failed to appreciate the various ways in which the Prequels mirrored, complemented, and, most importantly, FINISHED the saga. Nowhere is this completion made more explicit than in the RotS novelization (which was written in consultation with Lucas), which states: "it is already over. Nothing can be done to change it". The novelization was released alongside the film in 2005, and it was specifically intended to refer to the events of the Original Trilogy and the Prequels. Far too many fans these days like to apply that famous line to whatever part of 'Star Wars' they want, and in doing so, treat the Disney-canon and Lucas-canon as though they were interchangeable. They are absolutely not. Lucas' saga—aka, the Skywalker saga—is a complete story constructed as two trilogies that perfectly balance one another, both visually and thematically. Disney's canon, by contrast, is inconsistent, incoherent, and open-ended, not to mention inherently destructive to the integrity of the (original) Skywalker saga. It's disingenuous to try to apply that quote to the current Disney canon, which didn't even exist in 2005 and was not factored into that statement at all. The whole point of the Prequels, and particularly the tragic climax of Revenge of the Sith, was to retroactively conclude the story of the Skywalker saga that began with the Original Trilogy. And what story is that? In Lucas' own words, "it’s a certain story about Anakin Skywalker and once Anakin Skywalker dies, that’s...the end of the story."

I want a scene that parellels the moment Jake is saved by Eywa. Neytiri doesn't shoot her bow because the seeds are following Jake. Just follow me here, what if she finds out Quaritch is still alive because Spider confesses he saved him from the wreckage. He couldn't let the man die even after everything and she reacts terribly. Horrified he runs, seeking safety through the forest he knows so well and Eywa[in all her mysterious glory] sends a storm of seeds and covers Spider. For the only force Neytiri has ever listened to is her.
