the real unpopular opinion is that I love the Star Wars prequels and not just 'in spite' of [insert criticism]

it’s so gut-wrenching to remember that maul was 22 when he got cut in half. twenty-two and so brash and impatient and naïve and he doesn’t even register how much has been taken from him yet. twenty-two when he went to lotho minor. twenty-two and experiencing pain beyond what anything should be able to survive; pain so great death would genuinely have been a mercy. twenty-two and rotting and your only coherent thought is stay alive. you don’t realize how fucking young that is till you’re past it. and i’m not even that far past it!! but god like. this dude was just beginning as a person, and then he died; he died the bad death that means you lose your place in the world but not your ability to understand the loss. just. goddamn, man.

#this part of why i love maul #he never had any other choice than to be a monster #raised by sidious #killed when he was barely more than a child #left to rot and lose his mind #there was never another path open to him than violence and madness #and they call him an animal for it #this kind of character breaks my heart and i love him all the more for it

star wars headcanon time:

- so mon mothma (based on the ep3 deleted scenes) knew Padme pretty well. and consequently TOTALLY clocked that she was pregnant. she knew. a bunch of senators knew. they never said anything because they respected her privacy.

- however padme was good at keeping her Secret Affairs under wraps so mon mothma had no idea who the father was. she never guessed it might be anakin bcos everyone knows Jedi don’t do stuff like that.

- padme dies suddenly & mysteriously. shortly thereafter bail organa and his wife announce that they’ve adopted a baby girl. 

- at the time mon mothma does not think much of this BUT later as leia gets older she begins to resemble padme more and more in both looks & personality and mon mothma is like. hmmm.

- so she draws the natural conclusion.

- padme was having an affair with bail organa! and when she died in childbirth bail quietly ‘adopted’ the baby to avoid the scandal.

- mon mothma elects not to say anything about this because it’s not really her business and also the past is the past and padme has been. dead for several years at this point and she doesn’t feel like opening that wound back up.

- instead she just, takes leia under her wing.

- anyway! later when a kid w the last name Skywalker who says his dad was a jedi shows up to join the rebellion she’s like. hm.

- she didn’t know anakin well but at the very least she knew OF him and they like, probably met

- so she figures anakin must have fathered a child while he was travelling the galaxy during the clone wars. she never really liked anakin so she’s just like ‘hm guess he was a deadbeat dad. can’t say I’m surprised.’

- she is not aware however that Anakin became Darth Vader so she doesn’t really feel the need to say anything to luke about this. as far as she’s aware luke already knows the truth about his parentage. at most she might be like ‘hey I knew your dad a bit, he was a good jedi & a war hero’.

- so as far as mon mothma is concerned, anakin skywalker’s son and padme amidala’s daughter are both fighting for the rebellion. the fact that they’re the same age is just kind of a coincidence. tatooine uses a different calendar from most planets so she never notices that they literally have the same birthday.

- anyway later Leia is like ‘so guess what! luke is my long-lost brother. isn’t that wild?’

- and mon mothma is like

………………….’PADME WAS BANGING ANAKIN SKYWALKER????’

(leia: not what I expected you to take from that but. yeah I guess she was.)

my favorite part in attack of the clones is when obi-wan just fucks off to play space nancy drew on Clone Rain Planet with the alarming giraffe-necked aliens and swans in like “HELLO IT’S ME, the jedi who definitely… … was here before and probably, uh, spoke to you, and stuff” and theyre like “ah you are here for the order” and hes like “beg pardon” and theyre like “the order of millions of identical human men?” and hes like “RIGHT YES. ABSOLUTELY I AM HERE FOR THE ORDER OF MILLIONS OF IDENTICAL HUMAN MEN”

and then later when he SNEAKS INTO A CORNER TO FUCKING… facetime yoda… like “ok so we have these millions of identical human men who were apparently suspiciously ordered for us by someone???” and yodas fucking response is just “when countless sapient lemons life gives you…….. send those lemons into intergalactic battle you must”

 and obi-wan’s like “shit man you’re so right"

Anakin Skywalker was weak. So I destroyed him.

I feel like if Maul got a tooka it would have fixed him. Like not all the way but 50%. Lonely man needed a pet so badly.

Ohhhh he finds it on his trash planet. Mangy ginger tooka that steals things from him. He hates it. It keeps getting away from him. He is pre-spider legs and his grasp of the Force is mostly just keeping himself alive.

He starts calling it Kenobi. One day it shows up missing one of its back legs and Maul nurses it back to health. It starts bringing him rodents to eat after that. Both of them are sort of roommates. Then Savage shows up and Maul refuses to leave without Kenobi.

Savage: ... The Jedi isn't here brother...

Maul: KENOBIIII!!!

Kenobi: mrrr?
