Re: ‘Star Wars’ as the complete saga

Or, what the term means (and does not mean) to me 

As is no doubt obvious by now, I do not accept Disney’s post-RotJ version of events as a legitimate continuation of Lucas’ saga. While I’ve already gone over my reasons in great depth in previous posts here, here, and here, I thought I would offer my current views on the subject, including my definition and understanding of ‘Star Wars’ as a complete ‘created myth’.

Almost every "padme deserved better" fan just dunks on padme herself and it's so weird like how are you claiming to love padme but you don't even understand who padme is at her core or why she loved anakin like bro did we even watch the same movies?

STAR WARS HYPERSPACE TRAVEL TIMES: As a disclaimer, a lot of this is going to come from Legends info, but I feel reasonably confident in using them because LFL does still operate on things like this very often.  You can’t count it as hard canon, not until it appears in some story or guidebook or is confirmed through word of god, but until then I’d give it a solid 80-85% chance of being accurate. As a secondary disclaimer, you also can’t count on this to always hold true in-universe for stories because often times things happen “at the speed of plot”, meaning there’s no way Sidious should have been able to get to Mustafar to, uh, rescue Anakin as fast as he did, unless we’re assuming Anakin hung around on Mustafar for like eight days after killing the Separatists and then another eight days before Sidious found him.  (Well, I guess if anyone could survive on hate that long, it’d be Anakin.  We know Maul survived on hate when he should have died, too.  But, realistically, I think we’re just not supposed to think about it.) RESOURCES: - The excellent Astrogation Computer, which will calculate the travel time for you!  It doesn’t have every system, but if you know a nearby one (check the galaxy map to find a nearby planet) you should be able to get an accurate travel time.  Some examples above:  Coruscant to Naboo with a premium hyperdrive engine is 6.65 days.  Coruscant to Mustafar is 8.16 days.  Coruscant to Naboo is 7.96 days.  Etc. - Star Wars Galaxy Map, which should have all the major planets if you need to find where something is to use in the above calculator.  You can do a search if you want to find something specific, too!  You can also check the hyperspace lanes that are nearest any given planet. - Black Cat’s Hyperspace travel times is another good place to start to get the chart above for basic travel times and an overview of some of the things that can affect travel time. THINGS THAT CAN AFFECT TRAVEL TIMES: - The quality of your hyperdrive engine.  The better quality your engine is, the faster you’ll get there.  The above travel times are calculated based on a 1x multiplier, but if you have a crappier hyperdrive, your time is going take significantly longer. - Whether or not there is a hyperspace lane that has been cleared for a continuous journey and all objects cleared out of the way.  These are incredibly valuable to own the rights to/have access to. - How much stuff (planets. stars, asteroids, nebulae, etc.) is in your way, since you can’t travel in a straight line, you can’t go through stuff without getting exploded.  This is why hyperspace routes are so incredibly valued, because you can travel much more quickly and safely on pre-established routes.  (It’d be a really bad idea to try to plot your own course because celestial drift or unknown/unmarked celestial objects would be all over the place.) TRADE ROUTES/HYPERSPACE LANES THAT ARE AVAILABLE: These are the major ones, though, there are plenty of smaller ones that you could also use, but wouldn’t be as extensive or possibly as safe as these: - Nexus Route (Canon + Legends) [x] - Unknown placement, but it was a major route that connected Republic and Separatist spaces, this is the one that Even Piell died to get the coordinates for after he told his half to Ahsoka. - Rimma Trade Route (Canon + Legends) [x] - Notable for connecting to Sullust and Eriadu. - Perlemian Trade Route (Canon + Legends) [x] - Notable for connecting to Felucia and Taanab. - Hydian Way (Canon + Legends) [x] - Notable for connecting to Malastare and Yavin. - Corellian Run (Canon + Legends) [x] - Notable for connecting to Coruscant, Ryloth, Corellia, and Christophsis - Corellian Trade Spine (Canon + Legends) [x] - Notable for connecting to Corellia, Duro, and Hosnian Prime.  It intersected with the Rimma Trade Route in the Inner Rim and with the Hydian way in the Outer Rim territories. CONCLUSIONS: The above travel times should factor in hyperspace lanes in the calculations, as well as which ones may be close together but require going slower or making more stops because it’s more densely packed in the Deep Core, where there are a lot of stars.  Whereas, out in the Outer Rim, there’s less you have to navigate around so you can just zip through more quickly. BONUS: - Have a Legends map of Republic Space vs Separatist Space vs Hutt Space, to give you an idea of where it would be safe to travel and where it wouldn’t be. - Bigger version of the (Legends) Hyperspace lane map via Wookieepedia.

It's so annoying when some of us, who dislike the TCW's take on Anidala, criticize Anakin's characterization in the series for turning him in this toxic, overly jealous and possessive guy towards his wife in a unnecessary attempt of Darth Vader forshadowing / making him more 'masculine' and complain about how all of this contradicted the way their relationship was previously developed in the Prequels, are called out by other fans for "not being true at all" because, according to them, the series episodes (like the ones from the Clovis Arc), were created just to affirm what was already shown of Anakin's behavior in the movies and they always use the Mustafar scene in Revenge of the Sith to prove their point.

And I hate seeing other comparing those scenes because it doesn't make any sense! The Anakin we saw in Mustafar is not the real Anakin. That was Anakin at his worst. That was a corrupted, manipulated, sleep-deprived and paranoid Anakin who was very high on the dark side and totally out of his mind. That was an Anakin who attacked his own wife, the only person who he still trusted, in a moment of blind rage because he believed she and his best friend were creating a plot behind his back to kill him (which not only wasn't true as his reaction was TOTALLY 100% UNJUSTIFIABLE and I want to make this point very clear). That Anakin was the result from years of fighting constantly in a war as a general at such young age, grooming, trauma and emotional and psychological abuse.

I'm not excusing Anakin's atrocities, nor trying to convince he wasn't capable of commiting unspeakable acts of violence. But I feel some people need to understand the circunstances of such extreme behavior. Yes, before becoming Darth Vader, Anakin already could easily lose the control of his emotions and turn into a killing machine as a consequence, but this used to happen only when he was put in situations of great stress and pressure and after being pushed to the limit (just take the Tusken massacre after being haunted by visions of his mother suffering and screaming in pain and later her death caused by a whole month of torture in the hands of her captors as an example).

Also, can this Anakin assaulted Padme in Mustafar because he thought she was cheating on him with Obi-Wan bullshit just be set on fire and die in a hole, for the Force's sake, PLEASE?! 🙄 (Yeah I know it was part of the original script at first, but it wasn't included in the final cut so I don't give a damn...).

Anidala Week Day Two: Favorite Canon Work

I truly, deeply, love you. And before we die, I want you to know.

I have frequently called Episode II the prettiest movie ever. The colors, the costumes, the settings, the music, the effects, the framing, the emotion... it's a stunningly beautiful film.

The Phantom Menace is my favorite for Padmé, and Revenge of the Sith is my favorite for Anakin. For Anidala, it's Attack of the Clones.

{If you know the artist behind this art, please let me know.}

I always found it was quite daring and bold of George Lucas to have defined a love story as the backbone of the tragedy of Darth Vader.

Yes, it may not be perfectly written, but it hit me. I will aways think of them with great fondness, and would love to see more about them in a future TV shows (maybe in flashbacks? I really liked what was done in the last series of comics dedicated to Darth Vader).

It's that tortured, doubtful, fragile, in love Anakin who would later become the iconic ruthless monster.

There's a lot you can criticize about the prequels, but the core of the story is the ultimate proof of GL' genius.

Hayden Christensen's casting was also quite audacious : the fanboys wanted a big, muscular, ruthless guy, instead they got a graceful-looking youngster. I'm convinced that's also one of the reasons why he was so hated in 2002.

And, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but as early as in 1999, while humanizing the machine he onced created, he said, indirectly, fuck to toxic masculinity, while young boys had a different take on what it was like to be badass, and in a time when it wasn't so mainstream.

"Well you mentioned callbacks to the originals, I want to ask about one in particular... The Padmé of it all."

#Look i love Hayden obviously #And the way he tries so hard to do this the hard way #With such a crappy material #And i love that his mind went there #But my god how crappy was this show to never ever have Padmé s name mentionnés #When you have two scenes portraying vader and Obi-Wan meeting not once but twice? #With Obi-Wan struggling to acceptation vader ? #Same Obi-Wan who heard Padmé say with her dying breath that there was good in vader still? #Does not compute #Crappy writing #Padmé should have been mentionnés and not just as Leia's mom wtf this aint the old trilogy #Star wars #Crappy TV shows #So called star wars #hayden christensen #padmé amidala #anidala

Gripe on a minor point of (maybe?) popular fanon

Why in Vaderdala/Padmé lives AUs is Vader insisting she not call him "Anakin" such a commonly used plot point? This isn't even a genre I read a ton of, but it's come up in basically every one I ever have, and it seems wildly OOC for him to do this.

Anakin's hardcore compartmentalization of his actions at the end of ROTS suggest that he would actually not want his wife to call him by his Sith name in a scenario where she survives and is still in his orbit. He wants Padmé to still love him and treat him the same way she always has and for her to know as little about his murder sprees as possible.

I think he'd be bothered by her calling him Vader, honestly. To me, Vader with Padmé alive is a guy desperate to preserve status quo, as far as that relationship goes, anyway.

Also both Palpatine and Dooku are perfectly comfortable using both their real names and Sith titles simultaneously, so it's not like there's not precedent in-universe for not shedding all vestiges of your past identity when you become a Sith.

The disassociation from "Anakin" for Vader always seemed to come from her and the child's death as much as it came from his injuries/the suit, and even OT Vader has a weird compartmentalized view of his past self re: Luke ("Anakin Skywalker means nothing to me but also Anakin Skywalker's son is my son" like okay chief.)
