I Love Joining Discord Servers And Then Never Saying Anything Ever

The other crazy thing about obidala is how much more oedipal it makes Anakin.

Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan is already insane. The way he makes everything that's wrong Obi-Wan's fault is truly unhinged. I'm thinking of AotC and how Anakin brings Obi-Wan into his rant after he massacres the Tuskens and yells about how Obi-Wan is "jealous" of him. It is so unhinged really and truly. I love it, there's no actual logic to it, but there's an emotional logic. Like yeah, I can actually imagine a guy acting this way.

Anakin has this father figure who seems so perfect and everyone loves him, and Anakin can never measure up, so the father figure becomes an obstacle that has to be overcome. He's already a father-rival.

Padme's relationship with Anakin, meanwhile, already leans maternal. She looked out for him in TPM. There's the way she comforted him in AotC. RotS parallels Padme and Shmi, "I won't lose you the way I lost my mother." They are both these madonna-like figures Anakin is trying desperately to save.

So, Anakin already had issues. Add on top of that the idea that Obi-Wan and Padme had a relationship, or that Anakin at least thinks they did, and it makes this oedipus thing even more explicit. In Anakin's mind Obi-Wan and Padme are together as a mother and father, and he has to kill Obi-Wan to take his place.

I honestly think it's amazing that a blockbuster movie did this. I love Anakin's psychology so much. He's such a mess.

xavier remains my beloved rn tbh his arc is so incredibly funny. guy cheats on his gf. gf is dead. guy helps investigate gfs death. guy gets run over by not dead gf. guy dies for a couple minutes. guy sees ghosts. guy immediately all in upon being told dead gf is actually getting bodysnatched and we gotta save her

i still cant believe they made toph a cop. they shouldve made her like. well the queen of omashu let's be real. but that post has been done. idk make her batman she could be batman. if she's gonna dispense justice it should at least be vigilante justice

Here, have Anakin goofing around with Council members, as a treat.

(This is not a compilation of every friendly/positive interaction between Anakin and the Council, as I can’t take that many captures. This is just specifically Anakin and Council members - Obi-Wan excluded - bantering.)

Plo:

Ki-Adi:

-

Mace:

-

[Anakin’s pouty face, I just can’t.]

-

[I can’t get over Anakin’s face.]

[And by the way:]

-

Adi:

[Here, have a better look at their expressions:]

I’m so cool. Have you noticed how cool I am?

Ah, kids.

-

Even:

[Bonus close up of Anakin’s face when Even brags about being too tough for the Seps’ methods of torture.]

My family is awesome.

-

And finally…

Kit:

[About a ship in pieces:]

[The next one is a follow up to this deleted scene, which is like 500% funnier than this entire post. It’s roasting Anakin hours, and Kit brings his A-game. Anyway, here Anakin is trying to be one with the flow of the water/commune with the eels.]

[Anakin gets zapped.]

-

Yoda and Anakin get an entire post dedicated to their dynamic here.

+ Bonus Luminara (not a Council Member):

They’re having so much fun and I love it.

bad star wars oc idea: a sith who finds out that the jedi think falling to the dark side shows weakness, and gets so pissed off that they insist on returning to the light solely to prove they can

Reblog if there's something wrong with you

you’re laughing. yuri on ice is returning after destiel went canon in spanish on thanksgiving day and you’re laughing.

Mfs really be like 'oh why would Reva want to avenge the Jedi younglings by helping kill other Jedi it makes no sense' as if single minded obsession and rage that causes you to ultimately hurt and destroy what you wanted to protect and hold onto isn't exactly how the Dark Side works.

Ahsoka's graduation day 🌟
