Darth Vader: Sith Lord | Randy Martinez & Rick Burchett
#THIS PARALLEL IS FINE EVERYTHING IS FINE I'M FINE
Poor Zeb just perpetually third-wheeling until Sabine joined the crew
“The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.”
I’m a Yoda fan. Not an apologist. I just think his crimes were funny. I think he should hide in bushes around the senate and trip Palpatine as he passes. I feel like he could have fixed the galaxy that way. I think he should eat raw frog on live tv while they try to stop him. He should be allowed to infiltrate dreams in the form of that frog crying out in pain. I liked his crimes I think he should have gone farther with them.
FUN FACT:
So you know how the Wilhelm Scream is in a ton of films as a soundtrack in-joke? It was popularized by Ben Burtt, who was a sound editor on a ton of ton of Lucas films, like all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films.
Well, he cameos in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. That's him there. His only screen time is getting knocked over a rail, and he does an imitation of the Wilhelm scream as he does it.
After andor the vibes in this meeting must have been WRECHED. The ISB collapsed, death star plans leaked, jedda destroyed in an embarrassing debacle, scarif raided all in one week and tarkin calls a staff meeting at 6am on a Tuesday. Does he talk about the security vulnerability the death star has been exposed to? No. He blusters about how everything is fine because his station is so cool and awesome and nothing bad will ever happen to it. Then some guy calls him wrong and an idiot to his face and tells his spooky wizard boss his religion is bullshit, and is instantly choked for it. No one is even shocked or offended by this, hell half of them are into it
sooooo fucked up but padme and shmi are inextricably linked in anakin’s mind as both his family, his attachments and the people he will do anything to keep in his life, the secret-most part of him he gets to have all to himself, ANDDD palpatine is in that secret chamber too. he didn’t grow up with a father so he’s got palpatine and obi-wan to choose from, and obi-wan loves him obviously but can only say it when he thinks anakin is dying, like it or not there is a level of emotional repression in the prime jedi order that anakin simply never gets from palpatine who he kneels before and trusts without question. palpatine and padme the politicians he is told not to trust, shmi the mother he was never meant to see again. mother & father & mother to his children. each an attempt at a family unit he never really got. it’s the evilest dynamic of all time and of course it ends in a bloodbath
