STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH – 2005, Dir. George Lucas

— George Orwell, Shooting an Elephant

Some other willing dupe cozened by his useful—if elderly—apprentice, Darth Tyranus. The one keeping a seat warm for Anakin, who was ripening so nicely. Really coming along.

Andor Make It Stop | 2.10

Natalie Portman as PADME AMIDALA [9/?] Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005)

“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.”

"Everything dies. In time, even stars burn out."

Oh, it’s beautiful

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

It’s Andor day!!
