ekjohnston: gffa: OH MY GOD.THIS ENTIRE ISSUE.LEADING ME RIGHT ALONG, I’M SO FOCUSED ON ANAKIN’S PAIN AND WHAT HE DOES AND DOESN’T KNOW, WHAT HE THINKS, THAT I NEVER EVEN SAW WHERE THIS WAS ALL HEADED.THEY MOURN ANAKIN ALONG WITH THEIR LOST QUEEN, SABE SAYS LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM.AND I’M SO DISTRACTED BY HOW THIS IMPACTS ANAKIN, I’M SO DISTRACTED BY HOW SHE CAN’T KNOW THAT HE’S ANAKIN, I NEVER SEE THIS COMING.I’M SO DISTRACTED BY ANAKIN’S FEELINGS THAT I DON’T THINK BEYOND IT. (HOW APPROPRIATE FOR A STAR WARS STORY.)AND THEN THEY THINK HE KILLED ANAKIN SKYWALKER, TOO.AND THEY’RE RIGHT.NOT HOW THEY THINK THEY’RE RIGHT.(AND VADER CAN’T ADMIT THAT ANAKIN SKYWALKER ISN’T DEAD.)BUT HE THINKS, YES, HE DID KILL BOTH OF THEM THERE ON MUSTAFAR.OH MY GOD IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE THAT SABE WOULD BELIEVE THIS AND IT’S PURE STAR WARS STYLE PAIN TO BE SO CLOSE TO TRUE, SO THEMATICALLY ALMOST TRUE, AND YET COMPLETELY NOT TRUE.AND VADER’S PAUSE AND THEN, “OF COURSE I DID.”I’M JUST FUCKING D E A D. my favourite part of this is that Vader is LITERALLY coming from “No, I am your father”, and OWNING Anakin Skywalker outloud for the first time in who knows how long. And Luke threw it in his FACE. And he got so angry he killed Anakin Skywalker AGAIN. -- source link
