gffa: ‘ALL FILMS ARE PERSONAL’: AN ORAL HISTORY OF STAR WARS: EPISODE I THE PHANTOM MENACE | George Lucas That’s the summary of Anakin Skywalker right there–he started out as a nice kid, he was kind and sweet and lovely, but then he was trained as a Jedi and Jedi can’t be selfish. They can …

Hey so I spent longer than I’d like to admit scrolling through your posts looking for one I was sure I’d seen ages ago, so I thought I’d ask you – do you have a post exploring why Vader continued to serve Palpatine even after he’d lost everything that could be held over him? Thanks so much! I love all you analyses so so much
gffa: Hi! Thank you for the sweet words and I’m glad you’re enjoying the meta! I know I’ve talked about this a few times (here and here were the ones I could find, but I’m pretty sure there’s an older one that I’m missing), but this is a really fascinating topic because I think it’s …
gffa: The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader | by Ryder Windham ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS and just how well it highlights something really interesting about this scene and how Palpatine is operating here. There’s a whole speech about how good is just a point of view, how the Jedi and the Sith are …

trickytricky1: oodlife: A beautiful painting created for the ceiling of the Jedi Temple library in Star Wars the Clone Wars. However due to the scale of the set, the painting was never seen in any completed episode! I love this gorgeous little detail SO MUCH. It’s one of my very favorite bits of the Jedi …
gffa: Master and Apprentice | by Claudia Gray I THOUGHT THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY DONE IN THIS BOOK. Here’s the thing that Rael–who is absolutely painted as a not fully reliable narrator in this book–is missing, when he talks about how his judgment became impaired: He almost fucked over millions of people on Pijal’s moon because he was …
evaceratops: star wars aesthetics: the jedi generals “In the blink of an eye, it seemed, the galaxy was embroiled in a full-scale galactic war. The Republic mobilized its newly activated clone forces and hurriedly brevetted the Knights of the Jedi Order into military commanders. After a massive engagement on the distant world of Geonosis, war was …
