Still sad about Patrick Stewart, but thousands of tweets telling Wesley to shut up helps

How far they have fallen.

The Anakin edits are cool but they scream “I’m just like a character whose anger at injustice clouds his judgment, allowing a Machiavellian pseudo-father figure to manipulate him into abandoning his humanity and crippling himself in service of the psychopath’s political schemes”

I am incredibly disturbed by how many people apparently misunderstood Star Wars.

“Anakin Skywalker was BASED.”

Let’s review the résumé of the Chosen One.

Destroys trade Federation control ship by accident (this is one of his few accomplishment)

Gets admitted to the Jedi order because his sponsor dies and everyone feels bad.

Assigned as a security detail for Senator Amidala, literally cannot keep it in his pants.

Fails at literally doing nothing. Both Padme and himself get captured.

Loses his first major lightsaber duel against Count Dooku causing him and his master to lose.

Get promoted to Jedi Knight during the war simply because they need more Knights and is handed a Padawan despite never completing the traditional trials.

Is actually very competent and high-performing during the clone wars (it was rigged in his favor)

Fails at keeping his Padawan in the Jedi Order.

Finally wins a lightsaber duel against someone who was at least 40+ years older than him.

Gets appointed to the Jedi Council because his sugar daddy wanted it so. But throws a tantrum because he isn’t made a Master. Which is literally just a title.

Discovers the Supreme Chancellor is the Sith Lord responsible for the entire war. Decides to help him anyways, so he can save his wife.

Finally wins multiple duels against multiple opponents (they are all children)

Personally chokes his pregnant wife.

Loses a duel to his former master, note: this is during his peak “chosen one” rage and skill

BUT NOW HE’S DARTH VADER. SURELY THINGS IMPROVE.

Spends two decades hunting Jedi and has his own fortress infiltrated by his former master and his long lost daughter in a trench-coat.

Gets defeated by Obi-Wan AGAIN, ten years later.

Fails to recover the stolen Death Star plans

Is able to finally tie with Obi-Wan, only because Obi-Wan is now a senior citizen and gave up.

Fails to stop the destruction of the death star.

Fails to prevent the Rebel evacuation of Hoth. Despite having the entire planet surrounded.

Fails to capture his own son with a trap specifically set for him. Duel itself is at best a tie.

Failed at protecting the imperial base on Endor (he let the rebel strike team through)

Fails to turn Luke to the dark side.

Fails to counter Luke “ Louisville slugger” fighting style, losses duel.

Fails at simply doing nothing, instead decides to throws his own boss down a reactor shaft

Fails at dying with dignity, apologizes for everything he’s ever done

The “Chosen One” was truly based, he was able to climb the Galactic ladder decades ahead of everybody else with his sole résumé qualification being “I actually have more bacteria in my blood than you do”

The Anakin discourse is hitting most of the major psyops:

1. Anakin was a victim/System stole his childhood

2. Women are the cause of families breaking up

3. Boomers are the cause of every problem

4. Pro-Dictator/King/Space Franco

5. WAGTFKY- Technically a confession not a psyop

I didn't see many race references, but I'm sure they will come later.

Radicalized young men and the manosphere even want to pervert Anakin Skywalker’s image to justify their own sick behaviors. It’s really getting bad out there.

*Chooses to leave mom and join the Jedi.

*Knows Jedi rules against romance/marriage, does it anyway instead of just quitting.

*Betrays Council leader and causes his death.

*Leads pogrom against the Jedi just on the off chance that Sith Lord can save his wife.

This post blowing up and being quoted by ran through whores saying it's not that bad has only made me more disgusted by casual sex and those who have it.

Viewpoint | Killing children is generally considered to be evil, but the willingness to kill children who are being trained to grow up to become evil can rightfully be considered a good -- and anyone steadfast enough to kill those children is a true hero.

By Sheev Palpatine

I'm young enough to have watched the horrific "Book of Boba Fett" where they try to rebrand the Sandpeople as misunderstood noble nomads with a rich culture.

*Of course* this creep was in both the failed pilot and WW 1984.

Every gay man's dream.

Australian lawyer Rachel Weller thinks it’s funny that Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and murdered in front of his own kids.

@JrHopeless Agreed.

I mean George seemingly brought back Pernilla August to record her shouting Anakin's name and screaming for the revised nightmare scene on Naboo but not Liam Neeson for pivotal scenes that connect not just the films but entire trilogies together???

I also wish they'd gotten Liam to record his dialogue for the "communing with Yoda" scene in ROTS, to more strongly tie everything together.

@JrHopeless People thinking that Palpatine loved Anakin is weird. Palpatine didn't love anyone.

The White male experience is letting your anxiety eat you alive, causing you to destroy everything you love, untill you're nothing but a walking corpse.

Dear Michiganders,

Haley Stevens is sounding the alarm, and you should be listening.

Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed is Muslim, while Michigan and America is predominantly Christian. What are you doing? Acknowledging that difference does not make you a bigot. You have different values, beliefs, and customs.

This is bigger than a Democratic primary. It is about the future of your state, your children, and your country.

Pay attention to what Haley Stevens is actually saying. Examine El-Sayed’s record and beliefs.

Put your country above your party. Think about your children’s future. Do what is right, and have the courage to take a stand before it is too late.

Please protect us. Please protect America. 🇺🇸

The people saying the Empire in Star Wars were the good guys are one bad day away from saying Sauron was right.

RedLetterMedia's biggest flaws as critics is their obsession with character arcs, they have a very narrow inaccurate view of how characters work in film. This is why Mike think it's some mistake that Qui-Gon is shown as a renegade Jedi doing morally questionable things in TPM.
