OK ow. It’s bad that I can actually see it like that.
(But what about happy memories with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka (there has to be at least one that’s happy with them. Right? Right?)? Do they all get touched by anger and sadness when he turns into Vader?)
Anger, sadness, fear, disgust! They riot while Joy hides in the memory hole and goes crazy.
Does that mean Joy bursts out of the cage, running towards the console when he finds out about Luke?
Can someone point me in the direction of the Single Dad AUs starring Qui-Gon and his four sons, because I know they must exist and I need them.
I’m serious. What I need right now is aging hippie Qui-Gon in a plaid flannel shirt, accompanied by his four possibly-adopted sons aged one to seventeen. Feemor the soft-hearted pushover, Xanatos the shitty emo douchebag, Obi-Wan the tightly-wound nerd, and Anakin the obligatory sitcom baby who comically destroys everything in his path.
I just love this quote. It’s so easily overlooked, seen as unimportant, until you see the prequels. Because then you realize how utterly true and heartbreaking that phrase is. “He died about the same time your father did.” Meaning that Obi-Wan, that is, everything that made him who he was, his faith, his joy, his light, was murdered, killed, at the same time that Anakin was lost to the Dark Side. When Anakin became Vader, Obi-Wan became Ben. Anakin and Obi-Wan died together on that planet. Only Vader and Ben left it alive. One full of hate and darkness, the other a broken shell that was merely existing, not even really living. These two men were so deeply entwined, so bonded together in the force, that when one died, so did the other. That is the real definition of true love.
