Zuko and Mai are the avatar version of Anakin and Padmè.

No.

Before we begin, I think it’s important to unpack what this comparison really means and who is actually being compared. No one is saying that Padmé, a woman of high ideals and deep convictions, who believes in the power of ideas, words, and compromise and who holds democracy as sacred, is very much like the taciturn, cynical henchwoman to a despot, whose entire life has been shaped by the power she is all too aware does not have. And no one is comparing emotionally tortured, perpetually uncertain Zuko to Padmé either. Nor is anybody comparing carefully controlled and seemingly unemotional Mai to Anakin Skywalker (though I will get back to this one later). No, the two characters actually being compared are Anakin and Zuko. As for why comparing Anakin to Zuko is painfully inaccurate, buckle up folks, I have visual aids.

I don’t see how people can make this comparison, Padmé and Anakin were torn apart by Anakin’s fall to the dark side and Padmé was unable to stop him. This was no fault of her own, though I do side-eye her covering up his mass murder–not because any of Anakin’s actions at any point were her fault but because it was something she herself did wrong.

Mai and Zuko on the other hand were ultimately brought together happily because they both did what was right and had the courage to break free of Ozai’s and Azula’s abuse, where Anakin was lured deeper and deeper into Palpatine’s manipulation and ended up abusing Padmé as well. 

So I can see them as mirror images/happier reincarnations, but they’re obviously not straight parallels.

I’ve just realized that according to the logic of antis, George Lucas is a pedophile (so far as I know, he’s actually not).

I mean, he aged up Anakin (9) and Padme (14) by ten years for Attack of the Clones so they could be shipped.

Why have I seen no discourse about this? 😛

And for those who think those headlines might just be clickbait, here’s the relevant excerpt from the Escapist Magazine article:

(Below a cut because YIKES!)

…anyway I’m still watching Star Wars, I’m tired of pedophilia callouts especially when the article you sourced doesn’t directly or remotely help you with your argument

Also that source is a fucking FORUM (AKA not reliable at all)

Even if he was a pedophile (yeah I’d be ashamed as hell, but it’s not my business and it’s certainly not anyone else’s)

This also happens to be a really bad time to call yet ANOTHER male actor/director out since like half of the accusations made after this month began are possibly fake

It’s really suspicious that all these accusations are all coming out at one time

There is no argument. Those are FACTS. And that FORUM links to the ARTICLE. There are also MULTIPLE SOURCES. Also, here is the link to the official transcript where the damning conversation occurs: http://maddogmovies.com/almost/scripts/raidersstoryconference1978.pdf

Also, the actual conversation:

@mask-of-prime

It’s really suspicious that all these accusations are all coming out at one time

Mate, buddy. That shit is from freaking 2009! It’s not new. It’s not “just coming out”. It’s been know for years.

And no one says you have to stop watching Star Wars. (Especially as George isn’t even involved anymore) But boy did you get passive-aggressive defensive fast.

Though I really wonder how anyone could have missed that George was and is a major creep.

antis: op was that a challenge

Some analytics of the romances in the Star Wars trilogies

So I couldn’t help myself from digging deeper into the romances in these trilogies, so I watched the movies and made some analytics of them that you can find below.

Honestly, doing these were such an eye-opener for me….that I really should be doing other more important stuff but…..Reylo. Can’t deny my ship or the discussions of them going on here so…..here you go!

And to compare them……

And I also made my own prediction…xD

image

So your own data shows “nothing similar at all to how the romantic subplots of this franchise have worked” and you’re “predicting” romance anyway, and claiming it’s based on data…?

image

this is the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life

I shit you not, I was sure this post was going to be about either Finnrey or Finnpoe and now I see thissss

I’m so confused. Your two sets of data from Han/Leia and from Anakin/Padme show the exact opposite of the Rey/Kylo data you presented. If anything, all you’ve done is create an argument for why Reylo isn’t happening

I am so confused too. But honestly, I don’t know if this guy is trolling or being delusional. 😂

When can you ever tell if they’re joking or not? Like the serious metas are mostly as illogical as the parody ones 😂😂

Also there should be an even deeper category than enemies … bc that doesn’t quite cover it… let’s call it “ultimate nemesis/mortal enemy” 😂😂

Hey guys I made one for Finn and Rey.

This deserves its new extra post tbh

SO THIS WAS THE INFAMOUS POST

Its crazy how rey/los can tout the novels as being evidence for rey/lo but completely refuse to acknowledge the fact that rey is explicitly falling in love with finn the entire time even KYLO sees it and knows those feelings are no joke. when hes invading her mind hes like damn shes got it bad for this traitor guy.

“You find him more than tolerable” he drew back slightly bemused “youve even begun to care for him. A weakness, such distractions”

I like how he points out “more than tolerable” but then says “you’ve even begun to care for him” meaning hes refering to two different things here. Her finding him ‘more than tolerable’ is different from “caring for him”.

Hes telling us two things. Rey finds finn attractive but also actually cares about him. Rey wants the D confirmed by kylo himself.

There it is

The passage they don’t want you to see.

literally kylo ren:

Are you telling me that even Kylo… SHIPS IT?!

@darthlenaplant im just imagining kylo in his room just confused but intrigued he cant get his mind off of it after fighting them both he becomes more and more invested. “He loves her… He must. Right? He cradled her in his arms. And She loves him… but does he know that? Oh god i put him in a coma! He’ll never know she loves him! What have i done?!” And thats how kylo gets redeemed.

It actually makes a mad sort of sense. I mean, Kylo wants to turn her to the Dark Side, right? He probably knows the story of how Anakin fell, fanboy that he is. If Rey’s crush develops into lurve, and if something should “happen” to Finn again, she’ll turn Dark and become Kylo’s apprentice for sure!

Kylo becomes consumed with this idea and enlists the First Order’s resources to get Finn and Rey together. Finn and Rey are increasingly alarmed when Stormtroopers do mass games to form the letters “Finn ❤️ Rey” and broadcast radio drama-like details of what each did as the other was unconscious. “Then Finn shouted, ‘Come get it!’ and bravely charged head-on at the strongest Force user in the galaxy, whose dark cloak swirled ominously and fashionably in the snow. If only the stupid scavenger had been awake to see how brave he was for love.”

porgsitter:

But I’d love it if the ST ended with Finn being a Senator and one of the most powerful politicians in the entire galaxy. Trusted and wise. And he is married to Rey Skywalker, a Jedi. And they are an iconic couple that combine their individual strengths to bring peace to the galaxy. It would be the perfect full circle end, Anakin Skywalker’s heir gets to be a Jedi but is openly and happily married to a senator, and the senate and the Jedi have an equal, trusted relationship. And the idea that a former Stormtrooper ends up being this brilliant politician who brings a true democracy foward in the galaxy after everything that happened… And somewhere Anakin’s Force ghost says goodbye and joins Padmé in the Netherworld, because his job is done. 

Thiiiiiis. I’ve always said Finn and Rey parallel Padme and Anakin, and that Finnrey will be Anidala redeemed.

can someone else pls make prequel gifs?? I’m sick of seeing the same person on my dash

What kinds of gifs are you interested in? Might as well make use of the DVDs I bought.

Anakin! And some anidala. Also Jango, Queen Jamillia (I can’t find any quality gifs of her rip), Bail, and I’m dying to see Padmé’s costumes in HD

Edit: if you can gif those tiny moments where Barriss appears I would love you forever thank

Those all sound great! It always seemed to me Anidala gifs were overrepresented in the prequel fanwork, without nearly enough of the other characters–especially CoC. I’ll see what I can do.

Also like forreal i did not even realize Barriss was a prequel trilogy character. I thought she was original to TCW my god.

Oh, and by Anidala gifs being overrepresented I meant a really specific aesthetic–sitting in a flower field, overlooking a lake etc.–instead of their meatier scenes like kissing before Geonosis (let’s just… ignore the bland lines beforehand, the actors did a lot better without Lucas’s meddling), Padme finding out about Anakin’s mass murder and so on. Definitely interested in getting those scenes into edits, too!
