It Does Matter

I have headcanon that Anakin told Padme at one point about the angels he met in Iego. And she playfully asks if they are the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy he answers truthfully that the legend was exaggerating and she was far more beautiful compared to them.

Luke Skywalker should easily be one of if not the strongest person in the sequel trilogy even if we discount the EU and George Lucas' word

Ok I know a lot of people already talked about the sequel trilogy and its many glaring issues but I wanted to address something that hasn't really been talked about as much as it should be and that is how strong Luke should be.

First of all, let's address a few basic facts which are: Anakin, Leia, and Luke are all confirmed to have the greatest potential by George Lucas himself and the movies which are implied multiple times like when Anakin in TPM is shown to have higher potential than Yoda and Palpatine also realizes Anakin could become stronger than him both he and Yoda are shown to be equals, Luke is stated to have the potential to overthrow Palpatine who is stated to be stronger than when he was in ROTS and Leia is stated by Yoda in ESB that she would be their best bet if Luke dies or falls to the dark side implying both are equals. So all 3 at max potential are capable of killing Palpatine the strongest villain in SW at that point mind you all 3 were implied to be capable of doing that in a rather short amount of time too.

Another basic fact as well Dooku got stronger and became a better duelist despite being in his 80s. Why is this relevant? Well, I have been noticing a lot of people saying Luke was too old and was not in his prime but what they don't know or realized is that Jedi and Sith don't get weaker with age if anything they get stronger. Hell, there is even a sourcebook from TCW stating Dooku was getting stronger throughout the war causing Palpatine to become rather uncomfortable with what was going on with his apprentice. Now Luke was not some old man very much past his prime when he died he was 8 years older than his father who was 45 and the same age as Mace Windu who was 53. So Luke if anything should be either *reaching* his prime or already be in it.

Let's also keep in mind one thing Luke was confirmed to be inactive and didn't train for 6 years. This is confirmed by the ROS visual dictionary stating Luke's temple was destroyed 6 years ago before The Force Awakens happens(Which leaves the question how the jedi were a myth? But that is a question for another time). So Luke wouldn't have gotten much weaker than what he once was.

And the final fact was that Anakin would be on the same level as the ones of mortis and so would Luke and Leia. This is confirmed multiple times.

Despite all these facts that are well known throughout SW TLJ Luke is somehow suggested to be inferior to Kylo,Rey and Palpatine. Hell he was stated to be afraid of Kylo and Rey's dark side power. Yet Luke should easily be someone who does not feel threatened by it because he is still far stronger. Let's keep in mind Palpatine is heavily suggested to be at his weakest in ROS until he absorbs the dyad and still stomps all over Rey and Kylo easily. So if a weakened Palpatine could do that why is Luke the guy who should have been above Palpatine *ages* ago somehow inferior to that version of Palpatine. No matter how you judge it Luke should be capable of basically due what Palpatine could do but even more.

I am just going to throw in what Luke could do or has done in the EU:

Originally Luke mastered all 7 forms of lightsaber combat, easily defeat his dark side nephew by just staring at him(Ps Luke was pushing 60 when he did that), fought a being on the same level as the ones of mortis, shown incredible intelligence and wisdom as the grandmaster, has mastery over the dark side and is strong enough to the point that he is confident in beating beings on the same level as Vader without to much difficulty in the form of his nephew.

To anyone who wants to argue that Luke should not be that strong well you have to argue against the narrative as that's what he was to become when he reached his prime.

What is your opinion on Kanera?

I like them they were a nice couple in Rebels one of my biggest highlights in the show actually

Reblog and put in the tags why you wouldn't survive in a horror movie

I interpret it more as SWTOR trying to make it seem like that not all sith are good but fail do to the so many evil things the sith hell the sith were invented to be a corrupt the point of balance in the force is to get rid of the dark side because it's basically a cancer I won't deny there a few good apples but the grand majority as in 99% are evil. Last I checked the Jedi didn't try to murder billions of people out of spite, caused supernovas killing billions, would give anything for power including killing your loved ones (looking at you Malgus) and hurt people to fuel their own power (looking at you Nihilus). The sith's way of gaining power is killing your loved ones for self hatred, draining the life of people to gain more power, torturing people(for example the oh so good Marr threatened to do while Satele tried to not do and be more gentle), relish in the fact of who they killed, backstab one another the moment they get the chance, are obsessed with killing Jedi constantly, prioritise killing them over almost anything else, many dark side choices are torturing or killing in the game while light side is not killing people most of the time. It's hard to find a good sith who didn't turn to the light side or was using the good to benefit their side. A sith will almost always try to hurt others to get their way while the Jedi will usually show compassion to help others. Sure the Jedi are sometimes questionable but I would prefer a side that wasn't supporting genocide, planetary destruction, mindless violence, gaining power for power's sake and fascism. There is reason why one is an empire and to gain support and become a leader you must be powerful while the other is a democracy where anyone can have a voice. And for last nail in the coffin here is one passage from Sorzus Syn one of the sith and founder of the sith code:

"The sith purebloods require no mantra to remind them how to live. They simply take what they can, kill what they don't need and use everything to it's fullest. They are ruled by the fittest and are a model of what the dark side can achieve"

One more thing: please spare me this “all Sith are evil and self-serving and only care about themselves” nonsense. In the pre-Darth Bane era that’s ridiculous, as much as it is to say all Jedi are good.  This is the Sith code. There’s nothing here about being selfish, racist or not caring about others. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. It’s notable that there seems to be some leave in Sith society for Sith to interpret the Code as they will - there is a scene in the Inquisitor story where Ashara Zavros is frustrated with that lack of a unified philosophy. This isn’t “self serving,” in real-world religions there are often those who question, study and interpret differently.  This is the Jedi code. There’s nothing here about being selfless, being nice or caring for others. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force

From what is said, there’s less leave for Jedi to question and interpret the Code as they will, and more of a unified message. We see this in major world religions too.  Neither one is wrong.  We meet plenty of Sith who are horrible people, but the stories also show us numerous examples of Sith busting their asses to protect the Empire or the galaxy.

- Satele Shan accuses Scourge of helping defeat Vitiate for “selfish reasons.” She never gives any indication what these reasons are, of course. Scourge sacrificed everything to help defeat Vitiate. He had a position of extreme power in the Empire - not even the Dark Council could stop him, and he answered only to Vitiate. He gave that up to help the Jedi that wanted his people dead, made himself a traitor to his own faction, and was risking his own immortality. That doesn’t seem at all selfish to me.   - Darth Marr volunteers his own resources defeat Revan in a Coalition with the Republic to save the galaxy. He later leads another coalition into Wild Space with the same goal. And when the ship goes down he doesn’t save his own ass, he’s running around literally trying to put out the fires himself.     - Lana Beniko risks her neck multiple times to save the Empire and later to save the Alliance, to the point of literally jumping in front of the player to take a blaster shot in the stomach. There are several occasions in KOTFE and KOTET where she offers to sacrifice herself so the PC can get away.  -  The Sith Empire led by Acina puts themselves on the line to support the Alliance against Zakuul, when they could have easily sat back like the Republic. Defying Zakuul could have brought the Eternal Fleet down on their heads, and they did it anyway.   - Khem Val, while technically not a Sith but still ‘dark sided’ literally sacrfices himself to stop Darth Zash from hollowing out the Sith Inquisitor and taking their body. If the Inquisitor died, he would have been free.   - Darth Silthar on Tatooine doesn’t send his men out into the dangerous field, he does it himself, and uses his last breath to utter a warning to the PC.   - When the Sith Empire realizes that releasing the Dread Masters was actually a very, VERY bad idea, they clean up their own mess and devote their own troops to it. The Sith commander on Oricon is on the surface, doing everything he can to shield everyone else, even at his own expense.   So where is this “all Sith are selfish and care only for themselves” thing coming from? Maybe the answer isn’t in the Sith, but with the Jedi and how they operate.   The Jedi serve the Republic for life. In SWTOR you are told that they serve the Republic even if they don’t agree. They are not given a choice. In the newest update there is talk from General Daerunn of tracking down Jedi and making them come back to fight for the Republic even if they don’t want to. The Jedis’ duty is to serve, without question. The Sixth Line even puts this ethos into their modified code: There is no contemplation, but duty. The Jedi hammer this philosophy into their recruits from a young age: they are there to serve unquestionably. The Jedi’s duty is to do the Republic’s bidding. They are expected to forego love, relationships, families or their own personal lives to fulfill this mandate, and it is seen as noble and good.   What about anyone who doesn’t want to do that? What about anyone who wants to have some life of their own? Easy! You make emotions and dissent “the dark side.” You make the dark side evil. You make it a Very Bad Thing for a Force sensitive to have any other goal in life than to unquestioningly serve their government. There’s no other way to preserve the status quo of the Jedi as the Republic’s eternal unpaid servants. If they go off and do what they want, or get to think about it, they might leave!   Hammering this point home, the Jedi consider any other Force creed to be dark-sided, which isn’t unlike some evangelical religions that think that they are the only ones going to Heaven. For example, there are a few exchanges in the Jedi class stories where Satele makes this claim about the Voss. The Voss, who use their Force sensitives to heal others through self-sacrifice in the Shrine of Healing (watch the Sith Warrior story - the Mystic takes her own strength and gives it to a sick person, and it’s painful enough to make her cry), have precognitive visions and interpret them to help their people. There really doesn’t seem much that is evil about that.  Satele Shan says nothing about the Voss’s practice of apartheid against the Gormak, but she’s concerned about their use of the Force. 

Point being, claiming that every action taken by a Sith is for their own benefit is as silly as saying that every action taken by a Jedi is out of the goodness of their own heart or free will. 

Yes we can but it's really small issues nothing that Anakin will become abusive or anything compared to other couples in Star Wars or other franchises

“anakin and padme’s relationship was 100% perfect and healthy right up until he choked her on mustafar” is a hot take that i did not expect to find in fandom and now i’m going to have to take valuable hours out of my day to write a 10,000 word rebuttal just because someone had the audacity to say so on one of my posts
