  1. He held the rank of Jedi, but the Jedi Council were jealous and didn't give Anakin what he deserved.

  2. He saw visions of his wife dying and was willing to do anything to save her, yes, including killing kids. This isn't evil; this is true love.

  3. After he became Vader, he found out his wife died.

Justifiable crash-out, to be honest

For shits and giggles I watched Phantom Menace today. Because I figured I'll never have as good (?) a reason to watch that ... wonderful ... movie again. And I had time. As with all things I know I don't like, the rewatch was more enjoyable because I could brace for the trade dispute Jar Jar pod racing medichloriean bullshit and not get pissed off. But that's really besides the point. Anakin is six in that movie and too old to be trained as a Jedi. And Padme is closer to 18. I think in terms of the actors' real ages it's more than a decade's difference. And I totally forgot Ani is a Jesus baby too because Shmi doesn't remember the conception. JFC, what a family, the Skywalkers.

And mesa totally fine with Padme and Ani eventually becoming a couple. Mesa no okay with the children slaying for love though. Big doo-doo dat one.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
