I maintain that the Jedi absolutely would have made an exception like they did so many other things and Anakin was just being a dramatic bitch about it all.

Well now I kinda wanna see that Bloodborne meme.
Here ya go. They were right next to each other in my “memes for Lemmy” folder, so I accidentally posted this one in two places before I caught it.
Well that really kinda screws the whole skywalker saga doesn’t it? Man that’s some lazy and bad writing.
Not really. Emotional attachment is forbidden, not marriage.
Marriage didn’t used to be about feelings, but about political convenience basically.
Anakin’s problem wasn’t that he loved Padme, it was that he thought he knew better than the Jedi council. He saw their flaws, and, because of an outside influence, condemned the entire system, and helped to give power to a populist autocrat. I think it’s actually a pretty believable story…
It’s not that believable. Far too many people stood against it to be realistic it seems.
Are you suggesting that people unsatisfied with a system that works mainly in the interest of a small group of elites will give power to some narcissistic, sadistic creep just to feel some vicarious sense of that power? It’s not like that could happen in real life, certainly not more than once in modern history. I mean, come on!
For all its flaws the prequels overarching story is pretty great
Honestly, they’re fairly good movies. If Jar-Jar wasn’t part of them, I’d probably say they’re better than the originals. They at least have more to say than the originals.
The originals have a lot to say when you know the Rebels are the Vietnamese fighting America and it’s actually a pretty solid trope reversal on the Westerns, samurai films, and WW2 movies that influenced it but in a way that will let Lucas make a bajillion dollars.
It doesn’t really say much though. It’s inspired by the Vietnam War, but it’s surface level. The prequels have a lot more substance, although it’s still not that much.
For me it’s Hayden’s god awful acting in the second movie that kills it
The part that goes past suspension of disbelief is the child murder scene.
How? It’s what his religion demanded. That’s classic humanity
A religion he had for what like 2 years, directly opposed to the one he had since childhood, his career, and his own status as a father to be.
Weren’t some of the ISIS Jihadi converts? Not that unbelievable that a recent convert influenced by an evil religious leader would commit atrocities in the name of religion.
People that convert are actually usually more devout than lifelong believers
The guy who brought a rifle to shoot Trump on the golf course voted for him in 2016 according to his social media posts. It would be reasonable to believe he was a conservative his whole life up until a couple years before he believed shooting killing him was the answer.
Sounds like every Born Again Christian I’ve ever met
Every born again christrian you’ve ever met murders 8 grade schoolers?
Yes? If not directly, they support other born agains that do…
Honestly a lot of them do tend to be obsessed with the idea.
Means to an end.
Depends on where you put the period. We sure are trying hard aren’t we?
