Revenge of the Jedi (13/17)
I was an hour late getting back home today, and to quote the Republicans, it's all Obama's fault.
No, really. The president flew into the Seattle airport just as our train arrived, and the Secret Service spent an hour going over it to make sure of ... something. I'm not sure how a train leaving the area could be construed as a threat to him, but ( Read more... )

Padmé's death convinced him that, if the Emperor's favourite cousin who was also a powerful Imperial Senator could be killed, no way was the galaxy safe for a two-year-old boy. So it was the last straw, but it wasn't 'for' her in the way it was in canon, or the way it is w/ Leia in ROTJ.
Writing the backstory did rather make me want to write a ROTJ-compliant version -- I really liked writing Anakin and Padmé together. I never thought of Anakin/Padmé/Arissa, honestly, but I rather like the idea. :P Padmé and Arissa hardly interacted in Revenge, but I think it'd actually be interesting to write about the dynamic between them, gen or OT3-y.
And I think you're right that the difference between the similarities in this chapter and all the others is that Luke becomes conscious of their ... interconnectedness here, from Artoo to the hand to -- a lot. Though I don't think he's realized the extent, as w/ his manner to Jir.
I think it shows that Luke has the ability to become like Vader, but also that Vader has the ability to be like Luke
*glee* This is exactly what I did want to get across! The affinity isn't one-way. And Luke really has to weigh the risk of his becoming more like his father against the benefits of his father becoming more like him -- is a dangerous Luke worth a non-murderous Vader?
