Ewan's gonna be at Celebration and his photos are running $300. Absolutely not.

I love that Hayden watched Clone Wars and Rebels. I wanna know his thoughts tbh.

[insecuredesign]

It must have been great for him to have all that extra background info since he barely had any in the prequels.

[sandstorm]

mte. I was indifferent to him in the films, but the show shows that he's a fairly flawed, smart, likeable character.

[insecuredesign]

It must have been an amusing experience to learn more about his character that way lol

Yes a SW post! I want to thank the users who recommended watching The Clone Wars (can't remember who they were!). I'm very slow to watch TV shows so I'm still in the first season, but I'm enjoying it. I already like Anakin 10x better than after watching the movies only

[tillychar]

yay, as a tcw/rebels stan i'm glad you're enjoying it! i really think tcw keeps getting better and better after s1

[sandstorm]

TCW is amazing. I love all the political episodes, negl.

[saintlys]

The political episodes are so good, I can't believe that people hate the prequels because of the politics.

Anakin and Obi-Wan: Get to come back in another show, and all the new merch that entails.

me: Well I'm going to sit and enjoy my Padme books!! But seriously can't wait to see some of that behind the spoiler cut. I like the PT Trio more than the OT.

[tillychar]

you just reminded me that i will have to throw things if padme doesn't come up in this, because unfortunately i would not put it past lucasfilm to not even mention her

[saintlys]

Disney seems to hate Padme and is determined to erase her existence. I was so desperate for Ahsoka to mention how much Luke reminds her of his mother, especially since his scene where he refuses to give up on Vader is such a good parallel to Padme's own undying faith in Anakin but we get nothing

[tillychar]

ugh they really do and i hate that. padme and ahsoka's relationship is one of my faves too ):

i'm trying to convince myself that they can't ignore her considering her son is in the show (and i mean i'd bet money leia will also appear at least, since disney cannot resist an OT cameo). plus obviously she was close with obi-wan. still... it wouldn't be shocking if they did, which sucks.

I am SO excited omg.
