Jedi Philosophy - Tumblr Posts

i think people are sleeping on the potential for starwarsatheist!Padme and jedi!Anakin. Like, Anakin is part of a major religious order that has full belief in the power of a mystic cosmic force that powers their telekinetic abilities and lets them see the future.

Do you know how many people would call bullshit on this?

like, give me padme and anakin arguing about whether the force actually exists, or whether there is a 'god-given' prophecy of bringing balance(i personally subscribe to the discovery of midichlorians being a scientific explanation that most scientists in the universe credit for jedi powers. any self-respecting scientist in the GFFA can and would fist fight a jedi philosopher)

padme just being all, 'this is my beautiful husband. he's a bit of a religious nut, but i love him so so much.'

and anakin would be all, 'this is the love of my life, the angel of the galaxy, and if she thinks that the force isn't real, she's valid and i'll fight all your fuckers that disagree.'

i know that i've stayed out of star wars for a while, but like, can i say something?

you guys do know that the whole aww obi-wan totally knew or the council obviously knew thing is fake, right? like they didn't. they really didn't. the prequels fall like a house of cards set of fire and spraying acid if they knew. the whole point of a ✨ forbidden marriage✨ is that NO ONE knows.

the amount of people who have either commented on my posts or i've seen commenting on other people's posts saying that the council or obi-wan would've been fine with it because they totally knew you guys when their evidence really is a subtle joke in a piece of media they are happy to declare subcanon the second it doesn't line up with their carefully constructed fanon is waaaay too many.
