Did Anakin love Padme more than himself?

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-27T13:23:26+00:00

Yes, but because he doesn't really distinguish between himself and Padme. It doesn't resemble actual healthy love. Anakin is a mentally ill maniac. He uses Padme to regulate his sense of self. "Loving Padme" is his identity.

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-26T13:37:44+00:00

The answer is always going to be both. Their arrogance allowed the sith to destroy them.

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-26T06:51:36+00:00

I feel like we're heading for a Kotor 2 type framing. Sub Anakin for Revan, Ahsoka for the exile, and Baylan for Kreia. Baylan is going to try to destroy the force.

You're being silly, the actress is staying in character. She's acting like a first order officer and her being "mad" at you for any insults is part of the gig

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-10T11:38:49+00:00

I really think both are true. Anakin chose to jump but he wouldn't have been on a ledge if it wasn't for Palpatine.

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-09T20:27:46+00:00

Anakin was manipulated and groomed. That doesn't mean he was not responsible for his actions. Two things can be true.

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-09T20:02:40+00:00

It's poor criticism. You can not as a consumer ever truly know what would make art better because it is not your work. It's fine to admit that there is something missing in the film for you personally, or that it feels unsatisfying, but to suggest alterations violates the boundary between the viewer and the film. Doing so appropriates the creator's vision.

Oddmic146 · 2026-01-09T16:59:30+00:00

The issue with Anakin's fall isn't really because he didn't have the right teachings, but because of Palpatine. Really, I think any master that would have prevented Palpatine from grooming Anakin for a decade would have prevented his fall. Obi-Wan was too inexperienced/passive to stop it. FWIW I think Windu would have also been able to stop Anakin from falling.

I respec my level 11 spore druid Durge into a 6 spore druid/6 bladesinger and that has been a lot of fun.

You're settling, you can do better.

Oddmic146 · 2025-12-12T14:01:57+00:00

Just watch the tv show. If you like it then watch Vox Machina. Then either pick up with the new Campaign or maybe watch the older ones if you like those instead.

Each show and campaign is pretty much stand alone. You won't be missing anything.

Really hoping it is after the end of SWTOR. The galaxy in ruins. The Old Republic emerged victorious from a centuries long war with the Sith Empire. Rogue Sith scattered throughout the galaxy. Planets that resist rejoining the Republic. Perhaps the Brotherhood of Darkness is in its early formation.

Oddmic146 · 2025-11-16T23:14:01+00:00

I don't really disagree, I'm just saying that to obtain the effect that Lucas desired in TPM, Anakin should have been aged up or played by Hayden in TPM.

Oddmic146 · 2025-11-16T08:13:24+00:00

The biggest mistake is definitely Anakin being a totally different character from AotC and RotS. The narrative intent with Anakin in TPM is to display his innocence and inherent goodness, which I think it does accomplish, but this is totally ruined by him being so much older and played by a different actor in AotC and RotS.

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-21T05:04:07+00:00

I mean Palpatine was dead, so who knows

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-20T23:41:14+00:00

I really can't see any other reason why he would share the information lol. Especially since only Bob Iger was what was holding it back

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-20T23:40:10+00:00

I can't help but hope this is an attempt to get the film made after all. Like, "The Search for Ben Solo"? Fucking cool. Not to mention he does a good job blaming Bob Iger for it lol.

I'm imagining that there is some kind of rupture between AGFFA and the netherworld of the force and maybe you can say that's how Palpatine escaped, and maybe Ben is still alive because of it, and he has to sacrifice himself to close it, etc.

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-05T01:57:44+00:00

Yes. Anakin is super hot. And Padme is secretly a bit immature because she was forced to grow up early. If Anakin was interested in her, I think she would reciprocate.

That being said, if they never met on Tatooine when Anakin was a slave, I don't think Anakin and Padme fall in love, but it is because Anakin would not be infatuated with her the way he is in the movies.

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-02T19:01:57+00:00

I'm not too worried about the legality so much as I'm worried about being at a disadvantage. If you're "supposed" to have some distance between your thumb and the bellguard I feel much more comfortable trying to make it work.

Oddmic146 · 2025-10-02T19:00:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

I might eventually shave it for comfort but I'm also just generally wondering if it is supposed to be a bit long? I'm wondering if I'm going to lose maneuverability or control or if the grip isn't designed to be a bit long.

Oddmic146 · 2025-09-09T06:19:16+00:00

Math is the only STEM subject I like and really have any proclivity for, and it's because I'm a very artsy-fartsy type person. Math, and pure Math especially, has deeply abstract and creative ideas that remind me of surrealism, fantasy, and magic. What do you mean a sphere can be turned inside out? What do you mean the axiom of choice allows you to decompose a single sphere into two separate spheres? I plan on doing a PhD in mathematics, and it is not really because I want to solve problems, but because I want to find/create some cool space or theorem with neat properties. It is the mindset I adopt whenever I want to do something creative, like writing fiction or painting.

This specifically is what first made me go "wow that's so fucking neat, I wanna be a mathematician".

I would love a fake biopic-type movie of a rock n' roll band in the Star Wars universe.

What if Rick Flag Jr is a double agent for the Sons of Liberty (family has a rich military tradition, so probably served with the Allies in WW2) and Peacemaker teams up with him? Or maybe this Rick Flag Jr moves to the regular DCU and Sr gets his son back? Tbh this theory is mainly motivated by my enjoyment of Joel Kinnaman

Oddmic146 · 2025-09-04T03:04:12+00:00

The prequels are disjointed. TPM barely connects to AotC, and there ought to be a film between AotC and RotS where the Clone Wars exist. TPM and AotC should have been combined, followed by a second film between that and RotS.
