Tomorrow is election day and I'm going to block anybody who tries to make me aware of a third straight day of relitigating Anakin Skywalker. Go do some volunteering or something. Pathetic.

So let me see if I got this right, because of the American midterms, weirdos suddenly have a fascination with Anakin Skywalker because...he's corrupt and turned bad because of "the system" and as such people relate to him because of that. Do I have that right?

Hay mucho revuelo en internet por videos de Lord Anakin.
Muestran a la familia Skywalker yéndose al lado oscuro de la fuerza.
Padmé luce hermosa.
Hay un cómic en donde Luke Skywalker si termina en el lado oscuro, se llama:
"Dark Empire"

The right wingers are using Anakin Skywalker as the lamest, most impotent threat ever. “Start taking me seriously or I’m gonna be like Darth Vader! You’ll be sorry!” The Everyone Is Twelve theory coming into play once again.

As I recall, Stephen King was doing the "OMG, LUKE SKYWALKER!" thing too!

Look, I will always hold a sacred place in my heart for George Lucas. Seeing Star Wars for the first time was a foundational moment for young Grim.
The man was not subtle. The man was not unclear. If you don’t understand the point of Anakin Skywalker, you’re just a dipshit.

I was hyped as fuck for the prequels when they came out, no one on earth was more ready to hand it to Anakin Skywalker than 13-year-old, Republican-entranced Andrea Grimes looking for a downtrodden Jesus figure and even I was like oh no this boy is a fuckin weenie shitbag

i mean, with all the tradition of right-wing dumbasses wrongfully co-opting pop culture characters and stories (such as The Matrix), we really can't say they didn't get Anakin Skywalker now can we.

Anakin Skywalker was a whiny nepo brat who became a regional manager in the evil empire.

Anakin was a whiny little shit, which explains a bunch of whiny little shits simping for him right about now

There’s a certain degree to which they’re so pitiful that we can’t possibly hurt them more than they have hurt themselves.
Like, imagine reaching a point in your life where peak whiny Anakin is a heroic figure to you.

I don't think that identifying with the sci-fi version of the Sandy Hook murderer is a winning political message.

The only real crime any of them suffered was that they thought other people didn't give them things they wanted, even though they hadn't earned them. (Yes, including Vader. Anakin Skywalker was DEMONSTRABLY not ready to be a Jedi Master. His emotions controlled him, not vice versa.)

Scream essentially did the same thing that drove me away from Star Wars, but for infinitely more morally f**ked reasons.
Like Rise of Skywalker was Lucasfilm being cowards to online shitgoblins. Scream 7 derailed its interesting new plot because the lead actors rightfully called out genocide.

Hello, Sidney... Neve Campbell confirms that she'll be returning to SCREAM 8. Time to speculate wildly as to why yet another Ghostface (or Ghostfaces) must go after Sidney Prescott.

the moral of the story is this: just because you're as bitter and selfish as Anakin Skywalker, doesn't mean you're destined to be as powerful as Darth Vader
