Phone posting so I can't be bothered to link to it, but there was a blog long ago that purported to be the journal of Vader. It redefined certain scenes to humanize Vader/Anakin; the one that sticks with me is Vader examining Luke's new lightsaber in ROTJ as "I always fidget with mechanical stuff when I'm anxious." I guess I've retroactively applied that to Vader's constant adjusting the knobs on his TIE Fighter. He's trying to prevent the Death Star from being destroyed, this enemy fighter just won't stay still for one second, christ, his stress levels are high, and he's constantly changing the dials to make things 1% better.

Not to say you don't realize this, but just for the record you don't have to read fan fiction for that. It's in the movies: Attack of the Clones posted:INT TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, GARAGE – DAY When Anakin can't handle the messiness and unpredictability of the human world, he turns instead to the mechanical world, which is attractive to him because it gives him what he craves most: control. It's a key part of why he chooses to become Darth Vader.

Electromax posted:If a Jedi falls from a high place, can he use the force to not die? I'm holding out hope that Ep. 8 opens with Luke revealing he's been chilling with Mace for 20 years on that island, talking with jedi ghosts and inventing new lightsaber colors. Luke would not chill with Mace Windu.

Cnut the Great posted:Not to say you don't realize this, but just for the record you don't have to read fan fiction for that. It's in the movies: I knew about that scene, but wasn't actively thinking about it. It might be semantics, but I don't think Anakin was really about control specifically. I think it's exactly as it says: he has an ultimate desire to want to fix things when they go wrong. He's not evil to the core like Palpatine, who wants control/power for the sake of control/power. Anakin wants control/power because he's personally attuned to the fact that poo poo is hosed up, people are being hurt because of it, and the galaxy needs to be un-hosed asap. When he's trying to recruit Luke in ESB, it's all about Vader basically admitting that the Empire/Palpatine wasn't the un-fucker he thought he was, and Luke is powerful enough to get poo poo on the right track. Anakin is the Paul Redeker of Star Wars. Behind the cold, dark, emotionless shell of Vader, there's a super-goddamned-sensitive dude underneath who was never taught how to deal with that. It's not until the end of ROTJ that Anakin realizes his responsibility in poo poo being as hosed up as it is. He has to fix it by throwing Palpatine down the hole. Sure, he's going to die because of it, but this is one thing he can fix properly. Bongo Bill posted:Maybe if Mace Windu had, himself, become chill. I'm of the opinion that none of the prequel Jedis would tolerate Luke. Luke grew up as a normal person, who knew how to do poo poo like "love and care about people" and "mourn people when they die", which would make him, in their eyes, a flawed Jedi. That's the crux of it: Luke does the whole Jedi Thing a lot better than the folks who boiled down force-usage into a number. He gets good and pissed (I've always liked how Luke's final battle scheme isn't Noble Jedi against Vader, but Pissed Off Dude With A Lightsaber), but he's a functioning normal person who understands that getting mad about stuff is okay.

Luke is waay too good of a jedi for someone like mace. Mace is the most attached selfish bastard in the whole council. Where as luke can confidently walk onto the death star ready to die and when confronted with hatred can let it go and can even let go of the things he loves .

Galaga Galaxian posted:Since Star Wars is just WW2 Dogfights in space, he's probably just adjusting his gunsight/targeting computer. Which is why he loses compared to Luke, he doesn't use the force and relies on a machine. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Advanced_x1 quote:An update of the TIE Advanced v1 prototype, the TIE Advanced x1 featured a highly sophisticated target tracking system, making them useful against deflector shield generators. His knob was part of a newfangled system that let him do ... things via adjustments.

He had one thing over Luke though: He actually made this Jedi poo poo look cool. I love how during his duel with Palpatine he's just constantly doing this, "Here I am, here I am, come and get me, whoops, missed me.....motherfucker!" poo poo:     I wish I was good at making gifs.

Only tangentially related to the film in question, but what are some movies I should beeline for if I'm realizing I'm totally down for staring at Felicity Jones for a while?

I've been sold on Rogue One since its announcement, and knew Vader was going to be in it, but gently caress me... that clip of Vader coming out of the steam walking towards Krennic (I think?) made me gasp abruptly and choke on air.

This looks a hell of a lot more interesting than the prequels or TFA, and I say this as someone who loved the latter. It dawned on me while watching that this might be the first Star Wars with no lightsabers - something twelve year old me would obsess and lament over for "breaking trend", but quite honestly nowadays I'm glad. Break that mold or we're just gonna keep getting the same three movies over and over until we're all dead (and it'll continue after that).
