1. Gungan General 2. Hostage Crisis 3. The Citadel 4. Gungan Attack 5. Prisoners 6. Shadow Warrior (at least twice, implied it was much more) 7. Slaves of the Republic 8. Escape from Kadavo (twice) 9. Crisis on Naboo (twice) 10. Sacrifice (though this was in Yoda’s vision and not real life)
So in conclusion, by the time Revenge of the Sith rolls around, Anakin has been electrocuted a minimum of 12 times. This can cause a host of physical and neurological problems, including lack of emotional control, increased aggression, etc. Strictly speaking, Anakin’s propensity towards having huge amounts of electricity (which should by all rights have killed him ages ago – there’s an entire book where Luke is dealing with the pain associated with Force lightning, whereas Anakin’s just like “whatever, just another Tuesday”) played as big of a role in his turn to the Dark Side as anything else, since it sapped his brain of the ability of cognitive reasoning.
…so are you saying that Anakin might have never joined the dark side if he wasn’t a human lightning rod?
I’m saying Anakin’s cognitive functioning and ability to control his emotions and aggression were deeply impacted by being a human lightning rod, which is the long way of saying yes.
yall out here reblogging only the first half of this but not the important stuff
During his tenure as a Jedi, Count Dooku became disillusioned by the Order. Craving power, he became the second pupil of Darth Sidious: Darth Tyranus. A clone army was secretly commissioned to ensure the protection of the Galactic Republic, but was actually part of a Sith plot to destroy the Jedi Order. Bounty hunter Jango Fett was recruited by Tyranus and was to be the genetic template for the army. Jango agreed, but had one request: the creation of a clone who Jango raised as his son, Boba Fett. Brainwashing cadets by telling them that the First Order should come
first above anything, Captain Phasma is a perfectionist who prefers operating in the field, often patrolling the halls of Starkiller Base to keep her senses sharp. For 10 years, Asajj Ventress was trained as a Jedi, but after the loss of her master, she became orphaned again, so she embraced the dark side, attracting the attention of Tyranus and being recruited to his side as an assassin. She blamed the Jedi for leaving her former master behind, so she waged war against them. Ventress was vindictive, but after becoming a bounty hunter, her attitude softened, incapacitating clones, which implied that not killing was her new MO.
To highlight her misunderstood status, she used a snake as the icon on
her armor; snakes are seen as evil, even when they’re
not. General Grievous was the commander of the droids, known for his hacking cough. Grievous defeated many Jedi, maintaining a trophy collection: the lightsabers of those he slain. His
body was a weapon, allowing lightning quick strikes, but he was also quick to run from fights, a tactic
that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan. Darth Revan utilized many lightsabers during his lifetime: a cyan, red, and violet. Revan was extremely powerful, even as a Jedi Knight. After recovering his memories, he was able to channel both light and dark sides simultaneously; as a result, Revan could unleash the Force in its purest form. Darth Malgus was a fierce frontline warrior who specialized in using rage against his enemies. Aside from his overwhelming strength, he also performed acrobatics to enhance his lightsaber combat. In addition, Malgus perfected Force lightning to the point where he could unleash a maelstrom, a devastating combo of lightning and telekinesis. Malgus became more powerful than ever before
by eliminating his weakness: his lover, Daru. Her death allowed him to reach a mental state where he didn’t
feel as if he were drawing on the Force, but felt as if he were the Force, as if he merged with it; within this state, Malgus became virtually unstoppable. Seeing death as the sole purpose of life and power as the means
to achieve that goal, Darth Nihilus preserved his existence by having his spirit linger in
his mask. His reach in the Force extended to a point where he
can feel users of the Force throughout the galaxy to find planets he would cleanse entirely, killing all touched by the Force; prolonged use of this power made him a threat to everything, as his
craving grew more intense with each feeding.
ugh, like there is LITERALLY no canonical evidence for the ~han solo: space womanizer~ head canon. like, when he first meets the ONE female character in the entire series that he interacts with he is GROUCHY and SHOUTY at her, not sauve and dashing. she thinks he is a tool and tells him this multiple times. not really smooth and charming.
he then takes to following her around on Hoth and practically pulling her pigtails asking ” DO YOU LIKE ME? YES/NO? (PLS SAY YES)” with hearts in his eyes. (Chewie probably had to throw out like a HALF DOZEN old notebooks that were filled with awful power ballads/poetry/odes to her and “Mr. Han Organa” written in different fonts)
when it comes to the iconic ‘i know’ in response to Leia’s proclamation of love, Ford has stated that it’s out of PURE CONCERN for HER FEELINGS (“the point is that I’m not worried about myself anymore, I’m worried about her” – DIRECT QUOTE), it was NOT a ‘boss’ move or ‘so swagtastic it hurts’ it was an apology that he couldn’t be there for her, it was an attempt to make her smile, to make it hurt less than if he had said the words too and then was forced to leave her. (not that he would have been much help; remember that han solo spends the majority of the 3rd film mostly blind and feeble, unable to take care of himself and generally getting in the way while Leia Gets Shit Done)
when he does say the words, it’s with the most adoring and awestruck expression. those words are fused with more than just love and respect. he’s almost HONOURED that he gets to love this badass babe and that she allows him to exist in her orbit.
AND THEN he loves Leia so much that he’s willing to step aside so she can be happy with the man he believes she wants. and valuing a woman’s choices and feelings over your own is not exactly womanizing behaviour – so where did this headcanon come from??
reckless & terribly gay
