barukkatharine:liminy-lemony:samwisethebold:grand-duc:ialreadyreadthatfanfic:angelqueen04:luckyjak:sskyguy: the tragedy of anakin skywalker (x)#no but really#why wasn’t anakin a crechemaster#why did they let him major in stabbing?#star wars#queue (tags @cadesama)OH GOD NO BUT THAT WOULD BE PERFECT. how did the jedi not think of that?what is anakin’s biggest weakness? attachments.you know who needs lots of attachment? babies. small children.anakin should not have been made to study murder: he should have been put in charge of Small Things. He would have bonded with all of them instantly, and it would have given his life Meaning and Purpose.He’d bond with the kids, but he’d be able to move on because they are Bigger now and they have to go to the Big Kid Class but he still sees them around all the time, and it finally teaches him how to let go of his attachments??? He’d find a kid that he’s particularly fond of and go to Obi-Wan and say “I have found your newest padawan.”this could have fixed so. many. things. ;_____;Heh, and Anakin would keep picking Obi-Wan’s padawans for him, and it would be annoying but damn if he wasn’t right every single time.BUT CAN YOUJUST IMAGINE HOW ANNOYED PALPATINE WOULD BE his life would be never-endingstring of trying to get a hold of Anakin (I mean, would Anakin give him a time of day if he can spend it with small kids who absolutely adore him instead?)he keepscomming over the years, but it’s always likeBEEP“Anakin, myboy, we haven’t seen each other in a while—““I’m sorry,Chancellor, now’s not the best time. I’m tutoring a class.”BEEP“My dearboy, I wonder if we could meet for a chat—““Well, itcan’t be this week, we’re going to Ilum, but maybe later…”BEEP“Anakin,I’d like to—““I’mterribly sorry, Chancellor,” Obi-Wan Kenobi answers. The apologetic tone mightbe just a tad exaggerated. “Anakin is on a trip with younglings, hemust’ve left his comlink behind accidentally.”BEEP“You’vereached Anakin Skywalker’s private comlink. Leave the message after the tone.”BEEP“It’s sucha shame that Council doesn’t consider sending you on this campaign, consideringthe lightsaber skills you demonstrated when I was last visiting the Temple,Anakin.”“Thank you,Chancellor, but this is precisely why I need to stay behind. In fact just thelast week, the Masters decided I should take over some advanced lightsaberclasses, considering senior Padawans accompanying their Masters on the frontlinesneed the training. I might take the Bear Clan along, make it a learningopportunity for the young ones—“Palpatinecloses his eyes slowly. He knows this from experience; Anakin won’t let himselfbe budged from the topic of little monsters for at least another half an hour.BEEP“Ah,Chancellor Palpatine. Anakin left his comlink behind again, he’s in class—“BEEP“Anakin, Ihoped you—““Oh! Chancellor,”the voice on the other end is distinctly female, and Palpatine recognizes it aftera second. Kenobi’s second Padawan. He barely restrains the urge to gnash histeeth. “Um, Skyg—I mean, Master Skywalker can’t pick up now. I can tell him youcalled? It’s just that he was helping me with forms, and he forgot his comlink,and he’s probably already in crèche…”BEEPThen there’sthat one time when an actual youngling picks up the call. The less said about hisreaction to that incident, the better.BEEP“—fortunately,they were all right in the end. But in my opinion, this should never happenedin the first place, Chancellor.”Palpatinesnaps awake. Was that… was that anger? Finally, the hours of listening toworthless drivel about Jedi younglings paid off.“My boy, Iabsolutely agree,” he begins slyly, but before he can continue, Anakin steamrollson.“I think JediOrder is too deeply entwined in the conflict! I honestly don’t think evensenior Padawans should be anywhere near battles, not to mention in command ofGAR, but now even younglings are acceptable targets for Separatists and pirates!Master Yoda and I were talking about this lately, and—“Palpatineswallows a scream of rage with some difficulty.BEEP“Forgot hiscomlink again, Master Skywalker has. With younglings, he is.”Slaughteringyounglings moved to the top on the list of things Darth Sidious will do aftertaking over galaxy some time ago.this post keeps getting better and betterand when Palpatine finally finds someone else to carry out his plans, Anakin stays with the younglings.“One last demonstration, children.”“Get behind the chairs.”This is canon now shut upAnd all of it is practice for World’s Best Dad. -- source link
