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 betterMore please! Tagging @systlin, @beautifultoastdream and @karama9That is what the Council would have done if they were smart. Seriously. Here’s Yoda saying Anakin should not be taught because he senses too much fear in him, and it’s fear for the people he cares about, something everyone present realizes fully because when it comes to his own safety, Anakin couldn’t be more reckless.Then Qui Gon announces he’s training him anyway, someone points out he might fulfill the prophecy and bring balance to the Force, and nobody, NOBODY, thinks that MAYBE giving him a job that’s more about caring than killing might be an idea. Nope. Okay, we’re training him, let’s foster the loose canon aspect of his personalities, make him a war general and keep pushing him into vicious battles to the death. Sounds perfect for his mental health.The Jedi Council were a bunch of idiots with their head so far up their own asses even a lightsaber shoved up there to the hilt would not provide them enough light to see further than their own noses.I think I got lost somewhere in this metaphor. You get the point.After ten years, Palpatine loses his patience and decides to change his plans. Fuck it, Skywalker has kids now–two adorable little moppets who can be captured, broken, and twisted into twin powerhouses of the Dark Side. Torture one while the other watches, convince them Daddy doesn’t love them, easy-peasy.Unfortunately, he fails to reckon with the fact that not only is he going up against Anakin Fucking Skywalker, but that Anakin Fucking Skywalker is the surrogate father/big brother/best friend/cool teacher of ninety percent of the current Padawans and young Knights in the Order. And while the Council might make decisions and talk about the Will of the Force and stuff, those Padawans and Knights only care about the fact that the man who scared away the monsters under the bed–made it feel less lonely and frightening to be away from home when they were small–is now hurting and scared for his own children. Just like Palpatine always wanted, Anakin ends up leading an army. An army of young Jedi who smash the ever-loving shit out of everything “Darth Sidious” can throw at them, rescue the terrified Skywalker twins, and drag the Chancellor hisownself before the Senate with conclusive proof that he’s an evil Dark-Side-wielding bastard who kidnaps adorable kids. Attachments FTW.God, YESLuke and Leia would have grown up with 500 brothers and sisters of assorted species. Whenever you see Anakin there are 10 kids with him, occasionally actively hanging off of his arms or riding on his shoulders. (Anakin looks downright gleeful about this). Padme thinks it’s the most adorable thing ever. 20 years later by the time “A New Hope” would have begun, Anakin is 45. Padme is the new Chancellor. Luke and Leia are finishing their own Jedi training. 90% of the current young Jedi order calls Anakin ‘Dad’. He has amassed the galaxy’s largest collection of refrigerator art. After that incident with Chancellor Palpatine 15 years back, Yoda was forced to admit to Qui Gon’s very smug force-ghost that he was right. Everything is right with the galaxy. Every time Anakin and his army of kidlets defeat some nefarious plot with minimal bloodshed, Qui-Gon pops into the Council and demands, “Say it!”Yoda screeches, “Right! RIGHT, YOU WERE! Said it a thousand times, we have! On with the afterlife and harass the living no more, Qui-Gon! Off you must fuck!” -- source link
