‘Outdated in every aspect from its open world design to its core gameplay, riddled with game-breaking bugs, absent any sort of coherent plot and starring an insufferable cast of characters, the Saints Row reboot is a disaster‘ ‘reviews of the new Saints Row paint a picture that is basically ‘a sad retread of saints row 3 with way more bugs and noxious writing’ which is worse than even I was expecting’
Obi-wan: and THEN I ‘surrender’ to the enemy-
Anakin: OR I sneak into the enemy base with Ahsoka and-

Obi-Wan Kenobi couldn’t give Leia a blaster even as a ten year old because the Empire would have been over in two months and we have to keep them around until the OT.
obi-wan: so, mercy,
leia, already standing over palpatine’s smoking corpse: what
THIS FUCKING BROKE ME, because Obi-Wan isn’t prone to hallucinations, like okay maybe he has finally so stressed that he cracked under the pressure, but I don’t think so, because we don’t really see any other indications of it, but instead we do see that these two sense each other through the Force, that the MINUTE Obi-Wan uses the Force again, Vader’s eyes snap open and they feel each other. We see later in this episode, Obi-Wan is hit with a tidal wave of a psychic onslaught when he sense Vader. The camera tilts and wobbles and the music vibrates in a way that makes you feel underwater in both scenes. They feel the same. These two people are connected through the Force, we know they always will be, that Vader will sense Obi-Wan on the Death Star, and I think he’s sensing Obi-Wan here as well, just as Obi-Wan is seeing him. But what is destroying me is that Obi-Wan sees him as he knows Anakin, the unburned version, the one who stands with his arms wrapped tightly around his middle, in almost a vulnerable sort of way. The one whose cloak is almost too big for his frame, the one who would fiddle with the giant sleeves of his robes when he was nervous, the one who huddles in them like a shield. The way Obi-Wan remembers him. The way that some core part of Darth Vader still remembers himself as, especially when connecting with Obi-Wan. He’s so full of hate and rage that he cannot admit to this part of himself, whatever good is in him at when he feels Obi-Wan, he can’t admit to it because Obi-Wan is the part of himself that he wants to kill off, Hayden has said that probably half a dozen times in interviews, that he wants to destroy Obi-Wan because he wants to destroy that part of himself. And this is what he wants to destroy. The part of himself that is vulnerable and lonely and not the terrifying murder cyborg, the part that Obi-Wan Kenobi sees, the part that Anakin will always remember so long as Obi-Wan is alive and has hope. Anakin cannot admit to what he’s done, he cannot go back after all of this, Obi-Wan will always know him and what he did, it’s only Luke that can offer him a future that he can accept, because Luke is only the future, not the past, Luke will never see him like this. But this is still the core of who Anakin Skywalker is, the one that Obi-Wan Kenobi sees.
GOD I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE. THE WAY IT STARTS OUT WITH VADER’S CATWALK SASHAY TOWARDS THE SHIP YOU CAN SEE THE “WALK WALK MURDER BABY” ON FULL DISPLAY HE IS WORKING IT LOOK AT HIM BUT THEN! WHAT REALLY GETS ME ABOUT THIS SCENE IS THE SAME THING THAT RUNS THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE.

#ALL RIGHT I STILL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN #IT IS A CRIME THAT THIS SCENE WAS CUT FROM THE MOVIE #ESPECIALLY FOR ANAKIN’S FACE ALONE:
#THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING IN THE ENTIRETY OF STAR WARS #THAT IS THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO KNEW THEY WERE RIGHT #WAS JUST PROVEN RIGHT #AND IS VERY DELIBERATELY NOT LORDING IT OVER THE PERSON WHO WAS SO VERY VERY WRONG #I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO ANAKIN SKYWALKER MORE
#THE FLASHBACKS WERE SO GOOD #THEY WAY THEY CUT BETWEEN BOTH OBI-WAN AND VADER REMEMBERING THEM #AND THAT VADER IS STILL REFUSING TO LEARN FROM THEM #HE IS STILL DESPERATE TO PROVE HIMSELF, HE IS STILL AN EMPTY BUCKET WITH A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM #NOTHING IS EVER ENOUGH #THERE IS NO SELF-SATISFACTION IN HIM HE’S CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO OTHERS TO FILL HIM UP TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF TO THEM TO PROVE HIMSELF TO THEM #AND THIS IS WHO VADER STILL IS #ANAKIN BARELY EVEN LETS OBI-WAN FINISH SAYING JEDI DEFEND LIFE NOT TAKE IT #BEFORE HE’S AGGRESSIVELY SWINGING HIS LIGHTSABER AGAIN #’YOUR NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF IS YOUR UNDOING. UNTIL YOU OVERCOME IT, YOU ARE A PADAWAN STILL.’ #AND I KIND OF LOVE THAT IT’S HAYDEN’S OLDER FACE HERE #THE ONE THAT DARTH VADER WOULD BE WEARING RIGHT NOW WITHOUT THE BURNS #BECAUSE DARTH VADER IS STILL A PADAWAN #AND THE FLASHBACKS ARE SET AT AN INTERESTING TIME #BECAUSE THIS ISN’T DURING THE WAR #THIS IS WHEN ANAKIN WAS A PADAWAN IT’S BEFORE THE WAR #THE WAR DIDN’T SHAPE HIM INTO THIS IT’S WHO HE’S ALWAYS CHOSEN TO BE #WHO HE IS STILL CHOOSING TO BE #THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT THAT VADER KNOWS THESE FLASHBACKS THEY’RE JUST AS MUCH HIS AS OBI-WAN’S #AND HE STILL DOESN’T LEARN FROM HIS AGGRESSION HERE NOT WORKING #OBI-WAN DISARMS HIM AND POINTS OUT WHAT HE NEEDS TO LEARN #BUT ALL ANAKIN TAKES AWAY IS ‘MERCY DOESN’T DEFEAT ENEMIES’ #AND IT’S JUST EVERYTHING THAT IS ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND DARTH VADER
They all got batburgers after

Feast your eyes on the magnificent galaxy M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy! This hypnotic spiral galaxy was captured in visible light with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. Living up to its nickname, the Whirlpool Galaxy has the traits of a typical spiral galaxy, like beautifully curving arms, pink star-forming regions, and brilliant blue strands of star clusters.
The Whirlpool Galaxy is located about 31 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici.
