My favorite movies when I was a kid were the original star wars trilogy, my favorite character I think you can guess. I was a tomboy through and through and she was kinda the first BAMF female character I was exposed to. I was absolutely crushed when she passed. RIP Carrie Fisher.
STAR WARS CELEBRATION ANAHEIM 2022 ART SHOW “Beacon of Hope,” Adam Schickling
“Princess Leia was devoted to the Rebellion’s cause of protecting the galaxy from the Empire. This piece captures the strength of the young princess who, against all odds, formed a friendship with a farm boy, a smuggler, a Wookiee, and a pair of droids to destroy the Death Star and defeat the Empire. She would continue to guide the Rebellion’s continued conflicts against the oppressive Galactic Empire. Her leadership and determination serve as a ‘Beacon of Hope.‘”
Imo one of the best things the Star Wars prequels did was establish how much Anakin/Vader *wanted* he and Padme’s baby. Because if it HAD been written as him never knowing she was pregnant, or not caring much because he was Too Much of a Man in War to really give a shit that he was going to have a kid (both of which are things people have suggested would have been *better* somehow), I don’t think it would have added as much to his relationship with Luke as it did. Vader doesn’t love Luke just as an extension of Padme, or in an obligatory, familial way, or even as a last connection to the person he was way.
Vader loves Luke because he’s always loved Luke, from the moment he knew there was going to be a Luke to love. He wants to know Luke because he’s always wanted to know him. He wants to be a part of Luke’s life, because he never had any intention not to be. That’s important. That’s powerful shit.
