“You're- you're Anakin Skywalker!”
“The resemblance,” Darth Vader said, “is deceptive.“

oh ani

not me hoping that anakin doesnt turn to the dark side and just waits at the temple like windu told him to as if i dont already know what happens.

this is all so heartbreaking

oh god this is written wonderfully well.

Murderer and murdered each stared blindly.

But only the murdered blinked.

“He is the ultimate Jedi.

And he is proud to be Anakin Skywalker's best friend.”

my heart cannot take this.
behold, the most devastating brotherly relationship in the history of fiction.

“Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last.”

CHILLS

why is the writing so gorgeous? matthew stover I LOVE YOU how is this only the prologue I'm alrdy crying

“This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it. It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams.
Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or distance, it is also happening right now as you read these words.
The end starts now.”

what kind of fool gets attached to anakin skywalker, of all characters?

going into a book knowing how it ends but at the same time naively hoping the outcome will be different this time is another level of pain.
