Yanno, this just made me realize that i've never seen anyone really complain about this age difference like they do for Padme and Anakin.


Probably because this isn't canon.


Weird tangent over.

[(Anonymous)]

Not just that it's non-canon, but also that Padme/Anakin has to reckon with the actually-existing creepy, weird, poorly-written romantic dialogue, whereas the romantic dialogue for this ship exists only in your head. It's not like the script plays down the age gap the way that you would expect, you know?

[morieris]

lmao the dialogue! TNT has the rights to play the first six movies and has been doing so for like the past four days and I watched Clones and Revenge.

It is hilariously awful, but I have to admit, my favorite line in any Star Wars film has to be "I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life - I love you."

[tabaqui]

They don't? But it's so amazingly bizarre and creepy that Padme is all 'Queen blah blah' and adulting all over the place, and next thing you know, she's banging the little kid she...rescued or whatever. I always thought it was pretty meh.

[(Anonymous)]

Poe didn't meet Finn when they were a teenager and a child. They're both grown men.

[morieris]

I should have clarified, I mean Anakin and Obiwan. I wasn't even thinking about Stormpilot.

[(Anonymous)]

They don't complain because it's two men.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, I find both ships a little creepy. It doesn't do to say so, though, unless you want the shipper lynch mob on your tail.

[morieris]

Fair enough. I do ship Anidala (because I was talking about them and didn't clarify) and definitely get how people find that strange.

I mean, in the end it didn't work out so I don't feel weird about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen some people complain about this ship's age difference and calling it highly abusive and problematic. And that all Master/Padawan ships are abusive and problematic.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen that. The minute a real life padawan comes forward to talk about his Jedi master being abusive, I'll give it serious consideration. (And not just weirdos who like LARPing)

[diet_poison]

Abusive? No. Student/teacher relationships (while fine in fanon/fic, don't care) are actually pretty messed up IRL though. Power balance issues etc. Not really having anything to do with age specifically though unless one is actually a child.

I guess I'm curious as to what exactly was being said and how. There's shipping something, and then there's implying that thing would actually be ok outside of fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen some hate, but I think mainly because Ewan McGregor doesn't look ten years older? Much less the actual 18 years between the characters. Also people get a lot more sensitive about the woman being older. Fans of a het ship in my fandom with a 5 year age difference (with the guy older) regularly bash another het ship for the 2 year (woman older) age gap.

[(Anonymous)]

You've also got tiny Anakin little-kid flirting with Padme in Phantom Menace, which just emphasizes the age gap.

[(Anonymous)]

The Padme Anakin age difference never bothered me. They were only like 4 years apart. And she wasn't interested when he was a kid. And it's natural for kids to get crushes.

On the other hand, everything else about Anakin/Padme bothered me.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm just saddened that you're not writing Stormpilot anymore :( They're so awesome and lovely and the AO3 tag is just so slow :(

[ibbity]

I don't ship Obi-Wan/Anakin, but that picture of them is absurdly cute. I do ship Finn/Poe (sometimes with Rey in there as well) and that picture is also very cute. Basically I'm just here for the cute, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

I will never understand the appeal of Obikin (or Padme/Anakin for that matter), considering they had literally no chemistry at all. Fucking no one did in the PT.

[(Anonymous)]

Watch The Clone Wars!

[(Anonymous)]

I thought Obi-Wan/ Qui-Gon had a TON of chemistry. Sadly, Lucas did not agree.

[(Anonymous)]

obi-wan/qui-gon is a pretty popular ship isn't it?

[saturnofthemoon]

Not really, I see a white dick pairing as something that makes no sense in canon except that the characters are white, like Clint/Coulson. Anakin and Obi-wan loved each other, whether you see it as platonic or shippy.

[(Anonymous)]

It might be because Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship in canon is long and incredibly fucked up, so adding sex and romantic love to that just flavors that angsty mess that some people eat up with a spoon.

[otakugal15]

Lol, I am so late this poat but...

Ani/Obi was my jam in high school. And I don't give a fuck what the SJWs are crying over, I still love it. I even ship Anakin/Ahsoka.

But man, the book for RotS sure didn't help what with how gay it was, damn. I adore that book, so much.
