Tumblr crosspost (16 February 2020)

I love the Skywalkers, but every single one of them but Shmi is a walking yikes.

People will be like, "Well, MY Skywalker is pure and unproblematic" and it's just, nah, bro. Unless you're talking about Shmi, every single one of them—in-laws included—has had some moment of total fuckery. They are my eternal loves! But some of the posts about them I see are just ... uh, wow. And I have seen those posts about every one of them.

THANK you for such a thoughtful and detailed reply! And... I did not know about the takes on Anakin you mentioned but it is making a certain category of fannish reaction to Ben|Kylo make more sense to me, albeit in the most depressing ways imaginable. (Ugh, I'll be over here writing gigabytes of redeemed!Ben drawerfic if anyone needs me for anything.)
