Well, Obi-Wan does it, so non-Skywalkers are clearly capable -- but I expect it's a lot harder without epic power levels and without being able to find Luke (and potentially her daughter, depending on how thorough the creeptastic brain-wipe was), she doesn't have a lot of motivation. I, obviously, also want to write moar Arissa! So I might have resurrected her for canon-compliant stuff. BECAUSE I CAN.

The mind-rape thing is creepy on two levels for me: that Anakin/Vader regards skeevy mind stuff as torture to be used for getting information, and that apparently every other Jedi ever doesn't.

but your use of "thoughtfully" is just the perfect freakiness-icing on the creeperific cake

ahahahahahahaha. I cannot write about Palpatine without that sort of saccharine-creepiness. It's even there in ROTJ when he's constantly calling Vader his friend as if ... idek. THROW HIM DOWN THAT REACTOR SHAFT, ANAKIN.
