“Future father” is the glass half-full version of “former child”.

@QwertySpace@lemmy.world avatar

I suppose “expecting father” is probably the more accurate phrase

Oh hey it’s Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Mad About Me came out in 15 BBY, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They’ve been compared to Max Rebo, but I think Figrin has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

ScrollerBall,

I need to return some holotapes…

Luke at 22: Jedi Master

Anakin at 22: …

mack7400,

Bet Anakin had power converters, though.

TheSlad, (edited ) in It doesn't always feel good to compare yourself to your parents

Guys can we please not make comparisons like this? Everybody is on their own life journey at their own pace. Anakin was taken in to be the apprentice of a great Jedi master when he was but a wee lad, luke had no opportunities beyond farming dirt and constructing additional pylons with his aunt and uncle well into adulthood.

These types of comparisons are unfair and unhealthy and promote unrealistic expectations on young impressionable minds.

Anticorp,

I asked Luke Skywalker and he said he is okay with this meme. Oddly, I couldn’t get in touch with his father.

My father was a piece of shit when he was 22 and he's still a piece of shit. I'm a piece of shit, but not nearly the piece of shit that he is. That makes me better than him. I like these comparisons.

Anakin lost to Obi Wan so I’m not sure how you can consider him the strongest Jedi.

Cethin,

He lost because he was arrogant, not because he was weak. That’s the entire point of the “it’s over Anakin, I have the high ground” thing.

Honytawk,

Arrogance should be part of the power calculation though.

Why wouldn’t you include mental character as part of your performance? It matters quite a lot in competitive sports, but what do i know I didn’t watch star wars

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Even the strongest Jedi is no match for the High Ground.

Gabu, (edited )

You’ve just signaled you don’t understand Star Wars’ plot, prepare for a deluge of explanations.

In short, Anakin was emotionally unstable during his battle against Obi-Wan. Under normal circumstances, he’d wipe the floor with his master. In the making of accounts and Star War History books, both George Lucas and Nick Gillard (choreographer for all fights before Disneyfication) confirm that Anakin was an equal to Yoda and Sidious at the end of RotS, far surpassing Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As a fun aside, in the animated series The Clone Wars, we get a glimpse at Anakin’s full potential - the ability to control all of the force at once, even swapping day for night on a whim.

Lionel,

Mace windu was actually strong as fuck though. Like he genuinely bested sidious in saber combat. It wasn’t an act.

Also, I read once that obi wan and anakin were so used to sparring together that the difference in power didn’t matter.

Gabu,

The advantage of Vaapad, using Sidious own dark side powers against him.

I read once that obi wan and anakin were so used to sparring together that the difference in power didn’t matter.

It certainly did matter, as seen in their final (RotS) duel; Obi-Wan is on his back foot, running the entire time. It’s true that they had sparred so much, they could predict each other’s movements as if it was telepathy, though.

One_Honest_Dude,

Anakin was emotionally unstable during his battle against Obi-Wan

Surely being emotionally unstable is a major sign of a bad Jedi. Obi-wan had as much reason to be emotionally unstable but maintained control and won the day, thus is the stronger Jedi.

Gabu,

That doesn’t follow at all. At that point Anakin had already abandoned the Jedi Order, he was just learning how to tap into the Dark Side, and even then Obi-Wan was kept on his back foot for the entire time, until Anakin decided that killing his master with a move created by him was a good idea.

Madison420,

Yeah they mean his power comes mostly from anger and anger is a dark side power so not a Jedi. He could have been the most powerful grey Jedi of all time but he will not ever be the most powerful light Jedi.

Buddahriffic,

Not to mention being so easily manipulated into turning and then immediately diving in to his new role to the point of killing younglings and force choking his wife. He was very weak mentally and incredibly immature. He was powerful but wasn’t a master for a very good reason.

When Anakin lost to Obi-Wan hadn't he already descended into Darth Vader?

@SirStumps@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, compare them at 23 next.

MilitantAtheist,

This.

Gabu,

Anakin - supreme commander of all Empire forces, feared across the galaxy. Can do any crime with no repercussion, except treason.
Luke - Stranded on a swamp.

Luke at 22: Blew up the Death Star

Kinda big thing to not include

Jinn,

I think he was 19 when he blew up the Death Star. 22 when he kissed Leia in ESB which I believe takes place 2 years after A New Hope.

ILikeBoobies,

2 years after A New Hope.

20,21…22

Erm

@victron@lemmy.world avatar

Math is not strong with this one.

Jinn,

It’s not lol

But I did look it up and ESB takes place in 3ABY which is 3 years after A New Hope.

Lionel,

Still possible. Not like either of the movies happened on his birthday so he could’ve been almost 20 and ESB occurred just over 2 years after.
