Give me your thoughts on Tcw anakin since he’s generally perceived as the best version of anakin Hot take Tcw didn’t fix his character at all
Introduction
Anakin Skywalker has always been a divisive character. While the prequel trilogy, portrayed by Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen, received criticism, The Clone Wars (TCW) animated series, voiced by Matt Lanter, offered a version that many felt “fixed” Anakin. As someone who appreciates film Anakin, this perspective is frustrating, as it undermines the depth and tragedy of the original portrayal. The differences between these versions reveal a simplification of one of Star Wars’ most complex characters.
  1. Ben Kenobi’s Description in A New Hope
Critics often cite Ben’s description of Anakin in A New Hope as being more aligned with TCW Anakin. However, this argument ignores the context of Ben’s manipulation of Luke. His recounting of Anakin’s past is riddled with half-truths and bias, meant to steer Luke toward joining the Rebellion. Moreover, film Anakin does align with Ben’s description when considered alongside the nuances of his character—courageous, flawed, and ultimately tragic.
  1. Anakin’s Fatal Flaw: Fear
Anakin’s defining flaw is his fear—fear of loss, failure, and lack of control over his destiny. This flaw is established as early as Episode I, where Yoda warns, “Fear is the path to the dark side.” Hayden Christensen’s Anakin reflects this fear in every moment of anger or insecurity, with his “whiny” tendencies masking deep-seated pain and vulnerability.
In TCW, this fear is diluted. While Anakin’s anger is present, it lacks the underlying emotional weight and raw insecurity that make his outbursts so impactful in the films. Animated Anakin’s anger is controlled and surface-level, rarely connecting back to the existential dread that defines him. A rare exception is the Clovis arc in Season 6, but even this feels disconnected from the broader character established in the films.
  1. Anakin’s Personality
TCW Anakin is essentially “Jedi Han Solo.” Matt Lanter has admitted his performance was based on a mix of Han and Luke, making him a charming, cocky, and confident figure. This fundamentally misunderstands film Anakin, who is introspective, insecure, and burdened by the weight of being the Chosen One.
Anakin in the films carries a superiority/inferiority complex—a defensive need to prove his worth rooted in his fear of inadequacy. From his early days, he was an outsider in the Jedi Order, never fully trusted and constantly striving to prove himself. This tension is absent in TCW, where Anakin is portrayed as a popular, well-adjusted hero. His brooding introspection and melodramatic tendencies, so vital in the films, are swapped for swagger and confidence.
  1. Relationship with Padmé
In the prequels, Anakin and Padmé’s relationship is a tragic and ill-fated love story. Both are young, overburdened by responsibility, and seek solace in each other. Their romance is naive and all-consuming, reflective of their inability to navigate their respective pressures maturely. This doomed love is symbolized in their theme, “Across the Stars,” emphasizing their role as star-crossed lovers.
In TCW, their relationship is more akin to a healthy, stable partnership. Anakin is portrayed as a roguish, confident hero who charms Padmé, but this misses the deeper layers of their dynamic. Their love isn’t meant to be a functional, mature relationship—it’s a desperate escape for both of them, ultimately contributing to Anakin’s downfall. This vital layer of their bond is lost in the series, reducing their connection to surface-level romantic moments.
  1. Descent into Darkness
The claim that TCW “fleshed out” Anakin’s descent into the dark side doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. The films establish that Anakin’s fall is a culmination of long-standing fears, insecurities, and manipulations present from Episode I. By Episode II, his anger, arrogance, and fear of loss are already leading him toward destruction.
TCW, however, portrays Anakin as a stable, unambiguously heroic figure at the start of the Clone Wars. His eventual turn to darkness feels disconnected from this portrayal, as his character lacks the volatility and inner turmoil seen in the films. Rather than deepening his descent, the show simplifies it, presenting Anakin as a hero disillusioned by external factors rather than a man consumed by his own fatal flaws.
  1. A Tragic Oversimplification
Film Anakin is a deeply tragic character—a mix of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo. He begins with a fatal flaw that, left unchecked, leads to his downfall. His insecurities, fear of loss, and yearning for control make him relatable and human. In contrast, TCW Anakin is a safe, heroic archetype—a charismatic warrior who slowly becomes a tyrant. While effective for a Saturday morning cartoon, it strips away the complexity and vulnerability that define Anakin in the films.
Even moments meant to connect TCW Anakin to his film counterpart—such as the Mortis arc’s confrontation with Shmi’s memory—feel forced and hollow. This version of Anakin lacks the emotional baggage and raw pain needed to make these moments resonate.
Conclusion
TCW Anakin is not Anakin Skywalker. While entertaining in its own right, this version simplifies the saga’s most complex character into a swaggering hero with a dark streak. Film Anakin, as written and performed by George Lucas and Hayden Christensen, is far richer—a flawed, burdened, and tragic figure whose fall is inevitable from the moment we meet him. To appreciate Anakin fully, one must look beyond his “whiny” surface to the deep psychological and emotional layers that make him Star Wars’ most compelling protagonist.

I'm sure it's been spoken about but the secret that a reddit user found a few weeks ago had me thinking, and I'm sure someone will call me dumb.
But is the whole idea with the time loop theory kinda right? Because the original game came out 2 decades ago (2001) Is that what they could be referencing?

I'm a guy and I recently turned 18. I have wanted my nipples pierced for a while (about 2 years) but I am finally old enough to get them done. Only problem, I still live with my parents and I want to find ways to hide them. I'm planning on getting the right one done tomorrow anyway. I just want ways I can hide it from my family and my school (I go to a strict Christian private school)

2024.11.26 02:24 sokolowskidj0 Data Anytics/CPA Services

Hello everybody,
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
My wife and I would like to start a firm where we help businesses understand and measure the health of their business through key performance indicators.

  1. I would first go in and complete a performance audit to see where the business can improve.
  2. From the audit I would put together 10-20 key performance indicators and I would either set up the KPI system for them to run on their own or I could run it for the business owners.
Just trying to get some feedback on this services and what type of industries would be most beneficial for this?
Also what other specific services are you looking for in your business?
We would focus on small businesses.

2024.11.26 02:24 OriginalTwist72 Does this count as progress?

My derealization takes about a month. This is mainly due to the fact that I communicate with people or work, but it takes a month. Then she comes back, I don't feel reality again, I'm scared and sick, panic attacks come back, but it lets me go for a while.
This is the third time this has happened. Is this considered a path to recovery, that the symptoms can let me go for a month, or does this happen to almost everyone?

2024.11.26 02:24 IndieZona4 Training to be Boston Marathon Qualified on my first marathon.

Story time, you can skip this paragraph. So yesterday I finished my first half marathon after only ever finishing a 5k to 10k training program. I just liked the medal and didn't expect to finish it without stopping to catch my breathe a few times, but I somehow managed to finish it without stopping even once. Now I feel like a full marathon is more achievable than ever, but my overly ambitious ass wants to take it all the way to Boston. I'm signed up for a marathon in March, but I want to try to get a sub 3 hour time so that I can be qualified for the Boston Marathon. I just want to know how realistic this goal is and I need the advice of experienced runners to humble me a little.
My half marathon time from yesterday was 2:09:39. To qualify for the Boston Marathon I need to finish my marathon in March in under 3 hours. As someone who has never finished a marathon before, how likely is it that I will be able to pull it off? Or should I taper my expectations and aim for 2027 BM instead of 2026?

2024.11.26 02:24 nikkibee4 My Father

My father is an extremely triggering person He reminds me of the color red But not the red of rubies or fall leaves The red of blood The red of angry faces, pulsing veins The red of violence My dad has never been a comforting person Being compared to him elicits a wince and not a smile Being his daughter makes me feel like a monster Like one day I’ll wake up and see him in the mirror instead of me It’s a nightmarish scenario being forced to live in the same house as him Having a daughter that has him as a grandfather
His beliefs are so twisted His priorities skewed so far from what actually holds importance He’s quick to anger Yelling anger Veins in his face and neck bulging And I’ve never heard his voice quiet Only ever screaming or talking loudly I’ve never heard tenderness in his voice Never any kindness At least directed towards me
I think my dad loathes me Truly despises me Because though I was his first child I was a mistake A fluke And to rub salt in the wound, a girl, not a boy I grew into someone severely damaged So many emotional wounds, so much trauma That I think when he sees me he sees everything wrong in him And it digs deep under his skin Tortures him really That his firstborn daughter is so the opposite of what he wanted
