Summary: His life is a fairytale they tell children.
---------------------------
His life is a fairytale they tell children.
His
story is that of contrasts, of hopes met, expectations fulfilled. The
proof that the world is just.
He was a child who had destroyed an armada. A slave who married a
queen. The oldest pupil the Jedi have ever taken, but who became the
greatest hero of them all.
“You too can be like Anakin Skywalker,” parents repeat to their
children. Or “do you think Anakin would be afraid of the dark?”
The children drink it in, wide-eyed. Some of them dream of meeting
him, someday. They want to fight by his side and save the world. They
don't realize there is no world to save. Not for him.
The fairytale is simple, and clean, and sane. It is pure like a child
drawing is pure: all straight lines and colors a bit too bright. There
is no pain, no anger, no fear. No loss so complete it cleaves the
Universe in two: the before, when life had meaning, and the
after when there was nothing, not even the void.
In the fairytale, Shmi’s blood does not seep through his fingers.
The Tusken village lives on undisturbed. Qui-Gon travels through space
with his gentle smile, and Obi-Wan is proud of his padawan. There is
no friendship betrayed, no freedom collapsing, no trust unkept. Padme
is dressed in spring and he’s protected her from everyone, even
himself.
In the fairytale, the child hero who has always finished his meals and
always, always listened to his parents, rides off into the sunsets of
a thousand suns, his Queen and his Jedi sword at his side.
Slave hero, Jedi Knight, Husband of Padme Amidala, Lord of the Sith.
Darth Vader steps forward, imprisoned in his armor. The fairytales are
done.
End.
