Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi (Patreon)

I'd like to preface this with saying: I'm okay!! I took a LONG nap with Bumi after we recreated the "Tell your sister you were right" scene a few times. Yuna said she wouldn't participate because she absolutely was NOT Leia and would only accept the role of Yoda, as she is YunaYoda. She is technically my emotional support animal on paper, but also prefers to fall asleep when I'm crying 🤣
I also realized that a huge reason I love Darth Vader as a character so much, is because traditional villains typically have easy motivations: wealth, power, control, etc. But the whole "tell your sister you were right" scene is so moving because it's not "tell *THE WORLD* you were right." it leads me to believe Anakin was a family man. When it came down to it, he only cared about what his children thought of him (and maybe his lover?), even if the entire galaxy considered him a horrible villain and celebrated his death. I know, I know I have the prequels to watch, and I am so excited for them. I will never get over that scene, truthfully, the more I think about it the more heartbroken and amazed I feel.
I also realized when I stopped recording that "Return of the Jedi" is a reference to Anakin, isn't it? Are you kidding me? Excuse me while I go cry forever.
