Hmmmmm, well....so I do suppose, then, by now it's probably not something left in much doubt after all, that he *is* rather the consummate, blooded and much-tested and well-and-finely-proven, artfully-crafted and vibrantly, keenly, energetically and lethally, beautifully-honed creature of action, then, pure and simple....heck, he's only been doing it all his life, anyway, so why wouldn't he be fairly born and made for it, so well-bred for it, too, in any case....for action, energy, zest, excitement and stimulation of most any, ahem, particular variety, then wink - as though it definitely does satisfy that sheer zeal and inner fire in him, the lust for experience and the eagerness to vibrantly, truly, and deeply *live* to the very fullest potential and deepest extreme....
As though it just touches on a very fundamental part of his being, actually, something deep-down inside him, the kinetic fervour of his high spirits and the zest and rarin'-to-go enthusiasm, the sense of course also of adventure and daring besides....and so anything that touches on that part of him, then, anything which so well appeals to that fundamental makeup of his being and which allows him to really flourish, go wild, take chances and be impulsive, daring, heedless, inventive and free, well....of course he could only be *allllllll* for it, then. Such a man of action as he is, after all, of the body and also of the heart, so what else could *he* ever do but be....really just all kinds of active in turn, actually happy ....even whatever I suppose that might mean for him, too....and even or no doubt especially if it portends pretty much putting himself, life, limb and all, right there in very real harm's way and with the true element of quite deadly danger involved besides....
Including, for that matter, the very real chance of getting carved to ribbons or blasted into tiny smithereens if ever he so much as makes the merest wrong move, or is ever even the tiniest hair too slow to react, to dodge, or to dive right in there with his weapon or to let loose with a ferocious volley of plasma or laser fire from whatever ship he might be at the helm of at the time.... In theory at least, anyway, there could exist that very real chance of being very badly hurt or still worse for it, and so maybe there's always that inherent possibility that throwing himself unflinchingly and stoically right into literal harm's way like that, time and time again, could at *some* point backfire on 'im and maybe in fairly spectacular fashion besides.... There is - always at least in theory the chance, then, I suppose, that the harebrained and unprecedented daredevil risk might not necessarily pay off....
Still, though, it also seems to me that *he* at least ends up approaching it with plenty enough brazen confidence and this-*&will*-work-because-I'm-the-Chosen-One-and-I-*do*-know-what-I'm-doing, so-it-just-*has*-to attitude and utter self-certainty, and a total sense of confidence in himself and his abilities and instincts to begin with, that truth be told there just seems little doubt then that he *will* find a way to make it work, pull it off, pay off quite nicely the potentially very deadly risk he's taking, and also that he'll be more than ju-ust fine for it.... *He* seems to think so, at any rate, so if that's the perspective on it that he himself obviously has, is the thing, if that's the healthy and encouraging, always forthrightly and boldly confident take he has on it, then, such risk and daring and the whole man of action thing and all that it entails, all that he gets into with it, in other words....
If *he's* plenty enough okay with it then, it seems to me, and he's not worried that he'll manage more than well enough and he'll always find a way to pull it off, then hey, I'm certainly not the least bit worried either, and so if he's confident enough in his own abilities and prodigious talents.... And, oh, incidentally, that's another thing, that he's also justifiably enough proud of 'em too, by my reckoning, because after all - well, if you *are* good at something like he most assuredly is, natch....if you *do* in fact have a gift for it, a particular and especial aptitude for it, then why *not* take some well-earned and much-deserved pride in it then, right, in something you're well enough good at and you know you do *more* than fine with it besides.... And so, well, if you can use your inborn talents to do that great job and pull off something special, too, for all that, something even that no one else could ever do....
No one could ever do it quite like *you*, at any rate, which is part and parcel of the whole point, too, right there - if you do, then, have that unique and wonderful talent or especial flair for something, if you have an ability that maybe others might not necessarily have quite like you do, but it *is* something you've got and something you're naturally comfortable in using and calling on as you see fit....it's a talent, then, which is really all your own and it's also right there *in* you to be used anyway, to be exercised and demonstrated so's you can accomplish something with it.... And so, well, why not be fully proud of that then, is the thing, of the specialty you might have or the particular talent, quirk or extra skill that you can in one form or another show off, or just *do* something with, utilize it, in other words....it seems to me that if it's your own particular niche gift and talent, your own little flair to be used and tapped into as you see fit, and you're *good* at it, besides....
Then, yes, there's only naturally every reason to take pride in that, to appreciate something you're good at, and recognize that it's something *more* than worthy besides. Being proud of a unique talent or an especial skill, in other words....proud of yourself, and the neato things you can do and the fact that you're good at, well, what you *are* good at, and what you really do as no one else truly can, because you're *you* and you have a gift, that's what....this, it seems to me, is to be counted only a good thing. Just as much for Anakin as it is for any of us, natch, and goodness only knows, also, that Anakin in turn *did* have rather a heckuva lot to take pride in, all his own unique talents and great inherent gifts, his sheer specialness and his unprecedented and simply limitless ability, and of course how it all came so very, very easily and naturally to him besides....heck, surely he'd also *more* than earned the right to be proud of his skill, his many accomplishments and heroics and all that....
If ever anyone had done plenty enough to take genuine pride in, then, for *sure* and certain 'twould have to be *him*.....many times over, actually, by my adoring reckoning. grin And oh, now....surely that, too, come to think of it also had to go at least *some* way towards instilling a great sense of confidence in him, and what *he* can do, in turn....plenty easy enough to believe in it, at any rate, and in so doing also to believe in *him*, because really, now, he just makes it so....he's got the attitude, the air for it, all right, he's got that certain way about him and how he carries himself besides.... So that it just seems like the easiest thing in the world in turn, is all, to have that confidence in him and what he can pull off, and to believe that no matter the risk or the danger involved in, well, whatever it is, really, whatever manner or breed of action he's getting up to, still he'll end up being, you know, ju-ust fine for it, no worries, no need to fret nor fear....
Because that's just how *he* feels about it, that's his own personal take on it too....he think he van handle whatever it is, he's totally sure that it won't be a problem at all, and so indeed it won't. Because *he* himself knows that it won't be, because *he* intrinsically feels like with every fibre of his bold and brazen being that he can handle it, that he's more than up for it and really nothing out there is ever gonna faze him or give him much pause or be anything that he *can't* take on in any case....and if that's what he's thinking, what he instinctively and absolutely knows, then that's what's truly the case for him then, clearly....his own personal focus determining this reality for him, then, is also how it seems....and pretty convincing, too, for all that.... Heck, *I* certainly buy it, no questions ever asked, that's what....
Because oh, now, all's I know is that with even but one look in those fierce eagle summer-sky and warmly, richly ocean-blue eyes of his, then, and seeing the ferocious intention, the zeal and the great high spirit, the stubbornness and the energy behind them too....with even but one mere look at him in such fine action and high fettle and form besides, at the sheer brazenness and unabashed boldness of him, at the out-there forthrightness of him, at how he even speaks his mind and his heart so openly and honestly, and makes no bones of his own personal opinions and doesn't at all shy away from that, nor does he exactly stint on it in any case....all that, then, simply strikes me as like *the* most convincing thing in any case....I don't know how anyone could ever be left in any doubt then, just to see the very surety of him, the self-confidence and the easy assurance of him....
Far as I'm concerned, then, it really *is* just that easy to believe in him and what he can in fact do, because *he* already does, and so that's just what he projects in turn, the undeniable attitude and clear, refreshing air he gives off all on his own....he feels it, so we can't help but pick up on it and respond to it in turn. Quite the nice cycle to have goin', actually, come to think of it. wink *tee hee*

It seems Jake Loyd is the next Guest of Honor at C4! http://www.officialpix.com/OPX/CIV/2C6C3169-436A-4022-8785-273A7B631DDA.html

I was hoping he would sign autographs this time, but I didn't expect that he would be GOH status. Go Jake! I might be reading too much into this, but I find it interesting that Ben added "Lets give him a warm welcome" in Jake's introduction. I would think that Jake hasn't done many conventions for the same reason Ahmed Best has only done one, and that's pretty sad. I sure hope people don't give him a hard time or make any stupid remarks towards him, no matter how much they might not have liked his portrayal of young Anakin. He still deserves to be treated with respect. Now, if Hayden fills another of the two remaining GOH spots, I'm going to be one happy woman. I would love to see a panel where they each describe their experiences in playing the same character at such important, yet different points in his life.

I read the announcement yesterday at starwars.com and this time I plan on getting his autograph.

From what I understand about his appearance at Celebration III, he did get a warm welcome from fans. In fact, one of my online friends got to take a picture with him in the fan club lounge, and he was absolutely mobbed. In a good way wink . Maybe Official Pix is just making certain people are polite, maybe you are reading a bit much into it nerd . But based on my experience at Celebration II, fans are not disrespectful to actors in the way they can be at Comic Con.

I didn't really have a problem with Jake's performance in TPM. I mean, he wasn't really a great/deep actor like the rest of the cast and his lines were kind of wooden but he put across the persona of a very young and childlike, cute Anakin. He was small in stature, and innocent looking, and that is exactly what GL was probably aiming for in telling the beginnings of Anakin's story...

And, oh, actually I was also just thinking that - alright, well, so it's surely not something in any doubt by now, that he just *is*, then, quite the creature of consummate, smooth-limbed, rippling-and-rounded-muscled, magnificently lithe and dancerlike limber, fleet and agile, confident and brazen, head-on eager and impulsive, jaw-dropping daring and *quite* fine action in his own right - mmmmmm, yep, a man of such beautiful action and headlong, full-on experience and daring and impulsive brazen adventure after all - if there's something to do then he's obviously not at all the type to just, you know, sit idly by and do nothing, clearly he simply *has* to do something....if he's facing one challenge or another, no matter how hair-raising, spine-chilling or blood-curdling it might be, then he'll gladly and willingly, even downright eagerly take it on because, of course, it's only just what he's been doing all his life anyway, it's just what he's always been about, himself....
And of course, to actually see him *in* action like that at all, just to see him right there in the very fine thick of most whatever it is, actually, and simply being active at *all*, and involved and right in there and basically showing off his true mettle and more than proving what seems to me his pretty great worth all over again, well....far as I'm concerned there's just everything right in the world with that one too, because of course, well....never has it been a purely better-lookin' state of being than it is on *him* too, by the way, what with such bright and eager, lively-gleaming eyes and the merest sheen of even subtly exerted sweat there salting his sweet supple skin and dappling him like, oh, let's say the first dewy beads of morn, for instance.... And, oh, I don't doubt you know e-*zactly* where I'm going with that one, by the way.... wink
And, oh, also, what about - the excited swift timpani of his heartbeat, so strong and vibrant and kinetically eager there as it pounds away such an invigorating and expectant rhythm, there snug and sure 'neath the honed and smoothly rounded and intimately sculpted planes and simply magnificent arcs and clean, precise lines of his broad and defiant chest, too, for all that, and even the way his breathing might be coming a little faster and shorter still, quickened in excitement and anticipation, not overmuch and not too heaving but still, you know....just *enough*, anyway....the energized fluttering of his pulses, too, the sudden and I'd imagine in a way even almost downright intoxicating thrill that probably shoots through his entire body, too, so warmly suffuses him from silky touseld head allllll the way down to staunchly and confidently braced, handsomely shaped bare toes and back again....
At a time like that, I mean, when excitement or adventure or really action of most any stripe is well enough at hand, like, yes, even whether it's in the very heat o' deadly chaotic frenzied full-on battle or even if it's not, like even if it's the, ahem, rather more....intimate and personal sort, as it were wink - then, mmmmmmm, yes, it really *does* seem something, a state o' being as it were, that he really *is* so well-born and made and so finely crafted for, every brazen, daring, impetuous and willful, firebrand lean, lithe, nimble, supple and firm young inch of him, to be sure, this is clearly just the sort o' thing he's meant for and no mistake....to be active, to be involved, to *experience* and to well-and-truly vibrantly, fully, energetically, zestfully, full-on *live*....
Such a man of action is he then, after all, how else could he ever possibly be but right there in the very thick o' things, right in the midst of whatever's happening, taking on the challenge, engaging the risk and chancing the great and exciting, unparalleled adventure....simply because he *can*, to be sure - because it's there to be had, because it's *his* for the taking, anyway....and no doubt also because he *does* only feel ever more purely and exhilaratingly alive for it, too. happy And oh, mmmmmmmm, yes, how handsomely and strikingly, charmingly and Heroically well does he wear it then, how mightily fine it does look on him besides, when for whatever reason he's just feeling the need or I guess has occasion to be all, ahem....exerted-like, then, I guess you could say, when he basically just has to push himself like that....

Oh, now, it's also not - too, *too* much, mind you, but just....enough....so that one can see it in him like that, the subtle yet undeniable and positively delish and even, yes, I daresay also rather succulent and delectable - and you *know* just how literally I mean that, too wink - little signs here and there which rather speak to his exertions, to him exercising his powers, his strength and also his many, many....*huge* talents, ahem.... It may not seem like much, I suppose, be it a little dappling of sweet, salted sweat here and there on supple yet firm, softly giving, pliant Tatooine-burnished skin or even slightly sheening lean and well-honed limbs and such a proudly-uplifted, bold and defiant smooth young brow, too, at that, or even how he might be driven or pushed so that his breathing comes a little quicker and more excited and anticipatory still, heaving ju-ust a little....

Or, at the very least, it's certainly enough so that you really can't help but in earnest wonder, well, just how to bring that about, to....evoke it, then, to bring it out in him - and there is of course one way in particular *I* know to make it happen, incidentally, to quicken his tingling pulses like that and to set his strong and steady heartbeat pounding fiercely, maybe a little more energetically and exhilarated, too, I suppose.... Mmmmmm, yep, there definitely is at least one surefire way indeed to get this sort of sublime reaction from him then, to basically, well, work him like this....and it actually doesn't even necessarily have that much to do with....the exertions and enlivenening vigors, the challenges and the wild daredevil on-the-edge excitement of battle, then, be it from behind the helm of one ship or another and so bravely and boldly, daringly and recklessly fighting and flying, so artfully dodging, juking, spinning, diving and weaving with fair the best of 'em anyway....

Or, oh, for that matter even if it's from behind the lightning-flashing dazzling blue-fire arc of his whirlwind blade, too....although, oh, what a truly beautiful thing he is as he moves with it, incidentally, and it even fair dances to his will and his lethal intention too, as though it's just something so innately attuned to him that it's as much as a part of his own physical being, really, like just another limb for him to make use of and wield however he chooses.... He rather makes it look just that easy and certainly natcheral to *him*, at any rate, like it's just as good as having the sword itself for another limb, and rather than it being something he's wielding, you know, separate, I guess it's almost like an intrinsic part of his own physical being, so closely attuned to him and working in such fine, swift and seamless concert with the rest of 'im too that it really is as good as any other limb or part of his body he's been born with and had all this time....

Literally it's like an extension of himself, then, and no mistake, and for sure and certain that too is a real thing of vicious and deadly yet balletic beauty, when he wields it so expertly and gracefully, calls it to his fist-clenched splay-fingered hand, and then exerts himself with it as I'm sure he only will....when, ye-es, the occasion surely does call for it....although to be fair, well....that wasn't necessarily the, ahem, only lightsaber that I was thinking of at the time.... wink *extremely sly and coquettish expression* And, oh, you know, when it does then come to such matters of....exertion, and appropriate strenuousness....when it's all about the fine and fetching and *most* handsomely appealing state of being in action, then, and just what he can in fact do with it....then, mmmmmm, yes, just how it certainly does look on him specifically, and oh, ne'er a better or more toothsomely gorgeous, stimulating sight has there been, too....ne'er a more - perfect specimen of the principle, really. wink love

laugh Seriously, CW had some great VO actors that really matched their film counterparts. Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Mace are good examples, too. The only thing I'm a tiny bit dissapointed about is the fact that they don't have a multi-signable autograph photo of Anakin and Padme, seeing as both voice actors will be there. I'd love to get a picture from their secret meeting in Chapter 21 signed.

We-ell, now, even in its own right I'm thinking that - what he did in managing so spectacularly well and under the circumstances also rather flawlessly to boot, to so bravely and expertly steer a roughly zillion-tonne smoldering, shuddering and flying-itself-apart charred wreck and ruin of what was actually technically left of a ship to quite the precise and stunningly skillful, albeit I suppose also metal-crunching and pavement-smashing crash-landing at that, well - for starters, then, for sure and certain it's only something to be mighty proud of because goodness only knows that I am very much so of *him*.... For honestly, now, who else is ever gonna be able to pull off the completely unprecedented and the wholly impossible and the seemingly suicidally daring, risk-courting thing like that but, aaahhh, of course only the one who's rather just like all that in his own right anyway....
And, thus, also that he's also clearly as perfectly well-suited to it and so completely at ease with it and handling it with such clear aplomb besides.... Who else for it, then, oh aye, indeed....but, of course, one who was himself but a creature of such beautiful risk and nerve and impetuous daring anyway, of such impossible dreams realized and achieved and such unprecedented victories gained....never anyone better meant for the job then, clearly, never anyone else more suited or more ready to take it on and to really run with it, to in every sense just *really* show 'em how it's done....than the one who, of course, could so well and capably do it as though he had been really all his life, and as though for that matter it was only what he was fairly meant and honed for anyway. In fact, hmmmmmm, come to think of it, right.... wink Ahem.... But, mmmmmm, yes, in any case I do figure that even that much, then, such a vastly impressive feat and towering accomplishment in itself....
Oh, now, it just *had* to be quite the testament to him, his heroics, his deadly-serious, I-know-what-I'm-doing, don't-worry-I-can-*so*-handle-this steadfast and clearly ironclad will and determination, his total unfaltering courage in the face of challenge and thus his utter certainty in himself and just what he's full well capable of, too, all his very great inborn talents and his natural prodigious gifts, all his easy self-assured ways and his brazen, naked, this-*will*-work confidence.... Mmmmmm, yep then, it really does still just strike me as just such proof positive of him and his obvious mettle, his intrinsic Heroic nature and his *clear* worth besides - not like anyone would ever be left in any doubt of it *then*, afterwards, it seems to me....
I mean, hey, surely it definitely counts as quite the vivid testament to his skill and precision, his unshakeable nerve and his utter head-on willingness in the face of the seemingly lethally impossible and the outright suicidal, his clear certainty that he knows ju-ust what he's doing and he's got it all completely under control, intrinsically, no matter I suppose how it might look to anyone else actually watching....and, okay, maybe on the surface of it they might think they've some reason to be freaking out or panicking.... Because, well, maybe to them it might at first fleeting glance seem like it's nothing more than suicide and just foolhardy and insane par none, and surely there's just no way humanly possible that *anyone* could ever have something so knife's-edge daring and treacherous and death-skirting risky, and also *rather* totally unprecedented and just completely beyond the pale and outside any hint of the rulebook to boot, actually under control....
When maybe to *them*, like to the untrained eye, I mean, it must be something lookin' just totally uncontrollable by really any man....though ahhhhhh, but then, people so unwitting and unwary as to be thinking *that*, well, clearly they've just never seen *Anakin* in such fine and unfettered and flawlessly confident action, then, they've perhaps ne'er before been lucky enough to see just what a man of such splendid and beautiful action can do when he is, well, *in* action at all....else of course they'd not be so quick to say something can't ever be done, or that something else just isn't the least bit humanly possible or achievable and anyone who might ever dare try is as good as inviting suicide or worse.... They've not seen *Anakin* actually at work, then, and bein' just every inch the true and blooded and valiant Hero to boot....else they'd already know far better and would just let 'im have at it, trust in 'im, and just let him do his thing because that's only what he's darn well best at besides....
It surely would be just his thing, then, *his* way, that's what....and so I'd wager they should even count themselves darn fortunate to see it, to even be around it, exposed to it, actually. wink grin And, oh, honestly, who knows but what even this much, then, even just somehow looking this far, no further, in terms of worth and merit and all that....we-ell, then, maybe it actually is rather enough by *far* of a test of him and his steadfastness of courage, his unfaltering unflagging spark of spirit and his sheer breathtaking nerve, his obvious acclimatized ease with the unpredictable and the audacious, the reckless and the wild and even the seemingly and quite impossibly insane as well.... Maybe even this much, then, really is like task enough to more than prove a thousand times over just what he's so well and fitly, so ably and handsomely, stubbornly made of....and, also, just what it is he *can* in act very much do, when the opportunity presents itself....
And, of course, also when there's no one else around who could ever do anything like it and so it really is totally up to him alone, and it really is *his* time to well-and-truly shine and to definitely show 'em how it's all done, and just what one can in plain fact do and the very great and astonishing and positively jaw-dropping things that can really be accomplished....with unprecedented inventive and fairly unmatched confident and self-assured, completely-in-control, unwavering and undaunted lionhearted Heroics like that, with a will and a heart like that, too, indeed....with the sheer desire to pull off the frankly impossible and to surpass and excel, to quite simply be the very best, too....just, you know, like that as well....mmmmmm, yep, talk about seriously taking everyone else to school, then, and no mistake. happy *tee hee*
And, oh, really now, taking it like that, then, such a fairly masterful and, under the potentially very dire and death-courting right-on-the-knife's-edge risky circumstances also quite seamless and undeniably spectacular, simply jaw-droppingly audacios and unprecedented and also all but flat-out impossible, especial and *very* noteworthy thing that Anakin did there, in making that pretty well pitch-perfect, definitely-couldn't-have-asked-for-nor-dreamed-of-anything-better-under-the-circumstances expert little crash-landing of the ship on Coruscant, or specifically what little did by then remain of that shaking, shuddering, on-fire smoldering and falling-apart ship, at any rate....rather less than half by that point, yet still no small feat nor ship by *any* means, yet oh, just *look* at what he managed to do with it....
Pure standard of "impossible" in terms of piloting and flying, too, that'd what it surely was right there (yet really, now, he's been achieving the impossible and the undreamed-of in flying for instance, all his life anyway....so maybe even this, too, at its core just amounted to....merely a refreshing little edge-of-his-seat challenge....if perhaps not a whole heckuva nervewracking or testing more than that. If you know what I mean. wink ) - and, moreover, also in a way that without a doubt only had to make him ever more the serious Holonet Hero and just a source of endless awe and fascination into the bargain....that, yeah, and methinks also that if they ever did write a manual or textbook talking about expert fighting and flying and truly The Very Best, even and perhaps especially when it comes to hair-raising and spine-chilling, breathtaking masterful crash-landings, well....
Methinks, then, that the tale of what Anakin pulled off there, from behind the controls of the hulking, fiery wreck and ruin of the Invisible Hand, would absolutely have to be right front-and-centre and really the first example in the tome....heck, it could actually pretty well start and end with him, too, far as I'm concerned, and surely that right there would also have to make for the only flying manual and piloting guide that anyone would ever need....at least with him as the Poster Boy for it, I mean. happy *giggles*

Good news! Mat Lucas, who played Anakin in the Clone Wars series as well as various SW games, will also be signing autographs at C4. http://www.officialpix.com/OPX/Celebrities.html


We'll have to pat him on the back for screaming exactly the same way Hayden does on film wink .

--MissPadme


I thought that too! grin I guess I'm not the only one; when he screamed after fighting Asaj I thought, "Now that must be Hayden voicing that." The only complaint I had about the clone wars was the voice for Padme. She just didn't seem...Padme. Maybe a little too whiny or juvenile, it's hard to put my finger on it.

And, oh, actually I was also just thinking that - alright, well, so it's surely not something in any doubt by now, that he just *is*, then, quite the creature of consummate, smooth-limbed, rippling-and-rounded-muscled, magnificently lithe and dancerlike limber, fleet and agile, confident and brazen, head-on eager and impulsive, jaw-dropping daring and *quite* fine action in his own right


doh! This is little Jake we're talking about, right Dawn? confused

And, oh, honestly, I suppose that to me it does just seem a vastly, almost beyond-his-mere-mortal-years astonishing and quite impressive feat besides - the fact pure and simple that he was able to so expertly and, under the, ahem, rather unique circumstances also quite seamlessly take what at the time really amounted to little more than a hunk of charred and smoking, twisted and breaking-apart, disintegrating-by-degrees wreck and ruin of a former ship....or rather less than half of one, more like....and bring it to an essentially flawless and close-to-textbook-perfect shuddering crash-landing halt on the ground....after admittedly bringing that wreck screaming down white-hot and sizzling through the rapidly thickening atmosphere, losing pieces of it all along the way, and basically serving as little more than a very heavy and very searing, jagged-edge missile falling to earth at something close to a zillion miles an hour....rough estimate. Ahem. wink
Still though, yes, far as I'm concerned the fact does definitely remain that when you take into account just *allllllll* those variables involved, like how the whole endeavour, especially in anyone else's hands, could and no doubt *would* have gone very catastrophically, plowing-at-top-insane-speed-into-the-pavement nose-first wrong so that there likely would've been nothing left of the ship but a charred huge furrow in the ground and a heap of slag at the end of it....hey, I'm just *sayin'* wink - when you do, then, really stop and think about not just what was so obviously at stake there, but also what had to be hands-on risked like that and just what a sheerly impossible thing it was to begin with, taking some mile-long (or thereabouts) ship that was never meant to actually land in the first place, and actually bringing it in, hard, for a pretty masterful, if somewhat metal-grinding, crash-landing in the end....
But, yes, actually still managing well enough to bring it down in pretty much one piece, that's just a heckuva thing, too, it seems to me....and of course given the dynamics of the sitch just then, the fact that maybe it wasn't exactly ideal (though honestly, now, is there *ever* an especially good or ideal time to crash-land an on-fire wreck of a ship that's breaking itself to pieces all around you? Other than doing so *very* quickly, I mean.... wink *impish chuckle*) but still, well, just *look* at what he was so ably and adeptly, skillfully able to pull off there, as though it was but a bit o' piloting and challenging flying just the same as anything else he'd ever done, too, like at the very heart o' the matter....intrinsically the same, then, and definitely calling on the same swift and unerring, easy instincts and the very same skill sets....just, alright, it was maybe a wee bit more literally life-and-death and hair-raising this time than the usual....
The stakes, yes, perhaps were a little bit higher, but the principle of the thing was the same as ever, I figure. happy And, mmmmmm, yes, for sure and certain just all on its own this really *does* count as quite the definitely rare and noteworthy accomplishment, the clear mark of a Hero that he could pull off something like this and save the day, and then walk away from it just *completely* fine and the very same as ever and without so much as the merest tiny scratch on 'im, as though really for all the danger and the risk of a catastrophic and shocking, sky-smearing death and the formidably overwhelming challenge involved, it still didn't seem to much faze him and he had his usual sense of aplomb and ease and in-control, I-*knew*-that-would-work, told-ya-so confidence and self-assurance over the whole thing, and in essence maybe it did amount to little more than, well, just another proverbial day at the office for him, as 'twere, just another day's work really....
Albeit, yes, certainly a day quite unlike just *any* other, 'tis true. wink And, oh, also, I *do* figure that it was something pretty well guaranteed to grant him some serious galactic renown if ever anything would, then, I daresay - a feat and an act of sheer naked nerve and abandon and wild daring like this.... Not, of course, that such is ever exactly the reason he does what he does, and how he does it to boot - I mean, okay, for all that it obviously isn't his motivation or impetus anyway....fame and renown and having his name in proverbial lights, then, most definitely not the whole point for him by any means, it's not at all his own personal reason why or how....it may be more like a side benefit than anything else, I suppose, that he's known and admired and held in such esteem and high regard, and obviously greatly admired and justifiably, rightfully lauded as a true Hero and no mistake....

It happens, then, it's just how things go when he's involved, by dint of, you know, his sheer specialness and all that, it clearly makes him someone to follow, to pay attention to anyway.... Yet at the same time though, it also doesn't have to be his reason how or why for being just as he is, and doing the purely and boldly, nervily Heroic things that he does.... All *that*, then, really does come from within pure and simple....everything else, I figure, all the renown and acclaim and keen attention, it's basically just secondary. Nice, and without a doubt hugely flattering and a great and needed boost to one's confidence and surety, but still just a secondary thing regardless....very much a side benefit, then, a nice little perk, you could say, which comes with the job and the boldly-emblazoned territory of being such a Hero....I guess it can *help*, then, if anything, even though it's obviously not the reason how or why he does as he does, his way.

Doesn't make it any less flattering, though, even to him, I figure.... *chuckles* It's just that, well....maybe it admittedly *does* end up granting him a serious name for himself, this sort of thing - even more so, anyway....definitely something which I'm sure only adds to the lore and legend of Anakin Skywalker, at any rate....and which also ensures that he's known and admired and greatly adored far and wide, all across the galaxy and back again by really all the "common" everyday folk, all those just trying to live life their way, do their own thing as well and to just be happy in that....much the same as him, in fact, so maybe he only feels a more intrinsic connection or kinship with them for that....not like *they* ever shut themselves apart from everyone else or wall themselves up in some sort of gilt-edged ivory tower, if you catch my meaning wink ....these, then, it seems to me, are the folks he's actually fighting for and trying to help, striving to do right by....

These are the folks for whom he's the greatest Hero and obviously the one with the most intimate reach and personal appeal for them too, I should think.... And, oh, besides, he *did* come literally from among them anyway, he was the seemingly ordinary boy born into a life of drudgery, hardship and a general appalling and degrading lack of freedom in any case, and yet look, oh, just *look* at what he was ultimately able to accomplish with his life, all the very great and monumentally extraordinary things that he was able to make happen, to achieve for himself....a truly extraordinary soul from the most seemingly ordinary of beginnings, that's what he was, no question, yet even more to the point I suppose that it's also how and where he grew up, too, like the circumstances of his life for so long and that it was filled with much the same stresses, burdens and frustrations as everyone else's....

So of course that in turn, that intrinsic and very personal awareness, that firsthand life experience, actually really *would* equip him that much better for the Heroic task at hand, it really would make him all the better qualified, too, just to actually help and do right by those in a similar situation, those whose unfortunate lot in life was maybe a little overmuch like his had once been....he, after all, had already full well lived it, so e knew just where they were coming from and what they needed most....because he'd been there too, then, is the thing. He knew just what a Hero the people truly did need, which of course was just what he endeavoured so much and strived so hard to be anyway....because, after all, he'd been in much the same position himself, "once upon a time". Mmmmmmmmm, yep, very much the People's Hero he was, then, absolutely - he even "belonged" to them too, in a way....and I'm sure they never forgot it, and also only loved and admired and appreciated him even more for it. happy love


Dawn.
