	Well, as terrible as it sounds, the answer to that is, "No." Anakin's fate and Padmé's fate were sealed in May 1977, even if Lucas himself hadn't fully plotted things out back then. Things had to end up where they ended up. As for what Anakin does to Padmé, it was important to show the wages of choosing the Dark Side. He loses Padmé and it's because of the path Anakin chose. --MissPadme -----signature----- http://lazypadawan.livejournal.com The Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Society http://starwarsprequelappreciationsociety.wordpress.com/ I spent too much on collectibles!

But he wasn't emotionally strong enough to do the right thing, and the wages of sin are death (sorry I'm just on a Biblical kick or something ) he was already on the dark side and he believed when the emperor told him he killed padme(even though vader said he felt her alive) so what was the point of force choking padme? I'm not sure exactly what you mean....I don't really think there was a point to force choking Padme. I think he saw her with Obi-Wan, surmised they were both against him, and in his anger lashed out to teach her a lesson. I don't believe, however, that he choked her to kill her, just to silence what he perceived to be her "lying" excuses (kind of like a husband beating his wife). He could still feel that she was alive on the platform, and indeed the Polis Massan droids confirmed that there was nothing biologically wrong with her. -----signature----- Fics in profile; ask me to unlock ~I did nothing.

Dont know if even I knew what I meant..lol ,nah I just was wondering what the point of it was, but you made good points..to maybe show how far gone anakin was at that time that he would even "think" of hurting his true love..its devasting. -----signature----- Somebody save me...I don't care how you do it.

	Oooooohhhh, hey, now here's something, surely....the fact that it seems not long at all before Anakin, for one, is already swiftly and quite clearly sensing the close-by and unmistakable presence of Count Dooku, somewheres on the ship at any rate, right there on the Invisible Hand - how pretty much as soon as he sets foot on the ship himself, in other words, and he has the chance like that to just step back and get a good look around and take stock of where he was, what was happening and obviously what yet still lay in store for 'em.... That, then, was really all it took and just as much as he needed to know what was going on and in particular what he'd find here, right here on this ship and at lo-ong last to boot, waiting for him....and in a very real and meaningful way, too, perhaps waiting for him alone, at that. Because, heck, maybe in the end it would always come down to just him, all on his own, his own mettle and endurance, courage and fortitude and strength, his stubborn will and the resilience that seems like it's always carried him through well enough and unscathed, for that matter....that it would be by his own nerve and daring, just by dint of his own casually effortless talents and his mightily formable, flashy powers besides.... And, so, that it would be something he'd need to do himself, he'd have to accomplish it, strive for it and then triumph in it, by himself and of course because he himself was plenty well good enough anyway, naturally....and, also, for himself, too, it could surely be - something by him, for him, more than anyone else; it was here to challenge him, so it was what he would triumph over and win and dominate once and for all, and rather inarguably and decisively at that.... It would be by his own hand and intention, his own deadly will and fierce, Forceful desires, his own need to, as in this case, natch, also have some payback and some vengeance and some peace of mind in general, if only for his own sake above all others, I feel....if even just so he, at least, could rest easy, because far as I'm concerned the payback and the vengeance and all that, even the mere chance of it, you know, 'twould all be worth it....at least so long as it was something he could make happen, even by himself, for himself, for all the reasons I think he needed to do it....well, himself. And maybe this, too, was then one of those things which he sensed right from the start, what he knew was somewhere, here, waiting for him to confront it, crush it, overcome it, so maybe in turn it was meant for him alone to confront, dare and surpass.... He felt it, anyway, he knew it was coming and he was obviously the one tuned right into it and hypersensitively, acutely, live-wire energetically aware.... He was the one obviously paying enough attention, anyway, nothing was getting by him and his keen and searching, always-searching, intent and far-seeing and cleverly discerning eyes, his exquisitely fine-tuned and exactingly precise awareness of and easy-connection-and-intertwining with the Force, to be sure, and with all the gifts and easy advantages it granted him anyway, with how he was able to see things as others couldn't, to perceive them as others never would....he wasn't likely to be missing out on most anything, then, it seems to me....including, of course, this. And so, well, clearly with every highly-attuned and expectant and attentive fibre of his being, then, with each and every one of his hypersensitive and almost overactively aware senses, I'd imagine....maybe Anakin really couldn't help but sense it immediately and straightaways ere he landed on the same ship and took a single step, with even the merest keen and alert, far-sensing tilt of his head like that, and how his gaze subtly shifts as though he's making out something maybe no one else can see but to him at least it's clear enough, with his head was raised high and his gaze far-seeing intent and searching, searching, discerning, as though burning like a brand through everything that stood in his way, basically, all these dozens and dozens of decks and goodness only knows whatever else, too, however much of the ship itself actually stood between him and his sworn enemy ad blooded foe, the prize if you will.... Still, though, maybe on some level that was all stripped away in Anakin's vision, his attention, when he cared to look long and hard and far enough like that, I mean, when he certainly did seem focussed and and tensely, grimly, aha-I-have-you-now intent enough.... So that he perfectly well knew, could tell - all he had to do was look, and think about it, and let himself dwell darkly and grimly and with deadly intention on it, and basically let his mind even wander so far, anyway, to even just let himself think back on what had been done to him, what he'd been made to suffer at Dooku's hands and his blade, what he'd been forced to painfully and vividly sacrifice of himself, his own body....the grievous insult to his own personal honour, in other words, which I'm thinking couldn't very well go unanswered either - and, of course, I think surely also....what he obviously had every intention of repaying in kind, and as I know we mentioned once before - with interest, at that. Ahem. And maybe it was only a matter of time, then, maybe it was something inevitable - at least once he was actually standing there and could throw back his head and take a good, long, hard and critical, keen and cutting glance around, and cast out his senses and perceptions far and wide to irresistibly and unquestionably sense what he, at least, probably couldn't help but feel.... Heck, it'd be maybe under the circumstances and of course given what he'd personally been through, what he'd had to put up with directly, just what he was perhaps uniquely qualified to feel and pick up on right away, to basically home in on it without a second thought.... Because, after all, he did have the personal, direct, immediate, literally hands-on experience....because he'd been there, he knew ju-ust what it was like and that wasn't something he was bound to forget or set aside anytime soon, or ever - he was the one to suffer a stinging and maybe even bitterly humiliating defeat (!!!) like that.... So for good or ill, I mean, he had that....connection, if you will, he'd sensed it before, been around enough before to know how it felt....and how it made him feel, too....so maybe that made him attuned enough, acutely aware enough....to be able to pick up on what he had before, what he'd probably not be able to ignore even if he tried....what clearly did catch and hold and rivet his attention right from the start, what he just noticed right off the bat....like it or not. The fact, to be sure, that I'm thinking he perhaps was in the best position to feel it and be intensely and darklingly, tensely preoccupied by it, to basically dwell so long and hard on it that maybe he could barely even think of anything else, for after all....his own sworn enemy and blooded foe was here, right here and close enough already, waiting to be confronted, caught and brought down and royally thrashed, soundly beaten and in general done away with, once and for all and 'twas certainly high time for that anyway.... Enough waiting, then, enough hunting for him, he was here and the time was now, and maybe that was as much as Anakin needed to know and all the incentive, goading and temptation he'd ever ask for....the one who had hurt so many, the whole galaxy over, the one who most of all had hurt and humiliated and disdained him, the one who had stolen much from him....the enemy - because, well, let's face it, even though maybe they had only tangled just the once so far, that twas still was enough for them to be blooded deathly foes and sworn undying enemies where the next time they met and squared off toe-to-toe and blade-to-blade, only one of them would be walking away in one piece unscathed, and the other and way more unlucky one, the loser, would be in rather more pieces and actually wouldn't be walking away at all....at least, I'm thinking, that would be so if Anakin had anything to say about it, if it was indeed up to him, his deadly intention, razor-sharp focus and his yearning for payback.... At least, I'm thinking, that would be so if Anakin had anything to say about it, if it was indeed up to him, his deadly intention, razor-sharp focus and his yearning for payback.... If it was something he could make happen and he desired and needed enough, anyway....if he was the one devoted, dedicated, determined enough, deadly-focussed and intent enough to bend all his thought and will on it....to make it happen. And....he was, too, it seems to me....in being first to sense it, to feel it from afar, to know....at least, that's the definite distinct impression I'm left with here too.... Dawn. (and really, now, wasn't the outcome and thus Anakin's own victory and beautiful domination, and consequently Dooku's royal thrashing and sound, decisive beating and defeat, pretty much an obvious foregone conclusion anyway....from even those first split seconds onward, maybe just a matter of time, because in my mind at least it doesn't seem like there'd be much if any lingering doubt as to just what was going to happen there, you know, and thus how thoroughly and definitively Anakin was going to win, and beat him, and make him pay in kind for every blow, every sting, all of it. Pretty much a done deal, then, from even those first few moments where Anakin was the one to sense him from afar....it would have to happen, then, that Anakin would win and best him, and exact vengeance literally out of Dooku's blasted infernal hide, and also that the count would utterly lose....maybe it was pretty much decided even then, it was just up to Anakin to actually do it, take care of it.... hee ) -----signature----- Anakin Skywalker is shagadelic!

	anakinandpadmedoomed posted: Does anybody else get sad when they watch ROTS? Yup. Me. Every time when I watch it. But only after a half an hour into the movie, because then is when things get ugly, when Anakin starts falling deeper and deeper into Palpatine's web of lies, where he and Padme grow more distant from each other, when the Dark Side really starts working. ROTS is a tragic movie, with the elements of an ancient Greek tragedy and 18th century romantism in Europe. George did well by combining all that into a science fiction story, it's just that so many people (bashers) don't understand the beauty of it all. ROTS never ment to have a happy ending, we all knew that even before the movie entered production, but still, this makes me somehow even sader when I watch it. anakinandpadmedoomed posted: I wish george would of done a alternative ending..does that sound like a good or bad idea?i know this is an anakin thread so I will say..could george of made an alternative ending concerning anakin not force choking padme? that was harsh.and i think unneeded..he was already on the dark side and he believed when the emperor told him he killed padme(even though vader said he felt her alive) so what was the point of force choking padme? I'd definitely go and see that! But no, it's not a good idea, that I'm sure. It's the story, it never ment to have a happy ending, no matter what I would prefer to happen in the end. But as an alternative, I'd really want an Anakin and Padme novel. I mean, the deserve it! Just a tiny bit of happy time in their lives. How about that? If only I could write like dawn..she at least can get her thoughts down I agree. I wish I could do that so nicely as well. -----signature----- "There is still good in him."

I dont know what I was expecting out of ROTS I'm just feeling the impact of the unhappiness now..like a delayed reaction or something. I am glad GL didnt go with the novel of ROTS and had anakin choking her and throwing her.(i might of remembered that wrong..please correct if it is)that would of been bad enough..plus she was pregant!If thats true, I cant believe the author did that to A/P.but I go by the movie and not the novels thankfully..Im just saying Im glad GL didnt do that to her in the movie.

	Mmmmmm, ohhh, yes, what truth be told I do still very much so dearly and sincerely love and so greatly admire and just altogether adoringly appreciate about him, then - aside from, to be sure, simply eeeeeeverything and then some - like, of course, perhaps....mmmmmm, yes, just perhaps ....his undeniably and unquestionably and charismatically handsome and sweetly and endearing physicality, of course - just look how pretty, remember, at last as far as I can tell, and goodness only knows that I do muchly love looking anyway.... giggles slyly ....because, after all, he's such a thing of absolute beauty all unto himself that it seems only fair anyway, to thus be rather intimately and thoroughly, attentively and carefully appreciating....such a thing of charismatic and greatly appealing and utmost fine and fetching beauty anyway.... And honestly, now, don't the magnificent and athletically lean and limber and flexibly supple, rounded-limbed and silkily-skinned and firmly and Forcefully, demandingly and insistently-muscled, smooth and dextrous and fitly tight and unquestionably ruggedly handsome and brashly and untamed-warrior, unfettered and unleashed wild and primal, powerful Heroic and yet also the tender and sweetly vulnerable, earnest and hopeful and worshipfully devoted and adoringly eager-to-please courting-minded and endearingly, adorably lovelorn, sincere and desperate, soft and slender, lithe and bristling young smitten....things of beauty and so aesthetically appealing, natch, and of course him in particular, well....surely that's only just what they full well deserve anyway, and it does seem only fair at that, for the beautiful things in this world in general and certainly him especially, to be appreciated and loved for that, seen just that way....what else is there, anyway? Really, now.... And then, too, surely these the wonderfully winning ways and just the very real beauty and the obvious appeal of him on the outside then, for instance, surely does only seem to echo and basically speak well enough for....the beauty and the charm, the winning qualities and the grace, the charisma and the attitude and the greatness, the goodness and the handsome appealing Heroicness of what's on the inside, then....his spirit, his personality, his self.... Like in terms of his tender and unfailingly compassionate, devoted and fiercely, unstintingly and uncompromisingly and absolutely, to-death-and-even-far-beyond-it, truly-and-deeply-come-whatever-may loyal and adoring and vividly, demonstratively passionate heart, anyway, and his purely and wonderfully fragile and vulnerable yet resilient and greatly enduring and burning-high-and-brighter-still soul, too, for that matter.... And of course, oh, certainly also all that he's full well capable of anyway, all the very great and tremendous things he can in fact do in the galaxy, all the good he's actually meant and made and nurtured for.... The courage and the loving and the desperate, needy, impulsive, heated and very human passions and hopes, desires and very fondest, nearest and dearest dreams and yearnings which are, after all, very much what he's all about and thus something he also doesn't much tend to hide or shy away from or otherwise try to mask it in any way, you know, this is clearly just what goes into the making and the molding and the deft and skillful, handsome and Heroic shaping of him, it's just what's an essential part of his makeup then, is the thing.... And so just as it's something which is very much there within him, then, something charming and so appealing and uniquely and brazenly and unabashedly human and vulnerable, rawly and personally intimate, too.... Well, then, surely so too does it - in all the impulsiveness and sometimes-wildness and forceful demanding and the carefree abandon and the intrinsic humanity - seem surely reflected well enough in the beauty of what's without, in him.... It's in, after all, his quite fetching physicality and his charming and exquisitely, simply magnificently fine and debonair and flourishing looks and appearance, in the dashing and insousciant, effortless sheer softly and silkily, lushly and rosily plush-and-full-lipped and ever tumultuously shifting and vividly, liquidly and emotionally expressive, darkly, seductively seething, mirthfully and irrepressibly playful, impish and wonderfully, beckoningly mischief-eyed and smoothly and softly, quite stunningly sculpted and fitly, athletically and tautly, nimbly and precisely, sharply and ably-honed and trim bristling and surging-strong young frame, all.... And his general striking and grand and altogether purrfectly pleasant head-up chin-tilted shoulders-back and broad, smooth-planed and subtly-rounded and tautly, ripplingly-toned chest proud-and-room-owning, attention-commanding attitude and bearing, the way in which he stands and strides about and generally seems to carry himself anyway.... What's very much within him, then, I'd imagine just plain and encouraging and such a joy and real relief enough to see....conveyed so openly and honestly, nakedly and bravely, charmingly and audaciously, unashamedly so, too....worn plainly and proudly and held, brandished out there for all to see, so that to look at him....surely everyone would know it well enough, the heart and soul, the humanity and the self of the man and the Hero and the friend, loyal warrior, brave and great and true comrade and devoted and enduring lover....all that's on his mind and swims so vibrantly and passionately and nakedly-on-display, plain-enough-to-see in his heart like that.... Whatever he might be so strong-willed and stubbornly, obdurately thinking or what feelings, impulses, passions, desires, all, for that matter might be simmering in him, seething, burning bright and vibrant, lively and fierce and undimmed still, and thus whatever he's just so boldly and refreshingly open and honest, expressive and forthright about anyway....because, to be sure, he was surely lookin' it all along anyway, and of course quite adorably and roguishly, daringly and charmingly, almost tentatively and sweetly, shyly earnest and yet every bit also rugged and dashing and fiercely demanding, taut and tensely powerful and forcefully, yearningly, smolderingly impassioned....handsome and fetching, sculpted gorgeous outside, then, equally as much as tender and intimate and vulnerably, brash and bold and daring, reckless and feckful inside....just, I daresay, like this. Dawn. -----signature----- Anakin Skywalker is shagadelic!

	extremely traumatized expression, looking utterly inconsolable Oh merciful Force, I don't believe this, I simply can't wrap my head around the fact that this has happened, literally just now, mere moments ago in fact....and I'm still pretty badly shaken by it, I can't even think straight just now for how dreadfully I feel over it, I'm just fretting something awful all over the place here, let me tell you....hence, yes, the clearly traumatized and shell-shocked expression, and just now under the circumstances I'm not quite sure whether to scream in sheerest futile frustration, or break down crying and wailing in utter horror and dismay....maybe some combination thereof, though, come to think of it. Honestly, though, this is just....really, it's like The single worst and most appalling and unfathomably nightmarish thing that could ever have happened, far as I'm concerned....by my own personal reckoning, anyway, it really does seem simply too, too terribly much to bear....rather a nightmare, actually. So-o, then, what's happened and what I'm basically pretty badly reeling over, this has really rattled me and now for the very life of me I can't imagine what to do, but the more I dwell and darkly and grimly, inconsolably brood over it, the more inexorably I think I know what it'll likely come to, what I'll end up having to do....never thought I'd be in this particular position, though, I never even remotely dreamed of it, and who knows but what that's just killing me the most here.... This, then, is quite simply the thing....pretty much just now, and for what I suspect was likely the dozenth time at least, I was endeavouring to figure out how to put together, once and for all, my gorgeous and desperately precious Kotobukiya Anakin statue....which I'd picked up shortly before CIV, on the way down in fact, and of course ever since then I'd been rather wracking my brain in trying to suss out how it all went together.... Of course it seems like it should be fairly straightforward, at any rate, it just snaps together....or is apparently meant to, by all accounts, though I must say I'd been having a devil of a time trying to make it do just that, and it was proving a bit, um....problematic, let's say....hence the fact that I'd not yet been able to wangle it, I wasn't sure if there was something more or some other method I should perchance be trying....perhaps a bit of a trick to make it work and fit together right - I had wondered if that might be possible, though, considering the fact that apparently I wasn't the first one by any means to have these curious and trying difficulties with the Kotobukiya Anakin....I hadn't yet discerned what more others might've done to figure it out, more than what I was already diligently attempting, at any rate, so as a result I'd not yet had the chance to really sit down at length and try to snap it all together, make it fit, one vexatious little piece at a time. Admittedly, now, that certainly wasn't for any lack of desperately and wistfully wishing that I could just put the blahsted thing together and then have it in its fair and deserved place of pride and honour, at any rate, to thus all the better show it off....especially since it was, of course, likely high time and then some I was finally able to do that....I mean, honestly, how much more should it reasonably be expected to take, right? Surely there are limits.... rueful, now slightly pained, halfhearted chuckle Still, though, yes, in any case....all this time I had been very much looking forward and thus earnestly hoping for the chance to put it together, for good, because so long as it wasn't....well, now, suffice it to say that did tend to prey on me more than a wee bit, and thus I was sure I likely wouldn't feel quite right, that things wouldn't be perhaps truly complete, until the Kotobukiya Anakin, too, stood tall and proud and on full display with all the others. I did, indeed, certainly full well mean to, anyway....and so that, then, was actually very much on my mind just now as I was rearranging things a wee bit, setting the lightsaber out on display and all, and I suppose that's when my gaze happened to fall once more on the errant and rogue Kotbukiya Anakin, still in his various pieces and fairly demanding, with his usual vehemence and fiery, temperamental persistence, by the way, to be put together and thus out there, plain to see and be seen, with all the others of his grrrrrring nd purrrring Anakinly bretheren....truly, it does seem only fair and warranted, anyway....and so I decided to give it another shot, figured it couldn't hurt, anyway....although, yes....had I but known, indeed.... And so, well, there I was, diligently and valiantly trying to snap-fit it all together, piece by careful piece....I almost thought I had it at one point, when I was attempting to snap-fit him into the lava base, but it was proving a bit.... Well, the thing is, I couldn't quite figure out how to make it work, but I wasn't sure if it was perhaps something like the gorgeously toothsome CW Anakin maquette statue, which by the way has been put together for quite some time now and he, at least, is standing tall and proud and fist-raised defiant here on the top shelf of my desk, pretty much right in my eyeline in fact....if wonderfully, deliciously distractingly so, mind you. But, yes, I had actually found that one, too, a bit....potentially problematic, in making him go into the display base, and actually I was sweating over that one a wee bit until I gingerly, carefully, with-fingers-crossed, emphatically-praying-all-the-while slid him into the base, safe and sound. I had wondered if 'twas perhaps a narrow thing, though, even then.... So-o, then, I suppose keeping that well enough in mind, I had wondered if it'd be like that with the Kotobukiya Anakin as well, and thus that I'd have to....well, gingerly "work" it a bit, albeit with care. And, actually, truth be told I did think I was doing just that, because in absolutely no way, shape or form was I at all trying to force it, to be at all hard or rough with it, goodness gracious me, no-!....I was just trying to see how it would all fit together, in other words, I was endeavouring to make it work....when....catastrophe. Sheer, utter, unabated, absolute, cataclysmic trauma and horror, and I don't know as I'll ever get over it. Because, as I was trying my very best, there....for whatever reason, the statue slipped out of my hands, or the snap-fit pieces weren't all the way in there, and so they came apart, and down the statue came....onto the floor....and at first I didn't think it was at all a rough impact, it wasn't from that high up, honestly....until....I realized there was one more piece lying loose than there should be. Because....and I can scarcely even type this without wincing, it pains me something dreadful actually.... And, oh, what's more, I think there's also this dreadful hideous sick feeling right in the very pit of my stomach, too, like my insides have just been knotted up something horrendous and it feels even worse the more I think about it, dwell over it, too....because it's just....well, it's not only that the snap-fit pieces themselves came out of the sockets, I mean, That's certainly no problem in and of itself....but, actually, it's rather far more that....and how, how can I even be saying these words?!.... distressed look ....his leg broke. The left leg, right at shin-level basically, the very top of the boot....my beautiful, gorgeous, precious beyond measure, treasured and adored and so-long-lusted-after-and-hoped-for Kotobukiya Anakin statue....is broken. Obviously totally unintentionally, to be sure, and of course that's only making it all the more traumatic and unbearable, I suspect, because oh - what a stupid, stupid and senseless, tragic and terrible thing to have happen-!.... But - it has, then, is the thing....it's happened....I did it....I broke my Kotobukiya Anakin, my precious Anakinly treasure, his leg is broken....and I swear I'm probably this close to bursting into tears over it just now, truth be told. For it really does seem something horrendously and hideously, nightmarishly unbearable, far as I'm concerned, it really is like the single worst possible thing that could ever happen....for something to go so appallingly amiss with even one of my purrfectly divine and deliciously treasured, desperately savoured Anakinly treasures and finds, then, for these are the things I obviously love the most, by far and away, and certainly especially when it comes to some of them - like the Kotobukiya now, I fear - well, they really aren't so easy or straightforward to fix or replace, then, I can only presume....not like I can just gallivant on down to the local comics/games shop and pick up another one, because they don't carry them here....apparently. At least, I can only presume that's the case, anyway, because in all likelihood one just won't find the truly, deeply good stuff like that 'round hereabouts....hence, the fact that I either have to look and shop online, or look somewheres else altogether, because apparently there are other shops elsewhere....and, actually, I picked up my treasured Kotobukiya in this delightful quirky comics shop in Oregon, can't remember exactly where just at the moment, given how frazzled and traumatized I am, considering....but, yes, certainly I can vouch for the fact that other shops have stocked the finds like this, it's just that up around this-a-ways....I don't think they do, so much. And certainly that's always left me a bit....limited before, options-wise, I suspect....but now, oh, now, I....I don't even know....it's just....what am I going to do?! Wait, let me guess, there's really nothing I can do....there's probably nothing else for it, I fear, I know where this horrible accident will leave me.... Specifically, then....I fear that it basically leaves me with only the one forseeable outcome, and it's of course precisely the one thing I never, no, never thought I'd have to do, I just never even remotely considered it....never thought I'd have to, because honestly, now - how supposedly "likely" would it ever be....for something like this to happen, for a dreadful nightmare accident like this....well, to befall me, then, and thus my most treasured Anakinly possessions, then, is all....it just....seems nigh-well unfathomably impossible, actually. And I suspect I'm still on some level hoping that I'll pinch myself and wake up, and this will all have been one heckuva bad dream, but it won't be real in any case....because it's just....too, too horrifically much to consider, it's too much, too painful to even remotely think about....it just - hurts, then, is all. Like being sucker-punched, having the wind knocked out of one....and just now, I'd far prefer that....to this. Dawn.

	anakinandpadmedoomed posted: that's terrible ,I hope you can find another one or something just as good. still feeling mightily ill-at-ease and pretty well discontent over the whole thing appropriately dismayed expression Ohhhhhh, honestly, truth be told, I'm not quite sure just yet exactly what I should be doing, what particular route I should be trying to take to resolve this....maybe I could try glueing it back together, but just off the top o' my head here I've really no idea whatsoever as to what kind of glue one would even use for these purposes....to make my Kotobukiya Anakin whole, and hale and well again, because of course so long as - he's actually not, then, so long as I basically just have to sit here and gnash my teeth and futilely tear at my hair, and generally rant and rage at the heavens, and bemoan and wail over this utterly appalling and mightily nasty liitle turn of unceremonious bad luck, then....basically, yes, I daresay that just so long as I'm left to sit here and brood over it, and I mean it's really not helping my mood any....the worse, of course, I think it makes me feel. Heck, as it is just now, truth be told it seems like I can't even bear to look at it because that'll just serve as some pretty potent and damning visual reminder, you know, it'll really be something inescapable then, the fact that....this beautiful and treasured piece - and I know, I do, that if indeed it came to this, fingers and toes duly crossed in hope I'm sure I could pick up another one....dreadful shame it may end up havin' to come to that, to be sure, I never would've expected anything like that, but honestly....it's likely either that or, I don't know, somehow try to glue it back together myself, and considering how clueless I apparently am about how one would even go about trying that, the type of glue involved or whatever else....I'd honestly be wondering, then, just how feasible it actually would be, yet it's either that or shell out for a new Koto Anakin....and tacitly, grimly, I'm guessing I may have to resign myself to that after all. Mmmmmmm, yes, who'd have thunk it, I know.... pained, tired look But, ye-es, in any case then, it actually does seem just now, strange as I'm sure it might sound to most anyone else, that is....yet I strongly suspect you'll likely understand, that you'll know well enough where I'm coming from with this, and thus just how and why it is, too, that I think I am taking it mightily hard....because it does actually hurt something fierce to know that this has happened, that maybe I was being careless with it (!!!) or it was just because the blasted Kotobukiya Anakin has this apparent reputation for being a bit problematic anyway (and ohhhh, now, Anakin my love, you know I surely do like the especial and appropriately stimulating challenges you present me with, but this....was something else entirely, I must say!) - and I knew that goin' into it, is the thing, that's why I was endeavouring to be so careful and attentive, so thorough with it....that's indeed why in my wildest and worst dreams, I never, never would've seen something like this coming. I mean, honestly, if I'd thought for even a single, fleeting split second that anything like this was even remotely possible, that it could in fact be theoretically broken by something so (seemingly) simple and straightforward as just trying to put the darn thing together....if I'd any clue that this was even the slightest, tiniest risk, in other words....basically, then, yes, clearly if I knew then what I from painful, disheartening and utterly dismaying personal experience know now.... And it's just....look, I don't know as I necessarily blame the Koto folks in any way, shape or form for this, even though it clearly wasn't helping matters any, the supposedly snap-together statue being so totally vexatious to successfully put together in the first place....they could've done a better job with it there, clearly, from what I've heard....still, though, that being the case, I - I just don't know as I'd want to be blaming them, because heck, they did do such a wonderful job with the figure anyway.... Irrespective of anything else just now, I mean, it still seems pretty safe to say that....well, at least insofar as the sculpt itself is concerned, like with the obvious high level of intricate detail with the costume and the face and all, it's always seemed to me that they did a mighty fine and commendable job with it at least insofar as that aspect of it is concerned....so I simply feel that they surely can't be faul
