Anakin Solo had the hots for his aunt?

Ewwwwww.....

This is going on the list of VDTs (Very Disturbing Threads)

 

Sorry, it is kinda gross.

At least Anakin didn't fall to Alema Slut...er, I mean, Rar. I've honestly found her to be the most disgusting character in Star Wars.

 

She jumps at anything that moves!

It's even more disturbing when you recall how Alema propositioned Lando in the 'Enemy Lines' duology...

 

Would've thought a Hutt would get that award...

 

I've never seen a Hutt try to seduce Lando. Besides, their gross in a funny way. She's just sick.

 

I'll agree that she's got major problems, but I don't know about Hutts. Since they're hermaphrodites, and some of them are apparently attracted to humanoids, they could really get out of hand if the rules were relaxed more than they are now.

 

I knew this thread would soon turn to Hutt sex!

 

Stop it! You're scaring the larvae!

 

Mando: Poor Luke.

Nahh, Luke is actually pretty sorted... that's what makes him who he is; that uncorruptable innocence and goodness...

V_H: *reads first page of thread*

I'm so glad I already ate my lunch....



JK88: Anakin did NOT have the hots for his aunt- remember that little blonde thing named Tahiri?

Um, yeah... I remember that Anakin forgot her birthday completely at around the time of Balance Point...

JK: should you be worried that you keep coming up with the same answers I'd give?

At least Anakin didn't fall to Alema Slut...er, I mean, Rar. I've honestly found her to be the most disgusting character in Star Wars.

Alema is hillarious.

And, um, we know that Anakin "helped her through some difficult times"...

But on the subject of Hutts and questions of gender... Shameless Plug for Idle Fanfic...

I followed your link, McEwok...

I've gotta say, you certainly are original

 

I think "naivety" would be a better word.

 

I don't think so. Luke was naive, but he grew out of it. He's only trying to be innocent now. I much prefer him as a Force-using buttkicker, but I guess that's Kyle Katarn's niche.

Now Padme was naive, way too naive for her own good.


Edit: This reminds me, must add Hutts to list of non-mammal species with breast-like features...

 

I meant naive about how much he could trust Mara to honor her marriage vows.

 

now is this true or is this a fan based theory....????
because i never heard of it before, but someone said it was in star by star...

 

Total fan theory. Most likely not true, and almost certainly not intended. Just another example of how things can be twisted around to mean just about anything.

 

JK88: I've gotta say, you certainly are original

Really? I thought it was pretty derivative, just maybe a little differently phrased...

R_F: Now Padme was naive, way too naive for her own good.

Y'think? That can be a strength, though...

M_C: I meant naive about how much he could trust Mara to honor her marriage vows.

But, can he trust her to let him love her without condition or restraint?

I'd say yes, and I'd say that's what matters...

J_AS: now is this true or is this a fan based theory....????
because i never heard of it before, but someone said it was in star by star...

It's a fan-theory, yes...

But (with the caveat that it's very, very, unlikely that this was what the author intended), close reading of a couple of scenes in Balance Point undermines the superficial meaning that we would take from a skim-reading. Both arguments are developed more fully further up the thread, but briefly:

• When Mara initially discovers Ben through the Force, her initial perception (and thus the reader's) is "It was Luke's"; the cellular biology of early pregnancy suggests, however, that what she sees as "Luke's" is in fact the baby's unique life-signature, only partially Farmboy-derived - raising the question of why this misleading and inaccurate perception, with all that it implies for assumptions about paternity, is allowed to shape our POVs.


• When Mara is in disguise on Duro, she reflects that she had "wanted" to accessorize the costume with a young servant; this suggests that she had hoped to cast Anakin as her Kuati sex-slave - and strict reading of the grammar of the scene where she's setting off suggests (among other things) that the "he" with whom she shares a moment of silent eye contact must be Anakin, rather than Luke: thus an at least quasi-sexual Mara/Anakin relationship is implied, carefully hidden by Mara's mental discipline and the fact we see very little of Anakin's POV.

Remember, it is a fan hypothesis - but make your own mind up...?

*stumbles into thread*

*reads McEwok's last post*

Oh God. The madness continues!



Though after reading selected scenes in TJK. I have to say some evidence points in your direction.

*shudders* Gross.

 

To me this makes perfect sense in Jungian or Freudian terms. If one were to examine the story of Odepidus in Greek Mythology, in which a son kills his father in order to become his mother's lover (but, this can be viewed as the son's wish to be enlightened to a greater state of consciousness and be reborn.), there are clearly some parallels with Anakin Solo and Mara Jade. What you have to realize is, we are talking about expressions and archetypes and how they relate to primordial messages that span across cultures.

Anakin can be viewed as perhaps as an eternal child to be "born again," because he dies, but becomes one with the force (or the soul energy). He then perhaps "kills" Luke, but not literally, by severing his bloodline. Anakin is of course not blood-related to Mara Jade.

 

What?

 

This whole thread is great. I love everything in it.
I'd been thinking of this since I read the NJO Stackpole books and haven't even read Balance Point. This could give me reason to go back and read the NJO.

 

You know what diminishes all the characters?

The glorification of Mara that takes place all throughout the NJO. Tyers was just the most blatant about it.

BP was a disgusting Mary Sue fic in which Mara, the most beautiful woman in the world, is irresistible to every male character -- including her nephew. Mara also ogles him and thinks about him in a sexual way. It's absolutely revolting.

Kathy Tyers should be barred from writing any more SW books. IMO she can content herself with writing Luke/Mara fanfic in which the incomparably beautiful Mara is Queen of the Galaxy, her and Luke do nothing but boink, and Leia is humiliated, tortured, and insulted, and even her own children hate her and worship Mara.

Wait a minute...I just described BP.

 

I get the feeling that you don't like Mara Jade.

I also get the feeling you have quite an unhealthy obsession with a fictional character.

Really now, if you would just calm down, maybe you could be having fun like everyone else in this thread.

 

If this theory is a possibility, then I submit the possibility that Obi-Wan is actually Leia's father and NOT Anakin's.

It was quite clear that Obi-Wan was very close to Padme.

Oh, and if you're thinking it's impossible to have two kids at the same time by two different men. It's happened in real life.

I think it would nicely explain why Leia hasn't grown as strong in the Force as her brother, not to mention the seemingly natural British accent Leia had in ANH.

 

I'll never look at Anakin in the same way again......dun dun duuuuunnnnnnn! Next time on As The Galaxy Turns.......The child of canon improbability rears its head!

I?ll still be renting the NJO from the library though, just because of all the interesting arguments that arise from it existing in the first place.

 

Hey, I'm calm. Mara just makes for such an easy target.

Interesting theory. I've heard other theories that Bail really is her father.

Indeed it has.

She's a full-fledged Jedi by the end of the Bantam era, even though the NJO chose to ignore that. And she is strong in the Force. She acts more like a Jedi master than Mara or Kyp do.

Here's an explanation, from Leia's portrayer:

Before making the "Star Wars" movies, I had acquired a floating British accent ? from attending the Central School of Speech and Drama in London ? along with an enormous amount of lip gloss. (I believe the two were related.)
