Summary
“I have to go away now,” he says. His voice still sounds like a robot’s voice, but it’s not deep like before. Despite the flatness to it, it’s got a melancholy lilt. It sounds like heartbreak.
Vader kneels and lays a gloved hand on Luke’s face, then Leia’s. There’s a garbled sound, almost like sniffling. “I… do not know when I will return.”
“He’s only here to say goodbye, ” Mom chimes in. Her arms are crossed, her eyes weary, her mouth frowning like always. Luke knows his Mom is not terribly old, but he cannot imagine her ever looking young, either.
---
Freshly fitted with a new suit, Vader tries to make amends. As he works to rebuild cities, his family works to rebuild themselves.

Summary
While enjoying a sunlit afternoon in the lake country meadow, Padmé lets slip that her romantic past includes a handful of dates across the years she and Anakin were apart.
Naturally, this does not go down well with her possessively adoring husband.
Or: Padmé enjoys driving Anakin mad. Meanwhile Anakin Skywalker remains deeply dramatic and somewhere between the teasing, jealousy, and laughter, Padmé remembers the joy of being deeply, thoroughly seen and known by the person she loves most in the galaxy.

Summary
Despite the two being the exact same character, merely portrayed in different stages of his life, one is widely lauded in the pop cultural consciousness and the other is derided for being "disappointing" and "badly written". Through the lens of different masculinities, the current essay aims to examine how the contrasting depictions of Anakin Skywalker in the Prequel and Original Trilogies could have garnered such an extreme reaction to the reveal of the backstory of one of the most famous villains from 20th century pop culture, as well as how the animated interquel Star Wars: The Clone Wars responded to such criticisms and to what effect.
Originally titled: On the characterization and fandom reception of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars in relation to differing masculinities.
