Don’t be Anakin. Be Samwise Gamgee.

I’m fairly certain no one *wants* to be Anakin; Anakin didn’t want to be Anakin. Anakin was a perfect representation of the autistic savant, naturally gifted and treated like an oddity at best, like a threat at worst. The institutions that fostered him openly resented him and his abilities, yet still demanded he serve as a tool for their ends. His literal prophesied purpose was to destroy the Jedi and Sith, because both were corrupted heresies of the Force. If you don’t want the Anakins of our world becoming Darth Vader, the easiest way to do that is to stop being the Jedi Order that facilitated his fall.

Hell yes be like Anakin.

I don't think you understand what we are saying to you. Not every generation gets a happy ending.

💯 Get ready for people to freak out. 🤣

Yes.

They don't want to be Anakin. They are saying they are despite wanting to be Sam (having a job They want to be Sam, but for many of them you are telling them to be Sam in a Shire that's been ruined by Sharkey.

Are you suggesting that Sam did not experience difficulty?

@aaronogre He has a wife and a (for his knowledge) happy home to go home to.

@Andrewnsnyder @aaronogre He just... what, always had a wife and went home every day?

@apophis40k @Andrewnsnyder He had a culture and place that cared about him and wanted him to settle into a productive and fruitful life. Anakin had no place and s culture that exploited him. This is literally the whole point.

@Washingtonsbird @apophis40k @Andrewnsnyder When the goblins try to illegal enter the shire they drove them out.

@Washingtonsbird @apophis40k @Andrewnsnyder Yep, not insist they were just as much Shirelings as the hobbits.

And be like Aragorn and take up that sword you keep making excuses to not take up.

Our garden as already denied to us. The orcs invaded our shire. We cannot be samwise gamgee.

And if there's no Shire to return to?

This is the way

Samwise Gamgee and the other hobbits murdered foreign invaders in the Shire at the end of ROTK. These were not Orcs, but men and hobbit traitors. So going to have to agree with you mate.

1. You let the Left butcher our heroes. 2. Anakin’s journey mirrors that of today’s young man more than Gamgee’s or other “based” characters. 3. If you watch Star Wars beyond the OG Trilogy, it’s apparent that the Rebels and Jedi were not as saintly as originally depicted and the Empire/Sith not as wicked either.

You all imported Orcs into the shire

I can’t carry the ring Mr Anikin, but I can carry you!

Sam was one of the war heroes who protected the borders from invading orcs. He later married a white, blue-eyed woman, having ensured that his people would live in peace, with no black or brown orcs ever setting foot on their lands again. Yes. Be like Samwise Gamgee.

@CitizenAmedia Zoomers didn’t have a shire, because boomers flooded it with immigrants. They can’t relate to Sam, but they can relate to Anakin.

The prospect of a wife and children at the end of a harrowing journey and a scourging of your homeland does sound quite a bit more attractive than becoming a cyborg. ... Cyborgs are cool mind you.

Already turned to the dark side on my current kotor run

No thanks. Sam and Frodo are clearly gay.

The previous generation already sold The Shire and Gondor out to the forces of Mordor, while they tell you to be better.

Be the Anakin at the end of episode VI.

THIS is what Tolkien would have wanted. not aragorn, frodo or elrond but Sam.a man not tied to destiny or birthright but a good man with a stout heart

Don’t be George Lucas and portray light as darkness and darkness as light. Anakin is his version of Christianity and conservatism.

Sam was saving the shire. You already fucked the shire

Anakin saved an entire galaxy....not just Middle earth....

Think I pick Aragorn.

They're not mutually exclusive. You're all taking the Anakin posting waaay too literally. To me it's about being held back and held down by a legacy system of aging virtue and a stagnated bureaucratic quagmire. All while knowing you're meant for and capable of more. And that dissent is the only way forward.

As I've said, were going to rewrite it a bit.

Anakin Skywalker speaks to us more than Samwise could ever! Anakin Skywalker will always be than Samwise to Gen Z Men!

We want the people of the shire to remain as they are at the beginning and end of the movie. We’ll be Sam, indeed.

A district court judge said we couldn’t do that. 🤷

Yeah right if my homie hops out of my girls whip like this I'm fucking beheading him

Nobody want to be Anakin they feel like they are Anakin. To be Samwise you would need a shire to to get home to.

No i wont carry the corrupt system that has defaced me and my people and pointed us towards absolute chaos. There is no ring to throw in lava. There is only the ashes of a civilization your foolishness brought us. Democracy is over.
