Luke: This droid says he’s yours.
Obi-Wan, out of pure habit and instinct: I have never seen this droid before my life and I cannot be held responsible for anything it has done
i love writing luke’s tendency to be a feral little man like Yes he’s the savior of the galaxy Yes he’s a pure hearted beam of sunshine BUT he came from a hick town in the Outer Rim with nothing to do but hang out in bars and use ROUSes as target practice AND he shares DNA with anakin skywalker so he can drink Han under the table and thinks traffic laws are a joke send tweet
As amusing as it is to me that Anakin goes stalking around the Temple in the darkest colors (because we all need to know about how Tortured his soul is,) given that Anakin also hates actually talking through his issues, what if he’d gone the other direction and worn like, the loudest, brightest, happy-go-lucky-est ensembles ever, because LOOK EVERYBODY I’M FINE IT’S FINE EVERYTHING’S FINE JUST LOOK AT MY FUN AND FANCY FREE CLOTHES, NOPE NO DARK SIDE TEMPTATIONS HERE.
Obi-Wan: [getting ready to leave for Utapau] Anyways I’m off to take care of Grievous and – I’m sorry, Anakin, but what are you wearing? Anakin: [head to toe in pink sequins, a light-up flower crown on his head] What do you mean? Obi-Wan: …is everything all right, Anakin? Anakin: [laughing nervously] Wh-what? Yes, of course everything’s fine. Would, would a man about to betray the Order and go on a murder spree be dressed like this?! Obi-Wan: [concerned] Excuse me?! [feeling his forehead] When was the last time you slept? Anakin: Ha! I’ve been sleeping, obviously, it’s, it’s not like I’m wearing a ton of concealer under my eyes, or that that’s why I’m wearing these ridiculous oversized sunglasses indoors! [shoving him onto the ship] Anyways Obi-Wan, have a safe trip, I will definitely be totally fine when you get back. Obi-Wan: [staring skeptically out the window of his ship, yelling through the glass] We’re going to discuss this when I return, Anakin! Anakin: [pretending he can barely hear him] Hmm? What’s that Obi-Wan? Oh, sure, I’ll water your plants for you! Don’t worry; I am absolutely definitely totally fine! Bye now!
(Anakin and Padme would have some interesting shopping trips at least, that’s for sure.)
It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.
HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.
They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.
They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).
Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.
The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.
Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.
The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

As a second generation immigrant this comic means so much to me. Community is so important! I love the idea of a local hero and I hope to see Tai Pham more often from now on!
