^{star wars meme: nine quotes (6/9)}

Do you ever think about how Padme and Bail and Mon watched their entire world end, watched everything they’d ever worked for and fought for dissolve in front of them, watched the one group that was supposed to have the power to stop their enemy fold in on itself and die, and went “fuck that” and created an underground insurgency that restored their republic within a generation?

Do you ever think about the fact that they were senators. Fucking flatscan nobody politicians, the rich and pampered voice of the rich and pampered core worlds, and okay Padme is the best with a blaster of literally any character in the entire film franchise but Palpatine is the most powerful and brilliant fucking Sith since Bane she is out of her league. But they didn’t hesitate for a second? Like, Evil won and they still kept fighting?

Do you ever think about how, when the Empire finally fell, Mon Mothma would have stood there watching the fireworks, and wishing her friends were with her to see that none of it was in vain? That in the end, those scrappy little nobodies beat the Sith Lord after all?
