Status Updates From William Shakespeare's Trage...

Me thinking this was gonna be a funny meme book and genuinely getting hit with new insight and prose tk express the characters inner workings that genuinely feel new and fresh

“‘Tis finish’d, Anakin, the triumph’s mine.
Here I do claim the high ground, yea, and all
The keen advantages it offereth…
Thou wert the chosen one, who should destroy
The Sith, not join their frightful company.
Thou shouldst have brought new balance to the Force,
Not leave it underneath a veil of dark.
Thou wert to me a brother, Anakin
I lov’d thee so, shall sadly mourn thy death.”
😭😭😭

“Good Master Skywalker, we are feared,
There are too many foes abroad tonight.
What shall we do, my Master? Prithee, speak!”
😭😭😭

“Die, light, die, any good that ever was,
Die, wisdom; yea, die, virtue, die, respect,
Die, honor, die, nobility, die, right—
These qualities shall perish on this day.
For lo, the Sith do ply their merry tricks,
Come, death: thy name is order sixty-six.”

“‘Tis well, a masterful performance, sirrah.
We’ll hear a play anon, my worthy friends.
Go hence awhile until ye are sent for.
Say, can you play the sad and dreadful tale
‘The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise’?”

Having Palpatine pull a Hamlet and add lines to a play to subliminally trigger Anakin is genius.
