What if Anakin Focused on the Force Instead of Lightsaber Combat

The medical bay on the Republic cruiser smells of bacta and ozone. Anakin Skywalker lies on the recovery bed, his right arm ending at the elbow in fresh synthflesh and metal. The prosthetic will come later. Right now, there's only pain and memory.He replays the duel with Count Dooku. Not the blade work...that part barely mattered. Dooku lifted him with a gesture. Threw him across the room like debris. Held him paralyzed while Obi-Wan fell. The lightsaber combat was a theater.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE- Original video: https://youtu.be/sOOSh27j-08━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━FOLLOW THE SHOW📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Ghodsee Kristen R. Ghodsee reads and discusses 47 selections from the works of Alexandra Kollontai (1872-1952), a socialist women's activist who had radical ideas about the intersections of socialism and women's emancipation. Born into aristocratic privilege, the Ukrainian-Finnish Kollontai was initially a member of the Mensheviks before she joined Lenin and the Bolsheviks and became an important revolutionary figure during the 1917 Russian Revolution. Kollontai was a socialist theorist of women’s emancipation and a strident proponent of sexual relations freed from all economic considerations. After the October Revolution, Kollontai became the Commissar of Social Welfare and helped to found the Zhenotdel (the women's section of the Party). She oversaw a wide variety of legal reforms and public policies to help liberate working women and to create the basis of a new socialist sexual morality. But Russians were not ready for her vision of emancipation, and she was sent away to Norway to serve Always 2 There Are Always 2 There Are A conversational podcast about all things Star Wars.
