Clone Wars had the best character dynamics because every character fulfilled the role of either the voice of reason or the reckless idiot, except they all constantly flip flopped between those two roles depending on who they were interacting with in that episode. For example, Obi-wan is the voice of reason when you put him with Anakin, but he’s the reckless idiot if you put him with Cody. Padme is either the voice of reason who keeps Anakin in line, or she’s the reckless idiot who tries to solve a murder mystery while Bail tags along to keep her ass from getting shot. Anakin and Ahsoka were constantly switching places with each other on the reckless-to-reasonable scale. Sometime he was the idiot, sometimes she was the idiot, but most of the time they were both idiots and Rex was the voice of reason for both of them. However, Rex himself was also the reckless idiot to Cody’s voice of reason. In fact, the only consistency here is that Cody is always the voice of reason no matter what, and that’s why he is the single most competent person in the entire Republic.

hm. thinking about the knife-to-the-ribs contrast between Baby Anakin defiantly saying, “I’m a person and my name is Anakin!” in Episode One and Darth Vader defeatedly saying, “That name no longer has any meaning to me” in Episode Six.

thinking also about how many of Luke’s decisions in ROTJ were essentially him telling his father “You’re a person and your name is Anakin.”

Leia, you were scheduled for execution.

She had it under control.

if this doesn’t sound EXACTLY like her damn father

I shake my head when people say, “Luke is his father’s son and Leia is her  mother’s daughter!” because seriously, watch them.  Each has parts of both parents.
