anyway, here's a sad-ass star wars thought with tw for ableism shit
someone take obi-wan's anh line of "he's more machine than man", describing vader as ruined/corrupted, and match that the fuck up with prequels
did anakin skywalker not get any of the help he needed in part because as soon as he lost a hand - and got an obvious prosthetic replacement - his mentor quietly shuffled him into the "less-than-human and not truly of any value" box?

so there's your plot bunny of anakin/vader looking back and Realizing (tm) "oh that's when i stopped being a real person to obi-wan, who was in charge of taking care of me, wasn't it :')"
and if you want to write an essay instead, pls consider how vader's redemption hinges on his son recognizing that a person relying on lifesaving prosthetics is still a person and worthy of love/respect/being humanized as such
