Some people are more introverted. It is not a bad thing, just different. Not all trauma situations call for reaching out. Sure Anakin is worried about Owen, but he probably has conflicting feelings about saving/sparing his parent's killer. It isn't a stretch that Owen knows the Jedi are not big on personnel phone calls. If Anakin calls, he will feel guilty about his actions. He can't talk about that guilt or his feelings since it would be even more upsetting, specifically with Owen. What happens if Owen blames Anakin for leaving and letting this happen? Anakin can't talk about how he left the Jedi and went to hunt the killer of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and then spared that killer who was the same being that killed their parents. I don't think I could write any kind of conversation that goes well, Owen would be an emotional wreck and lashing out, which is not a good thing for Anakin.
Dude, what are you even talking about.
Anakin can be introverted because his personality is shaped by our choices. Being introverted doesn't mean he doesn't care about his family. That is called being a self-centered little kid who puts his own feelings first. Don't equate the two.
Regarding sparing Maul and conflicted feelings, that was in the update.
No...the courts should decide his fate. He had information that must be shared. You struggled internally. You wished to kill him..but you couldn't. You hated him...but you couldn't kill him. Not until he had shared all he knew. You,
So Anakin has already confirmed that he wants him dead, but he feels that Maul should be sentenced in the courts and he wants the information that he has.
Now you got to this weird tangent where Anakin will feel guilty about his actions and that SOMEHOW this means that Anakin can't talk about Maul at all because it would be more upsetting?. No, he feels conflicted as shown in the post above. Why wouldn't he be able to talk about Maul? All Anakin has to say is "Hey, me and Dooku caught the guy who killed our parents, we will be delivering him to receive his sentencing after we sort out some weird Force stuff." That is it. Anakin just tells him he caught Maul, and didn't kill him because he is a terrorist with important information, and that he will be sentenced in court after they take care of the Force Bond problem and get the info from him. There is no issue here.
Now regarding Owen blaming Anakin for leaving and letting this happen, well that is a possibility. But even worse is putting this off. What, are we never gonna speak to Owen again becasue "he may blame me for that thing that wasn't really my fault". That isn't solving your problems, it is running away form them.
Anakin can't talk about how he left the Jedi and went to hunt the killer of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and then spared that killer who was the same being that killed their parents. I don't think I could write any kind of conversation that goes well, Owen would be an emotional wreck and lashing out, which is not a good thing for Anakin.
Again, with this. Anakin can talk about this. He just has to tell the truth. That he left the Order with a Jedi to find Obi-Wan's and Qui-Gon's killer. That he spared the killer because he thought the court should decide his fate and that he is practically a terrorist with info that the Jedi need to catch his master. There it is. It is simple and the truth.
Then the fearmongering comes into play. Where you say that Owen could be an emotional wreck and lash out at Anakin. Well you know what, he could also be maybe grateful that his parent's killer was caught and that he will be brought to justice, did you think of that? Probably, but it didn't support the narrative you were trying to build.
We also might not be able to reach Owen or he could be in trouble. This would only make Anakin worry more. I see a lot of risks for only the small gain of peace of mind. While it is OOC knowledge, we are going to Tatooine and I am sure Dooku will help us find Owen. We aren't going to be waiting a year. Also a face to face conversation is better to have for this type of thing rather than over the phone/holo if possible. The ~two week~ delay isn't that large. That is why I would have Anakin hug his bunny instead of risking more emotional trauma.
You see, at around this point I thought we were debating in good faith. I don't really appreciate people using strawman arguments, or debating in bad faith, when the GM himself confirmed the argument to be false. See below, for the post you somehow missed regarding not being able to reach Owen or somehow calling and not learning anything about where he is or what he may be doing.
I can confirm that voting to call beru will not just be
"Hi Anakin. Owen left. I don't know where he is. Bye."
Now, you talk about Owen possibly being in trouble and that we shouldn't know if that is the case because Anakin would "worry". Well if a family member of mine was in trouble, I would like to know about it so I could do my best to help him. If for some reason Owen managed to get in more trouble (possible, but unlikely) then Anakin should know what the problem is so that he can have a solution for it when he arrives on planet. Instead of just showing up on planet, learning about this unlikely problem, and not having a solution for it because he wasn't prepared to solve it.
Edit: I don't like these fearmongering arguments. I'm gonna cool off for a bit.
