I'm Going To Be A Heretic And Say That The Jedi's Problem Wasn't That They Were Involved The Senate,

I'm going to be a heretic and say that the Jedi's problem wasn't that they were involved the Senate, it was that they weren't involved enough in the Senate. The Jedi should have moved out to the Unknown Regions if they didn't want to deal with the responsibilities of the Republic. They should have involved in politics by voting for leaders, running for election and utilizing their representation to push for their interests and agenda.

"but they didn't want to be involved-" look here people, you do not choose to get involved in politics. Politics involves everyone; you have a choice to play or not play. There is no option to opt out. By not playing, you forfeit the game to your opponents, and you lose before you begin.

That's how Palpatine wins. He sets the game, and the Jedi forfeit; they were doomed to lose from the start.

I just want to thank you for not being a porn bot. It’s actually very nice to have a notification of a real person following me.

uh, you're welcome for not being a porn bot?

I like a lot of your takes on Star Wars, so clicking the follow was an easy choice.

Hot Take: The people who say that Anakin is "female-coded" and the people who say that Obi-Wan is "Asian-coded" are both wrong. They are both white men; end of story.

Don't get me wrong; I enjoy both characters for their flaws and strengths, and I get invested in their stories, but they are not women or Asian. They are both white male characters created by a white man for a predominantly white audience.

Coding is such a stupid concept, and I want to stab myself in the eye with a fork every time I see anyone claim this. It's harmful, and takes attention and importance away from actual characters of color and their stories. It's basically riffing on stereotypes of races and then transposing those ideals on white people or aliens. And it's meant to be respectful or cool somehow?

It's simply incredibly insulting.

Are Jedi ripped off from Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam as well as Christianity? Yes.

Is Anakin Skywalker a masculine character with less traditional personality traits? Yes.

Are either of them "Asian" or "female"? NO.

The clone wars would have been much improved if satine was obi-wan’s drag persona

STAR WARS PREQUELS APPRECIATION WEEK | (10/15) favorite quote “ A strange thing about stories- Though all this happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here. It is happening as you read these words. This is how twenty-five millennia come to a close. Corruption and treachery have crushed a thousand years of peace. ” – Matthew Stover, Revenge of the Sith novelization
