Imagine If One Of Palpatine's Opponents Tried To Discredit Him By Causing A Scandal But Every Time It

Imagine if one of Palpatine's opponents tried to discredit him by causing a scandal but every time it fails it gets more unhinged

Drugging the wine to make Palps appear drunk in public but he uses his Sith whatever to keep a clear head

Tapping his office but Palps leaks them information he wants to have spread, so it ends up serving him

(Hiring someone to) go undercover as an intern and trying to seduce Palpy, but all they get out of it is tea & biscuits, during which they receive life advice that helps them face their childhood wounds and they end up sobbing and thanking him

Making Palps end up in a nightclub somewhere, but he's such a sweet grandpa that all the drunk young people just treat him like their new bestie and it becomes a campaign success which wins him support from younger demographics

I don’t know how people come to the conclusion that attachment is good. If someone “loved” me to the point of committing genocide for me — without even caring about who’s innocent and who’s guilty —, I’ll be afraid, thank you very much.

Broke: Individual Jedi were good people with good intentions, but the Jedi Order as an institution was flawed and needed to be reformed.

Woke: The Jedi Order as an institution is completely correct in all of its teachings about everything and following the Jedi's teachings about selflessness and compassion are what allow people of the galaxy to achieve balance and peace, but these teachings are an ideal to live up to and they assert that everyone has the capacity for darkness within them anyway, so sometimes individual Jedi will make mistakes or struggle with fear and pain and selfishness as they strive towards being their best selves the way their culture trains them to do.

She is with her doves :3c (Also GW give her a Laurel crown, please)

So are jedi robes / cloaks waterproof? Like if they had to swim across a lake, would they get their undergarments wet? Do they take classes on how to deal with trench foot and shit? I really hope they at least had a change of clothes stuffed somewhere on their utility belt. If they were on the time restraint, say rescuing a princess or defusing a bomb, would they have to stand there and pretend they don't feel the feeling of water sloashing around in their boots, the sand or gravel or whatever makes up the beach / river bank getting everywhere? Leeches getting on you and sucking your blood, don't get me started on the mosquitos! Ugh, imagine doing aerobatics and fighting immediately after all that.

The thought that insiped this: I'm thinking about Attack of the Clones where Kenobi arrives on Kamino. (I don't jackshit about Kaminoians other than they are amphibians and that they specialize at bio engineering.) And I can't help but wonder if the Kaminoians wanted to cool down and had the air conditioning on blast that day.

The Jedi were completely justified in in the Wrong Jedi Arc (Part 1)

You know what, let's take a look at the Jedi interrogation of Ahsoka. Which was so bad that it both justifies Ahsoka's belief that the Order deserved what they got and so traumatic that we (according to Ahsoka fans) shouldn't be surprised that it wiped out her personality for around 30 years.

Let's start with "The Jedi who knew too much" since that's where Ahsoka was first suspected. Now let's look at the case against Ahsoka so far...

-She was seen angrily ranting about wanting Leeta to "pay" for bombing the Temple and was outraged that the military took custody of her because she wanted the Jedi to punish her. She's so angry she even starts questioning the Chancellor straight to the face of an Admiral.

-She's invited to speak to Leeta on her request only for Leeta to end up dead by a Force choke.

-Ahsoka was later found outside her cell, armed with her confiscated weapons. When the guard (quite logically) sounds the alarm, Ahsoka flees right into the path of three dead clones. Fox assumes (again, logically) that she killed them.

-She shouts that she was being set up to Anakin who says he believes her and asks her to come down so they can figure things out, but Ahsoka flees and resists arrest instead.

In response to this, the Jedi Council are understandably suspicious. However, their response was to deploy two teams to capture her alive.

Led by Anakin Skywalker and Plo Koon. AKA the two who most believed in her innocence.

That is an insanely compassionate act on their part. To entrust the mission to the very people who believe in her innocence and who'd do everything they could to bring her in safely.

Also everyone blames Fox for assuming she killed the three dead clones she was standing over but forget that Rex called an alert saying "She killed three clones" causing security to freak out and try to blow her away with a cannon.

If at any point Ahsoka had just stopped or stayed in her cell the frame job would've likely been discovered but she picked the worst possible combination of choices. Great job Ahsoka!
