Ejfivercommander - Que Sera, Sera. // Whatever Will Be, Will Be.

(Kind of) Have you ever noticed? Part 3.

Well I was thinking about why was Savage labelled as a mindless monster who was just a pawn to everybody, and I think the answer is easy: this is what the show wanted to think.

It has three important part :

Names

Savage was rarely called by his name, instead of that he called:

-Reckless, impulsive animal (Obi-wan)

-This thing… this animal (Obi-wan)

-Ignorant beast (Dooku)

-Fool (Ventress)

-Monster (Anakin)

If you hear something repeatedly, you'll be more likely to believe it.

2. The scene from Brothers episode

Do you remember the Brothers episode (season 4 episode 21) when Savage choking a lady who didn't do anything?

Well originally it wasn't the whole scene. There is a deleted part from the show:

Is it a little bit differenet, isn't it?

I wouldn't say it was good reaction from Savage, but it shows he didn't act without reason.

3. Pawn to everybody

Savage served Ventress and Dooku because of the Nightsister magic. In this period we could say he was a pawn. His mind was controlled by magic, and he lost his will. But after the magic he had own thoughts and he didn't afraid to share them.

So long story short: he was not a mindless animal at all, he was reasonable and honest with his thoughts.

Have you ever noticed? Part 1.

That look what he gave to the other zabrak. It isn't pity or anger, just sad acceptance. I think he had seen this kind of cruelty so many times in his life, and he learned that's their life. They are just servants of the Nightsisters. It's their fate, and he has accepted it.

But it still stings him when he sees how the Nightsisters treats them.

Have you ever noticed? Part 2.

What we see here? In the Selection one zabrak from the four die, which is part of the trials. Savage kneels down to check the other nightbrother, and with this act he broke the defensive formation. It wasn't a necessary act, the others just looked at the dead nightbrother and focused back to the fight.

He did it immediately and I think that was an instinctive act from him. He was caring and protective for Feral, but not just for him. This act shows us the other nightbrothers were important for him too, and he cared what happen to them.

I am so sorry I need to do this.
