Did you know? In 'Revenge of the Sith,' Ewan McGregor was originally supposed to say, "I love you. But I will not help you." Later, George Lucas directed him to change it to "I loved you," as if he was talking to a dead person.

Ewan added: "He really sees that the Anakin he knew is gone - that he's become, and is killed by, Darth Vader...I think it's quite important that Obi-Wan doesn't realize he isn't dead. If he knew Sidious was going to save Anakin and rebuild him, Obi-Wan would have killed him." (x)

we talk a lot about the Jedi being the only group of people in the galaxy who consistently see the clones as people. but what if it goes both ways. if clones are little more than droids, then Jedi are the knights out of fairy tales and romance novels. the galaxy's perceptions and preconceptions are much like anakin's in tpm. the jedi are immortable infallible unkillable. they are paragons of virtue and light and intelligence. they are not people so much as concepts. legends. superheroes.

these people are as removed from the Jedi as they are from the clones. maybe even more so. the clones work with the Jedi every day. the clones see them make mistakes. simple human* errors. they see them mourn and rage and laugh. they see them try. so hard. they see them fail. they see them fall.

their Jedi are people. and the clones love them all the more for it.

Gyónás után & Nincs több

Bevallottam: a naplementét Svájcban.

Nem lett volna szabad.

Gonosz féreg az önvád. Az erősek

hajnalban kelnek, fát aprítanak,

isznak egy korty pálinkát, s így tovább.

Mivel csak ők, az erős gyilkosok

ismerik a füvek, fák, madarak,

a nők és a csecsemők nyelvét.

~

Nincs több, nincs, mint a bűnözők szeme,

az a bizonyos merev tekintet,

mely szigorú, akár a nap,

és berajzolja komoran

és ugyanakkor fényesen

a vágóhidak s a földi királyok

színehagyott, szomorú méltóságát.

Ezek a szemek,

egyedűl eme pillantások

méltóak észrevenni a halált

és a virágok átöltözködését.

Egyedűl

ők tudják elkiáltani

a világ minden bánatát, és egyedűl

ők tudják elhallgatni Isten titkát

szemközt a lincselő tömeggel.

— Pilinszky János

(Megjegyzés: ez két külön vers, témabeli hasonlóságuk okán fűztem össze őket. Mindenképpen érdekes párhuzam figyelhető meg, valószínűleg ugyanazon gondolatmenet szüleményei.)
