Imagine you live in Coruscant, just driving home from work with your speeder. All exhausted and hyped to go watch some holodramas as slander man’s illegitimate sister (Ventress) falls from whatever hole she came from right on top of your speeder and threatens you with her lightsaber to drive faster.
Daily life in Coruscant.
It’s not just with Even Piell. Every clone is left behind while the Jedi are getting suitable funerals. The bodies of the clones rot in the sand and the only ones who remember them are their brothers. It hurts.
Was the choice to have Evan Piell given an entire funeral while all of the fallen clones just get left behind a really stupid one to make? Yes. Does it come with some unfortunate implications if we take it very literally? Yes. Are you intended to view that writing choice as an actual condemnation of the way the Jedi view and treat the clones?
No.
Because this is a show for KIDS and when it wants you to know who the bad guy is, they aren't fucking subtle about it. Neither Obi-Wan nor Anakin are presented as the bad guys for either leaving the clones behind OR giving Evan Piell a funeral.
This is a show that plays the Imperial March every time Anakin so much as smirks just to really hammer the point home. This is a show that set an entire arc on a planet that appears to be perpetually dark just to really emphasize how evil Pong Krell is and how bad the clones have it in that moment. This is a franchise that has made its color symbolism as obvious as fucking possible so that every time someone shows up in red, you KNOW they're the bad guy, case closed, no more questions.
If they wanted us to condemn the Jedi for giving Evan Piell a funeral, they'd have said so. They'd have had one of the clones, or Ahsoka, or even Anakin, question that choice. This is an arc that has Tarkin in it who isn't hesitating to criticize the Jedi for being too soft to achieve victories, and HE doesn't even say anything to criticize the funeral when it happens.
It's a dumb writing choice that doesn't take into account how it makes the characters look when they stop to mourn a Jedi and never the clones, not an intentional condemnation of the Jedi as a whole. And I say this with confidence because nothing about the funeral is treated like it's a bad thing or something we as the audience should condemn and if we were intended to do so, we'd know it without an ounce of doubt.
Agnes must be so proud of Islet. My heart is screaming at the thought that Agnes sees herself in Islet and feels like she is talking to her younger self whenever she is talking to Islet.
I love those two.
This game is so adorable. I love it so much. Everything you do in there is so cute.
Please tell me I’m not the only one understanding nothing about that Twitter and Tumblr stuff right now. I feel like an idiot because I’m way too lazy to google it and I know, that I won’t get shit even if I google it, so it’s hopeless.
And yes, I know the commas are wrong but I’m too tired for it.
Trust the process (don’t)
Meh and mah silly drawings #2.5
the tension between me and the wip that refuses to write itself
Same. I remember how I freaked out when Ahsoka first appeared in Rebels. I was like “NO WAY”
proud to say that I loved Rebels before the Ahsoka trailer came out
Imagine being with Jar Jar on vacation. Bro would destroy the whole airport until they give you a free pass so he finally gets out of there.
You already knew everything, you just chose to stay silent.
