Ezra, answering the phone: Hello?
The Grand Inquisitor: We have your father.
Ezra: …Yeah you must have the wrong number, my dad’s dead.
Grand Inquisitor: Oh my bad, have a good night.
Ezra: You too.
Ezra:
Ezra, calling back: WAIT DO YOU MEAN KANAN-
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.
Meh and mah silly drawings #7
Anyone else trying to learn Mando‘a?
It’s so sad that we never got to see the 501st interact with the Null-ARCs. Since the Null-ARCs respect everyone who’s willing to give his life for his brothers and their safety, they would have loved Fives and Kix. Not only them but actually the whole Legion (Dogma excluded) because everyone would just give their life for his brothers. I need that as an extra, I’m gonna cry.
SCREAMING
So Captain Rex is going to be in Ahsoka?? I have so many questions! How old is he going to be? Will he just be a two second cameo or will he actually get some screen time?? And will this destroy all possibility of the Rexsoka stories I have floating around in my head being technically feasible within canon??
Thanks Poookie🙏🏻💛
Edit: How?😭
HAVE YOU ALREADY MADE SPOKE ONES?????

Me feeling special because I got the Ghost crew, Ahsoka and Rex in a Star Wars mobile game that barely anyone knows.
