BEST OF OBI WAN // SEASON 4

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

Okay but Jedi having survived Order 66 calling the genocide of their people “a good thing” is sure something I’ve seen in fanfictions, and I cannot accept it.

Yeah, your self-indulgent rebuilding of the Jedi Order to what you imagine it needed to be is fine, write what you want. 

But Order 66 was not “a chance at a fresh start.” 

It was not “what the Jedi deserved for their hubris.” 

I can imagine Jedi having massive cases of survivor guilt. I can imagine the self-loathing that would come with it. I can imagine Jedi suddenly being hyper-critical of their own culture and seeing their flaws magnified tenfold - because to accept that they got wiped out for no goddamn reason at all would be infinitely worse than to believe they brought about their own destruction. 

I can imagine them struggling to reconcile the will of the Force and what happened, asking themselves “Did the Force want this? Then, how could I trust it?” “Was the Force powerless to stop this? Then, how could it protect me?” 

I can imagine that. 

But I can’t imagine one single Knight or Master believing that the death of their children was good. I can’t imagine a single Knight or Master, whose entire life was built on principles of compassion, believing that genocide is ever the answer to a flawed society. I can’t imagine a single youngling or Padawan remembering their caretakers’ flaws as deserving of death.

The Padawans we see in canon held on to the Order’s beliefs. Kanan became a Jedi again, Cal became a Jedi again. Ahsoka never once expressed the view that the Jedi needed to die, and she was never afraid to criticize the Order. If she didn’t see Order 66 as a “fresh start,” who would?

Go ahead and call the Masters “too set in their ways,” call the Padawans “indoctrinated, brainwashed.” Say “their arrogance caused them to fall.” But to push such a frankly alarming view of genocide onto the survivors and to frame it as healthy critical thinking? Please don’t do that. 

I know they’re fictional characters and I know everyone is entitled to an opinion, but please, don’t try to pass off a survivor approving of their people’s slaughter as healthy, good, rational or positive in any way. 

Goddammit, Star Wars fandom.

damn bail organa pulling out some hard truths

but in all seriousness? this was the horrible brilliance of palpatine—by placing the Jedi center stage, he pushed the blame for the war off himself and the senate and onto them. The Jedi are viewed as this mysterious force (ha) that can solve people’s problems without a second thought. But the clone wars was awful and long and complicated, and the people of coruscant, most of the core really, never saw it. They never understood the true difficulties of war, and so once the republic started losing battles they blamed the Jedi for not doing enough. The Jedi had always been able to solve problems easily, so for them to be losing the war meant the Jedi weren’t doing everything they could! Who else is there to blame but the generals leading the fight?

I never really grasped the full extent of palpatine’s plan before reading this book (Wild Space). He pretended to have great admiration for the Jedi, to seek their advice, and so put them at the center of media coverage, but as time passes he twists it all. As the war goes on, Jedi become less peacekeeper and more soldier, less a separate entity and more beholden to the senate. They become the face of a war that everyone is tired of fighting.

In contrast, Palpatine masquerades as a humble leader who doesn’t wish for more power, but reluctantly accepts it in times of crisis. So of course by the end of the war the people will believe their kind chancellor, who was an admirer of the Jedi, when he tells them that the Jedi have betrayed them. They will trust him when he says their brave clone troopers have gotten rid of a threat to the republic. The war has ended right after the Jedi have gone, so it only makes sense that the Jedi were the problem! Palpatine is the savior and survivor—their fearless leader who braved an attack by the Jedi and now hopes to build a safer empire in the wake of their destruction.

The Jedi attacking Palpatine in ROTS is just the final touch. For years, Palpatine has been building to the inevitable moment when he will be discovered, and once it comes he is ready. The people do not trust the Jedi—by being on the frontlines of a bloody war that seems to have no end, they have become violent warmongers in the public’s eyes. So once the jedi attack palpatine, it will be seen as them trying to take even more power, cause even more suffering. Palpatine will never shoulder the blame because to the public, he never wanted power in the first place, but was forced to accept it.

Now, as the empire begins, the people are afraid after a war that has dragged on for too long. The war has ended and they only want to be safe after three years of uncertainty. They think the threat is gone, with the separatists defeated and the Jedi destroyed. They have faith in their chancellor, their emperor, because he tells them an Empire will rise from the ashes of the republic—and what is more powerful, more safe, than that?

Vader: [opening a desk drawer in Obi-Wan’s old room] Let’s see what this old fool kept in here…[picking up a piece of paper]  Obi-Wan: [in a letter] 

Dear Anakin, 

If you’re reading this, then you must be rifling through my belongings, which means you are either extremely bored (in which case I suggest going and tidying up your quarters, which I don’t need to see to know are a disaster,) or I’ve been missing for an extended amount of time and the Order needs the room to store extra chairs, or I’ve died, possibly while trying to rid the galaxy of General Grievous. If I am in fact dead, I hope this letter finds you well in spite of it, and that you have not gone off the deep end or murdered anyone in an attempt to avenge me. (…unless it’s Grievous, I suppose.)

You will find attached to this letter the receipts for several items in my room, such as the electric tea kettle. I hope you can at least return them for store credit. 

I’ve set up a college savings plan with the Galactic Bank of Coruscant, because I noticed that Senator Amidala is obviously pregnant, and since I am not nearly as dense as you apparently think I am, I presume the child is yours. The account information is in my safe, which I would give you the combination to except that I know you have been breaking into it since you were 14. 

If you do intend to eventually leave the Order, as I suspect you might, please make sure that you give the Council two weeks’ notice. It’s only polite, and you never know when you may need to use them as a reference. Even though I know you clash with them, they do care about you.

Finally, please make sure Duchess Satine’s nephew gets the inheritance I’ve left him (the information is also in my safe, and no, I’m not going to tell you any more details about this. I realize how much this is going to torment you, and I’d be lying if I said that’s not bringing a smile to my face.) 

Your blanket is in the hamper. Wash it on the gentle cycle. The password for the wi-fi, in case you’ve forgotten, is BuyYourOwnDataPlanAnakin.

Be well, my Padawan, and I shall see you again someday – hopefully many years from now – when you, too, rejoin the Force. Don’t forget to change the payment settings for Netflix now that I’m dead or you’ll fall behind on your programs. 

Yours,  Obi-Wan Kenobi  PS: Don’t let Vos speak at my funeral.
