So a thing in Star Wars fanfiction I've noticed is that the text and/or the characters will treat shinies as pure innocent uwu babies who need protecting when at most they're a couple years younger and went through the same brutal training regime.
#like i get it#but its frustrating to see the lack of nuance sometimes#which isnt to say its not sweet or never done well#Its just often i see the canon concept of 'shiny' veer into infantilisation#which feels weird because as stated above#they are not that much younger than even the first veteran clones#Star wars#The Star War#Clone wars#clone troopers#Gwoughts#gwobservations
