Akwedukty Puszczy Rominckiej, Stańczyki, Polska (część 1 z 3)

Północne krańce Mazur należą do najrzadziej odwiedzanych zakątków kraju. Właśnie tu, wśród uroczych pagórków i łąk, za wsią Stańczyki, znajdują się potężne mosty nieczynnej linii kolejowej Gołdap - Żytkiejmy. Mosty te są najwyższymi na linii i jednymi z najwyższych w Polsce.

Mosty mają długość 200 metrów, wysokość 36 metrów. Konstrukcja żelbetowa, pięcioprzęsłowa o równych 15m łukach. Filary ozdobione są elementami wzorowanymi na rzymskich akweduktach, stąd nazwa: "Akwedukty Puszczy Rominckiej".

Aqueducts of the Romincka Forest, Stańczyki, Poland (part 1 of 3)

The northern ends of Masuria belong to the least visited corners of the country. It is here, among charming hills and meadows, behind the village of Stańczyki, that the massive bridges of the disused Gołdap–Żytkiejmy railway line are located. These bridges are the highest on the line and among the tallest in Poland.

The bridges are 200 meters long and 36 meters high. The structure is reinforced concrete, with five spans, each with equal 15-meter arches. The pillars are decorated with elements modeled after Roman aqueducts, hence the name: "Aqueducts of the Romincka Forest."

Jest czwarta w nocy, warszawskie mosty

Są smutne, bo chciały nas połączyć

Ja też mam swoje rozczarowanie

Bo znów dociera, że nic nie stanie się

Unintended Consequence: The Detrimental Effects of Close Proximity to the Jedi Council Upon Padawans

Just to be clear: I don’t believe this was the intention of the creators. In fact I believe that this is in part a result of wanting to portray the Jedi in the best possible light. With few exceptions the vast majority of Jedi with speaking roles in Star Wars:The Clone Wars were members of the Jedi Council. This is in part due to its members being the most recognizable Jedi outside the main cast, but it’s also because as Jedi Masters they were intended to be exemplars of what it means to be a Jedi. It should be mentioned that by focusing on the top 0.01% of the Jedi Order we don't get the most accurate view of the organsation as a whole, but I digress.

This inadvertently became an issue as whenever the writers decided to tell a story about Jedi falling to the dark side of the force as the Jedi in question is often somehow connected to the council member present to show the audience the morally correct choice.

While classifying Asajj Ventress is challenging, she was trained by Count Dooku. Count Dooku was famously trained by Yoda himself, and according to the Disney novel Dooku: Jedi Lost, was once himself also a member of the Jedi High Council.

Nahdar Vebb, introduced in the Lair of Grievous, traveled down the same slippery slope as TCW!Anakin. There are a number of parallels between the characters such as being the padawan of a Jedi Council member (Kit Fisto), and being knighted early for the sake of the war effort. He often gets overlooked because while he was obviously slipping "We can’t just run. We must finish him" his defiance of the Jedi way got him killed before he could truly fall to the dark side.

Pong Krell is perhaps the most infamous example of a fallen Jedi in The Clone Wars. Surprisingly little of Krell’s background is known including who his master was or if they were a member Jedi Council. However, the history of nepotism that pervades the Jedi Order and the general high regard for Krell in spite of his high casualties might suggest a connection.

Barriss Offee and her master Luminara Unduli are the quintessential example of this phenomenon. Due to being shown working closely with the Jedi Council in Attack of the Clones they were prominently featured in the expanded universe eventually including TCW. In fact until editing the author had mistakenly believed Luminara was a member of the Jedi Council.

David Filoni mentions in the director’s commentary that the Jedi Temple Bomber was going to be an original character before he realised that it was his opportunity for Ahsoka to leave the Jedi Order permanently and avoid Order 66 rather than return at the end of the arc. As Ahsoka’s only padawan friend Barriss was thrown under the metaphorical speeder and recast as the villain to heighten the drama of the arc.

Anakin Skywalker was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi and while he doesn’t truly fall during the series, the series never missed an opportunity to foreshadow his future as a Sith often in the most ham-handed ways possible.

Ahsoka Tano was also trained in part by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and as such is not exempt from the trend. While visiting the planet Mortis Ahsoka was poisoned by The Son and fell under the sway of the dark side.

It would reasonable to attribute the incident to the proximity of (future) council member Anakin Skywalker. However, it is clear Anakin was an unwanted addition to the council and evidence shows that he had an inexplicably positive effect on young dark acolytes, possibly due to being denied the rank of Master.

Notably Obi-Wan Kenobi did not fall to the dark side in spite of great suffering and close involvement with the Jedi Council. It seems reasonable to conclude that this is mostly due to Qui-Gon Jinn’s frequent defiance of rather than seeking a place among the council that ultimately spared him that fate.
