There Are Absolutely Stupid Questions: Take Two

This one is admittedly less stupid than the last one but it still made me giggle so here goes.

Which Evil Wizard Emperor would you rather work for?

John Gaius

That's it, no further nuance though possibly a followup/corollary question to come we'll see.

How do you think the clones would react to learning about Anakin seeing Palpetine since he was a kid?

Because I can either see “This seems logical and even though it feels wrong I’m sure it’s fine” (it was not fine) or “General…wtf man. Like I’m sorry but are Jedi, like, deathly allergic to red flags and common sense? Because I feel like that’s what I’m getting from this”

Either way I just keeping thinking about it and about that one comic where Sheeve peeve threatens the Jedi to have Anakin see him when he was like, what? 12? And then takes him to a bar in the lower levels to just be like “Yeah so there is slavery here too! But don’t worry I will keep promising to fix this for the next few years and then never do anything about it”

oooh I think it really depends on the clone! Like I think there are plenty who are going to be like "hmm feels weird but also I am a child soldier I have no baseline for what's normal and what's not, plus this is the Chancellor of the Republic we pledge our lives too! It's probably fine." (I think the big stickler for them would be if they found out that Palpatine demanded essentially that it be without Obi-Wan there and that's when they start getting weird about it.)

I do think that there are some with stronger personalities that would make a lot of jokes about how weird it is, but in general idk as much as I wish someone had noticed how weird shit was, from the outside it sort of? Looks like a normal mentorship thing? (key word here being sort of lol)

Honestly I'm ngl I don't actually think that the Corries are treated super shittily by Palps or the Senators (not that they are treated well but I don't think they are being killed left and right) HOWEVER I do think if anyone was gonna be like, "damn their friendship is a little weird - wait palpatine has been having private meetings with him for HOW LONG?" it would be the corries who spend the most time with palpatine and see his two sidedness much more directly than anyone else does imo

THAT COMIC THOUGH it makes me want to gnaw through wood for a lot of reasons... the fact Mace and Obi-Wan were wary and tried to stop it but in the end were forced to be like well we'll see where this goes.... also just I think about that comic so much cause you see so many early seeds of how Palpatine has manipulated his thinking and values! Palpatine ofc wants to fix things but he can't bc of the senate!! It would be better if only one person was in control of everything then things would get done!! Very evil, very devious, I want to swaddle Padawan Anakin in a blanket

you HOLD us in suspense? you make us wait for what happens to Vader & Sand? oh! oh! jail for memyselfandtheemperor! jail for memyselfandtheemperor for One Thousand Years!!!!

Jk I loved the latest comic, the existential crisis vibes were spot on. Sometimes you gotta sit on some grass.

Lol jail for me then… XD

Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it! Feels like Vader´s life is just a prolonged existencial crisis ahah

does anyone know how palps managed to not get drafted by the jedi order way back when? like he’s from naboo which is a pretty well known planet and they’ve probably drafted many force sensitive kids from there before. if he was so powerful i want to know how the jedi didn’t sense him and immediately pick him up

also how do the jedi even draft force sensitive kids? like if padme’s ship never broke they would’ve flown past tatooine and anakin. the ENTIRE story would’ve been completely different

Male orb weave spiders have detachable genitals which work even after being detached. When mating, he will abandon his "palps" inside his (cannibalistic) partner and flee, knowing she will try to eat him. – WTF Fun Facts
