what gets me about the padawan haircut is that there was absolutely no precedent for it in the original trilogy which means that george lucas just wanted to do that to ewan mcgregor

“You don’t have to call me [Princess]. I’m just Leia.” / “I’m a person and my name is Anakin.”
this is one of those posts yall gon hate me for, I'm just mentally preparing you, alrighty? don't yell at me, you chose to read this
In s4eps11 of tcw ("Kidnapped") the Zygerrians, with Dookus help, capture the Togrutan colony, to sell then into slavery, right? Well, when Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan report all this to the Jedi Council, Master Yoda seems concerned, so Plo asks "What is it, Master?"
and Yoda answers
i kid you not
"A darker hand I sense in all of this. Slavery, a great tool it is for the Sith."
And my brain immediately went "bitch you have an ARMY OF SLAVES. IF SLAVERY IS A TOOL FOR THE SITH. MAYBE. YOU SHOULD CHECK UP ON THE GUY WHO LIKE,,, I DONT KNOW,,,, COMMANDS THOSE SLAVES??? THE SLAVE MASTER??? THE GUY WHO??? STARTED THE WAR???"
but yeah, on a more serious note, it pains me that the Jedi never realised that the men they fought with are essentially slaves. My hc is that they were just never given sentient rights (I researched it, it's basically human rights but in space. every sentient creature gets them and is protected by them. even certain droids are considered sentient) and therefore aren't protected by them, so technically they aren't slaves and the Senate gets away with it unscathed but... the ethics of it all, you know? I feel like the Jedi should've picked up on it, and if they didn't, idk, maybe they were just waiting till after the war to address the issues? Still unethical on their part, but understandable. As soon as the clones get rights, they could be allowed to leave the army, which just isn't feasible during war time.
But yeah, I think if the Jedi had thought about the clones a bit more, about their situation, then maybe they would've noticed something off about the Chancellors politics. He literally has a slave army at his disposal, like,,, that's off, right? someone should investigate that, right? and I know, influence of the darkside, yada yada. Idk, I'm just hurting for the clones ig💔
Padmé Amidala Costume Details from the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005)
I think an underappreciated element of Leia's character is that even after days or weeks of ruthless interrogation interspersed with torture, she still had the presence of mind to identify a feature of the Stormtrooper who barged into her cell that she could mock.

“The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all… Obi-Wan still loved him.“
Honestly, this is the longest I've stuck with a series and I've had so much fun doing these!! They're in mostly chronological order; I started rex after rewatching john wick and getting hyped on all that neon. Here's to many more!
