What if Fox had intended to stun Fives but at some point Palpatine telekinetically switched his blaster to kill, without him noticing?
N O
OH NO
NOOOOOOO
Actually, I was writing about that, how the reason fox let so many things slide was that Palpatine used fox the most.
Think about it, all Jedi have their clone groups, and we can all agree palpameme’s is the CG’s. so many of the separatist attacks on Coruscant, the big one being the kamikaze droids sneaking past fox, were all too easy
Look at the clone wars movie, fox was like Fordo 2.0 from how he saved Padme
He is the COMMANDER of home base security, it would make sense that fox was under the influence of Palpatine’s force powers to make the dumb mistakes needed to stall for the clone army to grow close enough to the Jedi for order 66.
But when things were dire, Example being when all the senators were held hostage in the Senate building, Fox and his men were there when needed and handled the situation the best they could, none of the men gave in to pressure, and stood strong. MUCH better than the Senate guard did.
Fox probably had the most impact on Palpatine’s plan to lead into order 66, and killing fives was by far the most important thing leading into order 66.
Another thing is Yoda, how he uses force meditation to make his men fight more effectively. Who is to say there is a force power to do the opposite?
