Hey! Don’t
be sorry, I love questions so thank YOU! 🙂Lightspeed is described as the speed of a ship in hyperspace, however, how fast a ship can
navigate through hyperspace depends. I
made this post about travel in GFFA, if you take a look you will find a
graphic that helps calculate how long a trip would take. As an example, a trip
from the Core to the Outer Rim can take up to 120 hours.

A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.
Serial Killer: metaphorically, if you were to kill someone, how would you do it?
Writer: Air shot between the toes, it’ll look like a heart attack.
Serial Killer who is obviously in love already: *sucks in a breath* ok
Writer: how long would it take to die if you were to potentially stab someone in the guts
Serial killer: anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes
Writer, already bringing a ring out: *shaking* thanks
A++ addition
Writer: *shows the serial killer the murder scene they’re writing* babe, i’m not sure if this would actually work?
Serial killer: *kisses writer on the forehead and leaves, comes back later, a suspicious scent of blood coming off them* it works baby, you’re doing great

Anakin didn’t care about Clone lives?
(Related to this post by padawanlost. I’m putting it separately because the best points were already made in that thread and I’m just compiling things here and I’m shy.)
A while ago I read some people’s analysis on how Anakin (and Ahsoka and Obi-Wan too, apparently) did not care about clone lives based on The Clone Wars series.
Okay, fine, people can have opinions. Let’s look at the details.
They accuse that Anakin:
- risked clone lives during Malevolence run just to hog all glory.
- risked clone lives just to get R2 back. (okay this one got me)
- (with Ahsoka) threw Rex off the wall in Second Geonosis.
- (with Obi-Wan) did not save that one clone who lost his grip and fell from the cliff in Citadel arc.
- did not check if Echo was really dead or show any sad emotions for it.
- (with Obi-Wan) never gives dead clones their due while taking time for an impromptu funeral for Jedi Master Piel in Citadel arc. (because clearly they are the only ones with that problem)
- did not do for Fives in Order 66 arc as much as he did for Ahsoka.
All right, fine. I could refute at least half of the above list, but that might get subjective real fast.
Still, probably don’t forget the times Anakin:
- wanted to help Rex in Teth battle on the risk of failing the mission.
- staged a rescue mission after being told not to in Malevolence arc because “lives are at stake.”
- helped a weakened Wolffe (I think that was Wolffe?) get out of the broken pod (and get the med droid to tend to them)
- changed courses in Malevolence run when someone gave a better option.
- from the same episode, “I also can’t take the lives I lost lightly.”
- got himself blown up after getting everyone (including clones who are not under his command) to safety in Jedi Crash.
- charged ahead solo to take out the defoliator on his own despite above injuries.
- tells Rex to stand down and not risk unnecessary conflict with the Talz in Tresspass.
- paused mid battle to save Denal from falling to his death. (and then letting him down gently while running after Ahsoka)
- was visibly relieved to see Red Eye (apparently) okay in Voyage of Temptation.
- yelled “Get behind me!” when facing spider assassin droids because he’s better equipped than the clones to handle them.
- immediately went to help Rex and Cody from above mentioned spider droids.
- (with Ahsoka) is shown trying to help injured clones after a bomb unexpectedly blew up nearby on Zygerria arc.
- on multiple occasions is shown to be the last one boarding the evacuating gunship.
- showed visible sadness when Commander Ponds was executed by Boba’s gang.
- gets comatose Tup out of the Separatist clutches in Order 66 arc.
- The Bad Batch arc is about him getting Echo back.
Bonus from the movie: Anakin wanted to help the clone pilots during the battle over Coruscant in RotS, even though the mission is to rescue the Chancellor.
So I don’t know, the evidence *clearly* stacks against him. /sarcasm
And sure Jedi such as Mace Windu and Yoda *clearly* cared more than our main trio because of That One Time Yoda gave clones pep talk and That One Time Mace helped his men during his limelight episode. /double sarcasm
TCW isn’t entirely consistent with their characterizations, especially if it involves Rule of Funny or Rule of Cool. (Geonosis one is definitely a case of Rule of Funny in my opinion) In fact, all visual media does that now and then. Still, there is an overall trend on how clones are treated by Jedi.
For the record, I do not think Mace and Yoda ever intentionally ‘not care’ or abuse clones. I do not believe any Jedi (aside from those like Krell) would do that. But the problem is that we see more (arguably) conflicting evidence for Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and not for Mace and Yoda, because we see Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan more. There isn’t enough *statistical power* to make a good comparison between two groups.
Also for those who accuse of Ahsoka not hesitating to kill clones who were brainwashed by Geonosis bug to kill her and Barriss… Yoda didn’t bat an eye before beheading clones that crept up to him during Order 66 either but no one talks about that for some reason.
About the anakin and clones thing, it confuses me when I see these kinds of posts but I’ve actually run into a surprising amount of them, people who claim anakin was terrible to his troops. One post was talking about all the Jedi being terrible but Anakin especially they didn’t go into details about why, they were just naming a bunch of different Jedi (who they thought didn’t care about clones) and they emphasized anakin specifically. I saw a post about how he was responsible for fives death too
Oh, yeah,
everything is Anakin’s fault lol I’ve seen people blame him for the formation
of the GAR, accusing him of beating Padmé for years and all sort of crimes. But, as you said,there are no details… because no
there are no
facts supporting these claims. It’s usually just people who don’t like Anakin
grasping at straws.Anakin wasn’t
perfect, he definitely had a hand on the enslavement of clones but to say he
didn’t care at all , that he was intentionally cruel to them or that he was worse
than the rest of the Jedi Order is ridiculous. There’s no evidence supporting
such claims. What we do have is a ton of comic, book, movie and shows moments
where Anakin is seen clearly worrying about his men and saddened by his
inability to do more for them. we also have only a handful of moments where any
other Jedi shows deep concern over the death of clones. If Anakin is so
terrible, where is the evidence? Why is there no book quote, movie/tv scene or
comic panel where Anakin wittingly mistreats clones?There’s a
list of evidence that shows Anakin’s concern for his men and his men’s loyalty and respect
for Anakin’s command. There’s no evidence supporting the opposite, only interpretations.
And interpretations can be screwy because we are all biased. That’s why I like to
show where I got the information I’m discussing. I want people to know what
when I say “Anakin cared for the clones”, I’m not making stuff up to defend a
character I love. I’m merely stating a fact.[Anakin]
looked at Ahsoka. “Fine. You can go. But I want to be kept informed of
Torrent Company’s status. Don’t make me chase you for updates, is that clear?”
She managed to smile. “Yes, Master. Thank you.” “And Ahsoka …” He felt his
heart thud. “Tell Rex—tell all of them—that anything less than a full recovery
is unacceptable. Tell Rex I—” He had to stop. Obi-Wan was in earshot, and they
were not supposed to care so much. [Karen Miller’s Star Wars: Clone

Ugh—people have such a black and white version of slick’s
choice/decision. Like yes he betrayed his brothers by working for ventress but, what other
choice did he have. what choice did he think he had for himself? A good chunk of the fandom thinks that he joined ventress wanting to kill his brothers—that his
intention was for his brothers to die. No it wasn’t. he thought she would help
and she didn’t. she got away and he didn’t. the last thing slick wanted was to lose his brothers.If you look at slick’s story and see him as an antagonist
then look at it again.Slick is a slave and he’ll do anything to obtain freedom,
and if he thinks his choice will aid his brothers, then he’ll do it. In situations
of slavery and oppression this…isn’t uncommon at all. If you don’t bother to
look through slick’s perspective of actually accept that he was a slave to the
jedi, then your view on what he did will be limited.And it’s amazing how people can dog on him for working with
ventress and getting his brothers killed, when the same people are silent abt how
Anakin and Obi-Wan mistread and get clones killed constantly like toys—and never
get held accountable for it. That is the life slick was trying to escape—a life
of slavery. And a lot of you are so dense to the point you think he is in the
wrong.like slick was in a desperate situation and extremely vulnerable and you guys are hating on him for jumping on the freedom wagon he first chance he gets. yall really think he wanted to kill his brothers. tragic.
