The Jedi Council do know that ‘feigning’ weakness doesn’t mean shoot
yourself in the foot and hope for the best, right? Strategically
speaking, they’ve made every mistake in the book. You don’t send your
armies jumping across the galaxy like it. It’s exhausting for everyone.
You don’t add more stress to someone that’s already tired and exhausted.
Also, the required skill sets for a spy and a frontline general are
vastly different. So WHY?! What kind of brains do these old Jedi folks
have? (2/2)
The Jedi
Council was completely out of their depths and it’s important for the audience
to recognize that because that’s how Palpatine ultimately won. He overwhelmed
them to the point the Council could no longer think rationally. They weren’t
stupid but they were lost. By that point, they had completely lost sight of the
bigger picture. They were so focusing on ending the war they lost track of
everything else.
Oh, the pain!!! This hurt so much that it feels like the blaster had also gone right through my heart
Well, this might proof that I’m still salty about all this Anakin discourse that has been going on lately. But honestly? All the Anakin haters can fight me tbh.
I’ve seen many people complain saying that why Anakin didn’t put so much effort into helping Fives as he did with Ahsoka. But let’s check the facts. The Ahsoka thing probably took many days, since she was accused, and during all the time she spent escaping, which gave Anakin enough time to investigate and find the true guilty. Now, with Fives, it probably only took a few hours since he tried to kill Palpatine and Fives gave Kix the coordinates for Anakin to find him. There was no time to investigate, they needed to act quickly or Fives would have been captured by the Coruscant Guard.
When Anakin arrives, he’s only with Rex. He could have taken a clone squadron with them, but he didn’t, just as Fives had asked him. Then again, when Fives asks them to lower their weapons, he gives Rex the order to do it, only trusting Fives word about him being unarmed.
“We’re here to help you, Fives. Just come with us. Let us take you back to the temple” Anakin never intended to take Fives to prison or to whatever place they might have taken him. He wanted to take him to the Jedi temple, where he would have been safer.
When Fives tell them that he was framed, Anakin looks down, like he’s thinking about the whole situation. Then he asked for evidence. Here, we know that what Fives is saying is true, but they don’t, they believe that Fives is a dangerous man because he took out his chip, that’s what they have been told and they probably were certain of it because Fives tried to kill the “innocent” Chancellor. But Anakin says “Let’s get you some help first. Then we can review everything. It’ll be okay, Fives. We’ll sort this out”. Despite not believing in what Fives was saying, Anakin still wanted to help.
The only moment Anakin looses his patience is when Fives tell them that the Chancellor is involved in the plot. “The Chancellor is incapable of what you claim” he says. But let’s remember that Anakin has being manipulated by Palpatine, since he was a kid, into believing he’s a good man and a good friend of his.
Then the Coruscant Guard arrives and this is Anakin’s face when he sees them:
You can barely see it because the focus of the scene is in Fives. But he’s worried he’s scared for Fives. Then again, the scene focuses on Fives, but if you look at Anakin right before Fives tries to take Rex’s blasters, you see Anakin trying to stop him from doing it.
Then just see the gifs above to see how sad he was. And if you want more proof? Look at this:
You can’t convince me that he “didn’t care”
But then some people might say “why didn’t he investigate afterwards?”. He doesn’t because he trusts Palpatine. Palpatine tell them that it was a parasite and that it was the only cause of the “sickness” Fives and Tup had. Then Yoda and Mace say that the situation is over, so what else can we expect Anakin to do? The Jedi council stopped the investigation because Palpatine gave them the “solution”. There’s nothing else to do.
If we’re going to hate somebody, let’s hate Palpatine.
Anyway… after saying this, I’ll go back to keep crying about Fives because this scene hurt me too much.
@guineapigzwei yes they should have, but I think they didn’t bc, first, the plot was already established, order 66 had to happen. Second, the Jedi arrogance stop them from seeing the darkness behind all the situation. And third, the blind trust the Jedi order had in the Chancellor. They stopped investigating because Palpatine gave them the “solution” to the problem.
They were basically told “the cause was a parasite, but you don’t have to worry anymore because we’ve developed a vaccine for other clones so this won’t happen again” and they believed it. The Jedi needed the clone army to win the war and now that they know that the problem is “solved”, then why they should worry?
And the Jedi had more than one opportunity to stop order 66 from happening. I mean, Kix managed to discover the plot and he was just a one man! Imagine what the Jedi could have done if they had believed in Fives’ words!
Anakin, as
a Jedi, had a unique approach to slavery. I’m aware this is a divisive topic
with opinions ranging from “Anakin was worse than Jabba” to “Anakin did nothing
wrong”. Instead of doing a “opinion piece” I decided it would be more
constructive if we could look at the facts. My personal opinion will still be a part of this but today I’ll try to show more and talk less.
