Hey Moddy, what is your opinion about the Rako Hardeen mission?
Oh man, so I have very mixed opinions about it.
Like its a SHITTY thing to do, if someone I loved convinced me they were dead, let me grieve them, I think I might loose it a bit if they suddenly came back to life.
But at the same time I also understand that Obi-Wan had duty and that they thought it was the best option in desperate time.
So I understand but at the same time, shitty.
And I feel like a lot of people would understand why Obi-Wan did it, other Jedi, the clones and such.
But I also at the same time feel like they would be hurt?
Like… yes, understanding that it was done for duty and to save the Chancellor but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be hurt, sentient beings can both understand but also emotions aren’t logical things.
Cody spends so much time with Obi-Wan, his troopers care about him. To suddenly find that he’s alive can be an emotionally crushing thing even as they understand duty. The same goes for his Jedi friends.
People who care about you will still feel pain, you can get angry because they put you in pain.
But Anakin at the same time is a hypocrite I feel, because he knows that some secret has to be kept and he knows its duty and yet at the same time he doesn’t like it when things are kept from HIM.
If he’s the one keeping secrets, its fine.
But if you are keeping secrets from him, oh hell no.
So yeah, I have mixed emotions about the mission and I know that Palpatine manipulated the situation. I understand that emotions aren’t logical and I know that Obi-Wan as a Jedi would put his duty and the ruler of the Senate first.
He doesn’t have to like it, no one has to like it, but that’s still the bottom line, duty and the Chancellor’s life.
And that is the Jedi’s duty, to uphold peace.
They aren’t perfect beings but they are trying.
So yeah, I got a bit rambly there but that’s what I think, that its ultimately a crappy situation they’re all forced into, that most people will understand that Obi-Wan did his duty but that they can still be hurt because… well fuck, we’re all humans and emotions are hard.
So yeah.
