Things I’ve Just Now Decided Are Canon:  Huyang isn’t with Luke’s new Jedi school not for any plot reason or because Luke said no or anything like that. Huyang is with Ahsoka, because as the last Temple-raised person he knows in the galaxy, Huyang wanted to go with the last of the prequels Jedi. Ahsoka is his last connection to the thousands of generations of Padawans he helped train and he wanted to watch over this last one, because that was his choice and what he wanted most.

Image description: it's a drawing of Mace Windu from Star Wars. It's from the torso up. He's facing forward with a serious expression. There's lines that criss cross around his face and the drawing, cutting it in sections like tine breaks on glass. On the bottom center there's "Mace Windu Shatter point" written over my signature. The drawing is painted mainly in purples and greens. End of description.

How it feels knowing my comfort show is no longer so comforting

Of course Plan 99 is that.

99 was an unexceptionally brave trooper. And he sacrificed himself for his brothers.

I can't believe they honoured 99 in that way...even if it had always meant a looming death...

ITS HIM, ITS HIM. IM NOT OK

This is a mood

@phis-writing No cryptic tweets today, just relatable hate for Lieutenant Dickwad. :)

Crosshair could've shot the lieutenant in the back, sharpshooters don't care as long as they have a clear line of sight which he already did, but he called out to him and made sure that the last thing he saw was a clone defying him 🫡

Literally did the EXACT same thing. I’m not that kind of person 😂

You know, I'm not a very aggressive person, nor do I condone violence, buuuuuuuut... I kinda, sorta, somehow, a little bit screamed "YES" at the top of my lungs when he pulled that trigger

Crosshair and Mayday in The Bad Batch | 2.12 The Outpost

Real quick post:

At some point when talking about the Jedi and the Prequels and Star Wars, I feel like there's distinctions that need to be made.

There's George Lucas' Star Wars.

And then there's Star Wars the transmedia franchise.

They are not one and the same.

They have similar messages. Depending on which continuity you go for, the message is more or less alike (Disney canon's treatment of the Jedi Order is slightly more aligned with GL's vision than the Legends canon was).

But they are not the same.

George Lucas' Star Wars is just the six films and the first six seasons of TCW which serve as an addendum to the six films, and the values and messages that derive from them.

The transmedia franchise has those values, but they've been diluted through comics and novels and games and authors who don't agree with GL's vision and authors who tweaked it a bit and retcons until it's no longer the same thing.

Which takes us to "did the Jedi deserve to fall" and the answers:

"no, but the institution needed to go"

There is NOTHING to indicate that read in George Lucas' Star Wars.

If you go by the movies ONLY, then the Jedi are in the right, and what happens to them is tragic, and I don't just mean Order 66.

The movies' narrative literally frames them - as a people, a religion and an institution - (and Bail Organa) as objectively good and the only ones trying to do what's right.

However, some of the marketing and storylines and comics and books presented in the EU and in new canon do support this POV.

If you count those as "just as valid and canon as the films and shows" then you'll have a very different view of the Jedi Order.

"yes, for what they did to Ahsoka".

Ahsoka is part of TCW.

If your Star Wars is the same as Lucas', then TCW is meant to be an asterisk in the larger story, nothing more than a footnote.

As such, Ahsoka's part is NOT that big, her being on Mandalore or being expelled from the Jedi Order is NOT a contributing factor for Anakin's turn to the Dark Side.

Ahsoka is NOT a part of the Prequels, which represent KEY moments in Anakin's life and the Republic's downfall.

But for many, Star Wars is the transmedia franchise. And TCW and the Prequel films are one and the same. So Ahsoka's treatment factors into the judgment.

If you add TCW's stories to the mix, welp, the show certainly questions them here and there, showing the war corrupted their values (because it was designed to do so) but in the first six seasons it does so in a fair manner showing both sides of the argument.

They're framed as caught between a rock and a hard place. They HAVE to do the very thing they didn't wanna do or people get enslaved and get killed.

TCW does what it was meant to do: it adds footnotes, it shows unfortunate downsides. It's not meant to define what is seen in the films.

Whereas by the time we're in Season 7 and Lucas is no longer involved, we get this:

They could do better but choose not to because they're playing politics. That's it.

Which is what I mean when I'm talking about the franchise: it has grown past George Lucas' vision, for better or for worse.

For some, TCW redefines what is seen in the films.
