Clone Wars        Slaves of the Republic
Chil-dren
     Children are slaves
     Contin        -uing          on,                  That’s            Kin             da-
     Narrator
  (smarter than Anakin)
   It hasn’t been for several years           though right?
  Z-y      ger-i         a-  
  Seriously         you guys co -exist       and have a giant council,
    How did no one       notice this shit?
   Also if they’re         Sep-ar            Tist-             -      they have a   govern     -ment-
   So, is this some kind of   iron   curtain?
  Se-      riously?        -         How?
Also why is     Rex       or Cody?      —       Okay, seriously what is up with the    uniform?          -        Where’d you even get that from?
    There’s one dude,
   And if it was from like a secret         stash of disguises?
    Wouldn’t that be          several years          out of date?
   Like,      What?           -        You’re better off not doing the    dis-guises
    Also, geez a lot of assumptions like one       extremist made a claim and now the whole planet has the       burn           ...     Like seriously it’s in      char-        acter,
   But this means Obi-Wan was only agreeing with her because he knows her personally
    (’Her’ being            Man-             dal             Or              Ia             N       Duchess,’)
   Those are    ships
   What- music-
    Why?
 The music is just      nope,
   Bor        der-        Ing-          On-         .        Seriously     why is he here?           .          What is with the          clothing ?
       Why?
        Seriously, how is that going to           fool anyone,
         They’re-
       I don’t like the lack of logic            already in this episode,
  Why?
  ‘you’ll be so distracted by that she won’t notice that we completely invaded her kingdom wearing the uniform (possibly 10 years out of date) of her guard and do not at all look like a species
        Or anyone     she hi       -re         -d
     (And somehow     won’t get stabbed to death)
  Oh, 
   And       Ahsoka,
   Sl-ave
    Y-eah,
    Also why is       she wearing face coverings?
   Like, didn’t seem to be a       custom?
    Odd         Dis         guise
    (I guess anything covering features would         give her less of a chance of being           recognized)
      (Yeah but you know more about the emotions involved,             And probably would be better acting at it)
           Ma-ster
             No,
           Damn      she just scorch     ed his teaching
         Boomers,             Don’t know                  shit
            Why is it                  blue?
            Why is there a               dragon thing?                     -  
I don’t know     Ah-soka why don’t you ask the     clone you’re work      -ing with,              Or remember how they raised you for the sole purpose of serving their system
     Fighting for it
      This
  Oh great   did she tell you that information  ?
    (Instead of         y’know        fixing the damn problem,”
       Yeah,            Sucks,
      Oh they actually        brought that up,
     Okay, I deduct that point           (Slight               ly,)                -                Invit            -ation                  -                 Fair
          Brig              -and
         Again what makes them think that this is anything more than an        extremist ?
        Like, how is that        important?
       Halt,
     What,
     That          thi-ng,                ?
        Again           what?
           ?
   Also yeah the uniforms look      significantly different?
       That mean              anything?
        Again
        Oh, so those            birds are native ?
        Or, Other            Wise-
       Se-        riously           what?
       Not exactly how         attraction works,           Which I think is          what they were trying to             imply there,
      There needed to be more of a       look over-              Or                Him      taking off his hat               (For that                gasp reaction,)
            Also yeah        a newly minted slave would totally                   bow,                      To their oppressor,
               That’s                   something Anakin,                  should be doing,
               Ah, did you not send from                        your-self?                          That would’ve been more of a rea-lis-      tic scene for        the drinks line,
     Ha-           tred             -          Yeah no this is a really bad       job,
     Yeah, there’s no way       she’s falling for this,
  ‘This is he      he’s cute so I’ll play along,
      There’s, no other way this     isn’t ending with a dagger to a neck,
      Wa- rrior
      Oh she’s      talking about Ana                             -kin
  Stock,
  Again he literally sent you the    whole population of the planet,
   So, I don’t think he was that       specific,
   You know   it’s a good thing         Ahsoka’s as an adult            Because this would be highly      disturbing with any other      alternative..
   Also I guess that kind of makes sense as           the shock wearing off 
     but she definitely wouldn’t be that wild,
     Mo-
     Pro-cessed
    Yeah there’s      no way lady is falling for this,
    That’s     got dragged into it        temperament,
     Point,          It’s           Not-
     It’s         not          fitting        ‘ I know you’re         bull-     shitting me,”
    Her,
  Yeah there’s      no way,      she’s falling for this,
   (Anyone   would probably have a let’s see      where this leads,
   This-            Isn’t             It-
      You know this flir-            ting is better than anything that happens with    Padme-
       Like     it’s at least got the tone       -right
     Good
       But also no
      She’s significantly older than him and...  toxic,
       I’m going with     tox        -ic          -         Also- yeah 
   Anakin is definitely a lot better       at this-
 Ah-       soka          -            Not          even bothering        with it,
      Ai
         Again,       Why is this so much better than anything with       Pad-me,
  Like it’s toxic          -     but it holds them both accountable,
  Generally a lot      better writt          -en
   (Hopefully they were going for they don’t actually love each other      they just like breaking the rul-es)
   Because-       I can’t see it as any       -thing          else          Now,
   (Or even then,)
     Da-          Mn-
  W-e
  Yeah dude      it’s clear that she’s faking,
   What’s a        Hutt?
   Mm
  What?
  Also yeah no one questioned them about their     human appearance-
   Why-
 Ob-vious
  Also, yeah what are they even doing     bury-ing them alive,
         Why-
        Obi-Wan acts a lot more sus instead of just staying down in the pit with him under the guise of screwing with a prisoner
        Also yeah      I can’t blame him,
           She’s an adult
  Bru-tal
     Tox          -ic
       Also,           You          figured out the price between you two                That   should be     a lot more dramatic,
     They’re adults.
       Gi-
       Also yeah        no way she’s falling for that           -                 Also yeah   where did his name come from?            -          Like did they give an           alias at some point?           -         Cause is Lars just seems to come out of the air-
   [they told them that they knew said dude, Anakin talked with the queen but I can’t- but he didn’t mention her name-
      Me
     Again this is pretty good 
   though the tone did drop there a little,
   She’s        screwing with him-
     Yeah,          I’d be worried about him drinking the Kool-Aid right about now         too
     [he already drank the Generational Overstep one           ]
    We-ll
   P-
  Holo-
  What       -       Sl-        aves        -       Uhm,
   Sucks          . .      that he decided to enable that shitty system
    Accoun-    tability is always better,
    But if he dies the system of his        own making it his own fault,
      ?
      -  also yeah     now we’re sussing out the human targets,
         Ye-ah
 Yeah       no she’s definitely fucking with them,
   Also you’re telling me they didn’t notice him from the       white republic ass       robes?
      (Or did they just          give that to him?)
     Sub-mission
     Yes      she’s right,
  Mhm, loving this ro-     ast of Kenobi right now,
     It’s still said by a         worse enable
     So not too sweet
      But it      hits a spot,
       Any          way,
      Aight
Well isn’t this Anakin’s fantasy,     finally his anger out on his abuser              (Vent-ing)
           Hm,
           Yea-
             O-k
             Ok
            Seriously that is damn light
            Call-ing him a                   boomer
              Then they’re both enabling old Gen                     So pretty past the                  redemption mark,
                 But,                    Still,
Cath,arsis      is nice,  
B-ack
 W-h
 Yeah,        see      she      knew          it      was        bull,         shit-
    D-ie
   Wh-elp-           -          A more realistic relationship                   (toxic)
              High                  -                  Well
(Also when did the      clone get back?)
        Well,
      Also R2-D2 has the capabilities of a           projectile              launch                -er                  -               G           -uard                -              A-i
        Whe-
       Whe-n?
       Okay?
      D-amn      
      A-gain
      Exp-ression going a little          Looney Tunes        the-           re-
     (I should be able to read           their ex-           pression,”
]
 How?
  Did      that?
   She wasn’t wearing a     shock collar,
   And we didn’t see her gets sent to processing with that kind of thing would be implemented,
   Ser-
    Oof           -          Rex?           -        Freckin         down,
     Oof,
   W-h-         elp
   Again     emotion?
        [what’s              the           emotion?]
      W-h                  Oh-    
       I thought that was         pretty neat~ 
       Th-em      
      Da-mn   
     Also,             friends,         His       poisonous        en-abler          who        groomed          him          to            be          a child soldier,        And someone from a        younger       generation,         Who he groomed to be a child soldier,           Great         freck           ‘in           friends,               W-    
     Hey, that’s              some thing,              Mis-             s-             ion             .    
      Again has anyone been taking the mission        seriously            .         ever?         ..         At any point?   
     Anakin‘s been hecking around with this                      Obi-Wan decided screw            Subtlety, and went for             one guy,    
        And Ahsoka’s been been            be               grud               G                    Ing                        Ly                       -                      Putting                         up                      with                        it-                        ...                    Gen                          eral                         . . .                          Ser                          -vant                              -                                 Okay the tone just went into                               gar-                                 g-                               ,ling                               marbles,                                  And the                                   expression                                          is                                   neutral                                     (at                                      best)                                                                            What                                         the                                         hell?
   (Seriously why whenever Anakin‘s unfortunate childhood            it turns into gargling marbles?
        Like I can’t even tell what               emotion that is
     Either way    it’s just not how people talk,           Voice possibly getting         lower,          Not         what th             is- is
She is right - he has enabled a terrible system and continue(s - to be Obi- wan and the Council’s         bitch         (Non   identification          term,)
       Me
      Power
 Hey, no     difference from Obi-Wan,
      Great,
       Here,    The Boomer bait     Obi-Wan gave me,     Promising a place in      their screwed up           Future,       That I traded it then          Future            Now             Present              Ahsoka      ’s           (Chance)         at          A            Non-       (Completely)        Feck      -e-d              Child                 hood                 For,                  Thank       -s
   (Totally not a servant)
      Despite the      very conditional nature of         that agreement
              Also I real-ly like what they did there,      Anakin not being a slave         (Like he       said,
      Like in childhood)
              Now just being        a willing          servant,
        Really showing the         Modi    -cum      Of         Diff        er        en         ce         Be-tween    Being unwittingly       ordered         into it,                  And      (continued)     choosing to           enable it
       Fri-en          d-s
         Well that’s better for Ahsoka than literally anything Anakin and Obi-Wan have done for her
         Con-stantly              putting her in harms way-
         (Not giving a shit       about the child soldier thing)
          Great
          Why?
I don’t   honestly don’t get the idea behind the get up
As seen none of the   other     [of her     species]      Is     wearing     similar   get up
 Just-      doesn’t        add       up,-
  Aight
   Seems-         fine-  
     More hassle to get        food and water and        everything else up there to be        quite honest,
    Also seriously what is up with the wildlife?
   Like we have the cute        squishy things?
   And then        these?
    How?
   Promised
    Also,      That really     didn’t sound        too malicious         ...      Don’t get me wrong I think      I know what they’re trying to imply,
   But dude here’s suffering from          Clovis syndrome,
    Aka the tone just isn’t       carry          -ing           —-           There doesn’t seem to be any   malician     .behind what he just said,
   Like dude sounded like he said      “mine” as in mine for       board game night,
   “sk         -ug,”         Ok,     that’s Malacian      but it’s not the        right        kind,
       That just sounds          mildly offensive
                Non                    committal
                 Doesn’t really connect with    the tone of the previous sentence,
    Which was         like;           ‘The queen has promised you to me       how do you feel about it?’
      That, just coming            out of nowhere,
         Not carrying
        W-help
         A-         Ight-
         Not even             -consistent
           Like seriously,
       If you’re going to do a flat character              like that;
            At least try to do it                consistently;          Like dude went from “lust”, (I’m assuming it seems more like self-  conscious/doubt) to me then off-hand        Passive aggressiveness, then       Disciplinary,         Without so much          Of a pre-            empt       (Not        prompt,)                We never saw that        conscious          -ness               turn                to           aloofness,               Then cold rage,              pushing the button                   no shift,                     Only                impromptu                    jump,
            Shame would’ve been interesting if Ahsoka had a Clovis like friend,
            (I don’t know                  his age,)
                Again,
                Re-action?
  What am I supposed to feel          what, emotion is that
       I have           no clue,
      Well,         Why?
   [Why-
       ?
     Who is        this guy?
      A slave           owner/buy               -er?
        Whel-
        We’ve       found them
         No you were brought to them            -by force-
          Also where is the dude              that was just in a chair?
            Where?
           [also wow for Rex this must feel a                return ho                              me-
    Oh-but-
     Okay, not gonna          question it,
        Jedi
         -             Also yeah that was the question what their education of their youth actually is like
   *Groom            Ing
      Like the      propaganda        must be         damn          thick,
         As well as         the child abuse                    (If this is the state of society and seeing how they can see another         adult human being              (Sen             -tient)                 Yeah there’s no way those kids are in good condition,
            Also this dude comes off as such a              doof,
              Like not even remotely intim-              idating-                      -                  Well,                   Fuck
(Also yeah I’m pretty sure the         queen is going to be real fucking pleased that you just wasted a bunch of        stock
 Of a trade that is just getting back up and running again
 Also yeah     Kenobi really fucked this one up      -     His job to find them-       Fecked that      up-          -          Atten       -tion               -           Worst. way to get        attention         ever,
      You
  See, they’re specifically doing this to        mess with him-          -            De-fy
   And Obi-wan was then     allowed to wander off,
   While dude     spun the wrong way in his chair,
      Wh-
      Wh-at
      Why?
     Rom-antic     ?
    Lady that’s like pointing and saying you were once an abuse victim weren’t you?
    Like, very likely
  With the council, the clones            At least two slave               states                 (Planets)
       I think the only way you could get                 “vagu-er”                       Is saying                 child soldier,                       Sl-ave
  Being a slave      doesn’t make you       naturally virtuous,
    With      abusers,      it makes you pissed off
      Others,          Ty-pica               ll           y            Fine,
   But again that’s not guaranteed,
   Ex-abuse victims can still enable the abusers-
       And-
   [There’s just a lot of problems with this that I’m kind of     gargling,]
    Point being you can’t tell      something like that,
    And      suffering doesn’t make you more       virtuous,
          (Just means normal human decency stand out a lot more in the   darkness of degeneracy,
        Any,            Way,
   Groom         Ing
    Oh
   So they are actually       fram-          ing that it’s a bad thing,
     Good, cause it is
  Obi-Wan is a grooming frick
   And Ahsoka is a child robb         -ed of her child-            hood-
      By the council and implied to be              by Anakin              (Who did nothing and enabled it long past the point of        return,)
      Self-
     And literally        every-one             else                 (Inc-luding              the abuser        as we just saw)
         Self-           destruction            (and           enabling                it)             is a shit time,
             Be            Absolutely nothing besides a toxic enabler      upon a pile of rubble,
   It’s damn       useless,
    Oh, that’s almost           flirt              Ing-
That’s really dramatic music        for FLYING Frogs,
        Stay
        Again, he’s not       terribly opposed to this,
    -it
    Again, that came out of nowhere
    Like Anakin slavery hangups are the equivalent of an           on and off switch
     * Note, a reason.                To,              Slavery is bad         objectif             ication of other humans is bad,               Don’t do it,
          I called them hangups just to denote the fact            that there never anything,                  im-portant,                consistent or some thing he sticks by,
             Being perfectly fine with this        flirt      -ing        off the clock
    With a sl             -aver             -             Only occurring at random with no reuniting theme
         And literally just sounds like the writers,             Shou-ting-               “ Hey guys remember Anakin was a             slave?”
           Yes and while that can cause            rush-es of             e-motion
            None of that                 is shown,
            We don’t see Anakin clenching his fist and it building up that resent       -ment-
         We don’t see him fighting              the idea,                 that the            Jedi just use him,                 Like his               old slave                master-
                We don’t       see any emotion,
              It’s just dull
              Not like an emotional dull
              Like an unemotional one,
                            There’s not        h-ing
                            Which is a shame because there should be a lot of emotion here-
         And there’s not-
     She’s          Right,
     And Anakin is an          inhuman        abomination,            That can’t even           manage an emotion,
     (Might want to try          someone else)
        Really?
        Because he hasn’t managed a single emotion or       conflict this entire time,
        Unless you mean biologically complicated in that case yes how the feck does this man work?
        Adult people are             very emotional,              Dude can’t          even manage a bit of it
   - His expressions        are damn atrocities
      (Of logic!)
     (And        ,empathy)
   Again      Emotion,
  Well I will give this episode the benefit,        It’s the episode that got things the            closest thing to right             (Greivous’s lair,           Not          withstanding)                In terms of tone, 
       Near the middle
    (Before promptly          coming crashing down to the ground,)
     Unfortunately considering the rest of the episodes that isn’t really high  praise
      The thing about tone is I need to be able to understand what emotions your char-acters are feeling and being por-tray-ed in about every scene,
       And,           You can’t cut corners
       And hav-ing switching emotional        moods            With             out              pre            empt              or under-              standing,
        Still passing the threshold of being a              good story;
          -Co-herent tale that can be followed
          - doesn’t normalize        problematic or self-destructive                   Behavior
         However not one of a fun story;
       Leaving me with the persistent fee-      ling of chew-            Ing metal
      Mildly      irritating,        Clunky,          And not the least bit entertaining        or of any value                 (Much)
     That it has yet to          rise above
