i hope that you guys know that when i talk about love i'm not talking about romance. i'm talking about a thing that goes beyond the boundaries of 'romantic' or 'familial' or 'platonic'. it's the thing that lives inside of all of us, thats inate in all human beings. its not about your relationship to that person. its about finding a thing, or a animal or a person, and feeling something ancient for them, in spite of your relationship. when people talk about romantic love they often arent actually talking about love. its a copy of a copy.

theres something inside all of us, that in the right circumstances will have you do the impossible to try and save someone, or even just to show them a bit of kindness when you know they cant be saved. you dont need to share blood for that to come in to being, you dont need to be attracted to them, you dont even need to like them. sometimes, something happens to bring it out in you and then its just there. you want the best for them (even if you might not know what that is) and you are suddenly willing to go beyond the limits of what it means to be human to make that happen.

most of the time the circumstances of the moment dont require any supernatural feat. but if they did, you might just try. its not a conscious thing. you just would. because the moment you love someone, be they a stranger on a bus, family, your partner, your friend, or just an acquaintance of circumstance; you're unconciously reminded that to love is to BE human. we live in order to love. you'd do the impossible, because you'd do anything to keep that love alive, because if not, why are you living? why have you survived up until that point and what is the point of continuing to do so.

I'm Jedi Critical until the day I die, but the one thing I can fully agree with the Jedi defenders on is that Mace Windu really got screwed over by both the movies and the fandom. He wasn't even that mean to Anakin compared to someone like Yoda, who was a lot harsher to Anakin imo. All of Windu's concerns about Anakin are justified. He's skeptical about Anakin being the Chosen One because there is absolutely no evidence for that other than Anakin being more powerful than the average Jedi. I honestly think Windu was looking out for Anakin in his own way. He's basically saying it's not smart to put all the Jedi's eggs in one "chosen one" basket, which is true. If more people had treated Anakin like a normal Jedi the way Mace does, he wouldn't have been under so much pressure. And I don't think it's "mean" at all to say that a 23 year old is not emotionally mature enough to be a master. It's kind of true, especially based on Anakin's actions.

Like, I think the Jedi screwed Anakin over in a number of ways, but I don't get why the fandom targets Mace specifically? I honestly think he was trying to do the best thing for Anakin. And I like to think that they were genuinely friendly with each other. They almost died together in CW. That's gotta be a pretty big bonding experience.

I don't think the fact that Jango went after Mace specifically comes up enough when discussing his death at Mace's hands

Jango only deliberately entered the battlefield after Mace had lost his lightsaber, before that he otherwise stayed out of the fight (unless someone came close, like Coleman Trebor did, but I think that falls more under guarding his paycheck), and he had no reason to join in, he wasn't getting paid for this, his job was to be the genetic source for a Clone army and kill a senator, both were handled, there was no further obligation for Jango here

Sure you could say that maybe Dooku offered Jango another paycheck if he joined in the fight but there's no indication for that in anything, not the film itself, its novelizations, deleted scenes, or drafts, and there's nothing from non-aotc material to suggest show either

So jango jumped in on his own, why?

Well aside from opportunism in the form of a disarmed Jedi, I believe Jango was being a pissy little petty bitch

Why?

This is why:

When Mace shows up the first thing he does is put his blade to Jango's neck, a warning not to try anything, and I believe Jango felt slighted and or insulted by this, and took it really personally

And instead of just letting it go, collecting his pay, taking his kid and leaving, Jango was consumed by a petty grudge, and he sought to even the score, which cost him dearly

And no, the true mandos and galidraan do not factor into this, because those are not canon to Attack of the Clones, Jango is not a mandalorian sole survivor with a grudge against the Jedi in aotc, Jango in aotc is a bounty hunter with distinctive armor hired to be a genetic donor to a clone army and assassinate a senator

I think this Mace Windu saw something in visions and somehow became more aggressive

It's the mystery of the Force.

[feinfeinfeinfeinfein]

what does mace windu have against one-parented children, recently had been separated from/witnessed the death of said one parent??? (yes, i am talking about anakin and boba)

will i ever get over that one scene in clone wars when a recently-abandoned boba says to windu that he started it when he killed his father, to which windu replies with "get over it 😜" and promptly gets him escorted to prison? hmm.... no.
