Before I get into the reply proper I just have to say that I love this! I haven’t had anyone to properly discuss Star Wars stuff with in ages and this is just 💜
Yeah, that’s exactly the impression I get! So many of the books show worlds that the had the empire promise them so much and then turn on them. Planets like Wobani and Onderon come to mind off the top of my head, and the world Ashoka went to in here novel and the one from Jyn’s. And, of course, the awfulness of Kashyyyk.
(I’d love to read servants but have never been able to find it which sucks.)
That would be an interesting thing to see. Because Coruscant is the capital and would have the strongest propaganda you’d expect them not to be celebrating as much as they are. Clearly by that time Palpatine’s persona had been tarnished completely for that.
I love that the interludes in Aftermath give us some sense of what things are like on worlds like Coruscant at the time, but alas it’s all too brief.
And, on an unrelated not (well, semi related since it’s Coruscant). I just love that the new canon had Palpatine’s palace be the Jedi temple, I just think that was genius.
Thanks! Like I said I watched it recently so Such thoughts are in my head.
Yeah, we see how worse off things get with Palpatine in charge so we know it was worth the risk (just like they did). One think I do dislike about that scene is how quick the others are dispatched (especially Kit, I love kit). I know he caught them off guard but still...
Yeah that was my thinking too. I figured that the Jedi would lose authority at first, but the moment a full investigation reveals the truth, they’d gain credibility back. And yeah, can you imagine what the republic would have been with competent people like them in charge?
Yeah after the clone wars I think they would have loved to get their responsibilities diminished, back to just keeping the peace or even just meditating and teaching. Exactly! The war took such a toll on the Jedi, with the losses and the death (and some turning) that they would have longed for a chance to heal.
