Fiyero's parents: Fiyero, son, why did you use the family computer to Google "the government's trying to murder my girlfriend, what do?"

Fiyero: Because the government's trying to murder my girlfriend and I don't what to do about it.

Fiyero's parents: We get that part, what we're trying to ask is why is the government trying to murder your girlfriend?

Fiyero: Oh, right, well you see, she may have had some disagreements with a few people in the Emerald City and said disagreements may have escalated. You'll understand when you meet her.

When they meet her

Elphaba: *heard one stray comment and is now in an hour long rant about corruption and prejudice in Oz's central government during which she has stopped two assassination attempts without pausing her diatribe*

Fiyero: *has his sword out on the off chance that she needs help and is looking at her in total awe the way one would behold a hundred waterfalls*

You, yes, you, are fearfully and wonderfully made.

God loves you.

Jesus didn't come to the world to condemn anyone, he came to save everyone.

The following day

Breaking News: It appears the Wicked Witch of the West, the Traitor Prince Fiyero Tigulaar, and a band of Winged Monkey deserters hijacked a train in the early hours of the morning and somehow managed to crash it into the Emerald City Palace.

Ash: I've been there.

Professor Kukui: You have?

Ash: Oh yeah, I got possessed by evil spirits there. :)

Anakin once told Ahsoka that the best way he knew to protect her was to teach her to protect herself. Following this logic Ahsoka concludes that the best well to keep the younglings safe in case of an attack is to make sure they're well armed. Naturally the Jedi at the temple don't agree with this and tell Ahsoka to stop giving literal children blasters, knives, bombs like it's candy and telling them to bite people. So, she decides to upgrade the Jedi temple's security instead without telling anyone other than the clones who she recruits to help. So now the Jedi Temple is basically the most heavily fortified building in Coruscant unbeknownst to the people living there which is a level of militarization that probably isn't the Jedi way but Ahsoka figured if Coruscant ever gets attacked (and it would be naive to assume it won't) the Jedi Temple would probably be one of the Separatists' main targets since if the Jedi have to protect the Temple they won't be able to protect the Senate. Ahsoka never tells anyone about this since she'd probably get in trouble if the Council found out so when Anakin and the mind controlled 501st goes to attack the Jedi Temple they have no clue about the booby traps and walk right into them which gives the Jedi Knights and Masters at the temple time to arrest them, figure out what's going on, evacuate, and get a message out to all the Jedi off world that haven't died to Order 66 yet explaining the situation. Granted this doesn't fix everything but it does mean the Jedi aren't entirely wiped out and have a chance to stop the rise of the Empire, Anakin doesn't murder all the Younglings, Anakin and Obi Wan never duel on Mustafar so there's still a chance to rehabilitate him and Padme probably survives giving birth just fine. All because the Jedi Council told Ahsoka not to give weapons to children.

In other words:

Every other Jedi: You gave the kids knives?!

Ahsoka: They told me they felt unsafe.

Every other Jedi: Well now we feel unsafe!

Dying is not fun, avoid it when possible

Don't get framed for terrorism

Always be ready to defy the government

If you have to blow up a droid factory while you're still inside stay in the super tank until you're rescued to avoid getting crushed

If you go to Geonosis check for brain worms

When escorting Younglings to get Kyber crystals watch out for pirates on the way back

If your opponent has twice the light sabers you do proceed with caution

If you realize the Sith Lord currently trying to kill you is actually your former Jedi Master try to remain calm
