Panel redraw! I felt obligated to offer some sort of contribution to the most recent update. I'm glad we got to see so much of Legend and Hyrule. I'm excited to see what the rest are up to, but I know i'll miss the sillies. Especially this silly 😢

Why yes, I do see a certain number of similarities between end-game Groose and Sidon, why do you ask?

A nice reunion between flying type Pokémon <3

This is mainly for me to use later since I have a lot of Fox haters in my TikTok comments sometimes, but I know there are still some Fox haters on here too. Leave my boy alone, y’all. Here’s why you should leave him alone. 

1. The Fives Incident 

Most of the hate directed at Fox is because he killed Fives. No, I don’t think Fives deserved to die, I love Fives a lot, but Fox shouldn’t be blamed for what happened. I’ll get into my personal theories in a minute, but here’s the reason Fox shouldn’t be hated, even if we’re going strictly on what we’re shown in canon. Even if Fox knew his blaster was on kill, he had no evidence to point to the fact that Fives wasn’t insane. He didn’t know Fives, so all he had to go on were reports and what Palpatine told him. From his perspective, Fives was a dangerous traitor. Palpatine told Fox to kill Fives, it’s unlikely he didn’t after that little clip of Palpatine and Fox before Fox goes to that warehouse. When Fox entered that warehouse, he could have just shot Fives from the shadows, killing him without the confrontation, but he didn’t. He gave Fives a chance to surrender instead, so he may have been trying to take Fives alive. But when Fives picked up the blaster and pointed it at Fox, after Fox told him not to pick it up, Fox didn’t have much of a choice. It was Fives or Fox and his men, especially because any motion Fox made to switch his blaster to stun may have been interpreted by Fives as a threat since Fives wasn’t in his right mind. Fox was stuck in a bad situation, and neither Fives nor Fox deserved that. 

Now, I have a couple personal theories that make Fox even less in control of the situation, so I’ll get into the one I accept as the most plausible of my theories first. I believe Palpatine was in control of Fox when Fox’s squad entered the warehouse. It was likely through the inhibitor chip somehow, but Palpatine was in control of Fox and made him kill Fives. Fox doesn’t seem to be heartless toward his brothers, based on his reactions to his brothers’ deaths during the Wrong Jedi arc, so him willingly pulling the trigger on Fives seems unlikely in most circumstances. We know Palpatine would have wanted Fives dead anyway, so using Fox to do it just makes sense. The longer Fives was alive, the more likely it was that Fives would tell someone about Order 66, so Palpatine had to kill him to shut him up. 

Another theory is that Palpatine simply tampered with Fox’s blaster and switched it from stun to kill before Fox left to go to the warehouse or even while Fox was on the way there, but this seems a little more unlikely. Not impossible, just unlikely. 

2. The Wrong Jedi Arc 

I’ve also seen people hate on Fox for what he did during the Wrong Jedi arc, and I’ll admit that younger me was mad at Fox for some of that too, but I can’t blame him for any of it now. When he refused to let Anakin in to see Ahsoka, Fox had been given an order, and disobeying that order would get him punished. 

When he said to shoot to kill Ahsoka after she escaped, he gave that order as he knelt over bodies of his brothers that it looked like Ahsoka had killed. He didn’t know Ahsoka, so he wouldn’t know that Ahsoka cared about the clones too much to kill them like that. From what he knew, Ahsoka was a murderer, and had just killed some of his brothers, so of course he’s going to be upset and not want more of his brothers to be killed by her. And when Anakin gave him the order to use stun only, he obeyed, probably against his instincts. He was in a bad situation and going on what he knew, he wasn’t being heartless. He just wanted to protect his brothers and anyone else who might get hurt. 

3. “He Had An Easy Job” 

OKAY, LISTEN- This reason is honestly really weak, both based on canon and on my personal headcanons. First of all, Fox didn’t choose to work on Coruscant, he was assigned there, so even if his job was easy, that wasn’t his choice. Second, just because he wasn’t on the front lines doesn’t mean he had it easy. Safer, maybe in some regards, but not easy. Fox had to deal with all the chaos that went down on Coruscant daily, which was a lot. Riots, protests, the Zillo Beast, the Senate hostage debacle with Bane, and the power grid bombing are a few things that come to mind. That can’t have been easy to deal with. And we know many senators viewed the clones as little more than animals, so Fox and his men were likely verbally abused by both senators and civilians alike. That’s enough to damage anyone’s mental health and self-worth. And many of the Guards, Fox included, flinch at violent or sudden movements from non-clones. We don’t see any clones do this except for the Guard, so this leads me to believe they are physically abused as well.

I headcanon that Palpatine was cruel to the clones behind closed doors. Not just verbally, but also physically. Being a Sith, it wouldn’t surprise me if he punished clones who “failed” at something by torturing them with the Force. It wouldn’t be hard to make the clones never speak of it because they’d be afraid anyway, but Palpatine could likely just order them to forget the incident and they would have no choice but to obey because of the inhibitor chips. 

The Guards’ job as a whole may have been safer, but it was certainly not easy on their mental health and self-worth.
