COMMANDER CODY IS FLAWLESS IN EVERY WAY.

Anakin can feel the torment, rage, hurt, and anger within Obi-Wan.  And why does no one give him shit about it, despite that Bant and Mace Windu are right there?  Because it’s not about that, it’s never been about denying that sometimes people get angry.  It’s not about that they don’t trust Anakin or treat him unfairly. It’s because Obi-Wan lowers his lightsaber and gets himself back under control. He doesn’t fling anyone into a wall to knock them out (like Anakin did at least three times in this book), he doesn’t bring the ceiling down on their heads when he lashes out with the Force (as Anakin also did), but instead he lowers his weapon, calms the hell down, and acts out of a good place, instead of an angry place.  If he had knocked Bant into a coral bulkhead like Anakin had done, then, yeah, he should get reprimanded and told to get himself under control. This is further evidenced by how the only time the “Jedi Code” is used in this book–despite that, if the Jedi didn’t allow emotions, when Anakin lashes out, they could easily say, “Jedi aren’t supposed to have emotions!” but they don’t, they say, “Get yourself under control!”–is when he’s trying to reach the Force to hear its whisper.  It’s never associated with telling Anakin to stop feeling things, not even when Anakin literally collapses the room around them and Yoda has to save them from getting crushed.  All that they say is after that terrible display of how emotions can literally put people in danger, is, “You must learn to control your emotions.” That’s it, that’s what the Jedi want. To calm your fucking tits before you hurt someone, given all that power roiling through you.

LOOK AT HOW VADER’S SHIP DWARFS THOSE OTHER SHIPS.  AND THEY’RE NOT SMALL! LOOK HOW THE SHOT OF THAT SHIP CHASING THE TANTIVE JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON. These are ships that can hold tends of thousands of people–to say nothing of what the scale of the Death Star would be!–and I wish there was a way to more directly experience that, because it would be the nerdiest and fucking BEST THING EVER to feel like you’re going to shit yourself and really understand just what Jedha or Alderaan experienced.

I REALLY LOVE THE PARALLELS AND CONTRASTS GOING ON HERE??? When you read the Obi-Wan and Jango comics back to back, you see the parallels of two characters teaching those who are going to be their legacy in the early days of that training.  You see two characters attacked and their young charge held hostage and the mentor/father trusting that their charge can handle themselves–and they do rise to the occasion. You see two characters who are in similar circumstances, who genuinely care about their charges, and yet in some ways could not be more different. Jango explicitly doesn’t care about the other clones, they’re not his project, nor is he part of the Mandalorian culture even as far back as the making of AOTC.  Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is very much a Jedi and part of their culture and cares deeply about the religion/culture he is part of. Jango and Boba are attacked because of who they are, bounty hunters who have made a lot of enemies in the galaxy through their actions and the profession they chose.  The alien woman they’re kidnapping (to take back to her father) isn’t someone they’re helping, they’re stunning her and dragging her back. Obi-Wan and Anakin are attacked because of what they are, that Jedi are inherently in danger in the galaxy because people want Force-sensitive slaves and test subjects as previous comics have established, because Jedi lightsabers will fetch a good price, not because of anything they’ve done to these pirates.  The alien woman they helped asked for them to be there and is better off for their help. Both Obi-Wan and Jango praise Anakin and Boba, they both have legacy looming over them, but the entire point of the Obi-Wan comic was him adapting to what Anakin needs from him, talking to him genuinely and with warmth.  Jango instead is focused on that legacy, about what he wants Boba to be, about what he cares about, isolated from any kind of bigger culture or family. Similar stories, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, they echo and rhyme even in their inverted stories of each other.

Please look at the contestants for the upcoming season of The Bachelor and laugh with me.
