#blue guard

i like to think that the Coruscant Guard, Jedi Temple Guards, and Senate Guard don't all necessarily hate each other, but just argue a good bit and are generally passive aggressive towards each other while also collaborating to get jobs done. The CG and SG tend to work together just fine and the most; neither really work with the TG that often and consider them "strange but efficient". Also, by coincidence, the Commanders and Lieutenants of the CG interact with the SG more once they become the Red Guard, but "got along" better with the Blue Guard, and the TG interacts with them even less (so basically never) after this change. Smaller hc, but the CG (mostly the younger ones) started absorbing a handful of slang and speech patterns from the more relaxed SG members before the change.

i do like to think that the Senate Guard (Blue) sort of have to “teach” the clones the more nuanced / messy parts of the job that don’t get covered or taught to them as soldiers, and I personally don’t see this idea explored that much even though it makes a lot of sense. Sure, angst potential of having to learn quickly under threats, general complications with information the SG and CG are supposed to keep from each other and anti-clone sentiments, and i might just not be looking hard enough, but I feel like there are way more specifics the higher-ranking clones had to be taught in at least the first month. Not even just from the SG, because we’ve seen clones working inside of areas non-SG members wouldn’t be but other professionals would, there had to have been other people that could have taught them even a few tips and tricks? And you could also explore the possibility that these people before the clones were laid off without much warning. I say all this, but what actually inspired this was a thought a few months ago of an anxious young Fox and an exhausted SG on a lunch break, discussing increasingly specific hypotheticals that Fox (and none of the clones, for that matter) had not been trained to handle, and then the camera cutting to a year later, with a new clone Guardsman asking the same hypotheticals to an exhausted Fox.
