The number one thing I find to be missing from discussions about Galidraan right now is the way in which Jango and Dooku mirror each other in it. let's be real it's because 90% of people discussing it haven't read the comic
You know that scene in the phantom menace where there's a bunch of sea monsters eating each other and Qui Gon comments "There's always a bigger fish"? Galidraan is shown like a human version of that.
The chapter opens on Jango and his men gunning down some unnamed people. They clean up- kill them all- and then he goes to the governor to collect his paycheck. It's a trap, with the job as the bait. The jedi show up. They've also been baited. Slightly different bait- money vs a cry for help, but also essentially the same. There's a band of insurgents causing problems, I'll pay you to get rid of them. There's a band of rogue mandos killing people, please help me I'm defenseless.
It's implied that the political activists Jango's men were executing are combatants- or at least that they weren't children. Jango and his men are also all of them, to a man, combatants. If it was wrong for Jango's soldiers to die like this, then it follows that it must be equally wrong for the men of Galidraan to die at their hands. They're the same they're the same they're the same.
there's no equivalent scene where the people of galidraan attack first
Jango takes the bait, kills a bunch of people, Dooku takes the bait and kills a bunch of people. It's irony. It's dying by the sword you live by. It's violence begets violence begets violence. It's the martial life. It's the idea that killing combatants is an honorable form of violence coming up against the concept that it's still a tragedy for those combatants. It's a big fish eating a little fish and then immediately being eaten by an even bigger fish, and all of them are lured by fishbait.
