Everyone else is sick of my TCW rants

I'm thinking about the nulls' grudge against the kaminoans again. It seems to me like something that calcified throughout their childhood and was encouraged by multiple factors. and why wouldnt they have a grudge honestly? your preschool teacher decides you arent a satisfactory toddler and does a bunch of evil shit to you and then tries to have you killed. and when they can't get away with that they just come back as your kindergarten and first grade and so on teachers and all they want now is to try and make you more satisfactory? first of all thats suspicious to the mind of a child. second of all the unresolved conflict of all of that is insane, it's like an infected wound. the kind of stuff that would easily make a bunch of kids extremely stubborn and hateful. it's very enraging to be assigned crazy at that age, especially when it's because of behaviors that developed from things they had no choice in. frustrating to have to deal with your own failed experiments all the time, twice as suffocating to be the failed experiment and still expected to perform for beings that you know see very little value in you. there is a kind of instinctive urge to provoke that is created from that I think. especially when their reactive behavior is likely the main excuse in writing to use more abusive tactics. ask a null for compliance and he will make you treat him how you used to, before it could be determined his fault, before there was anyone else around to see or care about it. there is no moving on.

Dooku’s father beating his ass for being force sensitive and Cosinga Palpatine immediately picking up that Palpatine was different and hating him is so interesting. It’s just unfortunate that being force sensitive outside of being a Jedi or sith isn’t explored. It’s like that one good moment in the last Jedi when the kid uses the force to move the broom. Just makes me think of the kids growing up without the guidance the Jedi order provided.

Actually I can imagine the galaxy finding out Palpatine was force sensitive would have a really bad impact on the way they see force sensitives. Like they already hated the Jedi for the clone war, but imagine finding out the emperor was force sensitive on top of Vader being exposed as a former Jedi AND the poster boy of the war they already resented the Jedi over.

I think Luke’s small isolated attempt at restarting the Jedi order is pretty realistic. It would have failed at being in anyway as influential or accepted as the old order, and could even be used to maintain the jedi’s underdog status without just doing the empire again. It would have been a lot of fun to explore if they’d thought about it more instead of just retreading the same shit.
