Why donāt we talk aboutĀ āyou wanna go home a rethink your lifeā more? Apart from being hilarious, itās a great little nugget of Jedism and the implications are just,,, so much. Obi-Wan wasnāt pissed, didnāt judge, frankly was barely paying attention, and he didnāt really influence the guy towards a particular outcome - he just made him think.Ā
Just how often do Jedi do that? Walk past people doing shady things, go āoh boy, they could do so much betterā and just casually tell them to think.
Itās hysterical when you consider it - when Jedi are too busy to deal with you and need to extricate themselves from the situation, sometimes theyāll just psychically convince you to work on bettering yourself. Imagine: youāre a random scumbag going about your own dirty business, and one day the hem of a brown cloak brushes against your leg, and youāre hit with the sudden desire to reflect on every mistake youāve made, find yourself a reputable job, quit drinking, repair your relationship with your parents and go make up with your wife - and you never figure out what happened.
just because Iām currently writing a scene in coruscant I feel like the way the city filled with people who live next to jedi doesnāt get explored enough
like that kid ended up having that interaction because obi wan and anakin jumped out of a senatorās window chasing a droid and ended up several levels down while on a mission, but like
jedi live in coruscant and so there would be watering holes that have jedi regular and markets that sell the good tabard that jedi shop at and there would be a bunch of people whose apartments or officers were in the right spot to see jedi younglings and masters alike falling passed their window because they couldnāt be bothered to grab a turbo lift and it just makes me so amused to think about how there would be so many coruscanti residents who are like āJedi are so unapproachable in their lofty towersā and other coruscanti who are likeā a tourist stuck in traffic on the speedway who just had a jedi fall onto the bonnet of their speeder and then jump off again while cackling, shortly followed by another one who is hollering about their new dye-job (their long padawan braid actually looks lovely in green) and someone the next lane over is like āyour first padawan catch, I take it? this is just how they learn, you get used to it. itās when the Jedi Masters are in a hurry that you really get a heart attack. How they have such a serious and stoic reputation Iāll never know. Anyway, welcome to Coruscant, baby!ā
