Why donât we talk about âyou wanna go home a rethink your lifeâ more? Apart from being hilarious, itâs a great little nugget of Jedism and the implications are just,,, so much. Obi-Wan wasnât pissed, didnât judge, frankly was barely paying attention, and he didnât really influence the guy towards a particular outcome - he just made him think.Â
Just how often do Jedi do that? Walk past people doing shady things, go âoh boy, they could do so much betterâ and just casually tell them to think.
Itâs hysterical when you consider it - when Jedi are too busy to deal with you and need to extricate themselves from the situation, sometimes theyâll just psychically convince you to work on bettering yourself. Imagine: youâre a random scumbag going about your own dirty business, and one day the hem of a brown cloak brushes against your leg, and youâre hit with the sudden desire to reflect on every mistake youâve 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 Iâm currently writing a scene in coruscant I feel like the way the city filled with people who live next to jedi doesnât get explored enough
like that kid ended up having that interaction because obi wan and anakin jumped out of a senatorâs 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 couldnât 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 âJedi are so unapproachable in their lofty towersâ and other coruscanti who are likeâ 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 âyour first padawan catch, I take it? this is just how they learn, you get used to it. itâs when the Jedi Masters are in a hurry that you really get a heart attack. How they have such a serious and stoic reputation Iâll never know. Anyway, welcome to Coruscant, baby!â
