I just…people still really don’t get it. We don’t get to direct the lives of public figures. We don’t get to tell them who to be, who to date, what causes to be vocal about. Because public figures are still just people. Real people. And internet keyboard warriors not only don’t see it they don’t give a fuck that bullying these real actual human beings does nothing to further whatever agenda they have but does wound the real person behind the persona. All they care about is the illusion of moral purity and that just. Isn’t real. No one is morally pure. Do your best but it’s not black and white. You’re fucking up too, just like whoever you’re attacking.

Had to get up at 5:30am
Quite a laugh today. George Lucas and Ewan McGregor
Ewan was just like I remembered him from pre-fame days - just friendly and jokey all the time. Chatted to me and everyone.
George Lucas was quiet and lost in Star Wars world.
Ewan McG said "If I'm a Jedi, how come I don't know he's a bad guy?" and George L. said "The dark side of the force is very dark and it stops you from seeing it."
u know those mutuals who you are like silent buddies with and you never talk to each other but you reblog each others stuff and when you see them on you’re dash you’re like yooooo thats my bud!!
“Who would become grand master of the order after Yoda?”
I think the unspoken order goes Yoda -> Mace -> Ki Adi Mundi as of PT, in an AU where the order survives longer it’d go Yoda -> Mace -> Obi Wan (older and more wise like in OT)
Mace def feels like he’d be looked to as the leader without Yoda, and he’s got a good head on his shoulders: keeps up with the politics of the reublic and is wary of authoritarianism, is a skilled general and great warrior, heavily invested into the Jedi order and its role as peacekeepers and defends all life - even the zilo beast. He’s everything a great Jedi leader ought to be imo , if only he could live t 900 like yoda lol
Ki Adi Mundi feels like he’s got wisdom, awareness and skill and also the seniority , but wouldn’t be the go to followup as he feels more of a “default” Jedi - would do a good job and earnestly invest himself into the development of the order and defense of the republic; he’d tow the line in the war and flourish in peace time, but not reach the heights of Mace or Obi Wan. Tho I could see an argument for Plo Koon in this similar tertiary role
Obi Wan who ages into his OT adjacent self he’d achieve that wisdom and talent , and we know his diplomatic and Command skills, and he’d be a bit more proactive and assertive in the council than a Ki Adi Mundi imo which would make him be looked to as a leader imo, and his expirences with Satine, Maul, Anakin, the war, relief, etc. would all put him in a great position to guide others and the order at large
