Clone wars    Eminence
      Okay. .    
      Hey emotion            ?
       ?        ?          Vsla
   (What is a        Vizsla?)
    Enabler          Vs           Aggressive          Non-         Compliant            Un-accou               n-t             able-               -             Enabler-
        Souls
      [Ok I’m trying to keep track       here;
      (Because I do try to follow the stories              in case they become           some thing              even when they are in the             -0              cate             -gory-
        - Yoda’s generation
       -Qui- Gon’s     generation             Dooku’s 
       -Obi-wan
      -Anakin’s generation
      -  Ahsoka
       [I am not counting the feckin young-lings”]
         Okay dude seems around Obi-Wan but below                   Both him and Saltine
         - Higher than Anakin though            So,
      -Yoda’s generation
      -Qui- Gon’s     generation            Dooku’s
      -Obi-wan
          - This dude                    (Pre Visla)
     -Anakin’s generation
     -  Ahsoka
     Now Maul;
        He seemed younger than Obi-Wan           but older than Anakin
     So;
      -Yoda’s generation
     -Qui- Gon’s     generation           Dooku’s
     -Obi-wan
         - This dude                  (Pre Visla)
          -Maul
    -Anakin’s generation
    -  Ahsoka
   So just for the record, Ahsoka’s generation        which is now an adult over 22,          Is dealing with      Anakin‘s generation           ....
       [Ok going to guesstimate regarding behavior,]
     Is directly Obi-Wan‘s
         [But they were two generations              under Obi-Wan
           Pre-Visla; acting as some kind a                Brother generation
                - Maul; Youngest                                    Brother   
               -Savage; ?
     So,         [  -Yoda’s generation ]         [   -Qui- Gon’s     generation          Dooku’s ]
    [    -  Obi-wan                               - This dude                        } (Enablers)                  (Pre Visla)                           -Maul  
             -Anakin’s generation ]                    -  Ahsoka (Present)
               (Ok you know what       I’m breaking out the colored markers                   for this shit)
        -Yoda’s generation                    [Enabler]           (Progenitor                      to                Qui-Gon’s                        /                       Dooku)
                 |             -Qui- Gon’s    generation            Dooku’s                        (Progenitor                    To               Obi-wan)                     |
      -  Obi-wan                              |         - This dude  (Pre Visla)                         |             (Younger)                          |           [Brother gen]                         |                 To                     |            Obi- wan
               |           -Maul                       |             (You                     |                nger                     |                Gen)
               |        [As in born before not that they are the same species                    |           though if                  |        someone fecks up the galaxy-  everyone has to deal with it]
               |           - Savage                    |               [You                    |                nger                        |                  Gen]
      -Anakin’s generation 
     Ahsoka (How)
     note I am ignoring that bit about Plagueis            Because no
       And going on the direct            apprentice line-
         [which note          I am aware                may ignore           several possi-                 bilities-
              Including Qui-gon and Obi-wan’s                      Gen poss                        -ib                          ly,                         are                           bro.                              Because of                    convenience,
                       [Which is why I am ignoring the Plaguies           thing-
       Because if serious is that old it’s really implying that someone that is old enough to be Anakin’s Great great grandfather, did that,          The nonsense applied in the whole midclorians to create          life thing          (Consent??)                 And my general disregard for           anything that illuminates the opportunity of choice or             feckin’ realism;
       Now if you’ll look at the chart;
         [I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE A             NO CHILDREN POLICY-  no                attach-ments-]
              Note that means there have been (at least)                   four [distinct] generations in play
              *are
               [ ANd NONE of these fuckers die of natural causes                       [Aka old age]
                Unless you count getting run through by a light sword!
                 [HoW]
                 [”oh yeah the galaxy’s un-balanced,”
                   Cause you have so many fecking kids-]
                  Apologies just had to get that out of my system                         [After making the damn chart]
                  We struggle                        at three,
      Like if I have to bring out the colored markers         I think that’s too many
           I mean you can try      but it’s going to be a hell of a time        [For the writers]             justifying         how the core-
     Point being           it’s a mess-
    [ And I’m doing this just to figure out a conversation           -The generational beef       - The morality           - because yeah while they’re both           enablers, The tox            instigator, clearly has lower ground to their          victim,
       Who was tox           first,
        Who has the advantage
         [One of the things that make a Narc conflicts,            a bit          of risk,               The only thing I can with our Narcs so poorly       established,         Including           their          excessives             And weak              nesses]
          And whether I should boo or               cheer,
             Or some thing as a good line or.             poor
             [because I honestly think the line they’re doing here can work and maybe I didn’t need the chart but it makes it a bit easier and gives an understanding of how I’m comparing,
             Because. .]
             “ if they are weak                  why do you wait,”
              Because from a victim or younger generation that’s a pretty                    potent/poignant line              
From an abuser        its tone deaf     and needs more        malician                  -              Personally I think they did a good job with        Pre-viz         -here
        He’s the right kind of tone of someone stuck in their glory days trying to get the      younger generation to enable him a bit more regardless of the cost,]
   [Power-ful allies
     Haha,
     What allies           [That didn’t-           Betray              Her,]
            -
       [Kenobi]
       [HaHa]
       [i’m sorry but regardless when the writers, pull it out of the        randomness hat,  he’s a punk ass bitch
                          [Excuse me                     for overuse of that term                                  I strictly mean it in the                             derogatory non-                                 identification                                                 Way                                 Meaning,                     Un accountable in terms of fighting and self-defense of his pro              -fessed expertise]

                        [Ventress]
             Exile
  [you’ve been allegedly exiled      so many times it’s a bingo card,       ]
   (Also     instead of locking them up]
     (Like I might’ve missed a few points         due to tox           But,             She didn’t just send them back to exhile where they started fecking with the shit
    Did she?
    I got as far as the juice thing then
    Fast-pasted through the Academy
            (No skim)
     So sorry       if anything was missed
       (But tox)
         ?
        [that was a suddenly              softer tone,]

          Count                 Dooku-
              Dude,                    he just didn’t [rabidly] support your small little fan club              that couldn’t do much
       And [last I checked],                  Just told             you not to do                    a thing,
            Like yeah      might’ve been      relatively        poor advice but what were you          expecting-
       -
     [Tone’s           a bit weird]
      But she       has a point,
      Despite the          uneven-                ?
   [that’s a strangely powerful way to keep him           intact]
         Though              not-               -
       To vote,
    Also,
     Who,
    Why?
      ?   [In all truth, while the expressions were         a bit off,  (I assume benefit of the doubt - illustrators       version-).         That that could’ve been a relatively poignant scene,          a (we totally      got him             To            Enable                  Our                War-              between              Two            Enablers.]
          How is      Savage taking less time than        Maul?
      [is it cause made out of             metal?
       Is it because        Savage is bigger?]
    [Also you know what would’ve been             interesting?]
       [Note, interesting              not better; it’s        perfectly serviceable                  as is;

         With Savage              as the chip,

              Just interesting,
                ?
               Oh yeah that has been pretty fucked up for him considering the last time he was on anything resembling an operating table,
                [also I kind of like the idea of Maul as                     (for now) a nicer Sith Lord than                    his master,             )

        Really, because we only saw four guys that you killed and that greeting party,
         (That’s still            guerilla warfare             at best;)
         [like seriously unless the               Mandalorian(s) only have like five guards         you’re still going to be        over-powered-                 - -                    <

           So much so that we haven’t even really seen the army-             Just some guys carrying cargo
         And cargo              crat                 e(s?             )
           F-o
        Y-eah,                   One             Vis              -i                on-                 -             C-l
       [H-e’s righ       t   -  dude has no actual       commitment to killing        Sal-        tine,
      This is just some       game,           he’s playing,          While    Maul actually seems interested            in    kicking his abusers               ,               -      Dep-th               -          I mean              -       do either of you?
      [like up to this point       I thought this was some                  Gen beef,                But dude           Talks to         Pre-       Visla-          Like-             -   In that           line,        Like he’s         same Gen,
     Which doe      sn’t match the tone they’ve been         projecting    up to this point,
      Of          Pre-Vizla,           robbed              of        something,
    -
     “Cri-minals,”
   Seriously when did these guys have any qualms about mingling with other petty demeanors?
     For that matter 
   and I don’t usu         -ally sin       compet         ency-
   But this was      right after the        episode where      Darth      Maul    got his ass kicked,
   And continues the major      theme of    inconsistency,
     There is no scale of       escalation-           (Which is fine if you want to do      non-sequential if        you want to do          un-attached          short stories,)
         [Though you should probably have some reference in order to keep the emotional tone con-      sist-      -ent- 
     And approp           -riate,)
    There’s            no        scale         of      power,
      As in I have no idea      who        can beat      who,
    (Not in, ‘they’re equally matched        so it’s up to fate,” tension,
     No,               It’s the writers haven’t established anything
     And whoever wins just wins because        author favoritism,
      Seriously 
       The only two consistent things;
         Obi-Wan constantly gets his ass    kicked,                                                                                                  Unless                                                                                                   the                                                                                                  writers                                                                                                   play                                                                                                 favorites
       And author’s hand is almost always           very clearly shown,
                                                                                               Which                                                                                                     you                                                                                                    don’t                                                                                                       want                                                                                                      me                                                                                                     to see;                                                                                                    As the                                                                                                       audience;
Note; I’m not saying there can’t be    luck; Or that something      existential can’t unbalance       The      circumstance,
    Say one dude is trained in        anti-gravity situations,            One is not,           And the gravity          is flipped off,         Having them flop        around is a          decent          enough     representation,          Setting it       up beforehand       is even better,
    But that’s not       what’s done             here;
    (Not only is there no explanation to the sudden        rise in competency,
     But there’s no          set up)
     And there are          several scenes where it again relies on the concept of        (over) negative assumption,        Believing        the tropes         will carry             it,           Enough to sustain
[Particularly with the Maul      scenes. .]
  Where it’s like they’re saying            “And...
    And what?
   You didn’t       establish       anything,
     There’s       nothing there for you to fall back on
    And,       your menacing moment falls flat
    [When no you have to actually        set that up,]
     You didn’t earn that scene         otherwise,
       [Empty tropes           make for           e-mpty           s-tories-                ]
       Why..?
  [also didn’t he just tell you to       fuck off with      your         plan..       ?
   Well...
  The characters are no longer drywall            the set up and the consistency on the other hand...
          [still damn shaky,]
             Plot wise,
