I'm always a bit surprised when I see hate for Shaak Ti based on her "Republic property" line like it's some kind of slam dunk statement of her views... have you guys seriously never had to speak someone else's language before? I'm not even trying to comment on her motives or beliefs here- but whether you read her as advocating for Fives or not, if she was 100% unambiguously advocating for Fives there that would still have been the right thing to say to the Kaminoans to get custody of him.

#this just seems like such an obvious thing to me #and i guess it bugs me because there's a lot of focus on people saying the right things and not enough on people doing things #you know in general. on planet earth.#and this is so clearly a place where virtue signalling on Shaak's part would have been 100% useless. The Kaminoans do not care.#she's lawyering. it's such a basic thing.#i don't really want to go into the thornyness of jedi-clone relations right now or what the council did and did not do for and to them.#i know i'm basically a pro jedi blog but I don't think it's perfectly rosy either but i'm tired #so i should probably leave well enough alone #but i felt like griping about this one specific thing #which is not evidence of anything except rules-lawyering #shaak ti
