STAR WARS: EPISODE III – REVENGE OF THE SITH — 2005, dir. George Lucas THE FALLEN ANGEL (1847), by Alexandre Cabanel

[kybercrystals]

Something about how Jod described the good in the world as “pinpricks of light in the dark.” Something about how keeping the Barrier up only let the pirates in but finally taking it down let the X-Wings chase they away— let the real good guys come in and save them. Something about how taking the Barrier down let the citizens of At-Attin see stars for the first time, see all the pinpricks of light in the dark, and see just how many there really are. Something about how even in the worst places, even in the worst moments, there will always be more good than you realize, and if you hide away you’ll never be able to see it.

i’m so pleased that jod turned out to be Just Some Guy who happens to also be force sensitive. we so rarely get stories about regular people in the galaxy who are also force sensitive, and not associated with the jedi or another force-wielding group. i’m sure in a galaxy that big, there are plenty of force-sensitive beings who go undiscovered, or are never able to make their way to a force-sensitive group. and to see a regular guy be force sensitive and use it for “evil” (lying/manipulation, thieving, other pirate-y things etc etc), and that not be related back to the sith either, was also really refreshing. like jod’s personal association with the jedi comes solely from the fact that it happened to be a jedi who found him as a child on the streets. other than that he has no personal stake in the jedi, no jedi link in his own history, and in a fictional world that does center around jedi and the force (which is not a bad thing!), it was really nice to see a different kind of force-user story.

Jod was such a good villain - sympathetic but he ultimately chooses selfishness and refuses to break out of the cycle he's created for himself. He scorns the kids' idealism because he was also once a kid who trusted someone and believed for a moment that he could be meant for something more, and had that all ripped away. Sometimes he feels a bit bad at bursting their safe bubble because he knows how horrible the galaxy is, how it feels to have your hope destroyed, but he's lived so long like this that he's simply accepted it. In the end he's just a jaded, beaten-down adult who can't envision a life beyond desperation (something something Maslow's hierarchy).

I think Mad Captain Silvo is his best alias actually

That's the galaxy. It's dark, with a few pinpricks of light.
