The Force, if it had been willing to be more specific:

The end of the Jedi Order (which we knew until then), the Jedi genocide, the end of the Thousand Year Republic, the rise of the Empire, the end of "human rights", and the list goes on.

The Force: bad things are gonna happen

Jedi: ????? What bad things

The Force: watch out

Honestly, I don't think it even had to be the Jedi really. It was a test of the Senate and they failed. They heard that the Jedi were killed, wiped out completely, and they applauded. If Palpatine had announced that and barely anyone had clapped, and instead had started protesting, that may have been the downfall of the Empire before it even started (then again Palpatine is a sneaky bastard with many plans).

The Jedi had been there since the start of the Republic, and even if the Senators had a negative view of them and their work in the war, they heard they had all been killed and cheered. It doesn't matter how much you dislike someone, or a particular group, it shows something when you cheer to hear they had all been killed right down to the young ones (no guarantees whether random Senator Glup Shitto would know about the Jedi children being killed but they would have definitely known about the padawans).

And because the Senate showed they were more than happy to cheer for a massacre (whether out of glee or fear, it doesn't matter that much when it comes down to it), it let Palpatine know that he could commit a lot more atrocities and the Senate (and so the people) would accept it. After all, you cheer for one massacre, what's to stop you cheering for another? Or enslaving an entire group of people?

The symbolism of the empire being born on the day of the jedi’s slaughter is so raw TT

Ok you know what, let's spread some positivity. Reblog this if you actually like Star Wars

And I am refering to all of star wars and not just select parts of it. Even if you have issues with parts of it, you still enjoy it.

Dooku being killed by Anakin is super thematically satisfying but I can't stop thinking about a slightly altered timeline where he is publicly executed on Coruscant instead. Can you imagine the SCENE

I'm finally writing my star wars fic. I feel confident in doing so now that I've read 200 of the EU books (and annotated them). I didn't feel comfortable going off of only the few star wars books and comics I had read before doing my massive reading project because I wanted to make sure I do my ROTS fix-it right. I've pinpointed where I want to start to diverge from canon (because the Republic would have fallen whether Anakin fell to the dark side or not by the time ROTS is happening) and I think I'm going to set the fix it right before Yoda Dark Rendezvous, that way the threat of multiple worlds turning against the Jedi is still there BUT there is still enough political stability to reasonably take down Sidious. I know many people think that any changes have to begin before the battle of Geonosis to be able to take down Sidious, but I want Anakin's disability to still be there, so Anakin and Obi-wan need to still fight Dooku. I also Ahsoka because she is one of my favorite characters so it has to take place farther along into the clone wars. Despite Ahsoka being there, I will probably stick more closely to the 2003 clone wars specials as they're my favorite star wars animated media. This has been a year of prep for beginning writing this fic but I'm finally ready. Yes I reread several star wars books I had read previously just so I could annotate them for this fic. Yes I did the same for the comics. Yes all this star wars interaction gave me the urge to replay the old battlefront games and yes they were just as good as I remember them being when I was 5.

All I want is a scene of Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo trying to get a fairly-out-of-it Crosshair & Omega out of Hemlocke’s facility while being pursued by Stormtroopers. They think they lost the troopers, but suddenly three cut them off from the hall they were going to use to escape. It’s a dead end, Hunter’s carrying Omega while Wrecker & Echo have Crosshair between them, and no one can fight their way out. Then, as the left & right Stormtroopers move forward to apprehend our heroes, the center Stormtrooper kills both of them. The music gets tense, everyone’s confused/apprehensive, and the remaining Stormtrooper removes his helmet and slides on his new pair of goggles because surprise! It’s TECH!!!! And then he says something about how he told them to take the THIRD left, not the SECOND, because this hallway leads to the mess hall and not the abandoned maintenance bay.

Season Three better be sixteen 1-hour episodes, and there better be AT LEAST ONE SHOWER SCENE
