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
