The Clone Wars Senate Murders
(Season 2 Episode 15)
Ack
....
So
are
we
going
to
address
the
guy
that
got
killed?

Oh
This
is a new one

Oh good
[I was worried
I was going to have to pull out
The old
“Amidala kills children,”
Thing,]
Any way,
That’s
Good
I like
babies not getting
hurt,
[Cute things in
general]
Oof
That’s
Not-
[pretty sure
that’s the
point]
Whelp
Well I have teased
Amidala pretty
unmercifully,
Regarding
That
Episode,
I do
still give her
a bit of slack
(Age
appropriate)
Because she still
has a chance to
un-feck the situation
[In the
story]
Least we know
it
isn’t her getting
poison
ed this time,
Oh,
never
mind,
That actually
did
apparently
help
(slightly)
(in the
unaccountable)
(Slightly

in
air)

Oh it’s a whole bunch of them
That’s nice-
Senator
Stonk
“what will the public think
if I don’t want to make child soldiers,?”
-Boomer
(Probably)
“But he wants to know
how very sorry he is,”
Haha
That
is the correct tone
“Sorry-”
Sorry doesn’t get you anything
It’s an attempt to control the
narr-
ative
And
nothing else
(If you screw up just
fix the problem
don’t keep dragging the tox,”
Votes
That’s nice
This is a very non-toxic
healthy tea
(I know he’s kind of assuming authority
here
But they
seem to be pretty close friends-
Who are covered under the friend-
ship rules
“ A.k.a. not doing it to a random stranger who doesn’t like it,”
Good rule
Oh God
It’s
THAT
fucker..
?
With the line about
convincing
other people of good?
I-
Nope-
Note; this isn’t an official X
It’s just a show my venomous
hatred of this guy..
And the episode he
Spawned
from
Which was the first one to
earn a strike from me...
For normalizing
abuse...
With that in mind I give this episode the benefit of the
doubt...
Even with that
concerning opening line
So I will acknowledge I am slightly doubtful
[not quite
putting on the
SWAT gear,
maybe just
a bat]
With that-
in mind-
let’s continue...
... .
Mistakes
...
Em-
That at least counts as
one tox
Bring up the previous
things you did wrong
does not fix it
It’s guilt tripping
And an attempt to get the other party
to validate
your toxicity
Dude’s
Towing..
Just after a joke
about how sorry doesn’t do anything
I hope the writers can see the irony in that
(Utilize
It)

Ah- did they skip over to it or they
going?
“exciting isn’t quite the word
I would use,”
Toxic,
authority assuming,
enabling,
Authority assume
is not ok
regardless of what generation you
are
[Dude’s going to be a Traitor,
Isn’t he?
They focused on him
Might be actually a good bit of tension
if he didn’t
(Former
Separatist)
Terri-fying
Yeah surrounded by a bunch of toxic boomers
who will
feel free.
To be as doubting
distrustful.
negative
and overall unhelpful
As you allow
And they feel like pushing the
boundary...
Mind
Or-
gana
Dick move
It’s her
personal opinion
-
and it ain’t
tox?
People can have
dislikes
Not like she called you an
Overinvolved boomer
—
or held you to any
accountability
(Yet)
...
Who order-
[This is getting really
tox
and I don’t trust the
writers
✖️
Just
putting
it
over
there
in
case
I need it
.....
Hm
You
..
[Grooming
isn’t cool
Self deprecation
isn’t either]
Aight
Hm
Also there’s a process you need to go to to speak?
Money doesn’t
matter
-
Killing
-
and
hatred
but
the
pacifistic
bitch
vilified
*Spoken
in
complement
She kicked
ASS
last episode
*sorry
for the vulgarity
I’m excited
. .
Also,
so is this
Padme’s
episode.
Cause
Neat.
Good
But are votes
casted by
clapping?
(I’m not sure)
Okay
Whelp
That’s
either a bad guy
or damn good red
herring
I’m intrigued
Also, whatever happened to
Clovis?
Like,
he still a
senator?
He get
kicked?
Uhm
Dude,
False
appreciation
Also yeah
what was with that dude
earlier?
[Uncle what’s his name apologize to him for Padme’s comment despite Uncle what’s his name being the one who made it, implying dude took a serious issue with it,]
Also,
Oo, is this working of the previous quote about the line between friends and foes being blurred.
[I like
consistency]
So it has to be one of those guys,
The ones in the
room with her,
I’m putting a guess on
Senator-
The one uncle
what’s- his-name
apologized to
That guy
[Or it could be that guy that]
No actually he’s probably
abstain
ed for that reason
Sorry
I’m getting ahead
-
But it does say
“Murder,”
And
I
am
curious
.
Really
going
over
-
Also
why
is that guy
bowing?
[Tran-slation?]
Right
.
obvious
villain
.
Also
light bullshit..
There’s no-
way guy could’ve made it over there
The thing is still in session
We saw him less than a
minute ago
And she just came in directly
[He’d be
halfway down the hallway]
For likely scope
Yeah, this dude is totally a
Red
Herring
-
He’s
way
too
over
the
top
...
I’m putting my bets
On that human Senator
Guy
.
CHILD SOLDIERS
ARE BAD!
[sorry I just
felt the need to say that,]
Okay,
Uncle-what’s his name-
Other person
That guy-
Drink
-ing!
Nice
Vi-ctory
Oh, this looks like a problem
Child groomers
In-
corporate-
Off
Second Red herring!
(It’s that guy
and I’m sticking with
it)
Private
Yeah, like how did he even get into the room without a key card?
I know Amidala’s a senator and
by that,
A public
servant,
But you figure if they’re bringing out the
alcohol, they’d shut the door
-Declare
off hours
-For the celeb
ration-
Separatist
Con
Spiracy-
She has a
point-
You did a
hundred percent enable his behavior
(No argument
there)
Pro- separatist
Ah, uncle back stabber there would contradict you
Not sure if you’re the same species
But,
you do know about his bullshit,
Don’t assume accountability
free snarking
Territory
(They’re all enablers so I’m not even going to bother with the math,
About who screwed up more,
All the
elders
here are held to the same standard,
About,
Uncle Backstabber a little more
*Since I know what he did,
Account
From the most bastard,
of the group,
Who’s the next Red herring?
It’s that dude
I swear
Soon
Yeah child soldiering is a bitch
As is enabling
But she has no idea what’s going to happen
being the past.
Dick,
whelp,
Poor
Frita
(I think)
He’s going
he’s going to get roped into this too
isn’t he?
“ We you must be doing something right,”
Nah, enabling abusers never a good idea
But then again there’s no rules for dealing with trauma individuals because they aren’t supposed to be any
How long that takes and what it entails
Is down to who ever is
asserting accountability
(Excluding
the actual accountability, cutting
Them off)
That’s unnegotiable
(And it can’t involve
death)
Too.
harsh-
No you haven’t-
Well, yeah
But that’s
accessory at best
...
Ono
you’ve done a wonderful job
No he hasn’t
Don’t coddle
the abuser
He’s screwed up pretty consistently
Pretty sure
it’s more than five
And was leading to let the future get
hecked
...
Very
Likely
He wasn’t hurt
The other lady
spent a lot more time defending
She should get the ‘don’t listen to them’
If anything just
‘reflect the bitch’
(Neutral)
Aight
Too
Late!
Can someone stop
playing the sad music?
This isn’t sad
And you can’t make me
sympathize for the abuser
(I- don’t trust this
writer)
That Dude sus
Aight
Faker-
He’s dying you
dumb ass
(Having a
heart attack
probably
All the stress
of denial)
Whelp
Call!
Please
Whelp
-Oh wait
bitch is dead?
Uhm.
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD the
WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!
(I know that seems really harsh-
But dude- deserved it
And I never have to deal with that character
anymore!
So,
Al-
right
the
funeral;
Um,
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD the
WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!
(I’m sorry I really hated that
character-)
* In reality
the loss of life is a very serious thing and
I don’t mean to make light of it
But no one is required
to feel sad about their abusers-
Nor toxic individuals
Nor anyone else
Yes the loss of life is a
serious thing
But it should not
And could not
control a person’s life
I’ve always played accountability
over death
Or death
penalty
...
“...was is a flawed man,”
He tried to sell someone into
slavery...
The fact that Amidala was an adult
and could get out of the situation
Doesn’t forgive
how terrible that situation was.
Un-healthy
And
Wrong
“Own
mistakes”
And he tried to guilt trip everyone
into giving him validation
Specifically
Amidala
Every
occasion
[Also
flawed
Some
one
breaking
the
code
once
or
twice,
(Under
five)
Is
flawed,
This
dude
tox,
He should’ve been sentenced
to
accountability along time ago
For trying to make the world
a generally terrible place for someone
Multiple times-
That’s not okay
[and he clearly
didn’t learn his lesson]
[Note; whether a person “learned their lesson” or not,
Is irrelevant
[They already
knew the rules before]
But he never compromised his principles-
HaHAha,
What?
That’s because
dude didn’t have any principles
He broke them long before,
Also why the frick does Master Yoda care?
Dude
was
a
politic,
The
Fuck,
He engaging this propaganda?
Why?
Why does he care about any of this.
Why does
ANY
one
[Satine, alright, hermen got murdered and she might be looking for evidence on who-done-it That’s fair
?
Oh says it’s an everyone event
That makes sense
Guessing the Jedi are required
to come or else the branded as that asshole
Fair
Eyes
Aight
What-
ever-
?
Why the guard?
Like cultural customs
Aren’t honor guards
for veterans
(And possibly extremely
high positions,
Like
Chancellor?
As technical commander of the army?
Like,
Explain?
That guy-
Sus
Very
Sus-
Pas-
sed
I’d say
to find his killer
But yeah I can’t really
blame anyone for not
caring that much
about that dude
Specifically
Amidala
(Though
accountability law..
D
Frita is honestly my favorite
character
I don’t know
why.
Possibly his relation to the
chancellor and how
he still a good natured guy,
Aight
Yeah
he was a dick,
Hope those aren’t memories
[also
totally the
Kamooin
B-
Right?
[Like
I’m totally still after
Dude, ]
But she’s
the only one that
touched the bottle]
That we saw?
Dude did suggest it
Still
heavily
sussing
him
.
No
Face
.
Also
is that his wife?
(Don’t think it was
ever established)
I-
Mentor
?
How old is this person?
I’m gonna assume
adult
So.
He toxically asserted
authority over me.
Or wrong choice of words and they meant like
“best friend”
Cause that’s kind of
tox,
Me?
- -
This is
getting
Hella
tox
You’re
a
person
Yeah you might miss him
and that’s totally fine
But-
You’re still a person completely able to
self determine.
‘ take his place,’
Oh no
Oh no
Shit
Just what she needs
overinvolvement
Right
Not
threatening at all
Oh
Red
.
We
never
see
them
enter
.
Right
.
Well this turned from a private party
to a
Conference
I thought he was just calling
to offer condolences.
Questions.
Oh,
Did you not tell the loud ones what happened to their loved one?
(Like normally I’m all for no one should
witness anyone else’s death
Or that news be public
But this is assumed authority.
And that stuff is pretty normal
Regardless
of how terrible.
Senator Fa
This guy seems like a drip
[Guessing that’s the reason why
Amidala is going to end up taking charge,]
Because
the Chancellor
hired a sham detector
Whelp
Dick way to put it
True, the protocol for murder
isn’t cutting and clear
Dragging random people into it, isn’t
You see it
you’re
immediately accountable,
(Only by view of the body,
Not by word of mouth)
Because this kind of approach is super
in-effective,
Whelp
Great
Also there were thousands of
senators in that building that could screw up the thing
Only
five
(I’ll give the
murder
mystery
It’s
Dues,
And
let it
continue,
But
(im-probabilit-
ies is not a good thing)
Might
Want
To
Avoid
(Also
if that’s the
qualification;
I’m sussing
Amidala,
Dude
was
a
dick
to
her)
THOUGH
I’M STILL-
SUSS

<—-
He
Sus
Him
—-
Ha!
Here
Hey

Nice
(also, dang how frequent are
murders?
Him
<—-
He
Sus
He didn’t take a seat
like everyone else
[Also, it was purple
Dude wearing purple
that’s who I’m talking about]
Also are you going to introduce him as the
detective ?
‘cause you’re kind of
screwing with these people
Not
telling them what’s going on
Answering in vague
Snark
Him.
...
For no reason
Considering he was an uncountable toxic frick who allowed it lots of people to get hurt-
I’m
mad,
A ight
Right..
And
Okay,
He’s got a point
Immediate accountability
is the case murder
for good reason
Surprised they didn’t start
this right after the
murder
When it happened
Dude- [i’m not going to criticize
the spatial awareness]
Him
<—-
Right
there
Murder
A good point since
they really haven’t explained anything?
Okay,
Right
Or anyone
stealthy
Though yeah I guess
politicians
[just don’t like the
generalization]
Someone good
With he rbs..
Okay.
Neat.
Insult.
Poor.
Frita
He didn’t deserve
this,
(Well yeah he’s an enabler,)
But
He’s the least toxic..
[Also poor Frita,
Always
getting sucked into these mysteries
He’s the shaggy
of this damn group
[Likes food
and hanging out with people,
Gets dragged into
bullshit,
Rip
Insulting
the whole damn room
.....
This character is
obnoxious
But in a fun way
The narr
-atives-
clearly having fun
Ono
yeah
he
was
an
open
dick
[Seriously they’re treating him
like-]
?
No it couldn’t possibly be because he was an
ex separatist,
Open book
Case,
Con-troversial
Politicians
arguing over basic human decency
And common sense
‘Do we really.. Ok
that’s enough politic jokes
The movie started it
so I had to finish it.
Now on with.
Dude drunk
Dick
“ I’m
totally-”
Um, this is
delicious corruption
How long until
Amidala figures what’s going on?
Whelp

Agana!
That
fricker
Onu
looked
at him
before
his death
-
He came back last
to the party-
He was the first
to suggest opening the drinks
-
Also the thing with the detective
and him just trying to get over as quickly as possible
He sus,
Aight,
Right,

Don’t - get stabbed
Um-
Aight
Wha-
Ha, such a red

Empty

Also
they know each other?

Theory
That
Guy..
Guy’s like damn
Like just give her your time and your place and
your alibi.
Whelp,
Aight
So I’m pretty sure if I had paid attention to the
bottles,
That wouldn’t have
matched up
...
Yeah he was a separatist
DAMN
Like I saw the hand on the dock
But I thought it was an assassin
or team up
But
DAMN
I feel
verified
Until it played music
victory music
Over the arrest
of a distressed
and less toxic

*While
painting
the

as a

Which I cannot
condone
As such;
it earns my most
regretful
strike;
Official;
For attempting to

- that it is an attempt
to guilt-trip
Invalidate
And

But also should not apply to someone that has repeatedly attempt to Gaslight, guilt trip and sell a person into slavery;

That once you commit harm
against another person.. it can

The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy word.
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:34-40
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but Him. To love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
And from then on no one dared ask Him any more questions.
Mark 12:28-34
This ends today’s reading from God's holy word. Thanks be to God.
If there was one central emotion found through the scope of the scriptures, it would be love. If you don’t believe that, look in any bible concordance and see how many verses in God’s word contain the word.
It was at the heart of what is the most well known verse in the bible, John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Yes, we find grace and mercy and forgiveness in what God willingly did to save His beloved people but at the heart of the choice was love. It was the catalyst for everything else.
Turning toward Jesus, the one and only Son God gave to bring us salvation, here’s what He had to say about what His Father had sent Him to do:
“As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love. If you keep My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know His master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends.” John 15:9-15
Jesus had said that He was one with God, His Father, and as we see here, that applied to love. God so loved the world but He also loved His Son deeply. He proclaimed so at Jesus’ baptism which happened at the very start of His ministry:
As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17
God loved His Son and in turn His Son loved His Father and all those His Father loved. The depth of that love was so incredible that Jesus referred to the very people He would die in the place of as His friends. His willingness to be sacrificed to pay the price for the sins of mankind constituted the greatest love possible, a love known as “agape love”.
Now the title of this devotion is “Loving in the Right Order” which lends to the suggestion that love is orderly. In other words, it follows a certain pattern in order to be what it is.
This means that love needs to have a starting point, an origin, and that starting point is God. Consider these verses:
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us… We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:8-12, 19
Love didn’t originate with mankind. It started with God who expressed His passion for His people through His Son who in turn showed the Father’s love by willingly dying in the place of everyone, for all sinners and we all are.
People then, based on the love of God and Jesus, are to love one another, only knowing what love truly is because of the love they have received from the Father and His Son.
Love indeed follows a given order and this isn’t just a New Testament concept. For as we turn to our scripture passages for today, we find Jesus, fresh off teaching the Sadducees about resurrection, being questioned by a teacher of the law. Look again at these words from Mark’s Gospel:
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but Him. To love Him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
And from then on no one dared ask Him any more questions.
Here, a Jewish man with the reputation of being an expert in Mosaic law asks for Jesus’ opinion on what He viewed as the greatest commandment. Now, keep in mind that God has issued many, many commandments so there was a lot to choose from and the task was made even more difficult by the matter of ranking any one command as more important than all the others.
But as we see, Jesus was prepared with answers and those answers were not only grounded in Mosaic law but centered on the matter of love, orderly love.
First, Jesus quoted the Book of Deuteronomy while offering what He viewed as the greatest commandment:
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5
The greatest commandment was anchored in loving God, not just in part but in whole. In other words, we are to give God all our love with all we have. We have to invest all that we are, physically and spiritually, for then and only then can we fulfill the second commandment, which Jesus draws from the Book of Leviticus:
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:18
When we love God first, with all our heart and soul and strength, then we can love as God loves because His love will become our own. This love pulls us away from Satan’s urgings to seek revenge or bear grudges, and points us to grace and mercy and forgiveness which are the byproducts of love. When we love God fully, then we will appreciate the fullness of the love He has for us, and then we can in turn extend that fullness of love to our neighbors, to all we come into contact with.
So how well are we doing when it comes to meeting these two commandments?
When we look at our world today and the divisiveness we see, my thought is that we have a long way to go to get to the place where God wants us to be.
What’s the way back?
I believe it’s pretty simple. It requires us getting back to basics and centering our attitudes on love, first realizing that we only know of love because God and Jesus showed us what it is, and then loving the Father and Son with all that we are and all that we have, just as they have loved us.
When we truly commit to this, then and only then, will we be able to love one another as God intended. And when we finally get that we need to love in the right order, then we will in turn find the world we live in become a more beautiful place, a place inhabited by people who treat one another lovingly and, in doing so, please the very Heavenly Father who loved them first.
Amen.
In Christ,
Mark
