Let’s talk about Mina Bontelli. I actually like her quite a bit, because in my opinion her plot is a relatively mature attempt in the children’s animation “The Clone Wars”, but later Disney still
Braked.
People who have watched the cartoon also know that in the original plot, Mina was assassinated by Count Dooku because she advocated peace, and her death was only mentioned briefly. Here you can see some obvious plot patches and processing.
Why? Because Mina died for justice in the cartoon. But this justice is not her own justice, but the justice imposed by the director. This justice is the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order.
In this children's plot, there must be a bad guy and a good guy. Therefore, the entire plot emphasizes how right Anakin and the others are, how right the Republic is, and portrays Mina as a person who abandons the darkness and turns to the light.
As a young animation, this design is understandable, but for the creation of a character, it can be called sad.
Mina does advocate peace, but the basis for her advocacy of peace is the planet Onderon and the Confederation of Independent Systems, not your Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. She should have her own thinking, her own position and her own interests, and
It's not about sacrificing your life and blood for the great cause of the unification of the Galactic Republic.
In fact, in the animated plot, the initial attempt was to depict the life of the Confederacy of Independent Systems from another perspective, which would make the war more three-dimensional. But it is obvious that Disney has put the brakes on the plot and returned the plot to the good guys and the bad guys.
Go in it.
But is the Galactic Republic really the good guys? Is the Confederacy of Independent Systems really the bad guys? I have also analyzed a lot of the behind-the-scenes of this war for you, and you should have your own understanding.
Similarly, there is also the plot of Stella Guerrera and So Guerrera in the animation, which also has obvious skid marks. In the beginning, I did want to talk about the damage caused by their uprising activities to the civilians. If that was the case, I would not care about it.
The evaluation of animation is definitely not what it is now.
But unfortunately, their influence on the civilians ended up being that Stella cast a huge projection, climbed up, shouted some slogans, and then blew up a power plant, and the people started cheering. Come on, it's another plot of good guys and bad guys.
But doesn’t Disney know? Not necessarily. You see in "Rogue One", the old Saw Gerrera is still a scumbag. So they know what it should be like in a mature plot environment.
If your absolutely weak rebel army stood up and resisted under the instigation of the Galactic Republic, would it have no impact on the people? Maybe just go up and shout a few words for freedom? What the people want is life and food, not yours.
These slogans.
So the reason why I spent so much ink on the plot of Onderon is, on the one hand, because there will be a very tragic war here in the future, and on the other hand, it is also to redefine Mina Bonteri for everyone.
Define Stella and the others' uprising, and define the nature of this war.
Mina can die, but she should die for her own position and ideals.
And why I want her to die is because I am telling you that the planet Onderon is powerless in this war.
Whether it is the Galactic Republic or the Confederation of Independent Systems, they can be flattened and rounded at will, unable to resist. The so-called freedom is just an empty talk, a pie of nothingness drawn by the Jedi Knights for them.
Ahsoka's words at the end should be the most appropriate answer for the people related to the planet Onderon - in the end, they are still not the ones who control the fate of the planet.
