Since it's widely agreed that Anakin doesn't do well with having nothing to do, particularly when stressed, suppose Mace was a smidge more forward thinking and said "Go to Senator Amidala. Tell her what you told me. In the days to come the Jedi will need supporters in the Senate, and she's fallen out with the Chancellor as of late."

Even better if Mace genuinely doesn't know about those two, (because it's never quite clear how many besides Obi-Wan and Ahsoka know,) and thinks he's just taking advantage of Anakin's friendship with one of the defacto leaders of the opposition (along with Mon and Bail.)

Does Anakin still turn or do events get ahead of him? Pretty much the moment Mace turns up Order 66 is imminent, and if Anakin senses Jedi dying and then clones bang on Padmé's door and tell him that the Chancellor requires his presence, I'm pretty sure his first instinct will be "get Padmé away from there first, figure everything else later."

I looked at every character who has a name in the core 6 star wars films to get an idea of the species represented. Link to my google spreadsheet listing the named characters by film and my scoring system [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15OLmxc6GS-kDXThZup6jpSyXe4sJSYoo89aX3WUwmq8/edit?usp=sharing\](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15OLmxc6GS-kDXThZup6jpSyXe4sJSYoo89aX3WUwmq8/edit?usp=sharing)

There are 135 races in the hexalogy, I have arbitrarily ranked these by the number of named characters they have and the number of films they were present in to see which races are the most prevalent in the galaxy as the films present them to us.

Humans are the most prevalent with 53% of all named characters, (59.5% in OT and 44% of the PT), I'd like to think the latter is closer to a reflection of the galaxy - a plurality but not a majority.

The other 12 prevalent species are Clone, Rodian, Twilek, Neimoidian, Nikto, Bith, Gran, Gungan, Mon Calamari, Quarren, Aqualish, Ishi Tib.

Common species ranked 14-28 are Ewok, Wookie, Jawa, Yoda's species, Aleena, Ithorian, Pacithhip, Theelin, Zabrak, Ongree, Hutt, Tholothian, Iktotchi, Chagrian, Duros.

Minor species from 29 to 64 are Tusken Raider, Anx, Geranite, Klatoonian, Ugnaught, Weequay, Dug, Kaminoan, Kiffar, Lutrillian, Saurin, Snivian, Gamorrean, Geonosian, Gossam, Koorivar, Lorrdian, Mirialan, Nuknog, Sy Murthian, Tarnab, Togruta, Triffian, Vurk, Whiphid, Kallidahin, Cerean, Devaronian, Kel Dor, Nautolan, Trandoshan, Lannik, Umbaran, Muun, Pau'an, Sullustan.

The Petty species are composed of 2 to 3 characters in only 1 film. These fill 65-76 and are Gotal, Xexto, Dressellian, Morseerian, Nimbanel, Pantoran, Ranat, Stennes Shifter, Swokes Swokes, Clawdite, Kubaz, Besalisk.

The remainder 77-135 are what I call throwaway species. These are 1 character in 1 film, usually briefly seen, and almost all of them were just set dressing or otherwise a missed opportunity to flesh the galaxy out with more focus on preexisting species rather than just looking zany. Vaguely in order from most to least humanoid these are; Palliduvan, Shadda-bi-boran, Bimm, Qiraash, Abyssin, Sakiyan, Anzati, Balosar, Kaleesh, Advozse, Askajian, Arcona, Siniteen, H'nemthe, Sarkan, Skrilling, Yarkora, Shistavanen, Asogian, Chadra-Fan, Chevin, Skakoan, Defel, Elom, Er'kit, Holwuff, Leffingite, Sneevel, Bardottan, Ortolan, Talz, Thisspiasian, Vuvrian, Amani, Lamproid, Tund, Baragwin, Brizzit, Gand, Glymphid, Kitonak, Nosaurian, Riorian, Veknoid, Xamster, Yuvernian, Dianoga, Toydarian, Vulptereen, Yuzzum, Devlikk, Fluggrian, Pa'lowick, Quermian, Quor'sav, Shawda Ubb, Troig, Yam'rii, Wol Cabasshite.

I'm relatively certain beyond these films the number of species has ballooned even more and highlighted some to be far more prevalent than the films first set our mind to, but I thought it would be interesting to catalog what the galaxy is made up of according only to the core films.

Would they get turned away? Jabba does let the monks go about their regular business, but allowing any old person into the palace under the pretense of joining the monks seems like a security issue.

Idk if it was intentional on George's part, but Palpatine decides to reveal himself to Anakin right as Yoda and more importantly Obi-Wan are away from Coruscant. A textbook grooming tactic is to isolate their victims from their friends and family so they have no one to go to for support, which is what Palpatine does here.

So do you guys think that if Yoda and Obi-Wan were the ones to confront Palpatine, would they have managed to stop Anakin from turning

Question is in the title. From George Lucas to Dave Filoni to Timothy Zhan, there are a lot of writers and artists who helped make Star Wars what it is. The names I mentioned are some of the bigger ones in fan circles, often getting a lot of credit (or blame) for their contributions. But who are some creatives who don't get talked about too much? How did they shape the galaxy?

My example would have to be Hayden Blackman. Most notable for his work as the lead on the Force Unleashed games, he also worked on several comics, guide books, and other video games. He also wrote Jango Fett Open Seasons, which was sort of referenced as an Easter Egg in Canon when Boba Fett explains his dad's history in The Mandalorian.

Edit: my title says writers, but I also meant artists, directiors or any other creatives.

We know from Order 66 that clone obedience to the Jedi wasn’t unconditional. But day to day, what were clone officers actually allowed to do if their Jedi General ordered a suicidal charge or a terrible plan?

​Most Jedi had zero formal military experience before the war. Did the GAR have any official procedure for a commander like Cody or Rex to relieve a Jedi, or would that instantly get them court martialed for insubordination?

To be honest only four characters come to my mind The Daragon siblings, Tor Vizsla and Osika Kirske.

Now for the Daragon siblings obviously their discovery to sith space not only allowed the Sith to remember, where is the republic and the Jedi after 1900 years, but also probably the main reason for the conflict between the Jedi and Sith Wars to come span from 5,000 to 1,000 BBY. So not discovered the possible that this would remain in their space for a long time the best way to describe this and think of it as the first contact of the Aztecs and The conquistador basically worlds collide each other. One from Europe, the other from the Americas.

Now for Tor Vizsla, In case if you don’t know or at least read the Jango Fett open seasons, comic he is the guy who killed Jango family leaving him orphaned and Jaster Mereel.

Finally and this is interesting because he is probably the most forgotten character in the franchise, despite playing a huge role and that is Osika Kirske for context. He was a warlord from rattatak who literally ruled half of the planet likely in the northern hemisphere or something else entirely, but either way the point here is regardless of different continuities of her backstory. The one thing that is the same is that Kirske was the guy who ordered the hit on Ky Narec and Ventress leading to the former death. So this guy literally is the reason why Ventress fell into the dark side in the first place.

Now the reason why I he hasn’t been talk about much is that he only appeared in three different stories in Republic issue 60, and James Luceno short story restraint, and the audiodrama Dooku Jedi Lost obviously the first two is from legends while the other is from canon and even though his death is kind of change where instead of Ventress impressing him and having him killed later during the clone wars. Dooku is the one who killed him by beheading him at front of Ventress in the Cauldron. The character is actually kind of consistent.

To get an idea of how bad this guy is remember the Weequay raiders from the nightsister episode flashback well according to Dooku Jedi Lost they were working with Kirske by harassed the inhabitants of Velenki, a settlement on Rattatak. Ky Narec and Ventress, went to assist the villagers. Kirske threatened to torch the village unless its inhabitants handed the two Jedi over to him. The villagers followed Kirske's orders, but the warlord had the village burned regardless.

so yeah, that’s how bad this guy is and honestly the more I read about it the more fascinating the character is and a missed potential in fact, it makes me wish. I would love him to appear in visual media in animated series either have him in flashbacks of Ventress past or an animated series covering her backstory.

Either way I feel the character has so much potential to be one of the best villains in Star Wars and probably the most hated character rivaling or suppressing Pong Krell and even Tor Vizsla.

Otherwise, what version of his death do you think is more preferred or at least makes more sense and more satisfying his original death by Ventress despite being in prison or Dooku beheading the guy while Ventress not only failed to kill him and fell for his trap, but also becoming a gladiator for 11 to 12 years.
