Cody had nine cups of coffee that morning, and was vibrating into the fourth dimension so he stopped listening after “execute order six-” order six, CANONICALLY, is “get rid of your communicator as fast as possible”. So that’s what Cody hears, and that’s what Cody relays to the GAR. So Palpatine executes his master stroke and six million clones just YEET their communicators and keep going about their business.
Palpatine, not knowing none of the troopers heard his “execute order 66” order and waltzing over to Fox just to gloat, thinking he’s still somewhat tranced in the “good soldiers follow orders” haze.
“See? I made all your friends kill their own generals because I’m actually one evil sith bastard and there’s nothing anyone can do about it”
Fox, slowly reaching for his blaster while palpatine turns his back on him to cackle: oh how very curious sir. How interesting. How fascinat-
And that’s how Fox becomes Supreme Chancellor of the Republic
The only headcanon I accept.
Fox, at the ripe old age of 13, not even an actual citizen of the Republic, kills the Sith chancellor, ascends to power, and actually gets shit done.
The galaxy is flabbergasted the Senate can, in fact, get off their asses when their leader is a military commander who spent way to much time indirectly involved in politics.
Not even an actual citizen of the Republic wow I forgot about the fact that clones aren’t citizens I am Upset now
anakin, just nervously sweats and realizes he really got lucky that the emperors plan failed before he killed a bunch of children
yknow if romeo had just Cried on juliets corpse for a couple hours instead of drinking poison Right Then they would have been Fine
The moral of the story is: always take time to cry for a few hours before making important decisions.
So I’m more or less being facetious here, but this is actually a thing.
Hamlet is genre savvy. Hamlet knows how Tragedies work, and he’s not going to rush in and get stabby without making absolutely certain he’s got all the facts.
Except once he thinks he has all the facts – once he’s certain that it really is the ghost of his father and Claudius really did kill him, he rushes in and stabs the wrong guy, which starts a domino line of deaths and gets Laertes embroiled in his own revenge tragedy and ultimately results in the deaths of nearly every character other than Horatio.
That’s the irony and the tragedy of the story. Hamlet knows his tropes and actively tries to avoid them, and the tropes get him anyway. It’s inevitable, the tropes are hungry.
I want a sticker that says the tropes are hungry so I can put it on my laptop
i met a scholar once who said that tragedies aren’t about a silly “flaw” or anything, it’s about having a hero who’s just in the wrong goddamn story
if hamlet swapped places with othello he wouldn’t be duped by any of iago’s shit, he’d sit down & have a good think & actually examine the facts before taking action. meanwhile in denmark, othello would have killed claudius before act 2 could even start. but instead nope, they’re both in situations where their greatest strengths are totally useless and now we’ve got all these bodies to bury.
The tropes are hungry and the hero is in the wrong goddamn story.
