Democracy, always doom to fail to it own rule. Allow too many populism votes, especially from people who just want free stuff and not enough responsibility/accountability for eletected officials. And the only way to end slavery across the galaxy is the republic to force it, by drafting people into military to fight for other people benefit which is going piss off alot of people, with higher taxes to enforce the rules and family members death in the endless wars. Which also defeat Republic creditable of respecting it neighbors, not that it has much to begin with. Along with Republic system giving up it military is a mistake since they can't defend themselves, which historical shown slavery dies out when nation fouces on building their own security rather rallying on others, since they have invested interest to defend their own home.
Tatooine is not with in Republic territory and had no Republic Representative in the Senate. While some outer Rim Territories where in the Republic like Ryloth, Tatooine was not, and had little value as it was off the main Corillian Run trade route. which is why the Hutts Controlled it.
Although it didn't have senate control, I believe Tatooine is implied to have at least some former republic ties. When Padme talks about slavery, she talks about the Galactic Republic Anti-Slavery law, showing that the Republic at least theoretically should have some sort of influence on the planet, in which Shmi corrects her since she's lived there and experienced the opposite. This is also backed up on the Starwars.com databank that "The Hutts controlled the planet during the final years of the Republic, operating beyond the reach of galactic law." I think this statement implies that the Hutt occupation hasn't always been the case, and that Tatooine was at least under some republic influence at one point. If we look at the perspective of George Lucas, the prequals were heavily influenced by his viewed issues on US politics, where Tatooine could be seen as a once occupied territory of the Republic (US), now abandoned and forgotten.
@@BlueSkiesAreGrey As Qui-Gon Jin says to Shmi Skywalker in Episode 1 "Had he been born in the Republic he would have been Identified early" beside this it is well established with in Cannon (Old and New) as well as Legends that Tatooine is Outside the Republic Territory.
There was no failure. The awarded him massive powers by vote. Just like Congress has ceded massive executive order power to the President as they can never get anything done with the splits they have. And see how well that is working out .... lol
Great video! It’s nice to see how much more popularity the prequels gained over the years, and how many people dedicated themselves to debunk negative criticisms. While feminism is definitely no focus, I still believe that especially Padme shows what true feminism is actually about.
US West/East later at night it's like 3-5 return to matchmaking before a match. Didn't know Dota Plus had that features but maybe that explains it? It seems like something is broken
Various things had me relook at Star wars prequels myself. the story I saw the first time was mostly spectacle, when anakin was told to kill younglings and he was evil now, I sorta felt it was a jump. But then I see it again and don't get distracted by things. one thing I noted in the prequels was queen amadalla was Senator for life. it wasn't a Democratic republic, it was just as evil as the empire. and the Jedi protected and killed the separatists in the clone wars the way nobility had their knights supress peasants during the middle ages. the Jedi being Corrupt, and allowing such things as slavery to exist in the Rim was one of the key failures that made the Jedi need to be destroyed. the other failure was when Anakin was the chosen one, they let the sith know when he was weak and untrained. they had no operational security. they learned that lesson and Obi wan kept Luke hidden. But they let the sith know they had him and didn't protect him. they didnt befriend him, and instead treated him poorly. his only friends were out side the order like padme and palpatine. and his padawan Asoka who was forced out of the order to appease the mob. anakin's mom dying wasnt a seporate event, Anakin being born into slavery was the sin, the fact they let his mom died, drove home that years after finding slavery on his planet they hadn't fixed the issue. when the seportists objected to the deal they got, they tried 'peacekeeping' and soon turned to firepower if the Jedi were good they should have left the comfort corosant and taken a position on the troubled spot thru the republic solving wrongs like slavery. if the Jedi were good they should have realized the republic was not. but instead they chose to stick to their ways despite knowing the force was angry, and they got burned. anakin was merely the instrument of that, they have chances to redeem themselves, and instead chose poorly time and time again.
These are a ton of great points, I really like your analysis on the movie. I think that the Jedi and the republic are stated as a better alternative to the separatists, but they're also inherently flawed. The Jedi order are coerced and caught up within politics and the republic, which cloud them from their morals.
I don’t know if it’s just me but your sound seems quite low. Also I know it take some time to build up confidence in front of the mic but try to speak up and really push your words out, it really improves the viewing experience.
