Let’s talk about Mina Bontry
Let’s talk about Mina Bontry. In fact, I quite like her, because in my opinion, her plot is "The Clone Wars" It was a relatively mature attempt in children's animation, but later Disney put the brakes on it.
People who have watched the cartoon also know that 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 darkness and turns to light.
As a young animation, this design is understandable, but for the creation of a character, it is 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, instead of shedding her life and blood for the unification of the Galactic Republic.
In fact, in the animation plot, the initial attempt was to depict the life of the Confederation 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 good guys and bad guys.
But are the Galactic Republic really the good guys? Are 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, and the brake marks are also obvious. Initially, I did want to talk about the harm caused by their uprising activities to civilians. If that were the case, my evaluation of this animation would definitely not be 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 good guy and bad guy plot.
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.
You, an absolutely weak rebel army, stood up and resisted under the instigation of the Galactic Republic. Is it possible that it would have no impact on the people? Maybe just go up and shout a few words for freedom? What people think about is life and food, not these slogans.
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 for everyone - Bontry, this person, defines Stella and the others' uprising, and defines 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 word, a pie of nothingness drawn by the Jedi Knights for them.
Ahsoka's final words 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.
