The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

Let’s talk about Mina Bontry. Actually, I like her a lot, because in my opinion, her plot is a relatively mature attempt in the children’s animation of "The Clone Wars", but later Disney still brakes.

Those who have watched the cartoon also know that Mina was assassinated by Earl Dooku because of her advocacy of peace in the original plot, and her death was just a brushstroke. Here you can see some obvious plot patches and treatments.

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 child-oriented plot, there must be a bad guy and a good guy. So the whole plot is emphasizing how right Anakin and the others are, and how right the Republic is, portraying Mina as a person who abandons the dark and turns to the bright.

As a young animation, there is nothing wrong with such a design, but for the shaping of a character, it is pathetic.

Mina does advocate peace, but the foothold of her advocacy of peace is the planet Onderon, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, not your Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. She should have her own thinking, her own position and her own interests, instead of throwing her head and blood for the unification of the Galactic Republic.

In fact, in the animation plot, at the beginning, it was indeed an attempt to depict the life of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies from another angle, which would make the war more three-dimensional. But it's clear that Disney has put the brakes on it, bringing the story back to good guys versus bad guys.

But is the Galactic Republic really a good guy? Are the Confederacy of Independent Systems really the bad guys? I also analyzed a lot of behind-the-scenes about this war for you, and everyone should have their own understanding.

Similarly, there is also the plot of Stella-Gerrera and So-Gerrera in the animation, and the brake marks are also obvious. In the beginning, I really wanted to talk about the damage caused by their uprising to civilians. If this is the case, my evaluation of this animation will definitely not be the same as it is now.

But unfortunately, their impact on the civilians, in the end, Stella cast a huge projection, climbed up and shouted some slogans, and then blew up a power plant, and the people began to cheer. Come on, it's a story of good guys and bad guys again.

But doesn't Disney know? not necessarily. You see in "Rogue One", the old Saw Guerrera 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 to resist under the instigation of the Galactic Republic. Could it have no effect on the people? Maybe go up and shout a few words for freedom? People think about life and food, not your slogans.

So the reason why I spent so much ink on the plot of Planet Onderon is because on the one hand there will be a terrible battle here, and on the other hand, it is also to redefine Mina Bontry for everyone. Define the uprising of Stella and the others, and define the nature of this war.

Mina can die, but she should die for her own stand and ideals.

And why I let her die is because I'm telling you about the powerlessness of Planet Onderon in this war.

Whether it is the Galactic Republic or the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, they can be flattened and rounded at will, and they are powerless to fight. The so-called freedom is just empty words, a pie of nothingness drawn by the Jedi Knights.

The last sentence of Ahsoka should be the most suitable answer for the people related to the planet Onderon - they are still not the ones who control the fate of the planet in the end.
