Deadly Snark
Tryhard As Fuck
[X] How dare he?
Whacking Depur until they fuck off or agree to leave you alone saves everyone a lot more trouble in the long run
Besides that, Grievous's statement that there is no such thing as an innocent Huk and he can therefore indiscriminately bomb the civilians without batting an eye is a hell of a dangerous sentiment
Like, really none? They're just one blank monolith of evil?
No differing cultures or views in a population of billions? No conscientious objectors, or marginalized groups within the Huk themselves?
The baby Huk just hatch straight out of the egg that way and there's ontologically no hope for anything but a war of extermination?
Let´s not kid ourselves the whole "violence doesn't solve anything" only sounds great in the Miss America Contest, but in reality, violence is pretty effective at solving stuff, and history has shown us again and again, that the total brutalization of the enemy and the fear of retaliation are extremely efficient ways of preventing anyone from attacking you...
Addendum: The Kaleesh invaded Huk and were fined and embargoed by the Republic which led to starvation. This standoff is already better than the canon outcome because he hasn't crossed the line yet.I just want to take a moment to remind everyone that the canon outcome was that Grievous tried this or something very like it, and then the Republic and the Jedi came in to help the Yam'rii in an attempt to prevent a genocide and the Kaleesh were re-subjugated as a result.
Well IIRC in canon it was less "The Republic and the Jedi came in to help the Yam'rii in an attempt to prevent a genocide", and more The Trade Federation and several senators with trade deals with the Huk hide pressured the Republic to intervene in the war and ignore the Kaleeshi side of the story... Probably the Jedi believed that they were simply preventing genocide, but when the war started the Kaleeshi went to the Republic first to ask for help, and they were ignored because the deals with the Huk were too profitable... So no the Republic may have feigned ignorance but they knew exactly what they were doing.I just want to take a moment to remind everyone that the canon outcome was that Grievous tried this or something very like it, and then the Republic and the Jedi came in to help the Yam'rii in an attempt to prevent a genocide and the Kaleesh were re-subjugated as a result.
IIRC the Kaleeshi slaves were mostly exported because they were too problematic to keep at home...Additional thought: if they're a race of slavers, keeping house slaves is not beneath them. Indiscriminate slaughter will kill the sort of people you would be justified in wanting to save.

Technically, as Jedi, are we not representatives of the Republic in situations such as these?
I'm not sure where I read this, but I think Jedi of Knight rank and above are actually automatically endowed with plenipotentiary power to negotiate as Republic ambassadors.Technically, as Jedi, are we not representatives of the Republic in situations such as these?
Honestly as a Jedi, we may have more power than some might realize in these sorts of situations. We're in a position to sort of decide what standards the Republic has, at least situationally. Which, frankly, sounds excellent for any fuck around and find out antics.We might represent them, but that doesn't mean we are them, nor does it mean we have to lower ourselves to their standards.
I can't really trace its root point either, but that 100% feels like something the Jedi have the ability to do. Gotta love the Old Republic.I'm not sure where I read this, but I think Jedi of Knight rank and above are actually automatically endowed with plenipotentiary power to negotiate as Republic ambassadors.
(And if that's not true in canon it is in this story, since the whole thing with Obi-Wan dropping everything to go to Huk doesn't work unless it's the case.)
I just realized that you'd all probably benefit from having a map of the galaxy, so here is—as far as I'm aware—the most comprehensive and up-to-date canon version that exists:

You can also find a version that might be a bit more easily legible, but wouldn't embed properly on SV, here: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/s...-Background/revision/latest?cb=20220531001357
honestly what does anakin think will help stop Greivous? that would better inform my vote, i thinkI just want to take a moment to remind everyone that the canon outcome was that Grievous tried this or something very like it, and then the Republic and the Jedi came in to help the Yam'rii in an attempt to prevent a genocide and the Kaleesh were re-subjugated as a result.
Well, canonically the Unknown Regions on the left are rich in black holes, exotic gravity wells, and hyperspace anomalies that make almost all FTL travel impossible. The Chiss barely manage it thanks to their deeply methodical nature and use of precognition.Everything heavily favors the right, is scrunched down on the left,
Huh. I don't think I've heard of the Deep Core before. What's that region like? Also, It's interesting how very biased both the marked routes and the regions of influence are. Everything heavily favors the right, is scrunched down on the left, and Corsuscant is nowhere near the center of the Republics ability to project power. I feel like something could be made of that, if it hasn't already, but I'm not sure what.
The explanation is probably a mix of this and the fact that (at least in Legends) modern galactic civilization was founded in the aftermath of revolts against the Rakatan Infinite Empire, and the modern-day Unknown Regions were the core of that empire, where it was strongest and where the uprisings presumably would have reached last, if at all.Well, canonically the Unknown Regions on the left are rich in black holes, exotic gravity wells, and hyperspace anomalies that make almost all FTL travel impossible.

Anakin is not really thinking in terms of stopping Grievous right now. He's thinking about his own feelings and whether or not it's worth trying to rise above them.honestly what does anakin think will help stop Greivous? that would better inform my vote, i think
