Andor Ahsoka Mon Mothma

Or just more of it.

 

Michael Carter should've player Bib Fortuna in Mando season 2...

 

Nah, Bib is an alien character which requires heavy makeup so I don’t care who plays him………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

I never liked this character. Oh, these rebels... Here Mothma is also depicted as a bad mother (and wife), which only aggravates the attitude towards her. A person who chose an Idea, not a family. In this regard, she is similar to Leia. Both are bad ideological mothers.

 

She is not in any sense portrayed as a bad mother or wife. If anyone was portrayed as a bad spouse, it was her nincompoop husband who didn't support her work and whined about her being no fun for criticizing people that were responsible for massacres. And Mothma did nothing, in the show, to incur the wrath she got from her daughter. The show seemed to imply that her daughter was generally taking her father's side on things, and that he was the one responsible for the family difficulties.

Mon Mothma did nothing more than commit to fighting the Empire, in her own way, and that's admirable - while her husband just wanted to sit in his privilege as a citizen of the Empire. And she unequivocally did NOT concede to pawning off her daughter in service of that fight until she realized that her daughter was a staunch traditionalist, and wanted to do the traditional Chandrilan marriage thing. So while that's one of Mothma's most questionable moral decisions in the show, she was otherwise portrayed as a much, much better person than her husband.

And seriously? A bad wife? What is this, 1950?

 

Imagine, not everyone is interested in the rebels. In fact, few people cared about them. And considering what a mess they returned to the galaxy after their victory...

I really liked this moment. Respect for the girl. (I am also a traditionalist)

From a certain point of view.

Ah, so you can be a bad husband at any time, but don't you dare call anyone a bad wife? Double standards.

 

What I have always found fascinating about Mon is that she’s basically always stepping into roles or taking on more after a good friend dies. If Padme had somehow lived I just know she would be the one leading the rebellion.

While Mon was already leading the rebellion when Bail died it was probably a huge blow for her and the rebellion

She also likely survived to see the second destruction of the Jedi Order and perhaps even the destruction of the new republic. She has lived a pretty ****** life, but she always carried on. And stepped up when it was required

 

I really don't know if this is trolling or not. And so I don't know if I should respond or not. And so...I will. I'm not sure how to say this, but the Star Wars franchise is explicitly anti-authoritarian in all respects. In no way, shape or form is this content leaving the following question open to interpretation: "Is authoritarianism (fascism, whatever you want to call it) possibly good?" It has a firm answer to that question. No. And in that context, the person in a spousal unit that scoffs at the other person's concern over the commitment of a massacre by an Imperial is, quite clearly and unequivocally, in the wrong. And the person in that spousal unit who is, on the other hand, risking their life against that authoritarian system, is, quite clearly and unequivocally, in the right.

In no way is it a legitimate interpretation of this show that Mon Mothma is a bad wife, a bad mother, and a bad person for being committed to opposing the Empire. There is nothing indicating that this is what the creators of the show intended. I mean, even within your insane reading of the show, what exactly did Mon Mothma do to demonstrate she is a "bad wife" vis-à-vis her husband?

The Imperials in this show are very nuanced, but they are presented as...being in the wrong. There's no way around that. If you really think the Empire is a better system than the Republic, then...you're probably watching the wrong content.

Now if you're trolling or joking, and I've wasted my time, so be it. Actually, I'd prefer that. As it would be a little disconcerting to have an actual fascist sympathizer on this forum.

 

I'm not a troll. Just expressing my opinion, different from... well, democratic? Does that make it wrong? Not at all. You just don't like it. Let's agree on this. But yes, I consider the Republic - the Old one and especially the New one - to be a mess.

I haven't been on the forum for a long time...
Is there a rule that prohibits loving the Empire and/or some of its characters?

And what form of government is good? There is no single answer.

There is no point in arguing. I just wrote my little opinion about a character that I didn't like anyway, and now I don't like it at all.

 

And so that happened.

 

Well this was enlightening.

 

More like endarkening, amirite?

 

This is now the Moff Monma thread.

 

Mal Mothmama

 

Classic internet.

 

You can truly find some of the tales of all time anywhere on the internet. It’s fascinating and concerning that people with such takes actually exist. And there are thousands of them.

 

In Ahsoka, will Mon Mothma have a role larger than a one scene appearance via hologram or will she be a cameo only?

 

We don’t know.

 

Obviously, you’re correct. We don’t know.
I speculate she’s going to be a one episode cameo, in the scene featured in the trailer, rather than a recurring character

 

I hope we get more than one Mothma cameo, and that the NR doesn’t once again (as in Mando S3) serve as primarily a punching bag.

 

I'm predicting we'll get one episode that's all about Mon Mothma. It's becoming a tradition.

 

The NR doesn't come across well in either TM, TBOBF or TFA. It struggles to deal with lawlessness and the vacuum of power in it's early days and it fails to see the rise of the FO in it's final years.

 

Might be worth checking in on Boba Fett for an episode standing around doing nothing as well.

 

Hey he deserves it after Ahsoka popped up in his show. Still one of the weirdest decisions in all of Star Wars.
