The Bad Batch The Bad Batch 2.08 - Truth and Consequences - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I think as a clone with limited exposure to civilian life he’s a bit naive. The Republic wasn’t exactly a healthy government when Sheev got to it.

 

Yes, but it was still much better off than it was when he got his hands on it. Better to have a failing democracy than a fascist dictatorship.

 

Sure, buts entirely besides the point.

Germany during the 20s and 30s was in a horrible place following WW1 and the Great Depression, so I always keep that in mind when acknowledging Hitler’s rise to power. He wasn’t supernaturally intelligent, he was just an charismatic opportunist who took advantage of a nation during some very difficult times. It’s the same with Palpatine. When a fascist rises to power it’s less about their individual qualities and more about the horrible environment that allowed them that rise.

 

God , I just wish they'd give Sid his own series, especially since McDiarmid is willing to do these shows.

 

IT be like Andor only in animation, but with more political stuff like Mon Mothma in Andor.

 

I'd just love to see him manipulating all the ambitious types , letting them betray each other and then he gets to deliver the final checkmate, all while acting so beneficial.

 

Clone Wars did that sometimes with the Padmee episodes.
