The Jedi Council just think too much about Skywalker
OK seriously, do these guys just sit around in that poorly-lit Council room gossiping about Anakin all the time? “Oooooh, do you guys approve of Skywalker’s dark garments because I sure don’t TSK TSK” “I heard he has a Sith clothing catalog in his dorm room but you didn’t hear it from me” – or, do they just shit-talk everyone?
Really, I think it’s probably the latter. The Jedi Order totally seems like the kind of group where the rumor mill and gossip is out of control. These people have nothing else in their lives but Being Jedi; they’ve gotta fill their time somehow.
I bet Anakin starts a lot of false rumors just to be an asshole, too, like telling people that Obi-Wan wears a fake beard or something. In return, Obi-Wan tells everyone Anakin’s scar is from when he pitched face-first into the sidewalk after tripping on his robe while running from a bee (that actually happened, though.)
okay, but once obi-wan is on the council, do they nonchalantly ask him unsubtle questions in hopes of getting new material??
Oh, for sure. The Council practically let Kenobi in in the first place because they wanted more dirt on The Chosen One. For one thing, you know Anakin’s told everybody a way exaggerated story about how he lost his arm that plays up his own heroics and makes Dooku sound like an actual 5,000-foot-tall dragon that breathed Force Lightning at them. Sure, Yoda’s tried to clarify, but Anakin keeps insisting that “pfft, Master Yoda wasn’t even THERE for THAT PART of the battle…”
I have a feeling that once Kenobi joined the Council, they all suddenly had a lot more Council Happy Hours. Get a few drinks in Kenobi (which isn’t difficult, let’s be real,) and then all of a sudden all SORTS of Good Stories start coming out.
i bet none of them ever thought about the fact that obi-wan haven’t paid for a single drink during his whole tenure on the council. not one. they pretty much funded 99,9% of his alcohol intake over the clone wars.
anakin doesn’t find out why they keep plying his master with free alcohol, but he’s lowkey bitter about it all the same. nobody on council will fund HIS tinkering habit.
