Let's talk about Mina-Bontri. In fact, I quite like her, because in my opinion, her plot is a relatively mature attempt in the children's animation "Clone Wars", but then Disney stopped.

People who have watched the cartoon also know that the original plot of Mina was that she was assassinated by Count Dooku because she advocated peace, and her death was only mentioned briefly. Here you can see some obvious plot patches and processing.

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 Galactic Republic, it is Jedi Order.

In this children's plot, there must be a bad guy and a good guy. Therefore, the entire plot emphasizes how correct Anakin is, how correct Galactic Republic is, and depicts Mina as a person who abandons darkness and turns to light.

As a young animation, this design is understandable, but for the creation of a character, it is sad.

Mina does advocate peace, but the basis for her advocacy of peace is Onderon, Confederacy of Independent Systems, not you Galactic Republic and Jedi Order. She should have her own thinking, her own position and her own interests, instead of shedding her life and blood for the great cause of Galactic Republic's reunification.

In fact, in the animation plot, the initial attempt was to depict the life of Confederacy of Independent Systems from another angle, which would make the war more three-dimensional. But it is obvious that Disney has braked and returned the plot to good guys and bad guys.

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

Similarly, there are also plots of Stila-Gerrera and Suo-Gerrera in the animation, which also have obvious braking marks. Initially, I did want to talk about the harm caused by their uprising activities to civilians. If that were the case, my evaluation of this animation would definitely not be what it is now.

But unfortunately, their influence on civilians ended up being that Stila cast a huge projection, climbed up, shouted some slogans, and then blew up a power plant, and the people started cheering. Come on, it's another good guy and bad guy plot.

But doesn't Disney know? not necessarily. You see in "Rogue One", the old Suo-Gerrera is still a scumbag. So they know what it should be like in a mature plot environment.

You, an absolutely weak Rebel Alliance, stood up and resisted under the instigation of Galactic Republic. Is it possible that it would have no impact on the people? Maybe just go up and shout a few words for freedom? People think about life and food, not these slogans.

So the reason why I spent so much money on the plot of Onderon is, on the one hand, because there will be a very tragic war here in the future. On the other hand, I also want to redefine the people Mina-Bontri, define Stila's uprising, and define the nature of this war.

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

And why I want her to die is because I am telling you that Onderon is powerless in this war.

Whether it's Galactic Republic or Confederacy of Independent Systems, you can flatten and round them at will, unable to resist. The so-called freedom is just an empty talk, a pie of nothingness drawn by Jedi Knight for them.

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