Personally, I Find It Hilarious That Chewbacca Is Older Than Palpatine.

THIS TOOK A MILLION YEARS

The worst-off person at the end of The Old Guard isn’t Andy or Booker, it’s Copley. The man has the job of being the beard for this group of old assholes, half of whom are depressed and half of whom are in a perpetual honeymoon phase, plus one who has yet to figure out just what immortality means (PS. It means skiing off the top of Mt. Everest) When he goes to do the paperwork he’s astounded at how these people managed to stay a secret for any length of time in the 20th century and beyond. Andy has become an honest-to-god cryptid with a massive internet following (it would help if she’d just stop having one night stands and doing the ole’ love and leave em’ routine) Booker regularly goes gambling at and cleans out high-end casinos, which means he has literally every mob on the planet after his ass, Joe kills 100+ people every month for breathing in a way he didn’t certify near Nicky, and when Nile gets over the shock of things it dawns on her that she can do literally everything and anything and not die, which. is another type of hell altogether.  Nicky is the only fairly normal one out of them all, until Copley finds out he secretly owns seventeen different fortune 500 companies and runs a black market or something, and Copley has to take a month off to fuck off back to Booker and just like. drink for ten days straight. This is a disjointed mess, and not even remotely meant to be taken seriously, but Copley probably thought he got off good by being made into the Guard’s secretary/PR man, but my point is that that is distinctly so NOT the case.

Imagine it's some time during the clone wars and it's not going to well during one battle. Obi wan ran out of ibuprofen an hour ago and rex lost anakin in the mess of droids and cant find him. Echo and fives swapped armor at some point and keep forgetting to answer to whoever calls their names. Ahsoka is really trying to girl boss but shes getting a little too close to the sun. What to do?

and then it's like god descending from the heavens. A bright light is descending, in reality. The only thing anyone hears before the explosion is "YEE TO THE HAW" and then everything within a ten mile radius is electrocuted- droids, clones, and jedi.

This proves fatal to the droids, but the clones and jedi suffer from just the electric shock. Obi wan glances at fives and echo, who are both knocked out on the ground, and ahsoka and rex, who are sharing similar looks of confusion, as Jesse and cody are both shaking like they're still being electrocuted but really that's just them

From the dust cloud that rose, anakin walks out with the >:> look on his face and says, with his hair frizzing up and his eyes a little to excited, "I found :> a bomb >:>"

And they kind of pass this off, you know? Until order 66 comes around. Anakin is literally bowing down to a sith lord, about to go take some kids to heaven (or hell, ya know) and palpatine is like "ayo execute order 66" and it just. Doesnt.

Because that electric bomb, the strong one from years ago? It may have accidentally fried the circuits in the inhibitor chip. So anakin is all like "let's go do murder" and all the clones are like "no" and hes like aight (okay to make this a bit more realistic let's say they talk him out of it idk? Its funny)

And that's the story of how stupid tcw anakin saved rots anakin bc hes dumb

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
