The Chancellor is a tragic character in Clone Wars


I watch some of The Star Wars:Clone Wars and I really sympathize with the chancellor in this. He's a dedicated man who wants to end the war with Grievous, but he's also a very sweet and kind, but physically small/frail person who is a bit of a pushover. He never seems forceful or commanding and his enemies and other politicians probably take advantage of this.But I think he's tragic because he's so passionate and dedicated about the galaxy and works close with the Jedi, yet he ll never be one of them. He's a Chancellor, yes but also still a human without special abilities. Some Jedi like mace Windu and Yoda are kind of rude to him and condescending like "you don't have the Force. This is Jedi business, go away" which is sad because the Chancellor is trying as hard as he can.It's even sadder because Anakin is like a grandson to him and he can never relate to his experiences. I often wonder if the Chancellor feels sad or inadequate because he can't feel the Force or do anything beyond sitting in an office and making speeches. And his old age and health must be hard, too. The war probably aged him so much.He's frequently must be in danger of Greivous and the other bad guys and doesn't have a way to properly defend himself and relies on the Jedi. I think he must feel helpless a lot.Anyway, I think it's kind of tragic. I hope he's not too hard on himself because even without the Force he can still do good. His job IS important. via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2hxuqX1
