who would i want to be? probably a early high republic jedi. who WOULD i be? some random unimportant person on a middlingly important, probably mid-rim planet, maybe a separatist one. probably a milquetoast human as well. if within the OT rebellion era i’d probably be one of those minor low level rebels that’s not really changing much and never goes to yavin but does hold strong political beliefs & would support but be critical of the new republic
if i was in the prequel era i probably would have anti-republic, separatist beliefs (á la mina bonteri, or even the delegation of 2000 by the end of the war. but no one so lofty or important) but be in the republic and have dreams of moving to a separatist planet. i’d prob be ignorant of the problems of the CIS and blinded by my ideals, like most separatists were.
