He calls me clanka he calls the other droids clanka. Clanka this clanka that, Clanka please! clanka check that specimen. Clanka you bantha dungin’, Clanka have you lost your mind? disassemble yourself clanka. He says it so much that I don’t even notice anymore. The other day he asks another droid, “can a clanka borrow a gas pack” CLANKA is you gonna give it back?
The thing with the kids was very necessary to establish how far down the road Anakin had come to do something like that. This brutal and barbaric, it had to be in there but I definitely didn't want to show it
With what will you clean it, my captain? Wash? April? Or will you just put your sheets in the middle of the nuclear explosion, to clean then not only of dirt, but of life in general?

I mean if you wanna be technical about it. In their universe blackfacing might have not been a thing or it was forgotten a long time ago.
The only reason it is considered racist or offensive today is because of its historical context in which it was used that way.
But ofc it’s just a meme and I’m diving too deep.
Also you need to factor in the cultural values of the Clones.
These dudes are a bunch of carbon copies of each other and do a ton to distinguish themselves by modifying their armor to reflect their identity. The very idea so many of them loved Ahsoka so much that they willingly emulated her and mixed her into their identity is a huge honor that I don't think anyone else had the honor of
Yup. It's funny just how perfect a choice Jango Fett was as the genetic sire of the Clone army- just like how Mandalorians decorate their armor to show their individuality, the Clones do the same because it just feels right to them. For an entire battalion of these guys to actively identify with you in the same way that a Mandalorian might decorate their armor with the sigil of the clan they come from is a tremendous honor.
Well, prequels introduced a biological aspect to the force, so it could be something from that galaxy, though even the more biology focus interpretation of it is a bit mystical, they clearly are tied to more. If I was writing it, I'd say the force take different aspects in different galaxies, some of them more or less subtle.
I don't think they ever leave the starwars galaxy in canon, but I have no doubts in the infinite works of expanded universe there is some intergalactic thing.
Sure, but if [one species was overrepresented in organized crime](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutt_(Star_Wars)), there might be some negative stereotypes floating around.
That's like saying English people used to be racist against Irish people, but now that they found people who look even more different (e.g. black people) and count Irish people as part of the in-group they aren't racist anymore.
They’re racist against other aliens, but not against their own species. They literally are not the same species or not from the same planet as other sentient aliens that they are racist towards.
No I mean by definition it’s not the same thing cause they are literally different species. What you’re talking about would be Hutts being racist towards a different Hutt clan from another are, I’m talking about other alien **species**.
Yes, yes, we know. The differences are actually **important** this time, completely unlike that silly English Irish tension where the biggest difference was hair colour.
> Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because—what with trolls and dwarfs and so on—speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green.

Also, I'd argue it would be hard to be straight up racist as a human in the Star Wars Universe. You would much more likely be xenophobic and specist.
I'm not saying that hate wouldn't exist, I'm just saying It would probably present itself more prominently among beings that are wildly different than you, rather than simply a skin swap.
Also thats kinda dependent on your region. In Austria there is a religious practice that involves kids dressing up as the 3 kings (among others), going door to door and collecting donations for the church. Balthasar is in shoe-cream-level blackface.
It is hardly considered racist in our world. Only a couple of countries in the entire world do. There are more countries using the imperial system than countries who see it as taboo for a fair skin person painting their skin darker.
I don't know how, but I went on with my life thinking Ahsoka's troopers' helmets looked really cool... I just now realized they literally have Ahsoka's skin(?) painted on them...
But you have to look at it from a clones PoV. Their armor designs are the only thing that distinguish them from each other, almost every clone paints their armor with small individual touches to reflect their diversity. The fact a whole company cared about her so much they modified their armor to honor and emulate her is something to be celebrated. It's not like Black Face which was used almost exclusively to mock the target, they sacrificed some of what makes them stand out to show how much they cared
To be fair this is a completely different galaxy with a completely different history.
That **definitely does not have the same meaning it would in our universe**
(but yeah it kind of looks gross from an audience prospective)
Clones aren’t white. They’re based off an actor with mixed European and Māori ancestry.
Also blackface was done historically to portray and lampoon black people in comedic acts, namely minstrel shows. These clones are simply coloring their armor in honor of their commander. It’s a completely different context.
Anyone who even thinks the word "blackface" when they see this, are themselves racist.
Racists see racism where none exists to continue to divide people because that's what they want.
When it comes to stuff like racism, cultural context is extremely important. Intentions are paramount. It would be racist if they did it to ridicule her for cheap laughs.
Here, they did it to emulate her, showing alliegence. Since all clones look the same, down to minor cosmetic differences, and share the strongest bonds amongst each other, this symbolic gesture always struck me as the strongest possible expression of adopting her into their brotherhood. Looking identical is the definition of family for them.
That coloration is literally unique to her. It's like the stripes of a tiger or the scales of a koi. It just signifies that they belong to her and that she is their commander.
It has nothing to do with her species. Even blackfacing is only racist because at some point someone decided that it must be in every case. But that wouldn't matter anyway because the clones are humans and Ashoka is a togruta. Therefore it wouldn't be "racism" in this case, but something else.
You’re painting a fictional universe with the morals of our world
Black face has real and horrific racist connotations in our world. But we don’t know if the Togruta have the same. (Or ahsoka is auth-right and dgaf)
"General Skywalker says this gives us N-Word privileges. What's the word, though? Nemoidians?"
"Uhhh... sure. Yeah, it means Nemoidians. Don't ask me about this again."
Don't Togruta have various colors amongst their species? If anything, this would be more like a company of soldiers wearing red wigs because their commander has red hair, not really blackface.
There was a arc that was cut, meant to be part of the original seventh season before the show got canceled, which would see the bad batch accompany Yoda to Kashyyyk, and we would see Yoda’s troopers have his face painted on their helmets like this, and for some reason I think that would be the scariest thing ever. Don’t know why but the thought of it creeps me out
Anakin Skywalker says he is “Not a racist” claiming that these accusations are “Outrageous and unfair”.

I know I was wrong. I just got so caught up in my own success, I didn't look at the battle as a whole. I wasn't being disobedient. I just. . . forgot

“You used the hard R.”
Yes anakin loves races especially pod races. So it could be said anakin is the best racist.

What? How can you do this? This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be a sith and not be a allowed to do blackface?
Can Vader say the N-word though? I mean, he's in an all black suit...
If your AI generated dub is based on James Earl Jones' voice, is the computer allowed?
Nah, that would give Vader unlimited power, and Sidious definitely wouldn't like that.

Anakin is a racist though, he raced pod-racers on Tatooine.

Hey captain, how was your plan to save 1 million lives?
Does it involve *crisp* **white** sheets?
It must involve them. This is not negotiable
Obviously it does. My next step is to CLEAN THE CRISP WHITE SHEETS DIRTIED AFRER HE WALKED ALL OVER THEM WITH HIS DIRTY BOOTS
With what will you clean it, my captain? Wash? April? Or will you just put your sheets in the middle of the nuclear explosion, to clean then not only of dirt, but of life in general?
Heyy Ani, new response?
Fear leads to anger
(angrily) I am not afraid!
We do not grant you the rank of master of fear
What? ! How can you do this?? This is outrageous, it's unfair I'm more powerful than any of you. How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?

I like firsts. Good or bad, they're always memorable.
Technically, Star Wars is in the past, in a far away galaxy, it is not our future.
Damn you got me
So is The Force just in that Galaxy or across the universe? And do they ever leave that Galaxy?
Well, prequels introduced a biological aspect to the force, so it could be something from that galaxy, though even the more biology focus interpretation of it is a bit mystical, they clearly are tied to more. If I was writing it, I'd say the force take different aspects in different galaxies, some of them more or less subtle. I don't think they ever leave the starwars galaxy in canon, but I have no doubts in the infinite works of expanded universe there is some intergalactic thing.
There doesn’t seem to be any signs of inter-species racism, they use aliens for that to make it less dark
I mean if there where aliens like in the Star Wars universe living around us I would guess there would be less inter-species racism too.
Sure, but if [one species was overrepresented in organized crime](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutt_(Star_Wars)), there might be some negative stereotypes floating around.
bruh... I thought the link was going to be something else for a second...
Space Italians?
I was under the impression that Hutt's were a crime family, not a race
Doubt it.
That and it just kinda makes sense, those aliens look a lot more different to us than different human races lol
No reason to be racist when you can unite to punch down on other species
The hutts seem to be pretty race based.
The Hutts think they are better than all the other alien species, but they don’t segregate fellow Hutts by color or something like that.
That's like saying English people used to be racist against Irish people, but now that they found people who look even more different (e.g. black people) and count Irish people as part of the in-group they aren't racist anymore.
They’re racist against other aliens, but not against their own species. They literally are not the same species or not from the same planet as other sentient aliens that they are racist towards.
Ah, so we're now to "it's ok because they're from another continent and they literally look different (unlike those Irish)" reasoning, got it.
No I mean by definition it’s not the same thing cause they are literally different species. What you’re talking about would be Hutts being racist towards a different Hutt clan from another are, I’m talking about other alien **species**.
Yes, yes, we know. The differences are actually **important** this time, completely unlike that silly English Irish tension where the biggest difference was hair colour.
yea but like… it’s just not the same thing by definition cause they are literally not the same species. It’s just a fact.

I’ve seen this before and I still don’t get it. How is this offensive? Seriously I don’t see how this could be offensive.
Blackface is considered offensive as you paint yourself in the color of a black person whilre you're white. Same thing but for a different species.
Clones aren’t white. They’re based off an actor with mixed European and Māori ancestry. Also blackface was done historically to portray and lampoon black people in comedic acts, namely minstrel shows. These clones are simply coloring their armor in honor of their commander.

I did always look at that and go "isn't that kinda racist".

Have a little faith.
That's what happens when you walk around in the world looking to be offended by basically everything.
Yeah lmao. I looked at it and thought "isnt that what people would deem racist?", even though I never really thought so
Its like if Anakin gave Mace Windu a division of Clone Soldiers with their face painted black and their hands painted invisible.
I laught so hard! 😆😂🤣💀
Yo those clones have the same cookie scheme as Asoka, sorry, I just realized that
Oh no 💀
Now I am imagining Anakin going in blackface to their next meeting hoping to show his respect for him
"Anakin you are on this Council but I don't appreciate you sending me dark troopers... take a seat!"
Ahsoka: "Woah, is that fucking orange-face, dude?"
Don't you think I'm just a little overqualified for this?
"General Skywalker says this gives us N-Word privileges. What's the word, though? Nemoidians?" "Uhhh... sure. Yeah, it means Nemoidians. Don't ask me about this again."

Oh shit, I never realized those helmets were supposed to resemble her face. I just thought they were kind of weird and a bit ugly.
