A Thousand Stars: Episode II, Part 33
Jul. 6th, 2023 01:10 pmBack on Geonosis, an imprisoned Obi-Wan is visited by Count Dooku. Their relative positions to each other are arranged in an intriguingly peculiar manner.
Obi-Wan is floating above him so that Dooku has to look up to meet his eyes, almost as if he's humbly asking for help.
But this is all an illusion -- Obi-Wan is suspended against his will and has no control over the mechanism that turns him slowly in circles. This is no doubt intended to disorient prisoners and leave them feeling helpless and confused. When Dooku suggests that a Sith Lord controls the Senate, Obi-Wan can only crane his neck around to try to look at the Count's face and search desperately for the truth amid all the misdirection.
We finish the scene with no answers or certainties, suspended in an ever-shifting web of mystery.
Next time, we'll see the allegedly-controlled Senate in action....
