The irony that the pacifists only became effective when they started a para military insurrection is just golden

[yaboijoe]

I swear in half of the senate scenes, its only Sheev talking. Whilst the other thousands of senators watch him doing nothing.

Useless to anyone but Palpatine. After all he is the Senate

[garrettmartin]

Orn Fre Tah wasn't totally useless, he made sure that there was no food waste within 5 parsecs

People can hate on it all they want, but in my opinion including the senate in the movies was a great addition. Some of the arguably most important battles in Star Wars took place within the senate rather than some battlefield

[Jseibert]

I always thought Riyo Chuchi was a good senator. She was able to bring peace with the Talz help find Pantoran chairman missing daughter she voiced her concerns over the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill and was part of the jury of Ahsoka Tano trial.

I think the Darth Plaguies novel by James Luceno does a pretty good at displaying how badly things in the senate were: You had senators asleep/taking naps during sessions, acting like juvenile kids sneering and shouting to one another at times in mocking ways, being grumpy at their vacations being interrupted due to actual important things happening that needed them to do their actual jobs, and nobody seemingly really too interested in anything but themselves...oh, and of course: Assassinations - Either political plots to entrap someone someone did not like, or actual "we got bodies" eliminations were also a thing. So yikes: Talk about a place that would have needed a good scrubbing down and cleaning up from all the corruption and other poor practices that a rather Sithy buncha individuals had been carefully cultivating from behind the curtains for a millennia.

Politicians are politicians even in a galaxy far far away

In a nutshell Palpatine used the senate to gain more power and run the clone wars. Making it easy to play chess with both sides

[kingofrivia]

Mas Ameda the real OG - he knew palpatine was siddious and still made it trough without squeeling😂

[zexalbrony]

What about Senator Tills of Mon Calamaria, and Chuchi of Pantora. They seemed like good individuals who tried to actively help their people and try to do things diplomatically. We saw Tills doing some good work during the Battle of Mon Cala and she joined the delegation of 2000. And Chuchi wanted to end that civil war with the Tales peacefully, plus she was decent friends with Ahsoka by the looks of season 3.

Just saying, an even number of justices in the supreme court is a terrible idea. No tiebreaker vote.

[robertagu]

Ironic Mothma, Organa and Padme all started as stauch Pacifists. An slowly but surely ALL found themselves key leaders of eventually Legendary Combat forces. An proceeded to STAY that way pretty much the rest of their lives

[connorbeith]

I did like Padme's friend from Greedo's species, his development during the episode where Jar Jar pretends to be a jedi was pretty interesting imo and his death was pretty sad.

[silentreflection]

I just now noticed how eerily similar the republic government structure is to modern US. 
Man, I am getting slow.

[annuitcptis]

I just love the applause signs different senators use. It was the only thing I loved about those scenes as a Kid.

[dylanrivera]

I’m guessing that the people who hated the political scenes in the prequels were the same people who didn’t pay attention in history class.
(Edit: despite what many people say, history class is very important, if we don’t learn it, we’re doomed to repeat it”)

[tonyjackson]

Mas Amedda, and Sly Moore were adjuncts who were very integral with Palpatines rise. Malastare, Aquala, and originally Utapau were very pro Palpatine.

It's no coincidence Amedda was in Vallorums ear before his ousting.
