I've been thinking lately, apart from my usual brainfartstorming ;) , about what I would actually do if I were in the same place at the same time as Cody in that single defining moment known as Order 66.
I don't want to give away what exactly happens at that part (sorry guys) because the books tend to lead up to that point, but I will give you what I might have done. First of all, I'm actually a pretty shy person, and half the things Cody goes through I probably would make it out alive or with my sanity. Xp I don't even quite know how he does it! XD Going off of this, some of the things Obi-Wan does in my books...well, they are purposeful but not very thoughtful. There are times in the book when Kenobi is trying so hard to separate himself from the commander that I wonder why Cody is still loyal to him at all. It's very sad, because Obi-Wan has the best intentions, he literally cannot be friends with someone who, after the war, is more of a political, ethical, and economic problem than the Jedi can handle. And Jedi don't want to be seen with 'instruments' of war.
With all that said, I think I might not have been as quick witted or steadfast as Cody was when the Order was given. :L I would have ultimately been thinking about myself and my brothers, as well as my own interests instead of that of someone who had practically abandoned me. And the after effects of Order 66 sometimes make me question if I could have foreseen everything as clearly as he had. So sorry guys, I'd of probably ended up killing Kenobi. I don't think I would have done it out of hatred or frustration but probably out of desperation because I couldn't bear to see my brothers pay with their lives if he lived. Nor would I have been as quick as Cody was to see that third option, one that would require even more stress, and been able to act on it as perfectly as he did. (Obi-Wan fans please don't hate me! :( )
If anything, all this random babbling has kinda lead me to see how intelligent I've made him as well as unfortunate. :( I guess I really am wanting people to see how good people don't always get rewarded for what they do.
