      That fic was awesome I loved it so much I think it’s one of my favorite prequel fic right up there with Supreme Chancellor Obi-Wan Kenobi by Stonefreeak on tumblr (which has the most chapters) and Ao3. Awesome fic I can’t recommend either of them enough. I think I love Supreme Chancellor a little because right from the start it hooks you from the start when a random an OC character finally has enough and rather epically calls out the Chancellor and the Senate as whole for the nightmare that Clone Wars is making the galaxy become. Here’s some of the highlights of that speech....
      ———- ————- ———
      “My fellow Senators!” Senator Mandai straightens, her long scaled body glittering in the light, the feathers on her jaw and crown swaying as she turns around to address them all. “The war has been going far longer than any of us could have imagined. It has dragged on, caused more damage and cost more lives than any of us could have ever dreamed.”

      “The Republic is funding an army of clones. Sentient beings created and raised simply for the sake of dying in our war. I ask you, is this Just?!”

      “In the midst of it all are the Jedi. Acting as Generals and Commanders of the Republic Army. An army made up of clones who are little more than slaves!”

      “The peacekeepers of our Galaxy have been turned into army leaders. Forced to go against the very core of their own teachings, for the sake of this Republic. My fellow Senators, this cannot continue! Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has been incompetent since he was voted into office after the Vote of No-Confidence against former Chancellor Valorum! He’s been inefficient, slow to act, and allowed his own term to be dragged out without a new vote for far longer than any competent politician should have allowed! The war has dragged on because our Chancellor has done nothing to stop the powers that drive it, and it is the Jedi and the Clones that shoulder the weight of his incompetence!”

      “By Republic law B-45-SK-9, the Jedi Masters of the High Council are our fellow Senators. The Master of the Order, Master Mace Windu and his fellow councillor Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi—High General of the Republic Army and renowned as The Negotiator—are both in session today. With the direct backing of 134 other Senators, I call for a Vote of No-Confidence against Chancellor Palpatine.”

        Ah ah, thanks for the rec – but I kinda know that speech by heart already, oops xD I've been following Chancellor Kenobi on tumblr for like three years at least.

        It *is* an amazing, and the politics of it are way too clever for me to ever write.

        Thanks for the comment!
