Chapter 622: Balancing Tools
Long before the operation began, they knew that in the middle of the operation they would have to confess their origins and a story about them to the Skywalker siblings, but in order to make the outcome as favorable to the expedition as possible, and to take advantage of the information available to them, they had a systematic discussion about when and how to reveal the truth.
After going through systematic research, the most intuitive film presentation scheme has been abandoned, because the plot of the Star Wars series of movies has changed a lot, full of twists and inconsistent values.
After watching it, the audience has their own unique understanding of the characters, forces, and even the plot in it, and has an extremely differentiated emotional tendency. If the content of the film were shown directly to the Skywalker siblings, it would most likely lead the two viewers in a direction that the expedition team did not want.
In order to maximize their direction in the direction of the allies that the expedition needs, the expedition needs to keep the two viewers in suspense at all times, and announce a qiē in a specific way when their doubts are maximized.
Because people can only show their truest selves when they are under pressure, and they are also the easiest to accept other people's opinions under pressure. In the initial plans of the expedition, they were ready to reveal the truth at the next stage.
However, Sister Xue felt that Luke couldn't wait, he was already in a relatively ideal state, although he couldn't say the specific reason, but this intuition was never missed, so Sister Xue decided that now was the perfect time to announce the truth to Luke.
After taking Luke to a small conference room, she asks questions and asks Luke to promise not to leak the truth as soon as she learns it. After getting Luke's affirmation, she begins to tell the story.
The story is about the Skywalker family, and the origin of the story naturally begins with the first appearance of Anakin in the prequel. Luke's biggest confusion at this time is probably about his parents' encounter. So starting here is the one that best guides his train of thought.
Sister Xue carefully observed the other party's reaction, and at the same time played him the video materials from the Star Wars series of movies. As a combat master known for collecting teammates and barrier-free mouth cannons, Sister Xue is very good at grasping the changes in the mentality of others.
Under her narration, the encounter and relationship development of Anakin and Padmé are far more passionate than those in the movie, and the "five good young people" like Luke, who are not deeply involved in the world, are easily caught up by her train of thought, and make up for the romantic and epic emotional journey of her parents.
But. Like all classic tragic stories, good things are destined to be shattered when they are created. Before Luke could make up for the happy moments of his parents, the Clone War was coming to an end.
When telling about Anakin's fall into the dark side, Sister Xue is partially embellished on the issue of position. In the course of her narration, she downplayed Anakin's crimes and emphasized his helplessness and eagerness to save his wife, which easily made Luke feel sympathy and understanding.
"What a good-hearted boy, am I too ruthless in flickering?" ......" Sister Xue commented in her heart after seeing Luke's regretful expression. She herself didn't have a good impression of Vader, and the effort to beautify him was only out of strategic necessity. In the long run. She's tried so hard to fool Luke and probably probably saved the lives of many innocent people, but of course, that's another story.
Seeing Luke being fooled so easily, she couldn't help but blame herself a little, after all, the people she usually fooled were some vicious interstellar criminals and warlords, and almost never fooled an honest person like Luke.
However, this little psychological unhappiness did not prevent her from continuing to fool around, after finishing Anakin's blackening as quickly as possible. The story reaches its climax, which is the first duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan. When he learned that his father was actually cut off and disfigured by his spiritual guide. Luke's face was full of horror, and he really felt like he had lost all his views.
Obi-Wan had never told him about these things, so it was no wonder that his dad was furious. Anyone who is made like this will be overwhelmed with anger! Luke unconsciously leans more towards Vader in terms of feelings.
After learning these new facts, he no longer had the tragic feeling he had when he recalled the scene where Vader slashed down Obi-Wan. Instead, he felt that Obi-Wan's tall image in his heart had collapsed.
Sister Xue continued to tell the story, abbreviating the main content of the two main parts. Although it is abbreviated, it does not seem to carry personal feelings. But the emotional response from the previous story had already spread through Luke's mind.
Looking at his journey from this new perspective, he gained a completely different perspective, and it was here that he realized for the first time that he was being used by Obi-Wan and Master Yoda as a tool to revive the Jedi Order.
They encourage Vader to fight against him even though he knows he is his father, and for the first time, Luke is disgusted by this instigation of cannibalism. No matter how righteous the Jedi's position is. This practice of keeping oneself in the dark is extremely shameful.
Seeing the other party's emotional reaction, Sister Xue smiled in her heart, and finally stopped at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back", quietly waiting for Luke to recover from his thoughts. After all, there are still a lot of differences between the ending in the movie and the ending that Luke actually experienced.
"The story doesn't end, does it?" I mean, my father and I ......," Luke, who was sitting across from him and looked down in thought, asked slowly, and most of the doubts he had accumulated in his mind were answered. But there was one more question he wanted to know, and that was the end of their Skywalker family.
"Your story is over, Luke, there will only be new stories from here, and only you can decide the course of this story." Your father is the same, and that's why we've worked so hard to resurrect your mother, who may be able to bring the best of Vader back to life. ”
"He's still kind, maybe not much, but it's enough for us to have hope for him. Our rear leaders have always wanted to work with your father, but only on his best side. If he's still the brutal and untrustworthy Sith Lord, then we have nothing to talk about with him. ”
Sister Xue didn't give a direct answer, and Luke seemed to be okay with that answer. It is worth noting that Sister Xue mentioned Shen Chao implicitly for the first time here, explaining the motive for the expedition to participate in it by the way.
She then gave a rough description of the expedition's organization and operation, and after realizing the true size of the other party's organization, Luke suddenly realized a danger that he had automatically ignored before, and that was the expedition's position.
He wasn't a sensitive person to politics, in fact, Luke was almost ignorant of politics, but he knew that no large organization could be built in the void, and the scale of the expedition was so large, then they must have their own needs and goals.
"Then my next question is very important, what do you want?" When Luke asked this question, he began to have some very bad conjectures in his mind. After Sister Xue gave an answer, he even thought that his worst idea had come true.
"We need warships, weapons, and many, many technical materials, some of which we can obtain independently, and some of which we need the help of other local powers. Sister Xue's answer was very simple.
"For what?" ”
"This galaxy is not the whole universe, there are hundreds of billions of people waiting to be saved in the places where we came. You have the best ships here, that's why we're here. ”
"But why help me, if that's all you want, you can talk to my father directly. Whatever you want, it can be delivered, warships, weapons, armies...... He's basically an independent warlord. ”
Luke asked. In his opinion, this should not be the whole truth, because if the goal of the expedition is really like this, then their current pro-rebel behavior cannot be explained, after all, the rebels have no extra ships to give to any of their allies. The Empire, however, never seemed short of warships.
"You're right, that's really the quickest-looking way. But not the best way. Our expedition is not a one-vote robber, believe it or not, we are actually all pacifists! ”
"In your opinion, the Empire and the Rebels are probably the only two active military forces in the galaxy. But that's just an illusion, and in the next 30 years, a whole new force will enter the galaxy, and they will create an unprecedented killing frenzy here. Cause unheard-of havoc. If possible, we are willing to help you avoid such a catastrophe, after all, a peaceful world is better for all......"
Senior Sister suddenly pulled another force here that Luke didn't know about at all and successfully occupied the moral high ground, although Luke on the other side was still in a daze at this time, completely unaware of what this terrifying military force she was talking about.
Of course, if any fan of the Star Wars series appears here, they will immediately understand what the force mentioned by Sister Xue is, that is, the super military group that has been crazy by the war. And it is worth noting that Sister Xue did not say anything here.
The Warrior Mania is the most powerful extraterritorial threat the Star Wars plane has ever faced, and this powerful race from outside the galaxy has developed extremely advanced biotechnology to seize control of the galaxy.
The expedition's interest in this force stems from the need for strategic balance, and in order to get the most out of what they need in the Star Wars plane, the expedition must find a reliable and strong ally.
This ally can be the empire represented by Vader, or the future new republic represented by the rebels. But no matter who they ally with, they need a third party to balance the situation, and the Battle Maniac is the counterbalance tool chosen by the expedition. (To be continued......)
