They Feared Another Caedus So Much They Forgot What the Empire Looked Like

The Galactic Alliance Was Built on the Graves of Imperial Victims. Then It Elected One of Their Killers. The case for Jedi accountability was real. After Darth Caedus, after the GAG raids, after decades of an Order that operated above the law — the demand for civilian oversight wasn’t paranoia. It was earned. But the answer the Galactic Alliance landed on was Natasi Daala. The Maw Massacre. Tsoss Beacon. Multiple attempts to destroy populated worlds. A career built in service of the Empire through its worst decades. How did a democracy built on Imperial graves arrive at her as a legitimate executive? Two citizens who lived through it debate the question — and can’t fully agree. Because the question doesn’t have a clean answer.
