Star Wars’ most important battles were, for the most part, fought during the Galactic Civil War. But of the many battlefields, one that was never discussed was the political realm. As the Rebels took the fight to the Empire, Senator Mon Mothma played both sides as she tried to make a difference on the political spectrum while playing multiple angles behind the scenes. But as Ahsoka showed, even a hero like Mothma wasn’t immune to the faults of the New Republic that were born after the Empire.Mothma is one of Star Wars’ most complex characters, as her early years showed her as a fighter who couldn’t stand the injustice of the Empire and the atrocities that resulted from its reign. But once the Empire was defeated, the New Republic grew to become so against conflict and villainy that they left themselves open to attack from splinter factions of the Empire. Even though there were elements of Mothma’s actions that contributed to the rise of powerful enemies, it’s more likely that the government she helped establish led to her becoming a scapegoat.Before her live-action presence was more prominent, Mothma had sporadic appearances that made it easier to paint her in a less than favorable light when the First Order arrived. During the Clone Wars, Mothma was aligned with Bail Organa in their uncertainty over Supreme Chancellor Palpatine’s rule. When Order 66 was enacted, she was far from surprised that the Emperor seized control and always questioned the validity of his claim that the Jedi were enemies. This was proven in shows like Star Wars Rebels and movies like Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where she played a major role in uniting rebel cells against the Empire. But as Rogue One showed, she was also one to not go against the rules of diplomacy as Jyn begged for the Rebel Alliance to help take the Death Star plans, and Mohtma told Jyn that without full support, she couldn’t allow it, even if she agreed.RELATED: Was the Mon Calamari in Ahsoka Star Wars’ Admiral Ackbar?
