Star Wars Episode 2 - The Droid Army

Sidious is controlling both sides, so it could be that he moves one chess piece and then needs to move the other chess piece. I would add some degree of self-absorption to that. There's a certain, like, institutional weight to it that keeps it from being able to adapt. The only film that ever even deals with it, I think, is Solo, is a sort of like droid rights character but by that time, I'm like, we've already established that this is the rule of the cedar.
