The "Trade Dispute" / Political Crisis (e.g., Shutdowns, Allegations of Foreign Interference): A specific, seemingly contained political crisis erupts – It serves as a strategic maneuver by "Donald Trump" to create chaos and justify further consolidation of power.

Main Themes:
* Surface Tension and Underlying Discontent: The play opens with significant polarization and widespread public frustration with the status quo. There's a sense that the established "norms" of governance are already strained

Anakin Skywalker (The Promising Figure with a Dark Potential): A young, charismatic political operative or rising star within the new administration who is drawn into the orbit of the "Emperor" and slowly becomes corrupted by power, perhaps ultimately becoming a key enforcer.

Jar Jar Binks (The Unwitting,Bad Decisions/Political Blunder): Pete Hegseth
*Jar Jar's bumbling actions lead to significant negative consequences. Represented by political miscalculations, despite their intentions, amplified divisions and enabled the "corrupt leader's" narrative.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Younger, More Traditional Guardian): Fiona Hill
* Obi-Wan is dedicated to the Jedi Order and its rules. Non-partisan civil servants who, despite their loyalty to the system, forced to speak out when they perceived a threat to fundamental principles or national security.

Qui-Gon Jinn (The Wise, ): James Comey / Robert Mueller / Former senior CIA guy
* These figures found themselves at odds with the administration, highlighting concerns about ethical conduct, the law and norms. Their "maverick" status comes from their willingness to challenge the power structure.

Queen Amidala (The Embodiment the Republic/Norms): AOC
* Reasoning: Amidala fights to preserve Naboo's sovereignty and the Republic's integrity. In this play,it can be a specific, morally upright politician that could embody this role on stage, representing the fight to maintain the "old ways."

Nute Gunray / Trade Federation: Stephen Miller / The Trump's hardline faction
* Reasoning: The Trade Federation uses economic blockade and legalistic maneuvers to achieve its goals, ultimately serving Palpatine's grander scheme.

* Sheev Palpatine / Darth Sidious (The Corrupt Leader / Manipulator):
Donald J. Trump.
* The "two faces" of Palpatine (the seemingly legitimate Chancellor vs. the shadowy Sith Lord) can be mirrored in Trump's public persona vs. the alleged strategies behind the scenes to undermine or bend rules.

The core themes will revolve around the erosion of democratic norms, the rise of populist authoritarianism, the manipulation of information, and the struggle to preserve established institutions.

Play Title Idea: The Republic Divided or The Reckoning

Can people that drop that they were .. position on .. campaign and don't provide good leadership communication themselves probably was not a real part of the leadership team. No matter what they say. Otherwise, wouldn't she be able to lift up and empower the people she is talking about?

Freedom of speech, anyone?
