They Play Musical Chairs So That They Can Sit Where The Sun Doesn’t Shine In Their Eyes. Whenever Anakin

They play musical chairs so that they can sit where the sun doesn’t shine in their eyes. Whenever Anakin does something stupid, Obi-Wan wants to be able to give him the Look without having to squint his eyes.

I am absolutely fascinated by this Jedi High Council Seating Chart (from Star Wars Super Graphic) because I’d never really stopped to think about who was sitting in what chair. Some of them stay in their same seats!  Like Mace, Yoda, Plo, and Ki-Adi are all in the same seats from beginning to end.  Some of them leave the Council for whatever reason, we know Even and Adi died, we don’t know what happened to Yaddle or Yarael. But then there’s like. KIT.  WHY ARE YOU IN ONE SEAT IN SEASON 4, THEN TAKE OPPO’S CHAIR IN SEASON 5, AND THEN BACK TO YOUR REGULAR ONE IN SEASON 6 THROUGH REVENGE OF THE SITH? SHAAK.  WHY ARE YOU BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE?  YOU CAN BARELY KEEP TO ONE? And I am desperate to know if this is a musical chairs situation where whoever gets there earliest gets to choose their seat and do they sometimes deliberately pick another Councilor’s seat when they want to be annoying?  Is Shaak picking her seat based on who she wants to nettle today? Are there ALL OUT JEDI MASTER BRAWLS OVER WHO GETS DIBS ON WHICH SEAT OR A FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR THE COMFY CHAIR WITH THE BEST VIEW? Or is there some meaning, like “you sit in chair #6, you’re head of the senate ambassadorial committee” or “you sit in chair #3 and you’re head of the younglings’ daycare” and Yoda parked his ass there in chair #3 and refused to move for decades??? I AM DESPERATE TO KNOW.
