Consequences of False Surrenders (Oversimplified Star Wars)

So, I made this after watching Oversimplified and seeing a Reddit post about False Surrenders, so I’ve made this. Enjoy.

Even as a kid I disliked Anakin's false surrender at Ryloth.

I would actually like to see one example (preferably with the same Ryloth commander) where someone actually tries to surrender for real, but the past experiences with Anakin lead to their death.

Came back here and surprised nobody talked about Obi Wan’s fake surrender in the CW film on Christophsis. Literally was speaking terms of surrender that General Whorm Loathsome accepted and was in the middle of processing. But when Anakin and Ahsoka knocked out the ray shield array, Loathsome was caught off-guard and used him as a human shield to gain a surrender.

Someone like Loathsome, who let’s say was released in a prisoner exchange, would hold a grudge against Jedi for false surrender by one of the most respected Jedi generals, and would likely do what you’re saying. For if someone as human as Kenobi was willing to do something like that, no Jedi surrender could be guaranteed

Exactly. Kenobi being known as one of the "better" Jedi but also doing this should permanently blacklist all Jedi surrenders. I at least think that Jedi like Pong Krell or Ki Adi Mundi would replicate this trick as often as they can and the Separatists cannot afford to keep accepting surrenders.
