Did you watch the prequels? The Jedi council were fully aware of how unstable Anakin was, Obi Wan was the one who kept pushing for him.
Yeah quite a lol lmao
Mate, the reason why Anakin is instable is because of the Jedi and their rules and because Anakin was too old to fit those rules and didn't get a proper education to handle those emotion positively.
Instead of accepting his emotions. The jedi tought him to repress them. Which is exactly the reason why he exploded at the end.
And while yes, they senced something, they continued to push Anakin in the hand of the wrong people (Palpatine) knowing full well that it was a risky business.
To some extent yes, but that literally doesn't take away from what I've said. Sidious used the politics the Jedi seded to ultimately gain control
Yeah, that's what fascists tends to do.
Are you fucking stupid, can you not hold two thoughts at once? How does what I've said contradict anything you said?
You said "it's a simple good guy VS bad guy" when in reality, it's much more complicated than that.
he also makes clear the Jedi's are the anti imperialist force
No. Not at all.
You are confusing anti EMPIRE and anti IMPERIALIST. The Jedi turned against the empire, true. But their power was so massive on the entire galaxy and politic that they were imperialist. Imperialism is a processus of domination from a group or a culture over other groups. And that's what the Jedi were. A force of order that had so much power and influence that they dominated the Galaxy with their vision of the world. Not necessarily by extending their territory, but through ideological imperialism.
The fact that Jedi are able to take force sensitive children all over the galaxy should make you understand the power that they hold over other populations.
That combined with their sectarism and their ideology related to the repression of emotion.. can only lead toward disaster.
And that what Lucas depicted during his prelogy.
No they are not. Lucas himself says the Jedi are the selfless entity of the world, they are not meant to represent a power that is arrogant.
Again, being selfless does not contradict the ideology behind the jedi order. And I doubt Lucas said that the Jedi wasn't meant to be arrogant. Especially when you see episode 3. So either you are lying or Lucas does not understand what he wrote (which would be very surprising since all I've seen from him concures with the idea that yes. He wrote the Jedi to be a flawed system. A system that would inevitably push Anakin to do the worst mistakes and turn to the dark side.
But it is more because they being the good guys let the democracy handle the political affairs and ultimately came to bite them in the ass.
Again, it's not about being good or bad. It's about the system.
Again they are not, Lucas calls them the good guys. You are projecting headcanon into the Jedi.
Yes, they are. When you isolate and teach young people to repress their emotion and not to love in order to gain control and goodness, you are being sectarist and imperialistic when you are doing that on massive scale.
That's literally the point that episode 2 is making in this scene where Anakin is literally bending the rules of the Jedi order to make them say something they don't to suit his desires:
The fact that Anakin needs to bend the rule to be able to find happyness here shows why the system is broken in the first place.
Pretty sure the showrunner saying "I relate to the Sith guy who just wants to live as himself" is projecting the Sith as anti fascist.
No. He is just saying that the Sith guys just wants to be himself (and turned evil because of that). if you want to find Anti-fascist in Star Wars, you need to look at the Rebels.
The Sith are just people who are tracked by the Jedi for using the force in a particular way. And this pushes them toward criminality and the dark path.
Ah yes, the mother who was literally using hostile powers. Nobody with a right mental state would say that wasn't warranted
It was hostile only the moment the Jedi entered are tried to seek the girls.
The power wasn't hostile before that. If you think their power was problematic then yes, I can see why you don't see the problem with the Jedi.
The murder wasn't warranted, that's the point of the show. It's the perception of the Saul and a form of paranoia for the girl's safety that pushed him to murder the mom.
Again, those people were literally threatening to the Jedi
Who literally smashed their way through multiple time and stalked the girls. The threatenning ones were the Jedi, NOT the clan of women.
They had no business busting in in the first place to demand to see the girl.
and appear to use a dark force like ability to turn into a demon.
Not the Dark force.
Just the force.
What do you think the force is when the Jedi are doing this ?????
They could've done more to make the witches sympathetic but instead it looks like a clear self defense case, to imo is shit writing.
They did exactly what they needed. I had absolutely no problem understanding that the Witches were sympathetic and the Jedi were the one at fault here. But it seems your biases went in the way.
George Lucas makes it clear they are the good guys, as flawed as they can be they ultimately are the moral compass of the story.
Mate... You should watch Star Wars sometimes :
Star Wars is a classic Good V Evil story like LOTR.
Omg.. say that you don't care about Star Wars without sayin it.
Star Wars is literally about the fact that it's NOT a good VS evil story.
And that's why I said that there needs to be a political section here, for people to be able to understand what they are watching.
The fact that you think a Star Wars show being like GOT is good shows that only one person here misunderstands and it isn't me
Sure
