Not Jedi Critical - Tumblr Posts

9 months ago

I see a lot of posts on social media that the council should have trusted Ahsoka, the council should have told the GAR to fuck off, the council shouldn't have surrendered on of their own it proved them corrupt--

Y'all, doesn't that scream corruption? And not the classic jedi criticism of being the Senate's lapdogs, but one that screams that the jedi aren't trustworthy, that they would always close ranks no matter what, that they'll protect justice and peace until one of their own is in trouble.

Idgaf if the jedi is against punishment or revenge or execution, the fact is that when there is collateral, if non jedi are hurt, they should lose all rights to keep it within the Order or bury it so it doesn't reach the public. If the jedi are okay with plain house arrest and rehabilitation for a terrorist or a traitor that's great, but to deny those who don't hold the same ideals of justice but were hurt by their actions just the same, who may have lose their daugher, son, father, mother, lover, etc. is deplorable.

Sure, revenge is not the jedi way, but the jedi serve the people. The jedi should not abandon their duty just because it is inconvenient. Even if admitting a jedi could commit such act would damage their image, playing favorites is betraying their ideals.

The jedi is one of my favorite factions and while they're not perfect, they didn't do anything wrong in The Wrong Jedi arc.
