@Tfmonkey The Jedi are hypocrites, they were established as a corrupt organization in episode 1, making decisions on behalf of the entire Galaxy from a literal ivory tower. The movies acknowledge the Jedi are forsaking their beliefs by involving themselves in politics/war, which is why they're losing their ability to use the Force and were eventually destroyed.
Yes, they can't be both peacekeepers and detached monks, I just don't understand why you're pretending the movies don't agree with you.
@Tfmonkey Finally, don't listen to freaking Red Letter Media's Plinkett reviews, he's the same hack who shed a tear of joy when he reviewed TFA and said "it was everything he hoped it would be".
The prequel haters became so viral, because the movies are a warning on how tyranny comes under the guise of safety and politicians will use fear to make you give up your rights. The prequels are as good as the originals, except they actually tell an important story that is dangerous to the government.
In all seriousness though the original trilogy told the exact same story about fighting back against corruption just fine. I wouldn't say the sequels are bad or even subpar (though the feminism soaked through like a carpet spill) but they were simply unnecessary.
@Based_Accelerationist @Tfmonkey Anakin slaughtered the Tusken camp with collective punishment, Did this start a feud with the Sand people and the Skywalkers and did they try and take revenge on Luke the day Obi 1 saved him,there is no innocent murdering,water stealing Skywalker
@Scubbie @Based_Accelerationist Ooooh, now I get why you brought up Star Wars out of nowhere. You're citing a poorly written and not thought out fictional movie series to make a point about Israel and Palestine.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
@Tfmonkey @Based_Accelerationist I thought the Sith backed Tuskens would have tipped you off
@Tfmonkey Then you might ask, if the Jedi see themselves as peacekeepers, why don't they help Anakin's mother? Well, why would they? They never cared about Anakin, nor did they put much stock into the Chosen One prophecy. It was Qui-Gon that literally had to die for Anakin to be accepted into the order. He also tried to free Shmi, but Otto refused. They were already stretched thin, Tatooine was far from an isolated case and they had far more pressing matters to deal with, like the Sith returning
