#im here for the narrative being pro-Jedi again

[david-talks-sw]

Hey, remember how I've been writing pro-Jedi posts here and on Quora since about 2020 and how there's awesome blogs on this site that have been doing it for even waaaaay longer?

And like, all these pro-Jedi meta accounts and posts were really a minority in a fandom that, for a while, had kept repeating the same "ACSHUALLY, the Jedi are the bad guys if you think about it!" line?

Until The Acolyte began to be marketed as a story seen from the Sith's POV, where the Jedi would be antagonistic... and suddenly a buncha people came out of the woodwork saying "the Jedi were the good guys!"

Remember how I previously said that this all felt to me as if this was all really just a big chunk of Star Wars fans going "ewwww girls"?

I stand by it.

Edit: AND it's really frustrating. Because now the counter-arguments are stuff that I know and can demonstate is factually incorrect...

... but so if I say anything, I'll get thrown into the mix with the "ewww girls" crowd. Fuck's sake.

As someone who’s actually paid attention to that show, I have one thing to say. Clearly, they did not watch that show because the Jedi were shown to be right. And answer for the “kidnapping children.” Literally the show made it clear that the Jedi team in question overstepped their boundaries and because they overstepped their boundaries everything went wrong. And the sadness of the entire tragedy was one of the coven was actually willing to give the child up to the Jedi, and she had convinced the others to let that happen. But because of their faults and fallacies, they made themselves act irrationally. And note it wasn’t the Jedi order has a whole that was blamed for but those individuals. And incidentally, the Sith are still shown to be the bad guys. And I get the feeling in season two a certain master is going to pop up because he sort of was watching the entire thing from a distance in the shadow as per usual he is the evil master ride after all.
