Now that the trailer is out, it's probably best that I get this out of the way before acolyte releases
The Jedi are right about the Force and the dark side
The Jedi did not lose their way
The Jedi were not corrupted
The genocide of the Jedi was not their fault
The Jedi are not wrong for being part of the Republic, it is in fact a good thing
The Jedi are not arrogant for thinking the sith are gone
and while we're at it the sith are evil, always, end of discussion
The Jedi do not steal children
If someone wants to leave the Jedi, that's allowed, no one will stop them
The Jedi are right about attachment
Attachment is not love (SW uses the Buddhist definition because Lucas is a Buddhist and the Jedi are based off Buddhist monks, Buddhism defines attachment as being possessive or unwilling to let go of people or things)
The Jedi do not forbid emotions, they forbid being controlled by your emotions, you must control them
The Jedi are not forbidden from loving people, nor are they celibate, they just can't get married (big whup) because their duties must come first
Being peacekeepers doesn't preclude the Jedi from fighting in war, sometimes to keep the peace you have to fight back, especially when its against tyranny, see WWII (or Ukraine today)
Gray jedi are not a thing
The Jedi are not slavers or complicit in slavery
Oh and of course, the Jedi are not elitists for not training non Force sensitives, (Han voice) that's not how the Force works, dave filoni broke the rules so he could shoehorn sabine into a Jedi (to give the benefit of the doubt, I do believe sabine's role as ahsoka's apprentice was meant for an original character but things got condensed by executives, so maybe filoni isn't entirely to blame here)
(Edit)
The Jedi are not cops
The Jedi are not the government/the rulers of the Republic/galaxy
The Jedi do not persecute other Force groups
Padawans are not child soldiers
Feel free to add anything I forgot
Do not, DO NOT!! add anything Jedi critical, I'm done with it and won't hear it, don't have something nice to say? Then go away, I will block on sight, either reblog without comment (either in the reblog or the notes) or don't interact at all

Look I really like Anakin, but I also don't think that Palpatine had to work too hard to get him to fall.
Palpatine magnified Anakin's frustration with/distrust in the Jedi, but that's just it. He only worked with what was already there.
Anakin was just like that™. He wasn't an inherently *evil* person, and I think he is very good at heart, but he had massively obvious egotistical and selfish tendencies.
Anakin's whole thing was that he wanted to have his cake and eat it too.
He was understandably traumatised by his life as a slave, but he also kind of just refused to try and accept or understand the Jedi's teachings on attachment and emotional regulation. And accepted what Palpatine said because it suited him more.
The Council were 100% right to tell Qui-Gon that this kid was both too old and that his emotions were all over the place (and more than expected for even a kid like him. I absolutely think Anakin would have slaughtered the Tusken Raiders without any kind of external dark side influence in his life).
He didn't have to stay and be a Jedi once he fell in love with Padmé. Obi-Wan would still have been his friend/brother figure. And Anakin wouldn't have fallen into poverty, he could have easily found work and been just as technically powerful and famous, if not more.
But he thought/knew he was special, so didn't think it should matter that he broke the rules. He wanted the prestige of being a Jedi master and wanted to be with Padmé, so that's what he did.
He wasn't a perfect cinnamon roll that Palpatine managed to sink his claws into. He already fundamentally disagreed with the Jedi, but was too self-absorbed to just leave.

This is just your casual reminder that the Jedi were not the bad guys, they weren't morally or philosophically in the wrong, and they certainly didn't do anything to deserve what happened to them.

Helloooo, to all SW fans! 👋
Sooo, I have decided to make this like a… monthly? 🤔🤔 Reblog, to search for other like minded pro Jedi individuals like myself in the SW fandom, so I can find more of my little fandom corner.
So! 😁 I humbly ask those that are Pro Jedi, and do NOT blame them for their own genocide (🤦♀️🤢🥶) to reblog or like this post, so I can follow more SW fandom blogs.
I also would follow fans who are Anakin critical/anti Anakin. Although I’m more of a pro Jedi fan who still has sympathy and SO much love for Anakin’s character (🥲💔❤️), while still realizing the fault lies with himself, I also enjoy reading a lot of critical analysis on his character too.
But any Anakin fans who love him to death like me and aren’t afraid to hear criticism are welcome to like this post too! ❤️
The same goes with pro Jedi/pro clone blogs. The Jedi are my ultimate favorite blorbos, but the clones are also so very dear to me, and I love to read headcanons about them. 💕
Hopefully this isn’t a weird post. Lol. 😅🫣😂 I just thought this was a good way to expand outward into more fandom territory.
Thanks! 😜💕❤️✨

And no one talks about the blanted kidnapping the Sith do. ..😩 the double standards
When a Jedi takes in a child, it's kidnapping. But when a Mandalorian does it, it's a foundling.

A lot of people seem to have the idea that the point of SW is that Jedi are not automatically good
No
The Jedi are good, full stop, end of discussion
But
Its not that being a Jedi is what makes you good
It's that being good is what makes you a Jedi
To be a Jedi is to choose good, you can't be a Jedi if you're not choosing good, and if you're choosing good you're choosing to be a Jedi

I didn't even open it, because it's Screenrant, but I'd just like to say the Jedi Council didn't need to be redeemed because they didn't do anything wrong. Thank you and good day.

Star wars fans stop projecting your problems with Christianity onto the Jedi challenge: impossible
#i also fucking hate the catholic church don't get me wrong#but the jedi are buddhist and their structure has nothing to do with the Church#also I just discovered that the dear Lesley did use her problems woth her christian upbringing to write the jedi in the serie#which explains a lot#just please use your brain and stop spewing racist bullshit against a clearly eastern inspired culture#star wars#jedi#jedi order

Hey remember that scene where Kanan had that vision in the ancient jedi temple where the vision was like “Ezra’s going to turn to the dark side.” And kanan at first was like “NO CAUSE I WON’T LET THAT HAPPEN EVER!” And he failed? And then when he said “You’re right, He absolutely COULD turn to the dark side. But I am going to make sure I do everything I can to guide him, to help him make the best choices for himself and his relationships, because that’s all that I can do.” And then the narrative framed that as the correct answer?
Hey remember how that’s kind of similar to Anakin’s Situation in ROTS? And how he fucks himself and the rest of the galaxy over when he makes the choice to try and stop Padme from dying, leading to a self fulfilling prophecy where she dies anyway? And now he’s lost the Jedi, His wife, and his chances of living like a normal human being.
I refuse to believe that she “lost the will to live”. It was absolutely tracheal damage from ANAKIN CHOKING THE SHIT OUT OF HER when she said “You killed KIDS?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” And possibly Sidious siphoning the life out of her with sith force bullshit to keep Anakin’s stupid burnt ass alive.
Everyone says that the Jedi never put Anakin in therapy because he fell but if you're saying you never left a therapy session and immediately did all the shit your therapist just told you was bad and you agreed not to do you're a liar

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the Council Scene in the Phantom Menace and think the Council were in the right
Jedi are supposed to be compassionate, right?
so where is there compassion for a recently freed former slave child, who has been separated from everything he ever knew, including his mum who is still in great danger as a slave, after risking his life for people he just met?
like. the council scene is supposed to show how set in their ways the jedi council has become in the prequel trilogy.
they look at a scared child and reject him for being scared because they judge him by the standards of a child raised in the temple.
it is callous, unempathetic and apathetic.
do you know how tiny and vulnerable nine year olds are?
they rejected a nine year old for factors completely out of his control and shunted him off to a war zone because he didn't have enough trauma already.
this is what I mean when I say the PT Jedi order is flawed
I want the Jedi Order to do better! I wish they had learned from their mistakes and treated Anakin with compassion instead of callousness, but canonically that's what they did.
now, if the 'jedi never did anything wrong' can excuse the council's treatment of a child in phantom menace, they are viewing the movie through a heavily biased lens and are blatantly ignoring blaring red flags
a jedi should be compassionate.
they were inflexible and rigid, adhered to conventions that where nowhere in their actual code.
not one of them asked why anakin was scared, or why he came to coruscant, or why his parents had given him up, or even bothered to learn about the huge sacrifice he made.
anakin is at his best self in PM.
it's a tragedy for a reason.
#anakin skywalker#the 'jedi did nothing wrong ever' crowd does my head in if you come to wank on this post again istg just go rewatch the scene instead#jedi council critical#star wars#apathy

I wish the Jedi could just disappear somewhere safe, happy, respected, and appreciated. The galaxy did not deserve them, and it suffered without them. 
I was reading (watching?) somewhere that as the clone wars progressed, the Jedi were beginning to lose their connection to the Force. And I cannot even begin to understand how terrifying and devastating that was for them.
I can't even imagine.
This thing that has guided them all their lives is suddenly disappearing. Their connection to their culture and their livelihood is being taken from them, and they can't put their finger on why.
The amount of confusion, fear, and anger Mace himself must have been feeling due to this makes me so sad for him. Because i'm sure a good number of it was directed at himself and his situation.
And it turns out he was right all along about who it was coming from, and was powerless to stop it.
(I think alot about how the Jedi put Anakin up on a pedestal of privilege, but it makes me sad to know they gave him everything they had and he still chose evil over them. That he toyed with them, and their connection to the Force. That he got to be the Chosen One while others arguably deserved it more)
And still, Mace died because he chose the path of the Jedi, and trusted the Force even when the Force was being shielded from him, because he still gave Anakin a chance
