#the jedi suck

[underwaterspiderbird]

they’re trash too. good people in religions don’t undo the eons worth of atrocities their faith commits upon groups who don’ believe what they believe. there’s no such thing as a good jedi, their life a lie and so is yours.

how could they truly love being jedi? they were taken as babies and didn’t know anything else. they didn’t know how to think for themselves, what normal, healthy relationships even looked like, or even what true family was. and then they were raised by an institution who insists they’re good, passive-aggressively tells them their feelings & the things makes them them are bad & wrong, then throws away and cannibalizes any pupil who questions the dogma: who doesn’t drink the kool-aid. maligns them as dark and evil so more people don’t question them.

face it, they were brainwashed little goose-steppers who did whatever their masters said. they only thought they loved the jedi because of the veneer of goodness & righteousness thrust upon them: they never loved the jedi, they have fucking Stockholm Syndrome & grief over the ppl they met & called friends.

if anything, the jedi who did love being jedi, loved being jedi the same way the people of jamestown loved the flavor of the kool-aid.

THE JEDI WERE GOOD, ACTUALLY. ANAKIN AND AHSOKA WERE OUTLIERS AND YOU ALL JUST SUCK AT COMPREHENDING BIASED PROTAGONISTS.

More silly Luke Skysilverfoxwalker doodles

in my mind, almost nothing of the sequels is canon, but Luke is still grumpy and somewhat depressed, his dad tries to help tho

i bring a sort of "the jedi lost the second they went to war using a slave army" vibe to "the jedi wouldve won the war and things would've been perfect if this one dude hadn't fucked it up" posts that jedi discourse bloggers don't really like

actually I DONT want jod na nawood redemption because we need to learn how to let shitty characters be shitty and it’s pretty wild how the subversive plot twist of this whole thing so far is ‘no he’s actually just shitty’ and it’s SO overdone to have spontaneous changes of heart in media nowadays that I didn’t even realize I was expecting it until we seemingly hit the point of no return

Hello again!

Thanks to your fantastic TL4J universe, I have acquired Jedi Survivor! I haven't started playing yet, but I'm excited to! Do you have any words of wisdom for one who has barely played video games? (Btw as always, your art is amazing & I love it so much)

another!! um my words of wisdom are put it on the lowest difficulty possible and make sure you have lots of tissues on hand at all times

So the take goin around right now is that acolyte shows how its era of Jedi are better than the prequel ones because they're less quick to draw their lightsabers

Yeah, gotta disagree on this

1. The prequel Jedi really aren't overly quick on the saber draw (there are certainly individuals who are, but they're people like Anakin/ahsoka/etc, sucky Jedi/people taught by sucky Jedi), pretty much any time they take their sabers out its because the situations call for it, which brings me to...

2. There is a fundamental difference in the times between the prequels and acolyte

Acolyte is in a time of peace and a peace that will last another century

The prequels are a time of rising tensions and war, the Jedi here must always be on guard

And on that note

3. Personally I'd say that the fact that the acolyte Jedi aren't drawing their sabers in response to a threat shows that they're not taking this as seriously as they should, that they're treating the situation with kids gloves, in contrast to the prequel Jedi who are responding appropriately to the danger to their lives an lives of others by not hesitating and dealing with the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible

It's all so ironic, this show is very much trying to go for a "this is how the Jedi messed up and became the prequel Jedi" message, but because it's based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of what the prequel Jedi are, it actually ends up making these Jedi from a century prior to the prequels seem worse

In other words, the acolyte era Jedi are complacent and arrogant, while the prequel Jedi have adapted with the times

[antianakin]

The ONLY TIME I could genuinely see Anakin becoming a Crechemaster by choice and actually enjoying it is in an AU where he's found by the Jedi as a baby and raised among them from the beginning and then remains a Jedi and it's a happy fix-it AU somehow and Palpatine dies and either there's no war or the Republic wins the war and Anakin's had like 2-3 Padawans or something already, he's been on the Council for like ten years, he's a little older now, like 50 or 60 years old perhaps, he's ready to move away from responsibilities like the Council or taking on an apprentice of his own, so he decides to settle down into being a Crechemaster, teaching up the newer generation of Jedi, occasionally wandering off on shorter missions if he feels like it or traveling places when he gets the urge since he knows there's plenty of other Crechemasters who are looking after the kids as part of the Jedi's communal system and his absence won't mean a bunch of younglings are suddenly left without supervision or caretaking. It's a nice retirement after several decades as a Knight where he was constantly away from the Temple doing other work or focusing a lot on raising one apprentice or being a part of the Council.

“Anakin Skywalker was the best Jedi” uh no that was Mace Windu. Mace was the best Jedi.

Rewatching the prequels and TLJ lately through a reaction channel is reminding me about the parts of Star Wars I like.

Seeing the usual discourse of half the fandom unfairly painting the Jedi as worse than Sidious somehow, and the other half unfairly defending the Jedi so hard they start making excuses for why letting slavery happen is okay actually, is reminding me why Star Wars and its fans are the worst.

Regarding the Acolyte ask and your tag about Master Bald Shrek (oh my gosh Bald Shrek 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭) and yeah coming from the High Republic books fandom with a 100 years younger Master Vernestra: we have no idea why she's like this either and personally I think it sucks. I was so excited to see her in live-action, why'd they make my girl change so much in 100 years to become that. Do not like.😭

omg what she was a canon character before the show??? you poor Old Republic fans you were done so atrociously dirty w the acolyte

Kesett Week 2024 Day 1: Role Reversal/Outfit Swap When Boba barely escapes an attempt on his life, someone has to take his place to lure his would-be assassin out. It's unfortunate that Mandalorian armor carries the weight of generations, but Cal is nothing if not dedicated to protecting his family.

Hiiii I saw this going around again and. Um. @anaclastic-azurite tagged me a month ago and I didn't get around to doing it so here I am now 😂 This snippet is from my sub Cody fic

To his great surprise, Cody isn't late to work.

He will analyze that later.

“Hey, is that the same outfit from yesterday?” his coworker Nashir asks.

Oh. Wonderful. He knows where this leads. To the rock and a hard place of “teasing” he was wedged in before he got so fed up he went and bought new outfits.

So what if he doesn't see the point in wearing completely different clothes everyday? It shouldn't matter. Natborns are bizarre.

But. Well. It still doesn't matter… but he does have a different reason this time.

“Yes. Some of us have sex lives,” Cody says dryly.

Have you been working on a thing? Consider yourself tagged

part of the problem with the baby stealing discussion about the jedi order is that no matter what's canon and accurate and decided on most people's first impression of how jedi child acquisition happens besides (?) is qui-gon cheat gambling for a child slave and the reaction he gets being "come on man that kid is way too old you know how this works" and that does stick unfortunately

[ocs] kiss !!

I'm curious, how is Sol different from any Jedi we've seen?

I'm just... I'm curious. Has the writer of this "article" ever watched or read anything with another Jedi in it before?
