Uh, so, according to THE ACOLYTE, before the fall of the Republic, the Jedi not only coerced and abducted Force-sensitive children in indefensible ways — even when operating outside the bounds of Republic law that apparently gave them free reign to do whatever they wanted to kids — but also practiced systematic cultural genocide, with Jedi academies basically operating like outer space residential schools? That's sure, uh, an interesting creative choice, particularly since the witch coven included more women of color than in most of the previous movies and shows combined, and particularly after ANDOR's subplot about Cassian Andor being an indigenous boy that Maarva Andor literally abducted.
