But Theyre Not Like The Ultimate Evil In Their Universe - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
I do have specific things I think the Jedi deserve criticism for, but every time I consider posting an opinion, I have to stop because then anti-Order crowd will show up and I don't want to deal with that shit just because I felt like addressing the whole "Qui-Gon Jinn tried to mind-trick a sovereign ruler with no expectation of censure or oversight" thing
I'm firmly a pro-Jedi blog, and that means I can't talk about the ways the Jedi were theoretically deserving of criticism on a Watsonian level, not because I don't want to suborn my own arguments, but because people jumping in to 'agree' with me would be so annoying, you know?
These are things worth discussing, but that worth is outweighed by the inevitable irritation.

I feel like people just forget that the Jedi are meant to be the good guys
and there is an argument to be made about protagonist centered morality
but comparatively the Jedi suck the least in this universe
we can talk about how much they do suck within their circumstances
but they’re not like the ultimate evil in their universe
I’m a Jedi neutral mainly because many things about the Jedi reek of colonial attitudes and racism
but they didn’t deserve total annihilation
just a hot take
the Jedi share blame in the disaster that is Star Wars government but they aren’t really at fault for the Jedi murders
sorry about clogging your post op
