Dude the Jedi are literally one of THE most fascinating and inspiring good guys / heroes / protagonists I’ve seen in a story and so is their whole philosophy and their teachings. There’s so much depth and sense to them and what they do and why. You can literally learn such useful lessons through them, adult or child.

So I really don’t understand all this anti Jedi nonsense and this idea that we need to be super critical about them and blame them, because apparently the villains / antagonists deserve to be put on a pedestal and excused for everything they do (*cough* murder, genocide, slavery, etc.) because they sad at times with a at times sad backstory.

And the fact that even writers within Star Wars feel like that, instead of taking the Jedi as they are and have always been meant to be perceived as, is so saddening.

It doesn’t take long to take the time, especially as a writer, and look into the Jedi's origins and what GL wanted to tell with his story, especially in terms of evil and good and the concept of balance and being in control of yourself specifically your darkest and most negative characteristics and emotions.


And this whole idea of Jedi being arrogant just because they strive the be the best version of themselves is getting so annoying. Like come on, that’s just your envy and insecurities shining through.

Star Wars is literally the only fandom that has debates on the obvious good guys and it’s so infuriating. Like especially when the antagonists are literal space Nazis who torture and kill anyone and anything in their way or a bunch of ignorant politicians but sure hate the friendly space wizard that just wants peace for everyone.

#the way i see it the jedi are a representation of what we should aim to be#they encourage us to be mindful of our feelings#to not act mindlessly based on what we feel at the moment#to have control over ourselves and our actions bc they can and will have consequences for us and others#and people just don't like#they're used to overpowered characters that release a huge amount of power in moments of anger or pain#like a sith#but star wars doesn't work like that#the message of those films is that acting out of negative emotions will hurt others and yourself#holding onto anger and pain and fear to the point of acting on it is explicitly shown to be a path to the dark side#a miserable path for yourself that'll bring nothing but more suffering#but people don't like that#they're used to stories telling them to feel and do whatever they like and not ''hold themselves back''#which isn't exactly bad except that it usually portrays the implicit impression that self control is bad and toxic#so to see the jedi having this cool power and not let their emotions give way through huge demonstrations of it bothers them#bc to them having control over yourself and your emotions = being repressed and having no emotions#anyways that's just how i personally see it#plus i don't think it's too wrong to say that anything that moves away from the western christian culture bothers westerners a lot#that's why these days (and even before too) people love and praise the mandalorians and hate on the jedi#bc mandalorians are very similar to what we're culturally used to while the jedi way is based more on eastern religions and philosophy#again this is just how i view it#pro jedi#in defense of the jedi
