Can't Believe I Now Have Sw Discourse In My Blog - Tumblr Posts

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.
