Ooh I’m going to watch all of these.
The Jedi just didn’t give enough hugs.
Yeah, for a religion that was about kindness and good, they showed a remarkable lack of empathy.
…
So like all religions?
I’ve always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.
You’re not master - yet. But don’t worry, you will be, it’s a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it…
Instead he just got “You are not qualified. Sit down”.
I think he didn’t get that encouragement because they didn’t believe it.
Yeah, from Episode I Windu and Yoda were doubting that Anakin was the Chosen One.
Equally, I don’t think Anakin would have lost his shit on Mustafar if he didn’t look up and see Obi-Wan standing at the top of the ramp in the ship like an utter bad bitch.
Although at that point he had already murdered children
“Allegedly”
Those holorecordings could have been deepfaked by the Jedi council to turn everyone against Anakin.
Who among us has not had that urge
If you want a super deep dive on the philosophy behind Jedi thought (which is at the core of Star Wars as George Lucas framed a lot it from his experience as a Buddhist) take a look at this YouTube video. I’ve never heard a more complete explanation of the star wars universe and it addresses a lot of the superficial criticisms people direct towards the Jedi and general stance the movies take on good and bad.
As a secondary plug, for any who played the RPG Knights of the Old Republic II, here is an awesome breakdown of the Kreia character by the same creator. Not just interesting from the perspective of fans of the game, but philosophy in general.
I watched that Kreia video a couple of years ago and loved every second, really good.
Thanks for these! Looks like I have some videos to watch…
Wow this feels like victim blaming… ;)
