the jedi were cool in concept as this vague mysterious legend about space wizards that used to exist but they're all dead except for an elderly troll doll and that one scary bad guy. everything star wars does where jedi fully exist and are on screen doing dumb force poo poo and waving light sabers around is horribly lame. the more we learn about them the worse it gets. the original trilogy is great, there's really no jedi in it. yoda is too old to jump around and do force poo poo, obi wan is old and dies, luke does maybe one or two subtle force things but he doesn't finish his training to become fully lame. this is the correct amount of jedi the prequel trilogy is the worst, it has gently caress tons of jedi in it. it's awful and lame and everything the dumbass jedi do is embarrassing the sequel trilogy has more jedi poo poo in it than the original trilogy, less than the prequels. it's in the middle but still too much jedi. the mandalorian has no jedi. it's great the jedi need to die so star wars can live. say no to jedi

But yeah I did like the original trilogy’s presentation of them as just being like these weird mystic monks who were considered wise and whose spiritual powers also happened to help them in combat, compared to the prequels where they’re basically just superheroes that occasionally say some spiritual-sounding stuff.

Luke spending most of TLJ talking about how the Jedi suck and are lame was cool and thematically-appropriate, even though I generally like the Force stuff in SW more than the non-Force stuff.

kotor 2 is the best star wars story but its probably not a coincidence that all of the jedi are dead and the message is that maybe that's a good thing if you're writing a star wars make sure there's not more than like 5, maybe 6 jedi in the whole galaxy. that seems to be a good idea.

Actually the jedi are cool af, and the saber twirling in the prequels owns. I find it interesting that the ST affirms Kreias view of the force, there's a cycle where a dark jedi rises to overthrow the jedi and then a light jedi returns to "restore order". The Jedi and sith have caused destruction on an untold scale because of what amounts to religious doctrine according to that theory, so it seemed weird to make it canon because it does not reflect well on the jedi at all.

McCloud posted:Actually the jedi are cool af, and the saber twirling in the prequels owns. the jedi are stupid and their religion is kind of insane, they only look good in comparison to the sith because the sith are all full blown space hitlers the jedi thing is to basically just take people with psychic powers and go "just like, don't have emotions, man". maybe the sith wouldn't all be such space hitlers if they weren't all coasting off of years of continuously repressed rage. they also thought that "bringing balance to the force", in a situation where there were hundreds of light guys and exactly 2 dark guys, would be beneficial to them

the jedi/sith are really bland in the movies but i like how theyre handled in a lot of the expanded universe stuff that disney hates none of the movies truly delve into how much both the jedi/sith suck (except the prequels kinda) but a lot of the games and books gently caress with it

Doublestep posted:the jedi/sith are really bland in the movies but i like how theyre handled in a lot of the expanded universe stuff that disney hates The Clone Wars cartoon dives into the Jedi doing a bunch of shiiitty things (one Jedi leading dozens of clones to their deaths pointlessly to be a poo poo before he defects) and basically very strongly implies they're digging their own graves slowly through a lot of stupid actions, like not believing a Padawan when accused of a bombing and trying to play it off as their Jedi test to be a knight when they're found not guilty to which they pretty much say "gently caress off".
