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

Agreed, but Lightsabers are also the best part of Star Wars

 The point of Star Wars is lightsabers

All things Star Wars exist for lightsabers

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

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".
