@JediNightChris@Undisclosedx4z@sw_holocron@Collider Doesn’t matter anyway because the sequels aren’t part of Lucas’ story. Palpatine died in Return of the Jedi and doesn’t come back according to Lucas. We almost had Lucas’ sequels that were based on his story treatments but Disney rejected them. We were robbed of the real sequels.
@TatooineSons The prequels had a great story and worldbuilding from George Lucas that greatly helped them despite their issues. The sequels had an incoherent story, weak worldbuilding ,and disrespected Lucas’ six movies. It would have been better if Disney used Lucas’ story treatments instead.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron Wrong in the first sentence. You are right though in the second. They were manipulated because they let their guard down. But they still had good intentions.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron Not true. The Jedi love everyone. They did trust him when it made sense. The council had complete confidence in Anakin protecting Padme. Anakin was rightfully denied the rank of Master since he hadn’t earned it and it was a political stunt by Palpatine. No rights were infringed.
@HackerAnt@sw_holocron I did. The show literally ends with a Jedi cover-up. Headland confirmed that had season 2 happened, Yoda would have helped with the cover-up.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron Obi-Wan did second guess him but that’s the point. He wasn’t the right master for Anakin. Qui-Gon was. But the rest of the Jedi were very reasonable. They believed in him protecting Padme. Windu was right to not trust him in ep 3 given Palpatine’s influence.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron Not giving in to emotion makes sense for them. It’s about making the selfless choice in order to keep the peace. Giving in to emotion is what Anakin did when he chose his fear of Padme dying over the wellbeing of the entire galaxy. Jedi feel love for everyone, not attachments.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron Anakin willingly wanted to join the Jedi after being freed. Qui-Gon warned Anakin that it’s a hard life but Anakin still wanted to. The Jedi Order didn’t even want to train Anakin since he already had attachments. They only allowed it because Obi-Wan was going to for Qui-Gon.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron All of these are quotes from Lucas in 2019:
“They [the Jedi] are the most moral [beings] of anybody in the galaxy."
“They [the Jedi] have good intentions but they have been manipulated, that was their downfall."
Also this is a space fantasy universe, not the real world.
@TheMothershipYT@sw_holocron The code had nothing to do with their downfall. It was Anakin’s fault for breaking the rules with Padme. Anakin could have left the Jedi anytime. Lucas confirmed their downfall was being manipulated but they still had good intentions.
@StcFangirl@oldtoons_ Yes there was. It’s called Return to Neverland. Though unlike the original, it wasn’t made by Disney’s main animation studio but instead by their (now defunct) secondary animation studio that mainly made direct-to-video sequels. This was one of the few that made it to theaters.
@jtimsuggs But why? It disrespected the lore by misrepresenting the Jedi. Lucas has said that the Jedi are the most moral beings by the time of the prequel era. This idea that they were corrupt is nonsensical.
