    If only Democratic leadership had anything near the balls of Mace Windu. They’d pause the fight to pen an angry letter while Jedi, younglings, and the entire Republic get slaughtered.

      They were absolutely as blind as the Jedi Council, and just like the Council they waited too long to act. The Garland DoJ could have prevented this, had they prioritized justice over cowering to the rich, the powerful, and the fictional consciences of republican voters.

        Bullshit. The Jedi were fighting a war and still rushed over when they finally had proof. Acting before then would have literally just been their own coup. They had grown detached, for sure, but it also wasn’t their job to do literally everything to hold the Republic together.

        Trump had his Order 66 leaked and the dumbass Dems still stuck their thumbs up their asses. And it IS literally their job to hold the Republic together. There’s even a lot more of them than 10,000 per 10 trillion citizens.

        Why the fuck don’t Star Wars fans understand Star Wars?

          I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think the Jedi council was very clearly myopic and hidebound, not to mention their precognitive abilities were blunted by the influence of the dark side, much like the sanewashing of Trump in the media.

          Indeed.

      A Sith Lord in control of the senate you say? We must call the council at once and write a formal letter to Emperor Palpatine to tell him his actions are against the founding principles of this republic! And we’ll make sure to comply with his every demand, but be strongly against the morality of this whole situation.
