To be fair, they didn't really allow it, Tattooine was outside of the Jedi's jurisdiction. And two Jedi that happened to get stuck there don't have the power to make a whole planet end slavery.

Not saying they shouldn't have been more proactive, but there are billions of planets in the galaxy and there were only about 10,000 Jedi. They had limited resources.

Could have forced the republic to send an army

Anakin is just a psycho bytch.

I said it before. If your job ain't treating you right just resign. You don't go on a fukking killing spree.

Anakin had a chance to style on the council too. If he really wanted that come up, he should have served Palpatine to the council once he revealed himself. If the council still won't give him his props just leave and become a family man. He was the only one in the order getting p*ssy anyway. :mjgrin:

Obi Wan and Satine beg to differ.

The Jedi were concerned by the power Anakin displayed. By 22 he had obtained grandmaster level status. The emotional instability he displayed had been present from his childhood. It was the duties of the council to find the best methods to harness and control his abilities. Especially as the assumption was he'd been the prophesied child. A child who'd started training at a much later stage than most recruits. Giving a NEED to ensure his vast Force sensitivity was controlled. Your Jedi rank corresponded with your affinity for the Light Side and achievements at said level. The Jedi are obligated to allocate their students a rank befitting of their status.

Anakin's emotions came from THEIR belittlement of his achievements. Time and again a challenge was presented, he conquered it and excuse was presented of his incompetence. Its no different than a sportsman with incredible individual merits but slighted because they lack a championship. Palpatine's manipulation and conversion of Anakin played on his fear of loss. He lost his mother. He lost his apprentice. He lost his rightful rank. He would lose his true love. Meanwhile, there is a whole fukking Jedi in Windu who harnesses Dark and Light Side and finds balance. All 12 of those clowns and not one of them thought to volunteer him as teacher??

oh this nikka Star Wars for real :ehh:

slavery wasnt illegal in the republic i guess :mjpls:

planets rights :mjpls:

actually if they made the movie about jedi trying to free slaves it would have been a lot more interesting than the phantom menace we got. coulda had them trying to free anakin, then at the end they weren’t able to free his mom for some reason. that would set up him blaming them later on for her death. it would have been a lot more engaging than the political intrigue BS we got instead

but they could hve AT LEAST gone back to free anakins mom once they got back to the capitol. why did they just leave her to be a slave for the rest of her life? :mindblown:

Technically slavery WAS illegal in the Republic, they just didn't enforce it very well. :francis:

If Qui Gon doesn't bring Anakin in Sideous would have found him first and the Death Star happens a lot quicker:ufdup:

At worst it happens around the same time. Regardless of when he finds Anakin, Sidious still has to work his way up to being the Emperor before he can get that built.

But even if Sidious found him first I think the Jedi would've been better off. Better to have Anakin be another Dooku/Maul then to have him betray them from the inside and catch the Jedi off-guard.

Anakin was stronger than them, he'd kill those 2 due to the rule of 2, while also amassing Sith abilities, with the added bonus of not having his power halved by Obi wan becoming mechanized. This also means Anakin never met or falls in love with Padame leading to Luke and Leia never being born.:ufdup:

The Jedi are the dumbest group of people in star wars. They consistently make the wrong decisions

More arrogance than anything else. They were powerful and respected but refused to evolve themselves which is what led to their demise. Which is what happens to most Empires in the end when they have a spectacular fall they became too comfortable.

Qui gon was just following the prophecy by identifying the one that brings balance to the force.

It was the Jedi fault they didn't get mom out of slavery and to let Palpatine rise under there noses

:ehh: all of this is true but it's probably a lot harder for Order 66 to be successful without somebody on the inside betraying them

With Anakin they'd be more efficient since part of the sneaking was to get closer to Anikan in the first place :francis::merchant:

Why does everybody act like Qui-Gon was this great Jedi? As far as I can see the whole situation is basically his fault.




Mace: Don't train that nikka, he's dangerous, he might turn to the dark side :wtb:
Yoda: Train that nikka do not, dangerous he is, turn to the dark side he might:wtb:

Obi-Wan: Low key I think they're right :wtb:

Qui-Gon: It's my dying wish, yall gotta honor it :shaq2:

Yoda and Mace: :beli:

Anakin (15 years later): *turns to the dark side, wipes out the Jedi, spends the next few decades oppressing the galaxy and helping the Empire commit mass murder*




Seems to be like the galaxy would've been much better off if Yoda and Mace ignored Qui-Gon and gave Anakin the :camby:

Nah the greatest mistake made was giving the most powerful force user to ever live to be trained by a padawan.
