Star Wars

Was the Jedi Council the galaxy's biggest mistake? Even based Qui-Gon saw past their bullshit and corruption.

It was 25,000 years old by the time the Clone Wars had rolled around. They must have been doing something right.

God, so much talent on the technical side yet so much mediocrity on the creative/directorial. Think of the hours of work that went into making this shit shot.

What's stopping someone shooting an RPG at the Council Chambers? It's so exposed. Is there a lore answer?

Nah that stupid long neck cunt sitting there was the galaxys biggest mistake

Probably the fact that there's a ton of Jedi in there would discourage most

According to the new EU, a secret sith shrine hidden under the temple clouded their senses so they are completely blameless.

The biggest bullshit call was that Anakin was 'too old' start training.
Luke was a grown goddamn man when Yoda started training him, and Anakin himself wasn't that much older than the 'younglings'.

Also, even worse, they already knew his magical bacteria count was off the charts, so he was gonna eventually discover his power later on anyway, but still, for reasons fucking unknown, they chose to let a person like that roam free instead of keeping him close and away from the dark side.
It didn't make any fucking sense at all aside from "because plot"

what is george's stance on united nations?

I hate this entire section of the movie. Damn near nothing happens.

Padme goes to get help from the Republic. They don't help her.

Qui-Gon brings Anakin to get trained as a Jedi. They refuse to train him.

All that happens is Palpatine getting put into the running for Chancellor which could have happened off screen.

>Luke was a grown goddamn man when Yoda started training him

And even he said Luke was too old.

> so he was gonna eventually discover his power later on anyway

He already did. But he would never be able to consciously harness and use it without being taught. If left alone, Anakin would've just ended up as an everyday, slightly above average, capable guy in the galaxy.

> they chose to let a person like that roam free instead of keeping him close and away from the dark side.

Because they had no reason to believe that the Sith weren't extinct except by the word of a man who they knew didn't play by the rules.

And before that it was Sheev's presence clouding their ability to sense the dark side

I thought that was him using some fucking secret sith temple under the city to hide his energys or something

Nah. The Sith are capable of masking their presence within the Force. It's one of the reasons why they've been able to hide for a thousand years.

>buy fancy chairs
>put actors in front of green screen
yes, very technical, indeed.

>i sense a darkness inside the boy
im paraphrasing, but thats the reason yoda gave for not wanting to train anakin. whether he thought the siths were gone or not, doesnt matter. he knew anakin had the potential to become evil, and instead of wanting to keep him as close as possible, he refused to train him. stop trying to defend this shitty story-telling

The Jedi were a totalitarian cult. Their main activity was suppressing other religions and securing their power base.

They were cunts basically.

>he knew anakin had the potential to become evi

Every child has the potential to become evil. But that wouldn't have mattered much if he didn't have training to use the force. Making conscious use of it isn't something someone just figures out. It needs to be taught and likewise learned. Sending him off to be adopted by some republic citizens would've been a perfectly viable option based on their knowledge at the time.

>Was the Jedi Council the galaxy's biggest mistake?
If that was the point of the film, to say the Jedi's ways was what ultimately led to its downfall, the series does a very poor job of this. People within the story object to the Jedi's practice, but it's usually actually a good thing, like not wishing to start war, or not taking Anakin. Apparently, in the EU, Luke saw the flaws of the original Jedi Order and changed it, but that's never a theme explored by the films. Which is probably a good idea because these films are bloated enough as they are and Lucas would probably have fucked them up even more.

But everyone except children who didn't know fear yet had darkness in him

you're really obsessed with saskia liefkes and ella freya aren't you?

>Apparently, in the EU, Luke saw the flaws of the original Jedi Order and changed it

But then one of the Jedi Order's most powerful members turns to the dark side and kills billions of people because of his attachment to his family. So the old Jedi Order was right after all.

*one of the new Jedi Order's

And to make it even better, it's Luke's own nephew that does it. I was disappointed that there was no scene where Obi-Wan's ghost appeared to Luke and said "told you so".

What do they do in there?

Energy shields are a thing in this universe.

Gay buttfucking

They probably have defense systems set up that can only be disabled from the inside. Considering that the council chambers were blown up about 1000 years before Episode 1, it's reasonable to assume that they put some kind of shield or anti-missile system up there.

It's not a "power thing"

It's a learning curve and a brainwashing thing.

Do you think they wanted a fat 40 year old virgin padawan who has indepth and moronic opinions on galactic politics?

>shoot an rpg at a room full of people with precognition and the ability to control objects with their minds

What would be the point?

Nothing beneficial towards those outside of their cult. Using the council as a metaphor for congress in Burgerland is some pretty good pottery on Georgie's part.

but isn't sheev the ONLY sith left?

The only point where we know for sure he was the only living Sith Lord was between when Tyranus died and Vader was christened. We don't even know if he started training Maul while he was still apprenticed to Plagueis.
