This is going to go down a dangerous tangent, but this is another example that fuels my opinion that the Jedi were a downright evil cult.

When Anakin was a slave he lived with his mother who loved him and was given free time to pursue his own interests in technology (building a droid that he was allowed to keep, podracing, etc). We even see that he had a social network of kids his own age.

When he was "freed" by the Jedi, he was sent to one of their indoctrination camps. You know, like the one that we see Luke run in Mandalorian. Children are removed from their families and told they aren't allowed to contact anyone - friend or family - who they knew before. They are only allowed contact with their religious leaders and peers who teach them that their feelings are detrimental and to only care about the things the religion says are important. The children are taught that love and partnerships outside the religion (especially marriage) are ways to "the dark side". They are routinely pushed to - and past - their mental, physical, and spiritual limits in training that is indiscernible from torture. The Jedi Order will provide all; the Jedi Order will control all.

Compared to that hellish childhood? The time Anakin spent with Watto were only years Anakin was ever allowed to be a kid! Obvioiusly Anakin didn't have a great time on Tatooine; being a slave was still a rough life (and he hates sand). But in the end, switching to the Jedi was, at best, a latteral move for young Anakin. He was simply sold from one slave master to another. That's why he doesn't hate Watto; he never knew a life any better than what Watto provided him.

"Evil" may be taking it too far, but they were very disconnected from reality by the end, acting out of fear to try and insulate their acolytes from fear, not even seeing the irony in their own motivations.

Reminds me of Frank Sinatra's buger recipe from a celebrity cookbook. Both him and Dean Martin submitted recipes for hamburgers.

Dean's:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 oz bourbon, chilled

Preheat a heavy frying pan and sprinkle bottom lightly with table salt. Mix meat, handling lightly, just enough to form into four patties. Grill over medium-high heat about 4 minutes on each side.


Pour chilled bourbon in chilled shot glass and serve meat and bourbon on a TV tray.

Frank's:

Sinatra Burgers:

1. Call for Deano.
2. Tell him to make you a (naughty word) burger.
3. Drink his bourbon.

Order 66 was an act of mercy. Palpatine was right to ignore the haters.
-Bargle, probably.

Absolutely, Order 66 was an act of mercy.

For over a thousand generations the Jedi blatantly and pridefully forced their rule and religion upon the entire galaxy. They maintained unquestioned control over countless members of the senate, and directly controlled many planet's governments. They acted as manipulative ambassadors who could control communications between worlds. They were the interstellar police force for the government, given the right to kill their enemies on sight without any question of their authority or motives. All the while, they refused any oversight from outside sources. They had no checks, no balances. They wielded untold wealth beyond that of any planet (enough so that an entire interstellar army could be hidden in their accounting without anyone ever noticing). They even controlled the maps of the stars. The Jedi called this form of government "democracy".

The entire clone/droid war was an act of mercy, designed to create a conflict with minimal risk to the citizens of the Republic. By fighting a war between machines and clones, Palpatine saved an entire generation from the conflict of war. Order 66 was the end of a merciful, masterful plan that removed the Jedi with the least violence possible.

I saw Irma Vep.

Similar?

This is all a lot easier when the only movies and shows are Andor, Rogue I, IV, V, and grudgingly VI...

Patience, my young Padawan. Once you get past the centuries-long calendar scroll, you are in for a brilliant ride.

It really was.

Thank you.
