No matter how you cut it "restoring balance" resulted in the utter destruction of the Old Jedi and nearly all of their teachings.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> The point of Shatterpoint and of the Mace/Dooku thoughts was Mace's understanding that the Jedi make piss poor generals, no matter how skilled, primarily their decisions will not be made using sound tactics but will instead be based on individual perceptions (Iin this case Mace's distaste for striking Dooku down without giving him warning or the chance to recant and return to the light). Mace refuses to strike down Dooku and billions of people die because of it. That is hard to rationalize with the force especially with Obi-One telling Anakin to forget about the injured (dead?) Padme and keep his head in the game. Her one life is not wrth the mission. This whole thing takes up several pages of Shatterpoint and is done much better than my pathetic retelling. The whole point is that the Jedi will risk everything to do something like save Yoda, they won't attack when the enemy is in a disadvantaged position (surprise attack), or exploit a weakness (starve the enemy out) - the exact things that need to be done to win a war.Say what???</blockquote>
