Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost" data-source="post: 203777" data-attributes="member: 4720">Just another symptom of their arrogance.  She herself is not a Force-user.  Therefore, she is unimportant.  Also, their Prophecy would make mention of her if she was important (their logical error, not mine).As for bending the rules... I've been in a few structured organizations, and my viewpoint is based on those.  When everyone is treated largely the same, people generally deal with it.  They may not like everything about how they are treated, but they have a hard time complaining because everyone else is being given the EXACT same treatment.  Once someone is given special treatment, resentment gets in: "Why does HE get that kind of attention when I don't?"  Using a broad brush may not make everybody happy, but in my experience, it keeps the peace.  Organizations vary almost as much as people, though, and there are those that thrive with a more personalized approach.  The Jedi just didn't strike me as one of those.  I got the impression that the only way to get perks was to earn them (i.e. Jedi Council members get to use electrum lightsabers if they want them as a mark of their long and impressive service, etc.) or by seniority, which I personally think is a good way of going about it.  Besides, in the case of the Jedi, they're not SUPPOSED to want things for themselves, and for most of them, there AREN'T any unusual situations.  They've all lived in the exact same environment for as long as they can remember.</blockquote>
