Perhaps it's that broken fantasy I miss
so you are emotionally attached to something?

Id say there is a difference between competency and "stupid". All of the jedi we've seen in the Acolyte are very competent, at their jobs. They know very well how to handle lightsabers, and the force. We see that. They can fight as well. Indara keeps the initial meeting from turning into a fight by being professionally polite, and she keeps her team in line (at first). Kelnacca is obviously a gearhead, and appears to be really competent at that.
I fail to see how the Jedi on screen here have ever failed to be competent. Its just that they are not competent at everything. They have blind spots, and they are unaware of those blind spots. And those blind spots push them to make choices that are suboptimal. And its not just moral blind spots. They are not uber skilled. They do not know everything. Its almost like they, along with almost every other character in this show, thinks that their knowledge in one sphere, makes them an expert everywhere, with anything.
It doesnt. And I think that is being shown very well. The Jedi, because that is my focus, are out of their element.
*I dislike this phrase because it is 99% of the time used as a way to avoid the issue (ie the emotions themselves) so that what you end up with is emotionally compromised people who, no matter their competency, will act stupidly because they are acting emotionally (tryingNOW to solve something from the past), not rationally (trying NOW to solve something currently happening). Even though, they appear calm, collected, and put together.
