We can't tell if they were killed with lightsabers easily because they were wearing black over nearly their entire bodies, and unless they were hit in the face or dismembered there'd be nothing visible at a glance.Sol gave massive "I AM LYING" vibes when he said everyone just died in the fire that's for sure, so at the least he's involved in a cover-up. The Jedi have never really valued honesty all that much, which I think is part of the issue.100% given what was a crackpot fan theory that got laughed about a lot and treated about as seriously as Darth Jar Jar in the era when the prequels were new has since been confirmed as canon (I think in one of the novels).I can't! The sets and costumes are too cheap and tacky looking! It hurts me!They Jedi of this era are, to put it mildly, nosy jerks who think they're literally the bosses of the Force. They genuinely have a completely proprietorial and and rather colonial attitude to the Force. Other Force traditions are, at absolute best, cute little curiosities to the Jedi as a whole (individuals may be better/worse on this - Qui-Gonn was better, for example, as was Yoda - most of the time), and at worst, dangerous threats needing to be eliminated. They also have as they pointed out, basically a legal right to interfere. They say they "don't steal children" but like, they "don't steal children" in the sense that they apply social, political, military and other pressure (including it seems possibly bribes) and quasi-threats until they get what they want "willingly". You can see how terrible their attitude is in that they're trying to act like a small child should be a decision-maker here. Like, yeah kid do you want to go with the cool dudes with lightsabers and a spaceship and a cute hairy dude or stay with the strict meanies who make you do hard things and chores and limit your icecream? Half the kids in the world would be running into the arms of the Jedi no matter how good their parents were! And those are some of the oldest kids they'd even accept for actual Jedi training (it's slightly unclear what happens to older ones, I think there's an implication they're basically taught to suppress their Force powers and/or used as errrr whatever the really polite euphemism for servants is for the Jedi)!</blockquote>
