Why the Jedi would have been evil in any sane movie

Why yes, the prequel Jedi were psychopathic, most likely.

Bahahaha, that was funny.

I think the majority of their points came from the simple fact that the prequel movies were just plain horribly written though. :whistle:

i think the author is more interested in churning out something that people will read than legitimate social or philosophical discourse

Hence why I posted it in the humor forum. No need for social or philosophical discourse.

Blasphemy!!!
Though;
It's explained to viewers that The Force gives "power over the weak-minded." Apparently, being stupid in the Star Wars universe is a serious enough crime that your free will can be taken from you by some dick wizard.

I'd say 'weak' minded did not mean stupid, it meant acting against the current, the flow of the Force. This could then weaken a persons resolve to continued action, and the Jedi being Force folk can just splash the Force stream on them a bit which temporarily blinds them to their own stationary little whirlpool and for a minute flow 'with' the Force..... which of course happens to coincide with the Jedi's decision making. In the movies.

I tend to ignore the prequels so most of what they said was irrelevant to me. I have always kind of agreed with the bit about the mind trick though.

It was a funny read though.

if i could do the jedi mind trick i would bring back parachute pants and mullets

theres nothing more awesome than a mullet and a set of parachute pant

Star Wars is also pretty racist... :laugh:

Truth. And sexist.

On the bright side, the racism and sexism reminds me that the movies shouldn't be the be all and end all.

Also, and I know this was already covered, the casual removal of limbs is real messed up.

the limb removal was my favorite part

not the removal actually but the casualness of it
