And now, a Star Wars ramble.
Jun. 12th, 2005 06:44 pmBased on the rant going down here, about whether the Jedi are good, evil, or in need of coffee. (Answer: One is always in need of coffee.)
( I will now ramble about Jedi, morals, and political systems )
I spare a lot of annoyance for Anakin, on various grounds. Someone never read Classical Tragedy for Dummies, especially the bit where it says, "Anything you do to try to avert destiny will just make it happen anyway, only worse, so don't bother." I thought everyone knew that. It's a law of supernature!
I don't think the Jedi are perfect, by any means. They're not. The Order is made up of individuals, none of whom are perfect, because no one is. The Order isn't perfect either. That doesn't mean it's bad. That just means that, like every other organization in the history of any world, ever, it has its good points and its bad points. I think there are more good points than bad, on the whole.
