The Light Side isn’t about repressing emotions. Seriously, if I had to pin down the worst thing about the Prequels, it wouldn’t be the dialogue, or the idiot balls tossed around, or Jar-Jar. It would be how poorly it represented what it was trying to convey. The Jedi Order of the Clone Wars was a corrupt, dogmatic order of zealots so afraid of the Dark Side that couldn’t even embrace the compassion the Light tried to offer them. You don’t need to repress your emotions to avoid going down the Dark Path. You just needed to trust the Force.

Thank you so much for these posts. You’re fighting the good fight. This is what I constantly try to get across to people - prequel Jedi are not OT Jedi, and that is the main failing of the prequels. Even when people hate the prequels, their perceptions are still colored and biased against the simple good versus evil narrative that Star Wars is supposed to be.
