hm. interesting thoughts. so Jedi are like the nerds of the galaxy. they think they are smart and great and all that. meanwhile everyone else just ignores them and gets shit done without any need of the Jedi. hm. 😃
I figured that they were just too absentminded/incompetent to actually show up on time to a rendezvous, and every time they participate in a covert operation they inevitably blow their cover by drawing the attention of a Sith lord. Seriously, this happens in 3/3 of the original movies. Jedi are not worth the hassle in a secret Rebellion.
