This is a great example of what makes the PT (and specifically ROTS) so absolutely terrible. The Jedi are complete idiots.

People who rank ROTS above any non-prequel movie need to look at this image a few more times. I’d love to hear them try to explain it away.

Hahaha the whole Mace Windu thing and the way they all act is comedy gold. Like a bunch of drunks. “We must move quickly!” - walks as casually as possible.

But that is why they were destroyed. They were complacent and couldn’t see the plot developing right under their noses. The OT establishes that Anakin himself was there before the Empire was established–putting a timeline on when the Empire was formed, and which means the Jedi allowed the political climate to shift specifically in Palpatine’s favor without stopping him.

They were idiots. That’s why they were killed. They were stupid enough to allow themselves to be hunted down and killed by the Empire. And that’s all just relying on information from the OT.

The only thing that the OT says is they were hunted down and killed. It says nothing about them being idiots.

I was right, the explain-aways are fantastic!

One can infer that they were idiots for not sensing betrayal until it was too late, by using evidence from the OT. Their betrayal happened quickly enough that Anakin had children which Obi-Wan knew about but Vader did not. Obi-Wan and Yoda in ANH and ESB have great power, and yet the Jedi Knights—Obi-Wan and Yoda included—were there to see these dark events unfold but be unable to do anything to stop them, despite their powers of persuasion, perception, distraction, et al… The Jedi Knights are painted in a retrospectively-positive light because Ben Kenobi tells us about them, and he has positive feelings for them. That doesn’t make them actually as wise as he remembers them to be.

this seems like a mighty stretch.

Yes, but all I’m saying is that while the PT paints the Jedi Order to be idiots, that there is evidence one can glean from the OT, without using the PT, that can support that argument.

One can ignore the PT and color the Old Republic Jedi Knights how Ben Kenobi colors them, but one is also not required to take Kenobi at his word and assume he doesn’t have rose-tinted glasses for them by also assuming their downfall was not in part of their own making.

Just because something in the PT doesn’t directly contradict the OT doesn’t mean it isn’t a bad idea. Being basically a bunch of idots, the main characters aren’t really compelling, so it doesn’t make for a very enjoyable movie.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

My late buddy had a great idea to film a scene to add to the end of ROTS:
Fade in to a StarWars-esque bar, two guys sit at the bar.
Super Drunk Guy: "And there ya have it. That’s how it aaalll went down."
Not So Drunk Guy: "Psssh. You’re crazy. And drunk. What a waste of time."
Iris out.
Roll credits.

I’m not saying the PT wasn’t poorly written, in my opinion. I’m saying the idea of casting the Jedi Order as idiots for getting blindsided by Palpatine can make sense in context with the OT; and that it is not a plothole big enough for someone to not find enough enjoyment in it to rank ROTS higher than another non-prequel film.

JEDIT: For the record, I do not rank it higher than any non-prequel film.

You guys seem to be missing the point of that pic. Yoda is the imposter.

What?

No.

I don’t even care if the person who made the pic was going for that, it’s much better my way.

Or you could try to stop being an opinionated jerk and let people like what they like without giving them guff about it.

Also, you could post a random gif and get back on topic.
