Did G. Lucas ever intend to portray the Jedi as a flawed institution in the prequels? Or was it added later in the EU?

The problem with this, though, is that no human is capable of living a life without sin. George Lucas is a Buddhist Christian, and if heaven is where the righteous come to live with God in the afterlife, and sin is antithetical to God’s very being, heaven should be entirely unpopulated. An infinite being has infinite moral standards, and no human is perfect.

That’s where the mitigating factors of infinite love and infinite patience would come in, presumably.

In Christianity, that’s correct.

You’re describing Christianity without Christ. The whole point is that Christ redeemed humanity’s imperfections and allows people to become more perfect than they were and reach heaven with his help. I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve here by trying to point out problems with Christianity.

I am describing Christianity without Christ. I’m not pointing out problems with Christianity, I’m talking about why the Jedi might behave they do. The Jedi don’t have infinite love or infinite patience, and Jesus isn’t from Star Wars.
