No kidding. I've always thought that GL was probably trying to make a point about how the Jedi's heavy involvement in politics cheapened their code and their mission, but again, one has to dig through a lot of muddled, contradictory claptrap to find that.
Plus, the TRAGEDY angle in ROTS kind of negates all of the supposed moral ambiguity, since we're supposed to be feeling sad that the good guys are getting killed and the bad guys are winning.
