Why the Jedi should deploy this brainwashed slave army based on the confirmed bodyguard of their enemy leader, implicated as he is in the attempted assassination of a prominent senator (morally and ethically this is odd but strategically it's suicidal) and continue to do so for the full duration of the war is wonky beyond belief.
Mind. Blown. These prequels have all sorts of problems, but this one never even occurred to me until now. Unreal.
