If Jedi Are Good Guys, Why Do Their Methods Seem So... Evil?
Despite the fact that the Jedi are representatives of the Light Side, striving for the Good throughout the galaxy, the Order is far from the most unambiguous establishment.
Conservatism, inaction, and the decline of the doctrine led to the destruction of the Jedi Order by the Galactic Empire (as well as by clones). But also, the very methods behind the Jedi as an organization are being questioned by fans of the Star Wars universe.
So, Reddit users disagreed on an issue that is at the heart of a person's upbringing and training as a Jedi: is it ethical to take infants away from their parents and raise them as members of the Order without even knowing their families?
Many Redditors agreed that a Force-sensitive child growing up outside the Order and experiencing great turmoil in their life could be a potential threat to their family and the galaxy as a whole.
Attachments lead to desires, and desires lead to negative emotions such as hatred, envy, and greed.
"Anakin is the perfect example of this imo. His attachment to his mother played a huge part in him turning to the dark side. He never wanted to feel as powerless as he felt when his mother died.
So when he had nightmares of Padmé dying, he wanted to do anything to prevent that. And we all know how that went", says Mrrobotfuzz, citing the fate of Anakin Skywalker as an example.
Many have noted that in the canon (for example, as Ahsoka said in Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian ), the powers of one who does not practice become dull.
However, as we noticed, before training with Luke, Grogu was still able to use the Force in situations where something threatened him or Dean Jarin.
The Star Wars Rebels series was also mentioned. Ezra Bridger, one of the protagonists, became a Jedi as a teenager. His path was difficult, and as a result, he was regularly inclined to both the dark and the light sides.
It was his experience that allowed him to become a powerful Jedi, as he was able to form healthy attachments to those he cared about, though.
It may not always be correct to project the ethics of our world onto the ethics of a fictional universe. Yet we can always draw from iconic works to form our own moral compass.
