Lemme guess, Krell is one of them?
What about Tarkin? I actually read a pretty excellent story where he found out that Palpatine was a Sith-Lord who orchestrated both the War and the Fall of the Republic just as the Clone Wars came to an end and actually became one of the Founders and Leaders of the Rebellion. In secret, of course, while officially still being a Grandmoff.
There were a lot of Jedi who up and jumped ship… close to 100.
Yes… he's an admiral now and is lobbying to become Yularens chief of staff.
Jedi Order: Come here guy's your Family now, put down the Gun.
Good Guy Tarkin: Still an ass, but on the side of Good.
Hm, that's actually less then I feared. Still, it means Palps now has a core of Force User-Agents he can send out around the Galaxy. Not good.
That sounds....not good.
remember the clones went through accelerated aging and were like 9 ish when they started fighting, it's cannon that a lot of jedi were extremely confused by the fact that their soldiers felt like children through the force
Well just because we headed off a schism last quest does not mean they let go of those ideas.
That sounds positively delightful!!
"HUG THEM HARDER!! THEY NEED OUR LOVE AND UNWAVERING SUPPORT!"- Plo Koon probably.
You make it sound like the Jedi are acting competent in a situation…
Oh the Senate is asking for a return to the era of the Jedi Lords. See this is why Palpatine had such a easy time. Not because the Jedi were incompetent but because the Senate was just a garbage form of government in desperate need to reform
The force is very much unhappy about the whole… Papa Palps hurting it on coruscant is is going o make things very… difficult.
A republic that can actually reform into what it was in the past is also very unlikely.
The problem is, the Jedi lack the numbers and the will to return to the days of the Jedi lords.
How hard is Padme head-desking at this?
We should be asking Bail and Garm that question.
honestly keeping Jedi as the watch dogs of the senate might be the best bet, treat them as something like marshals mixed with bodyguards. their lack of attachment should idealy allow them to look over the senators to make sure they are both doing their job and not being evil. with the jedi high council to look over the jedi watchdogs and the senate to look over the jedi high council. all issues can be brought before a court and the truth can be found via open dialog.
All well and good, but it doesn't exactly answer the question of what happens in wartime, and/or if the Sith becomes resurgent again for some reason. Both requires something a bit different, and the lack of an idea how is part of the problems in the clone wars. They were almost goaded into unilaterally becoming commanders unprepared for such a task, and they weren't really prepared to handle a possible sith resurgence either.
Something to note the Jedi is in prime position to refom… most of the younger Jedi are up for it after being thrown into war.
the jedi should be treated as elite infantry or actual knights, ostensibly under a general but able to act independently based on what the force tells them (this is how knights were treated historically as they were pretty much never required to follow the orders of the general or king leading the army) and the senate should have generals or at least capable officers ready to lead, it could be argued that the NCO core of a military is far more important than the COs though obviously it's best to have both.
