PT Was it a mistake in prequels for the jedi to turn out the way they did?

I was gonna write more to this, but i think the title speaks for itself.

 

Well, somewhat, yeah. I guess I didnt care for how obvious is became that Palpatine was up to no good yet they never acted on it. There would have been all kinds of ways to check his intentions without going overboard. I realize that the dark side clouds their judgement but Obi-Wan knew stuff was up and didnt act on it fast enough. I dont mind that they were very stoic, monk-like characters. But, it would have been nice too to see a more human side of them. I dunno. Tough call.

 

What could they have done? He was an elected official. I guess they could have tried to forcibly oust him from his position while plotting to take interim control of the Senate...oh wait, they did do that. How did that turn out, again?

 

Do you mean a mistake on the part of the writers/GL to make them as they are? Nah

Or a mistake in-universe for the Jedi Order to be what it was at that point in history? In which case, yes. That's the intention

 

Yep. They where too rigid and set in their ways which is part of one the areas which led to downfall.

That and their numerous dubious decisions making throughout the entire saga.

Like using the Clone army. asking Anakin to spy on Palps, Mace acting as judge, jury and executioner in the confrontation with Palps, or like Obi not finishing off Anakin on Mustafar instead of leaving him to cruelly burn and Obi deliberately lying to Luke about the truth about what happened to Anakin.


Stuff like that gives me the impression, that the Jedi have acted far from honourable as some may think during the whole saga.
