Returning to the temple after a long time of battling the most dangerous Sith Lord of them all: Darth Real Life

 

Glad to finally have some time for the Jedi again, old friend.

So here is another challenge for anyone wanting to earn points in the Guardians of the Light, or just wants to philosophize with me about this:

Jedi collaborating with Criminals

Of course there a numerous examples for this. From of course Luke working with Han and later Talon Karrde, to Anakin and Obi Wan working with Hondo, or even the Jedi Order itself agreeing to some kind of 'alliance', or at least his support to the war effort, with Jabba the Hutt during the Clone Wars as seen in the Clone Wars movie. And of course while some of these alliances were purely out of conveniance or necessesity, in some chases even friendships developed between the Jedi and the Criminals.

Now some might argue that this is just part of the necessity of being Jedi, that in a Galaxy this big we sometimes have to ally with a 'lesser evil' against a greater evil. Or even that keeping close ties with certain criminals might help turn them into better people, to even give up crime alltogether or at least moderate their methods, and thus has a alltogether benefictial impact on the Galaxy.

But of course there is also the other side of the argument, that by working with criminals the Jedi are enabling crime and injustice, if not even somewhat endorsing it, even if indirectly. Especially when some of these criminals are involved in quite violent crimes, such as Jabba who is a murderous gangster boss who openly engages in slavery. And with even the likes of Han Solo being at times quite violent (he shoots first after all). Does the end truly justify the means at all times?

I want know what your takes on this are, what do you think is acceptable and what crosses a dangerous line that shouldn't be crossed. With what kinds of criminals maybe collaborating is okay, and with which it goes too far. Or do you maybe think Jedi shouldn't work with criminals at all? Let me hear you thoughts and I might share some of mine as well down the line...

 

Happy May the Fourth!

 

The fourth be with us.

 

And altho with you.

 

What comes to my mind.

 

I was referencing Daffy's speech impediment.

 

No noise. Couldn't find a good meme/gif to represent what I was thinking (Especially since Daffy is always so crabby).
Just hoped people would recognize the character and connect it to the lisp.

But here's my favorite.
