Is it okay to talk about this yet? Because I really want to talk about this

It’s easy to believe in monsters. I believed in them for a long time. It’s much more difficult and challenging as a conscious being to find the nuance in the unconsciousness of perceived evil.

There is always a push/pull between powerful forces who believe they are the reverse of what they are. Who are we to tell them what they are? Maul saw the dogma and hypocrisy of the Jedi rotting out the core of spirituality they strived to embrace. Ashoka did too.

It’s easy to say “the Jedi suck” because they do in so many ways. When Obi-Wan cries out to Anakin “Well, then you are lost!” he’s speaking to himself in so many ways. Just before he thishe apologizes for having failed Anakin, an apology I assume he’s subconsciously (contd)

(contd) on behalf of the whole Jedi Order. Anakin wasn’t prepared.Neither was Maul. They were children thrown into an impossible battle, like so many others

Who among us could ignore the cry of our dying mother? Shmi is the only altruistic being in a galaxy far, far away. I’ll never understand what the jedi didn’t come back for her and left her abandoned on a desert planet

Re: Anakin. Why would you ever deprive a child of a parent’s love (especially a mother). Mothers are guardians, stewards, and teachers of humanity. To give life is to know life and the Jedi depriving their pupils of this is so fucking problematic i don’t know where to start

Rian saw so many of the problems of the Jedi. Cavan Scott and Claudia Gray, as well. They got lost in the dogma. Love and unconditional love should never be mutually exclusive. Love and companionship are existential entitlements which should never be demeaned, denied, or shamed

So, when a former Jedi shows a bit of mercy to a former Sith, consider that one of the best acts of “balance” we’ve seen in Star Wars
