    How exactly were the Jedi in the wrong in any regard? At most, we could say, their advised non-interference is the issue, which translates back to the fall of the Jedi being due to their transformation into Republic soldiers who put keeping their political standing over all else, which the show incorrectly and lazily flips in the direction of “predicting” their fall due to their “good intentioned” interference.

    One could call the whitewashing of the cult that mind-SA’s teenagers (which “we” could justify by pointing to the Jedi’s “invasion” of the cult’s land and their “lethal enforcement of policies” to the point of refusing to fight back when being attacked and only killing when the life of the children they’re trying to protect is being put in danger) and abuses its own children in numerous ways incorrect, but we can be assured that the show puts things right when the traumatized mind-SA victim lets his walls down and drinks poison after being egged on to commit suicide by the righteously angry child of the good cult due to his guilt over too quickly going in to the mind-SA cult’s sovereign borders and “forcing” them to destroy themselves.

    Ah but the Jedi did take the cult’s children (in a bit of cult infighting), in one sense, albeit only temporarily to be tested with the consent of the cult and this in the first place being triggered by the request of one of the children.

    This truly evil show (as though it may be) did not make the Jedi adequately villainous in this regard, and justified their actions with such nonsense as “one of the children we were trying to protect was being turned into dust before our eyes”, or “the traumatized teenage mind-SA victim was simply eager to enter the noble enclave of the child abusing club and be done with it all.” Truly a tragedy at both ends.
