. . . but like the best bad Star Wars, it's full of ideas more interesting than their execution.

And to think, in the clone wars mace meets the Bardottans who hate the Jedi specifically because they got to pull this shit!
The child abduction being a choice thing is wild. We look down on those parents who decide their kid is gonna be an athlete and send their kids to dance/baseball/swimming classes as a toddler.
The more I engage with Star Wars as an adult, the more the Jedi stuff in particular just stops being cool. Which sucks btw. I want to still enjoy it.
I think there are good arguments for starting dance and swimming lessons pretty early. But in a "they're good skills to have, no matter what you end up doing" kind of way.
Re: the Jedi are awful, actually. I kind of dig it? Like, knights also seem cool when you're a kid, but your average medieval knight was probably something like a cross between a cop and a slumlord. Which is to say: an absolute bastard.
Star Wars has always felt like a lived-in space to me. As much or more than a mythical one. And the Jedi not being all Obi-Wan cooked them up to be adds to that feeling of plausibility.
