Jedi are basically warrior-monks. They train in combat as a matter of exercise and defense of self and others. They serve as peacekeepers, like a religious order of policemen, but are neither equipped nor habitually inclined to war.

That said, they sure do a lot of warring in both the films and in the EU.

where do they get their money from, republic tax money?

They were like Buddhist monks or some shit. After centuries of just chilling in their temple they neglected their duty in guiding people and started to get to involved in politics - initially as diplomats for peace, eventually as just another cog in the machine.
And then war came about and they basically just became soldiers.
Sheev did nothing wrong desu

>>79979666
Donations could conceivably cover everything but land cost, and I'd bet that the Senate passed a law exempting the Jedi temple from property taxes.

>>79979704
How many people would be willing to donate them money though, the jedi are mostly seen as some mystical cult of wizards that don't really help anyone up until the war but I guess in a galaxy filled with trillions of trillions of people they could get enough money even if it was rare for someone to donate

>>79979757
>donate
They use mind tricks

>>79977503
Self defense. Keeping the peace. Deputies in the old west carried guns everywhere, but they weren't soldiers. I guess the jedi are a weird combination of wizards, monks, samurai and lawmen.

What is the point of religion?

>>79980210
To steal men's souls and make them your slaves.

>>79980210
It's a little different in Star Wars though because in that universe there is visible proof of it's legitimacy.

>>79977503
Protecting the populace from democratically elected politicians who happen to follow the wrong religion.

>>79980312
>democratically elected politicians
Abusing emergency powers is a betrayal of the public trust. Why do you think Cincinnatus is practically deified?

>Be a fundamentalist sect of galactic "peace-keepers" who steal children and indoctrinate them
>Practice your weird religion inside a massive temple on the biggest city in the galaxy (the whole planet is one giant city)
>Indiscriminately maim and kill people
>Manipulate people with your powers
>Forbid feelings on a base level
>Spend most of your time looking for the chosen prophet who will reset the universe and bring about a new era

The Emperor was right to crush them and bring actual order to the galaxy. The Sith religion was practically agnostic and secular in nature and only ever consisted of two members at one time.

Sheev did nothing wrong.

>>79980210

It is never stated that the jedi "steal" children. When Qui-Gon discovers Anakin he doesn't just take him. I haven't seen the movie in a few years but I'm pretty sure he consults with Shmi before he takes him, and she allowed it.

>>79980353
Of which the Jedi had no proof. They just assumed that Sheev was behind it all because a member of their sect whom they didn't trust told them Sheev might be a Sith.

>>79980410
I'd hate to bring up Patton Oswalt, but he summed it up perfectly. It's just a way to trick people into being nice to each other and advance civilization. Without religion, we would all still be living in mud huts and wearing animal skins with no technology beyond spears and wheels.

>>79978313
and why does the lightsabers cast a shadow on the lightsabers behind them

>>79980481
Nigger, Sheev straight up admitted to Anakin that he was a sith lord so he went and informed Windu.

Woah so deep

>>79980521
And that gives the Jedi the right to assassinate Sheev?
I mean Windu pretty much said "he can't be left alive". The Jedi were tards who didn't understand that it would be wiser to be patient or just do the smart thing and let the space police handle it.

>>79980580
>space police
They are the space police you mong

>>79980610
I'm pretty sure every planet must have its own police force since Jedi are pretty rare.

>>79980580
>And that gives the Jedi the right to assassinate Sheev?

>You are under arrest, Chancellor

Try again. Besides that, Windu only moved to kill him AFTER he murdered 3 other jedi masters and tried to kill him too, and since he now knew he was a sith lord, he also knew he was connected with Count Dooku and the CIS.

>>79980651
And then Anakin suggested to keep Sheev alive, to which Windu said "lol nope".

>>79980580
>let the space police handle it

You mean the guys who don't have force powers and lightsabers? lmao Sheev would drop a whole swat team with less effort than the group of jedi masters he killed.

They're pacifist, peace-keeping scholars who just sometimes murder people.

>>79980441
Qui Gon isn't a traditional "Jedi" in many senses, so we can't really say that what Qui Gon does is what the Jedi Order would do.

>>79980665
Again, AFTER he murdered 3 powerful jedi masters and tried to kill him too. When a man kills a group of people, the police have every right and obligation to gun him down without hesitation.

>implying that wouldn't completely fuck up Sheev's plan
Especially since the SWAT team is actually undee governmental control unlike the Jedi

>>79980665
He was too dangerous to be kept alive. Windu was right, he should've killed him when he had the chance.

>>79980703
He was the senate.

>>79980703
Killing a bunch of jedi should have fucked up his plan too, but he managed to convince the public that the jedi were the conniving crooks with a secret plan to take over the galaxy, not him.

>>79980756
Maybe that has to do with the Jedi barging into his office, weapons drawn and with the clear intention to kill him on flimsy evidence at best.

>>79980756
And this was easy to do since most people were weary of the jedi because of their weird powers and their religion. Of course THEY were the ones who were plotting to take over the galaxy. Meanwhile Sheev conveniently hid the fact that he was also a user of the force.

Says who? They were prepared to take in a very dangerous man. Best to have sabers drawn and lit in case he tried anything funny, which is exactly what happened anyway.

Windu would have dropped him if Anakin hadn't sucker punched him, but Sheev knew for a fact that he would.

But really Luke choking those gamorreans, he could have simply mind tricked or talked his way in.

>>79981104

You do realize the entire point of that scene is about him stepping closer to the dark side right?

As for Luke choking the Gammoreans, yeah I guess you could say that was out of line but he didn't have a lot of proper jedi training. He was pretty rough around the edges, even at that point.

>>79981148
I'd love to see the original trilogy for the first time again just for that moment when you see look in a black cloak choking everyone, not knowing if he's fallen or not

The jedi robes in the prequels were sweet as fuck. They weren't like the moister farmer outfits at all. In fact the inner robe was only slightly different from Luke's ep VI outfit and the outer robe was an immaculate bath robe, like something a king would wear.

I don't think they look ridiculous at all. Not in the least. It only looks ridiculous because they were all autistically photohopped together into the same picture. Compare Luke in your picture to Obi Wan in this one. Not a huge difference. Obi-Wan just has a tunic on top of his pants and shirt.

>Mace is shitting himself after Sheev killed the other 3

Bullshit. Mace was stone cold fearless. Literally the most badass jedi in the galaxy next to Yoda.

>couldn't deflect lightning with his hands

Yeah, the fact that one of his own hands was just cut off and the sudden realization that trillions of lives are about to change for the worse probably didn't affect him at all...

Mace was always a fucking faggot, look at how he acted towards little anakin. Jealous of his potential, he probably had delusions he was the chosen one.

What was his excuse before that?
squealing like a bitch even though he was using his lightsaber to deflect. Fucking pathetic.
