A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

Of course, but they had no time. (senate couldn't decide+urgency of the Geonosis situation. It was clones or let Dooku raze the galaxy.

Again, irrelevant. They had no time.

If the senate realized that the republic now had an army of highly trained clones, why would they let their own sons be drafted?

>>80956145
We see in TPM that Qui-Gon butts heads with the council and is generally less by the book, and since we know that Dooku was his master, we can infer that he got his attitude from Dooku, especially considering this line from Yoda to Obi "Qui-Gon's defiance I sense in you, need that you do not".

From there we can see that both Qui-Gon and Dooku butted heads with the council.

NOW, as per TPM, we see that democracy is failing and that the senate is corrupt.

If Dooku is an idealist, he would, like Anakin does in AOTC, think that the system doesn't work.

The reason you don't think that we see why Dooku would be an idealist and what his ideals are is the same reason that people think that TPM isn't integral to the PT- The Naboo blockade crisis is painting a picture of what is wrong with the Republic, and why star systems want to secede.

TL;DR
Dooku can be inferred to want a governing body that actually WORKS.

>>80956747

Have you even seen the movies?
Palpatine started AND ended the war.

The republic had no army, and needed one desperately. Palpatine maneuvered the Jedi into a situation where it was "use this shady clone army" or "get the galaxy razed my Dooku."

Watch the movies before you shitpost. They're not very complicated assuming you watch movies with even an ounce more plot than Fast and the Furious

Dooku had absolutely no plans to 'raze' the galaxy. You need to watch the movie again my friend. The separatists intended to secede from the republic due to unfair taxes and anti-trade policies.

>You need to watch the movie again my friend.
no u
What is Palpatine's end goal?
To rule the galaxy.
What did the Jedi just find out in TPM?
That the Sith are back after one thousand years.

What is happening in AOTC?
1. the dark side is clouding the Jedi's vision
2. an ex Jedi is building up a droid army
3. a force user disrupted the archives to hide the location of a planet with an army that a Jedi supposedly ordered, but in reality was "killed before [ten years ago]".
4. they see Obi-Wan ambushed by droids owned by people Dooku is consorting with

Why the hell would Dooku try to silence and KILL a Jedi (and be building a droid army, as Obi Wan tells Yoda and the chancellor) if he wanted to peacefully secede?

Watch the movies.
>>
>>80957343

You keep bringing up the creation of the clone army like it actually matters to this point.

Might I remind you that Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme were sentenced to death by a separatist (geonosian, specifically) court on charge of trespassing? Perhaps you were too busy looking at your phone during that scene. In any case, Dooku didn't kill anyone, in fact he offered to spare Obi Wan in exchange for cooperation (not to mention flat out telling him that the chancellor is a sith lord). The only one guilty of (attempted) murder is Jango Fett who was settling a score for Nute Gunray.

>>80957512
>Perhaps you were too busy looking at your phone during that scene. In any case, Dooku didn't kill anyone, in fact he offered to spare Obi Wan in exchange for cooperation
That is AFTER Yoda and the Chancellor's last time seeing Obi-Wan, where his transmission cuts off after being ambushed by a trade fed droid. He had also just mentioned that Dooku was is cahoots with the trade fed and was forming a...[this is when he gets attacked for Yoda and the Chancellor to see.]
he hologram of OBI-WAN fades off. PALPATINE stares at the spot where the hologram was in disbelief.

Now read the rest of the scene.

of that.

PALPATINE
Count Dooku must have made a

Is it really an ambush when you are trespassing on someone's property and they arrest you? Hint: no it's not.

Of course Dooku and the separatists were forming an army. They planned to secede and expected the republic to stop them. You aren't making a very strong point here at all: only proving that you didn't watch the movie and probably don't even like star wars as much as you like silly internet arguments.

Now that you concede your logic is based on fallacious reasoning, you have no choice but to rely on speculation. Very well, I will play along.

A) The stated claims of the separatists is, as I have pointed out, to leave the republic. Whereas you might not take this goal at face value, the Republic does. This itself is the threat that is referred to by the republic throughout AoTC. Never once is there a stated fear that the separatists would 'raze' the galaxy, as you insist, only that their movement would divide the Republic. This of course is a parallel to the American civil war, in which the Confederacy intended to leave the Union over what they viewed as government overreach, prompting an aggressive military action from the Union.

B) The trade federation is only one member of the separatists. A prominent member, perhaps, but not the executive. Can you possibly imagine a benefit for a consortium of wealthy businesses to destroy the galaxy they profit from?

Yes, the separatists are preparing for war as they anticipate the Republic to strike first (and they were right).

Yes, Bail Organa wants to approve the clone army so they can strike down the separatists when they get out of line (and they did).

What was your point again?

Not that guy, but you're ignoring the fact that the jedi know there is a sith still about, and that the dark side has started clouding their vision.

I think youre trying to downplay this part of the whole thing. the jedi know that the sith want to rule the galaxy (as sheev says "once more" the sith will rule...) AND the jedi know that the sith were at least somehow involved with the last trade fed crisis as we see that Maul was on naboo at the same time.

This is irrelevant to the core argument: did the Republic start the war? Whether or not they were justified, the answer is unequivocally yes.

>as they anticipate the Republic to strike first
How can they as know one is in on the plan but the 2 Sith?

As far as they know, the republic has no army at all.
Dooku just says "the Jedi will be overwhelmed and will agree to any demands we make".

The Jedi are "keepers of the peace, not soldiers".

Why would they think the Jedi would ATTACK?

They only came to help Obi-Wan.
"I will take what Jedi we have and go to Geonosis and help Obi Wan".

They only get in a fight after they see that 2 Jedi and a republic senator are being executed.

So we see that it was indeed the Separatists who started the conflict by attempting to publicly execute people.
>>
>>80958385

>The best defense is a good offense

And so the Republic started the war, with Yoda on the first wave.

Incidentally, can you imagine epV Yoda telling Luke that "the best defence is a good offence"? Now you should understand the absurdity highlighted in the OP.

The Jedi defend the Republic. The Republic was at risk.
And as I pointed out above, the separatists made the first move.

Also,
The Jedi know that the last time the trade fed tried to start shit, it turned out that they were in league with the Sith.

Obi Wan, Padme and Anakin are trespassers at the least and spies at the worst. Their execution is completely legal under the jurisdiction of the Separatists, the war is started when the Republic interferes.

Luke is the last Jedi in training, what future do the Jedi have without him?

Confronting Vader was about Luke's journey and development into a true Jedi, which he becomes when he refuses to kill his father. THe whole thing wasn't about a political assassination request (though given the prequels it probably would be in Yoda's character).

Anakin saving his son from a murderous asshole isn't the same as a preemptive military strike.

The jedis are all about hypocrisy. They are peace keepers but their symbol is a fucking (light)saber, the UN's Blue helmets symbol is their helmet, not their rifles

They are diplomats but somehow always carry their weapons with them. Imagine coming to the UN tribune with an AR15 in your back, that'd be well recieved ...

They get into troubles and then say "I was just defending myself :DDDD" after killing many people knowing very well that they overpower by a huge margin 99% of the people they'll ever meet

It's pretty convenient to send those "diplomats" somewhere knowing very well that there's a strong chance they'll kill anyone who stands against them and use mind tricks to complete their task if negociations fail

Yoda and Ben seemed to care more about Luke's training than saving people in Empire.

He was encouraging Luke to tap into the Force.

>NOT TO MENTION helping Bail Organa get the plans to the Death Star.

Except that he didn't? Bail died with his planet. Obi-Wan spent the trip teaching Luke about the force.

Jesus Christ.
1. it's no longer just the spies, it's all the able bodied Jedi they have.
2. What choice did he have? By the time he got there, Dooku and the droids had already killed many Jedi.

How is this flying so far over your head?

>Except that he didn't?
Why did he leave when Leia delivered the message then?
Luke was always close to him. Would would he choose that moment to go to Alderaan of all places if he didn't intend to help the man he once served in the clone wars?

Either way, well played my enraged American friend.

The lightsaber is more a symbol of protection.

One of the five symbols of Sikhism is the sword, but it's for self-defense because their religion is neither Islam or Hinduism, but they live in a part of the world where there is bad blood between those other two, and they get caught in the middle. Either they fight back, or they risk death.

The first form of lightsaber combat is purely defensive, deflecting bolts away from the wielder. The primary targets in cutting are to disarm and disable, not to kill.

The intent, though, is to de-escalate a situation. Witness Obi-Wan attempting to diffuse the situation between the two ruffians and Luke - he assures them he's not worth it, and offers to buy them drinks. It's only when a weapon is pulled that Obi-Wan responds with his blade.

This is seen again with Luke throughout Return of the Jedi, after he's learned not to rush into things, and has more-or-less become a proper Jedi. With Jabba, he begins with bargaining, then infiltration, then finally he comes in to make one final act of diplomacy until he's thrown to the Rancor (then the Sarlacc) and so fucks Jabba's shit up.

Then later on the Death Star, he refuses to fight his father, instead attempting to turn him back to the light. It's only when he's egged into combat (which is portrayed as un-Jedi-like) that he strikes.

The prequels, meanwhile, feature a time when they are pretty much forced into a combat role. But

It's like a Shaolin monk. They're peaceful up until force is necessary, then they'll kick your ass.

Obi Wan, I want you watch me and be mindful. Always remember, your focus determines your reality. Now I will use a mind trick on this poor trader to make him sell us parts for our ship in exchange for worthless credits. Should that fail I will trick him into gambling with me and use the force to cheat.

Greed can be a very powerful ally.

European Union has no army, but member states do. Same with the Republic, whats so hard to understand?

His very next statement is to the effect of "we should remove the chancellor".

At least try mate.

Can we all agree that Qui-Gon was a great character and his unique views on the Light Side and The Force made him one of the more interesting Jedi in the franchise?
>>
>>80963595
he went to arrest or kill the man in charge of the plot. He would have succeeded if not for betrayal.

Why are prequel haters so retarded?

It's the third form, but yes.
