10 Star Wars Controversies That Divide Fans
3. The Ambiguous Moral Compass Of The Jedi
The Jedi have long been considered the most noble and honourable people in the Star Wars universe. They wield extreme power, but only use it for good (supposably). They are the keepers of peace and the last and only real defence against the ever rising Dark Side. Having said all of that, the Jedi did some pretty reprehensible things, leading many in the fan community to reconsider their thoughts about these Light Side Force users.
For starters, young Force-sensitive children were torn away from their parents at an extremely young age by the Jedi Order. This was purely so the individual could be indoctrinated, having the notions of love and attachment driven out of them - sounds a little cult-like to me.
The Jedi also became extremely dogmatic and rigid. The idea of individuality or autonomous thought was so rejected that it led them to shun extremely wise Jedi like Qui-Gon Jinn. Their authoritarian and corrupt ways even forced individuals like Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker to join the Dark Side.
