Wankers

So one of the new Star Wars movies are on, and I’m watching it. I find myself rooting for the bad guys. I can’t wait until the third movie comes out because I want to see the Jedis get all but wiped out. The whole Republic needs to be flushed. None of the “good guys” is a sympathetic character. The Jedi council is boneheaded and useless. Some of the actual knights themselves seem pretty cool, but thats because they don’t talk, only fight. Everything is completely corrupt. That galaxy needs an emperor.
Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks like that. Some very good points are brought up. The clones are nothing but slaves, the moral code of the Jedi is actually useless, blah blah blah.
My main issue with the movies though is that whole “Bring balance to the force” thing. Supposedly, the Jedis are good. Now, to balance that, there must be evil. Duh. Of course it ends up the Jedis are only the slightest bit positive, despite their preaching. So to balance that, all it takes is a Jedi to kick an old person just once. But my issue is, this whole Jedi council, supposedly so wise and all, is too stupid to understand that whatever would balance out their goodness, well, needs to be destroyed because it is evil. But they go running to the meat grinder. Of course the fault belongs to Lucas for using such a completely obvious, beat you over the head, kind of plot point. Duh…
