Not at all... ironic that you were the one suggesting I was applying the story to real life.
I'm also not saying that analogy is wrong, actually at face value the creation of the empire can easily be framed as a false flag against the republic.
I get you're a fan of the series, it had alot of nostalgia value, and didn't hate the prequels it really did take until I tried to get my wife into the movies that I caught the extra subtext.
The Jedi are not quite the victims like the count of monte Cristo.
You're really goading me into a conversation about a fictional universe aren't you?
The Jedi were meant to be mediators of the force, but were perverted into a police force for the Republic over many generations. Police parallels anyone?
Besides that, I'm afraid I'm much more interested in the stories of the real world.
I'm really not, my original point was that the Jedi are framed as good, but their actions are all as the aggressors throughout, and there are subtle nods that they aren't good.
Agreed that the real life concerns are more important than film interpretations.
(If anything I'm slightly annoyed that this was the topic of conversations that has had the most traction)
