It is considered vandalism to remove content from Wookieepedia, as you did with the page Jedi Code/Legends. Should you wish to experiment, please utilize the sandbox. Thank you for your understanding. OOM 224 16:17, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello there, I apologize for the delayed response; I was occupied for the past week. I undid your changes because, in my view, they appeared to compromise impartiality, specifically by advocating for a particular viewpoint on the invasions instead of accurately portraying events based on officially licensed materials. If the article lacked details regarding why the Jedi destroyed Sith artifacts, then I concur that this should be addressed; however, altering the article to steer the reader towards a specific conclusion is inappropriate. I hope this clarifies things, and I apologize again for not responding sooner! Fan26 (Talk) 19:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello! I also extend my apologies for the late reply, as I have also been quite busy. I also concur that neutrality is of utmost importance. Nevertheless, I believe that the original article already has a bias against the Jedi. Therefore, I may make further edits to the article in the near future, but I will endeavor to allow the reader to draw their own conclusions. Bendeguz01 ( talk ) 17:56, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Greetings, the current page does indeed require a general cleanup. However, the main objective is to list recontextualized facts that alter the interpretation of previous works. An example would be Anakin being Darth Vader, even though our interpretation from A New Hope alone would suggest they are different people. However, this does not apply to, for example, Rey being a descendant of Obi-Wan, as this was never established in the original work. I hope this is helpful, Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 23:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am very pleased to see your enthusiasm for this topic!
However, I must state that everything I have added is accurate and not based on speculation. While it is true that Lucas intended for the Jedi to be heroes, he also made the decision to create a trilogy in which the Jedi ultimately failed. Similarly, Lucasfilm is now presenting the story of a "golden age" to illustrate how the Jedi were meant to behave. Cavan Scott's remarks in that interview do not represent an author's viewpoint contradicting the narrative; the High Republic era shows Jedi living as part of communities, whereas the Jedi of the late Republic (comparatively) are isolated within their temples. Indeed, is this not the central theme of The Living Force?
Regarding non-attachment, Iskat Akaris serves as the ultimate example of the Order's failure in the late Republic. She receives so little support that her story involves her choosing to act as the perfect Jedi during the day to enjoy "the nights [as] her only taste of freedom." The Jedi Order, as depicted in stories, is openly compassionate in the High Republic. In contrast, the late Republic has become overly focused on non-attachment. This is a delicate balance to maintain, but it is achievable. This is not to say that there are no compassionate Jedi in the late Republic, but rather that the actions of those who excessively adhere to the non-attachment rule harm the entire order.

- The non-attachment rule is frequently misinterpreted by Jedi to mean a lack of love, as stated in Midnight Horizon. The problem with the late Republic is that this misunderstanding of a lack of love is too prevalent. As for Iskat, the entire point of her story is to showcase how far the Jedi have fallen. That's why she falls. Living Force also demonstrates this: it's not that the Jedi don't care, but rather that they are becoming isolated and need to be prompted into action by Qui-Gon. The Jedi are not perfect, which was Lucas's intention. If the prequels represented the peak of the Jedi, there would be no need for the High Republic, nor would Lucas have created the films he did. There can be "bad" Jedi in the High Republic, but overall, the period represents the high point.
Yes, the Jedi have their roots in Buddhism. However, the story of the Jedi takes that inspiration and diverges in its own direction. And even if Lucas intended for the Jedi to be perfect, which I highly doubt, given how he depicted them in the prequels and TCW, it does not alter the canon media (and Legends, for that matter) that highlights their flaws.

- In addition to the fact that Lucas's films and TV series do indeed showcase the failings of the Jedi Order, with the very fact that the Jedi fall and are shown to have lost public support in TCW season five serving as proof of that, you appear to have misunderstood the concept that "if George Lucas says it, it's true." If a canonical story or source emerges that contradicts what Lucas thinks in his head, we side with the canonical story or source. Lucas recently claimed that the only racism in the Star Wars universe is against droids. This is not accurate; see Xenophobia and Speciesism. Even if it were true that there were no major faults of the Jedi Order shown under Lucas content, that would not disregard the faults revealed via non-Lucas content.
