“What were the jedi supposed to do! The clones were practically forced upon them!”
actually has an easy answer given that the jedi order is supposed to be an order that advocates for peace and non-violence. Their first response to the clones, who were basically bred to fight a war against their will should not be “let’s use them anyway, i mean that’s all they’re good for” it should probably have been “let’s intorudce these men into society and work on giving them rights because we have the powr to do so. Let’s peacefully advocate for the end of clone production so we are not here creating men to fight against their will, since we have collectively decided that we will not use the clones against their will!”
That is what the jedi, and the senate should have done instead of jumping to use them as literal slaves. Or at least–after the first battle of geonosis, they could have agreed to let clones pick and choose if they wanted to stay in the war and those who wanted to leave could have gotten a lot of therapy (bcs they needed it) and could have been given citizenship.
The fandom literally has a black and white train of thought because they automatically assume that the one soultion for the jedi since they had no choice to accept the clones, was to use them for a war. No, that wasn’t the only solution. Not by a long shot.
Yes! And not only that, but the Jedi shouldn’t have gotten involved in the war in first place!
“Protect all living beings” they say, but it seems like they only care about the living beings who live in the Republic. Or does being part of the Separatists automatically makes you a non living being? It seems like that was the Jedi ides.
They should have helped the clones, who were never given the choice to be something else, and give them that choice. Aren’t the Jedi supposed to protect freedom?
But honestly, what can be expected from people who take kids away from their family to teach them what THEY believe in and never accept being questioned.
