That's fair, but that's still based on my interpretation of the Jedi Order's behavior holistically. I agree they are labeled and written as "the good" in the series, but that's not what I see portrayed by them (which is why I find the Acolyte to be accurate). Does that make sense?

Like, they take and indoctrinate children away from their native spaces rather than trying to understand those native spaces more and assist them long-term. The Jedi have always done this throughout the whole series, for example.

It makes sense, but tbc that's *your* reinterpretation of the Jedi Order, *not* what Lucas wrote them as in the OT, prequels or TCW, nor is it how they're depicted in TLJ. But it is how they're retconned in Acolyte, and that's my beef. We can agree to disagree on whether that's a good thing.

Oh, I see. Totally fair. I'm very much a "death of the author" kind of person, so I'm always placing art into a broader context outside the author's intent. Authors are also humans within a social medium, so I'm sure their stories are influenced by metanarratives unintentionally.
