Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?

Isn't them not having an army the reason why the first order took over in the sequel trilogy? You'd think they'd remember what happened last time

padme sex slaves for all the chink aliens

>The jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the old republic
What do you not understand about this concept?

he's talking about the republic, not the jedi
or are you implying the jedi could keep the peace without the republic needing an army?

Yes because that's the implication you're supposed to draw

Some millennials were only seven years old when this film was released. That said, no, I was not. In fact, Star Wars was the first thing to pique my interest in IRL politics.

lmao what a fucking stupid idea
were they supposed to be such excellent negotiators that they could stop opposing factions from taking down an interstellar republic?

I understand that two douchebags in robes aren't going to do anything to an entire fleet of ships threatening a planet which is why the republic ends up needing an army in the prequels. Also in TPM the only reason they "win" at the end is because 99% of the Trade Federation ships leave, they would have needed an actual fleet to combat them without that plot convenience.

Yes

especially since in the movie their negotiation techniques fail within five seconds.

Same.

>this is the guy that sent the two jedi to negotiate with the trade federation in the first place

and now there sworn testimony along with the queen leader of the planet isn't good enough? this is the real reason TPM and the prequels are awful, not "muh jar jar" or too much cgi

this lmao. And when the republic has no army even the best negotiate in the world would fail at trying to talk down any adversary with a halfway competent army

Gunray set them up. And they still worked it all out in the end without direct involvement of the Republic. That's how Palpatine took all the credit while Valorum was relegated the history books as a galactic embarassment.
Somehow the Republic took on and nearly wiped out the Mandalorians thirty years before the Clone Wars. Granted, the Jedi sent Count Motherfucking Dooku to negotiate and even he apparently failed, but they were still able to resolve an agreement through

>Somehow the Republic took on and nearly wiped out the Mandalorians thirty years before the Clone Wars
With what army? Did they draw on armies from planets in the republic?

With the clone army occupying the planet directly after the ending to the final season.

They had a clone army before the clone wars?

There aren't enough Jedi to even be the Galactic equivalent of the Blue Helmets. It's a dumb idea. The Jedi aren't supposed to be anything other than space cops.

This was such a cautionary tale and an excellent parallel of real life politics. Completely filtered millions of liberals who somehow prefer the sequels.

As powerful as they are, they probably number less than a million in a galaxy with trillions of people.

Fuck this dude for making the Republic a shithole
Palpatine did nothing wrong

Allow me to correct myself.
In the final season of The Clone Wars cgi cartoon, a massive Republic Clone Army invasion of Mandalore is shown.

>parallel of real life politics
>filtered liberals
Please explain what real world politics the prequel trilogy represents to you.

I agwee wit dis decision.

How is it that people have 0 trouble believing Sheev Palpatine was successful in effectively tricking the entire senate into granting him supreme powers through political subterfuge but cannot get their head around Joe Biden's campaign doing the same

>padme sex slaves
>they're gungans with human skin and features painted on
never trust the (((trade))) federation

I don't understand, are they showing an invasion of Mandalore from decades ago or did they invade Mandalore during the clone wars?

When the bureaucrats interfere with the Chancellor’s decision, brainlet thanks for proving my point, seethe and come again.

Because orange buffoon

Because Biden isn’t Palpatine in this scenario. He’s Vallorum.

Republic space was always a Monopoly board of corporate-military conglomerates, independent colony systems, backwater trading worlds, and hermit kingdoms, with the Sith resurrecting themselves from time to time to wreak utter destruction upon the galaxy.

>Real world politics

So if Jedi are comparable to space cops, they quite literally would be the keepers of peace and justice, would they not? Or at the very least the enforcers of said tranquility.

They aren't space cops, they're more like space homeland security.

More like space Opus Dei.
