i think the fact he was turned so easily proves he shouldnt have been trained to the extent he was. that single failure caused the eventual death of millions
Yeah, the jedi were wrong, but the facts really point to "they were wrong to be so lenient". Sure, if they'd let him become a master he might have had a bit more loyalty. But anakin was already too enslaved to his emotions, and even if they made him a master and condoned his relationship with padme, something else would be the spark that sideous used to turn him.
He trained from what, 8 years old until 20? They could have taught him to deal with emotions healthily instead of just saying "emotions bad, Jedi good". There's plenty of real-life examples of troubled people becoming healthy with the love and support of their family
Yes, but if all Jedi are trained the way described, do any of the masters know how to deal with emotions?
So yes, they are all assholes.
Ignorance is not the same thing as cruelty.
They don't, because it's a fundamental systemic flaw of the Order. Someone like Anakin was innevitable, and those people show up regularly within the knights. Dooku and Ventress had similar problems, and that's just major figures contemporary to Anakin. The Inquisitors were others with similar issues, and even they are just from the small fraction of Jedi that survived the innitial purge.
It's really not a coincidence that the most well adjusted Jedi spent so much time away from the Order.
