He is, and every work he's in hates him for it despite him being basically right. They paint him caring enough to be willing to be mildly ruthless (towards combatants, not even civilians or something) as if it's a giant character flaw
My favorite example is in Jedi: Fallen Order. You can find the corpse of a stormtrooper Saw ambushed, and Cal comments "whoa, Saw's so ruthless". Meanwhile, Cal cuts down stormtroopers by the dozen, including by ambush lol
Fallen Order sorta just....does the "he goes too far" thing offscreen the whole time which I guess was good cause it means less moralizing. But the worst fucking example is the first Rebels two-parter with Saw, which was just atrocious. The second 2-parter however is fucking perfect aside from Hera's B-plot which was pure shit.
RO honestly does just prove him correct which is nice, though they cut a bunch of stuff with him that Edwards shot, and given that the scenes we know Edwards shot are openly just the empire as US troops in the Middle East vs the rebellion as like Sadr or the insurgency
