Yeah...the old Republic and the old Jedi order actually sucked. Kind of insane how Palpatine in the space of a generation was able to completely convert a crumbling and weakening democracy into a fascist empire. That's one of the things I actually think Rian Johnson got right. What I think he got wrong is that part of Luke's whole character arc in the original trilogy is about learning to not idealize the past and that his heroes don't have all the answers...which is why he is able to redeem his father in spite of everyone telling him he can't and why Legends Luke is best luke since he completely reforms the entire Jedi order.
Oh yea sure, becuase under the Republic, Slavery was illeg...oh wait.
Hmm...they had a post-scarcity socie...hmmm
Oh yea! They at least eradicated hunger, like I mean we never see anyone starv...fuck.
What exactly is based about Star Wars?
