Social Why the Term Jedi Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity,Diversity,,

Without spoiling everything here. Lets just say the Sith found a way to take the advantage of the Jedi. Where Jedi themselves have not seen it.

Everythnig in Star Wars was preordained. Palpatine/Sidious sort of created Anakin when he unnaturally made Anakin's mother pregnant. The prophecy predicted Anakin was the choosen one, and in the end he was, because he killed Darth Sidious. There was no option for the Star Wars universe to take a path different from what was foretold. In a way there was no free will, and everyone was just going through the motions.
 
I know, thought maybe you dredged this up from some random hack site but I was a bit shocked to see it was SA.

I'm okay with media criticism but this is just getting ridiculous. Its like there's a checklist and you can go judge any past work according to the check list and almost autogenerate a "critical" essay on it.

Imagine applying the values of 21st century liberalism to the fucking Jedi Order lmao.

If you're world building for a fantastical science fiction universe and your characters mirror your audience's values then you're a scrub.

World building does not preclude criticism. If we can't apply our sense of morality then whose do we apply. The Star Wars lore is based on human morality, how could it not be.

To see that there some in the Western Countries that are offended by story building elements its absurd.

I don't think any lore or movie should be above criticism when the script is lousy or meh.

In the case of Anakin's mother, it just comes across as lazy script writing. The Jedi didn't rescue Anakin's mother because the script needed Anakin to get pissed many years down the road when he finds his mother murdered. I think the script writers, of such a massive iconic franchise, could have done a hellva better job of inventing a reason for Anakin to be mad.

People shit on Prometheus and Covenant because one expected better script writing / Alienverse building. In Promethes the script writers needed to advance the plot so they took the easy way out by creating moronic scientists.

I'm not saying that world building can't be critiqued, that'd be absurd. I'm saying that nitpicking aspects of a fictional order of intergalactic celibate monks who wield magical powers is silly.

If we're going to critique the world building of Star Wars then I find it more interesting when its done in a way that examines how the world building interacts with the narrative.
Pretty sure Tusken Raiders are a dig at Muslims.

They're obviously based on Bedouin tribes and Tatooine more generally being a space opera rendition of a lot of Orientalist tropes. Pointing this out in a major publication is like pointing out that Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. In other words, its what I expect of a high school book report and not a published article in The Scientific American.

Imagine to be this woke.
This article has lost points on reality... But they are obsessed with the "Wokeness"

While ignoring most of the stuff in SW had being built for World Building story wise... This article is absurd and its written by the scientificamerican..

Imagine to be this woke and to proclaim that The Space opera franchisee SW had its success because of trafficking and "Salve Leia" and to prefer to call the Jedi white saviroris.
Curious how you came across this article?

Man you digging hard to find this kind of stuff ? Hard way to live lol.

This stuff is mainstream now, if you said this five years back you'd be more on point. I'm not saying this article in and of itself is popular, but you see this sort of thing everywhere now. It's more something to shake your head and laugh at and be disappointed in rather than something to be angry over.
 
Thought this would be a parody thread, turns out it's an actual article from scientific American.

Our schools had a 96% increase in students since 1950, and the increase in "administrators" was over 700%. These woke people realized they majored in garbage and have 0 functional skills, so they have to keep getting more and more ridiculous to maintain their imaginary jobs. There's a reason per student spending has been increasing yet schools keep getting shittier, and the places with the highest per student spending have the lowest literacy rates. All of the money is going to paying for fabricated jobs.

Exactly what I do . Laugh smh move on.
 
I saw this article being mentioned on a blog a couple of days ago. Some wondered if it was a parody. The whole thing is daft, if the author is being serious.

Ok, now going off on a tangent...

After watching endless YT videos on Star Wars lore , I got to thinking that the Jedi aren't as great as everyone believes them to be. I have mentioned this before in Mayberry : it was pretty dam shitty of the Jedi to just abandon Anakin's mother when they took Anakin . Why didn't they free her from slavery ? And indoctrinating kids from a young age the way they do shouldn't be a good thing.

Mandalorians >>>>> Jedi
 
The goal of the left is a socialist revolution that leads to communism. The method is making everyone so miserable that they forget how good they have it and willingly hand power to the far left just to have a moments peace. So everything, LITERALLY EVERYTHING, is a problem. It's all considered to be part of a conspiracy by the powerful to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else. The "solution" is to hand power to leftists to fix it by redistributing resources and control how we can speak and think about issues. In other words leftist tyranny.
 
I only skimmed the article, it doesn't strike me as interesting. Yeah, Star Wars has "problematic" stuff in it, no fucking shit lol. And in another few decades the stuff that hyper social justice-y types are into meow will probably also be viewed as dated. So it goes.

Star Wars is a mish mosh of stuff taken from other sources, fictional and real, from the lens of its creators, who were primarily (all?) light skinned and grew up in an imperialist nation. There's many critiques that can be made of it. I'm whatever about the article, just seems boring, vapid and trite to me. The mention of "violent phallic duels", lol, you mean sword fights? Yeah... lightsabers are based off of swords which can be described as phallic. Dueling with swords is a real thing that happened, people fought wars with melee weaponry, including swords. If you wanna call warfare "toxically masculine" go for it I guess, but that's not saying anything and it's not interesting.

As an aside, the Jedi themselves are critiqued within the Star Wars universe, lol, there's entire story lines about their impropreities and their failings, hell, the fuckin' prequel trilogy is an indictment of the whole Order.

The problem with a lotta these hyper social justice-y types is that they're not giving any real interesting insights a lotta the time and in some instances - as witnessed in this article - they're just throwing around buzz words. Get that money and pat yourself on the back I guess.

Anyway, Carl Sagan:

It’s such a weird phenomenon that there is an industry that self perpetuates it’s own trash to stay operating but otherwise has no real value. I doubt even more than 10% of liberals would see this type of writing as having any sort of value whatsoever.
