Star Wars: The Acolyte official trailer

[Peelee]

It's not that weird. The whole point of the prequel trilogy is... to show that the Jedi Order and the Republic itself were both well past their prime and rife with a mixture of arrogance, corruption and hypocrisy.

You got a source on that? Or is it just what you think?

Honestly, it's hard to keep track of whether the Jedi and Republic were arrogant and incompetent and that's why they fell, or whether Palpatine was a mastermind who could never have failed, and the switch is so frequent and so rapid I get whiplash every time I hear one of those two needlessly adversarial claims.
