Im gonna go on a tangeant, but am I missing something in the lore or is Yoda a fucking coward? The sith, with the assistance of the empire, comes in and murders all of his friends and even all the Padawans and he just says "nothing to be done" and goes into hiding.
It's incredible how Andor recontextualizes this because when this happens to other people like Andor or Luthen or Kayla or any other part of the rebellion and it's precursors, they choose to harness their hate and fight to make things better. Even the people we'd call liberals and co-opters like Mothma (debatable, she did sacrifice a lot and was very comitted), Leah's father, and other former senate members still did more to fight than these loser Jedis. People with everything to lose and a fraction of the power Jedis have and they actually commit to fighting. Even the fucking sith lords put themselves on the front line and commit to an ideology.
And after all of that, the Jedi suddenly decide its time to participate once the rebellion is already built up and flourishing, they send one golden special boy to fight, and suddenly they're the spear head of the movement. Fuck these assholes, I hate the Jedi, especially Yoda.
Yoda tried to fight and lost, so he put himself into exile, as is the Jedi way...
The system was designed to weed out the old dinosaurs from trying to hold onto power, because if you failed, you were out-- you always had to be at the top of your game.
Star Wars is a Gigantic universe, and most of the good stories don't involve the Jedi at all.
Maybe they wanted Luke Skywalker to be some kind of Jesus figure? Or just a garden-variety white savior?
