    Why exactly was a military order unbeholden to the elected officials and made up of what amouts to warrior monks considered a boon to a democracy in the first place.

          It took me a long time to figure out how to link that. They've only recently made it easy for codgers like me.

            Jedi aren't cowards. They are obselete, outdated, and have no fashion sense to boot.

              And if Jedi powers are hereditary (there those midaclorians go ****ing up **** again), and
              Jedi are apparently unable to marry and dabble in the pleasures of the flesh, how do we end up with more Jedi through the ages?

                They aren't ONLY hereditary. Maybe the reason they can't get married (aside from the emotions leading to the dark side stuff ) is so they can't create UBER-JEDI!

                  Thats right, I forgot that French slave whore girl was the Virgin Mary, and Anakin Jesus.

                  Evil Jesus....

                    Yet Star Wars Episode 4 has Obi-wan living out in the sticks on an out-of-the-way desert, and Episode 5 shows Yoda hunkered down in a jungle world.

                    Cowardly beggars are they? More concerned for their own wretched existences than restoring Justice to the galaxy?
                    Saving the galaxy from a too-easily controlled whiny momma's boy with anger issues?

                    Might as well wait until he dies off so you can have a real villain to fight.

                      The Empire was the best thing to ever happen to the galaxy.

                              Ah, so I guess it is the Holy Spirit sort of thing, chosen by God.

                              Not only do these warrior monks totally run the civilian leadership as puppets, but now this great democratic republic is run by a religious order too?
