gffa:(The Last Jedi novelization, by Jason Fry)Of course the bigger point Luke is trying to make is about how the Jedi say rushing into a situation with panic burning in your mind will make things worse (which they’re right about), but as I was reading this, it reminded me that this specific quandary is also sort of the PT Jedi Order’s point.How do you solve this dilemma?  Just let people get hurt because you’ll make it worse later on?  Or help them now and throw the future into the wind, when maybe sometimes things will work out, but not always?There’s another answer, though–you set up a system where you make it so that the raiding party knows that you will always have jurisdiction to stop them/punish them.  One Jedi can’t always be there, but you know what would work a lot better?  If the Jedi were allied with a system of government–like, oh, say, a Republic, for example–where they would have legal authority in that area, rather than just being rogue vigilantes, to do something about it as a group.Then, yes, someone could be there next month and the month after that and the month after that as well.This is why the Jedi agreeing to become part of the Republic makes perfect sense, especially when they did so at the end of a very long, very devastating war (as the propaganda book tells us).  They joined so they could keep the peace when lingering disputes threatened to flame back up into open war, because then they would have the legal authority to do so.  They joined so that, when asked to help a planet, they could legally go there as part of the system that was trying to help them.  They joined so that they weren’t glorified bounty hunters that only the rich could afford.  They joined so that they could help more people more consistently, which you cannot do nearly half as well from outside the system. -- source link
