In earlier revisions of TPM, the Jedi wore more elaborate clothes, but this was changed at some point to the desert farmer outfit Obi-wan wears in the OT, and it's been said they wear these simple robes to symbolize their compassion for the lowliest people in the galaxy or something like that. Which of course is massively hypocritical as they spend most of their time actually running errands for the most powerful, and when they actually encounter those whose clothes they wear, they do very little to help them; Obi-wan even considering Anakin "another pathetic lifeform".

anakin and his mom are literally the only 2 slaves shown in the entire movie, and the jedi basically buy one of them and leave the other

They had slave collars that would explode if they tried to escape.

Yes no other religious or political entity in the real world puts up pretensions of austerity while actually having significant sources of wealth and power.
Never before in real human history has this been experienced, therefor it's utterly implausible that an overly powered religious institute serving a top-heavy, bloated, and corrupt autocracy portray itself in this manner in fiction.




If anything that's one thing the prequels got RIGHT, was portraying the very late Jedi as being incompetent tools of the oligarchs who were so lazy and slothful because of their decadence they were blinded to the rise of the dark side.

Vader has no family left and he always hated Tatooine (why wouldn’t he). The only way he could ever confront Obi-wan there is if he were willing to face his past as Anakin Skywalker, which is something he can never do without renouncing the dark side.

You don't think that the fact that the ship Leia was on was headed to Tattooine, got shot down over Tattooine, shot a pod at Tattooine, required a special order from Vader to search Tattooine, rang any possible bells for Vader that maybe something was up with Tattooine, the planet where he was born


e: it's still a loving dumb as poo poo place to go live on the planet the main bad guy was born and lived on when you have infinity-1 options elsewhere to choose from. I mean saying "well it's a good choice" is like saying it'd be a good choice to go set up camp in the ruins of the Jedi temple because hell they already blew that up, who'd be dumb enough to live there.

Look I'm just saying, let's use a made up real world scenario.
Let's say Saddam Hussein's son lived and the US wanted to find him.

If years later he was discovered living in disguise under an assumed name in a hut in Borneo you'd think, 'Wow that's a decent spot to hide."
If he was discovered living in an apartment next to the ruins of Saddam Hussein's palace, looking at it with binoculars every day, and going by 'Tom Hussein' while still wearing his army uniform, wouldn't you think maybe he could have come up with a better plan?

the jedi robes thing is kinda funny too cuz luke doesn't even wear them...ever? maybe at jabba's palace but its all black and he's actually back on tatooine

lucas could have chosen anything, even no uniform at all, but had to fall back on nostalgia because he has no good ideas.

maybe yoda's robes were designed to evoke old ben's? but they're not the same, certainly not uniform



also, it always bothered me that luke is supposed to be some sort of really powerful jedi. i always figured, and if i remember correctly it was shown, that he was just some schlub. like, sure he could do jedi poo poo, but he's not some "master jedi"

I just figured he wasn't trained that much but there is still a lot of raw talent or whatever.

In 5 Vader goes "the force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet" and then wrecks him with minimal effort so yeah.

Luke has a lot of raw potential but he’s not a great Jedi or even a Jedi at all (dying Yoda tells him he doesn’t count as one until he confronts Vader again) in the same sense as Obi-wan or Yoda are, only in a much looser sense. He’s the last remnant of their ancient religion, but transforms it and goes against it. He doesn’t know all their magic tricks or fancy sword fighting, because they don’t teach him those things — after all, they knew all those things themselves and yet totally failed to stop Vader and Sidious from annihilating their order. They try and focus more on giving him a less poisonous mindset towards his power than they gave Anakin, and it pretty much works better than they even realize, since he manages to win in the end without murdering his own dad. But yeah, the only time he ever defeats another Jedi or Sith in a fight is when he hulks out with dark side rage and cuts off Vader’s hand, and what it shows him in that case is “wow, maybe chopping people up with a sword isn’t how I want to spend my life”. You can take the prequels’ Jedi who are obsessed with chopping everyone up with swords and can’t understand why the dark side is clouding their vision as an addendum to this.
