Hypothetical Debate

First topic message reminder :

Hey guys!! I want your opinion about something. I think you all (or most) have seen Star Wars Episode 3, right? Well remember the scene when Windu with other jedis decided to go after Darth Sidious? And Anakin appeared and help Sidious to defeat Windu and became his apprentice?
Well you see, Windu (and I think it was the decition of the council too) decided to go after Darth Sidious and kill him because of what he has done and because his evil. I am not justifying what Darth Sidious have dones is right (on the opposite, I think is terrible), but killing him is the right thing? I mean, that isn´t against of the jedi's way? Shouldn´t the council sent him to a trial and, if the judge says he is guilty (which I think it would be the most certain thing), then to prison (even if "he is too dangerous to be alive")?
So I want to see your opinion about it, maybe it´s a little silly and is so sudden and without explanation
I personally think that killing him isn´t the jedi way and won´t be appropiate. Everyone has the right to have a trial, even the bad guys like him. And everyone deserves a second chance. At least that is what I think, maybe not many people will think like me but I want to see your point of view

i always want to place this in a real life perspective, but that would never be appropriate because its is a galaxy far far away with cultures and ways of thinking that the fiction tells us to have existed a long time ago.

but the jedi still seem to be a "clan" or "sect" following a lecture on life and powers that not a lot of people possess. at best they seem to have formed what seems to be an unofficial police force with sort of an mercenary status, where whomever is classified by them to be apropriate to achieve their protection, will be viable to call on them for help.

they chose to hide the truth from those that can not handle it, and act in the shadows of all those different societies while having a dubious status.

windu fighting with anger and the goal of killing an enemy of his order, seems to be a liberty which the
higher ranked jedi will take to eliminate what seems to be a severe threat to themselves and all the societies in their galaxy. this raises the idea that they sometimes change the rules of the game to what fits them best. they like any other man fear to lose the power they have.

Thank you for your words. But I made a mistake in naming it. And I made the mistake to skim through that topics. One the one hand I am kind of surprised how calm I kept and hpw much efforts I gave in about being neutral. But then I see those words of hate and stupidity, for which I never got any apology. Now it takes me months again to get over my negative feelings towards certain ppl. I should just have read BDLs reply and be happy about it.

Always remember we all love you xaso  

Wow, never thought this debate would generate so much ideas and concepts about the jedis and the siths and the operation of their politic structure too. It´s really interesting the speculation of some points of view and even some comparisons between reality and that world, even if I share it or not. Thanks guys for your opinions!!

True BDL ^^

Right and wrong is something that people say are merely points of "view", I actually disagree. I think morals and good will is passed on an evolutionary basis, and then fortified by adding more scripted morals to a young person when they grow up. Imagine a person who had no human contact since birth, who had never been taught morals, would be known as a savage. However I believe this person would still, on a basic level, have evolutionarly evolved to know that killing something/someone, wouldn't be a nice thing to do. So I believe that at least knowing "good" and "bad", are actually part of our genetic configuration, its merely a choice which choice a person wants to make.

However in Star Wars I think it definately is a point of view, much more than in real life.

Interesting...his outlook on peace...maybe he actually genuinely thought, he was a force for good?

Yea, the whole problem is that we don't know what the Sith thought as "Peace". Who knows what would happen after they would take over, if it would be slavery for everyone or would the crime rate skyrocket up due to the Sith not caring. (then again we don't know, but most likely they wouldn't care)

Seriously ? Why does the forum keep breaking for me ? it's like the last reply on each page is just cut off and I can see a big lightsaber in the background!?!?

Mine also does that

Funny thing is, Palpatines statement is something that I think represents the thinking of alot of political parties in real life. I really can just imagine British Prime Minister David Cameron saying "Once more the Conservative Party shall rule Great Britain, and we...shall...have...PEACE"

Its not all that different is it. Yet David Cameron has a half a country of supporters.

Lol, see Obama is another example. xD

Phoe, you should vote UKIP

Why? Small time party with flawed policies...

They want out of europe for starters

Holy shit I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and I don't even really know British politics. Karma for destroying my gut with laughter!!

I would prefer Nigel Farage over David Cameron. UKIP FTW

Vote for Al Gore, he invented the internet

I'd probably prefer the Cookie Monster to David Cameron to be honest...
