The High Republic is certainly not the height of Jedi arrogance. That goes to the prequel era jedi. The Jedi of the high republic ARE arrogant, but kind of the whole point of the era is that the jedi are at their most ideal. Attachments aren't as scrutinized, the view of the force is more open to interpretation, and the jedi understood their role to be that of advisors to the Republic, not their police force.

@lisamarieligreci-newton7804 2 ай бұрын

Right?? I have a feeling based on some of the dialogue though that this is essentially going to be taking that tack though - the Jedi are an elitist, power hungry institution and were never good, etc. It's possible of course that it could be a misdirection (as it's also a frequent shield for people who really do just want power for their own sake). But I'm really hoping we get to see an example of a functional Jedi Republic and what those philosophies look like in balance (no pun intended, haha).

This is before the temple guards were formed, likely the middle of the high republic. The end of the high republic alone is almost 500 years, this is likely darth tenebrous, or darth cognus/millenial. Honestly simply the fact that they’re hunting and killing Jedi, tells me it’s darth cognus, as that’s the only time the Jedi learned about the rule of 2, after that they thought the banites were extinct
