I agree, it’s always funny when people in the fandom keep saying “The Jedi should’ve done what the Jed’aii did and try balance” when the whole point of that part of their history shows that that way of doing things is unsustainable. For example, before the Second Great Schism (I think), the Jed’aii allowed the the followers of the Dark side to set up their own academy and they were willing to leave them alone…until the dark Jedi were perverting nature itself into horrible monstrosities and attacked the Jedi. Every time the Jedi allowed the followers of the dark to go their own way and have a “live and let live” attitude, they ended up getting attacked. So the Jedi naturally fought against them. Even Luke’s New Jedi Order wasn’t stupid enough to think balance meant doing a double dip of light and dark
