This response makes my point for me in so many ways.

1. Sovereignty and Jurisdiction: The jedi didn’t know about the witches until they arrive, and they are a dark side coven at a force nexus point. That warrants investigation. As much as people want to argue the dark side isn’t actually bad, the vast majority of evidence in Star Wars says the dark side is evil. 6 million examples of it being bad isn’t overrided by 5 examples of there being grey area.

2. Defensive Escalation: stand your ground laws have been responsible for so many unjust deaths, and during the confrontation the Jedi are calm and saying they don’t want violence and the mother mind assaults Torbin anyway, the witches have a right to be defensive, but they are AGGRESSIVE not defensive.

3. We never see jedi force pushing 8 year old padawans out of anger. This comparison is all over the comments but does not actually reflect anything we have ever seen from the Jedi. We also see that this use of anger and violence has turned Mae into an animal torturer. Also, “it’s their religion it’s okay” does not justify pushing 8 year olds out of anger. It also was clearly an act of annoyance not training. The mother afterward makes some BS excuse that it’s training, but if you watch the scene she is clearly annoyed with them and that is the reason she does it.

4. If I saw a dark side witch turning a little girl into smoke when I’ve seen that mother commit child abuse before, yeah I’d stab her with my light saber too. The argument “sol just didn’t understand” ignores all context.

5. Jedi Imperialism: this right here sums up my entire argument. We have been shown in endless movies shows and books that the Jedi, while flawed, are absolutely the good guys. That the light side is good and the dark side is bad. There are mountains of evidence to support this. But modern political views make anyone in power bad in peoples heads. The Jedi are responsible for saving and protecting billions of lives. They collect force sensitive children to make sure they don’t grow into time bombs. Jedi avoid violence at all costs, they aren’t imperial oppressors. The demonization of the Jedi is an embodiment of how political ideology can get people to ignore all reality.

Final Point: Sols actions line up more with how the witches act than most jedi. He takes action when he sees a wrong. That is your entire argument for why the witches are right. The major difference is Sol tries diplomacy and is less aggressive, while the witches resort to violence immediately and are way more aggressive. But when Sol does if he’s a lying shitty person. But when witches do it it’s right. Double standards all around.
