>>15584726>They're politicians, in fact the first thing you see them do in the prequels is try to negotiate the dismantling of a trade blockadeThey are literally sent because they are a peaceful third party. It is exactly because they are not politicians that they are sent. They are peacekeepers and will attempt to negotiate peace in any scenario.
>They're diplomats operating under the command of the republicIt's constantly mentioned how the republic has no authority over the Jedi and vice versa.
>they're the hatchetmen who hunt down the republic's political adversariesWho? Dooku? The only reason he was killed was because, again, Anakin killed him as a corrupted Jedi, and immediately comments on the fact that a Jedi wouldn't have killed him. The Jedi don't hunt people.
>the entire reason Palpitine is able to justify his rise to power is by saying the Jedi have gone rogueSo you haven't watched the movies. That's not how he justifies his rise to power, that's how he justifies their slaughter to the senate. And it's a lie, so I have no idea what point you're making again.
>they're whatever the plot needs them to be. In what way? You've said nothing to support this.
