re: Yoda and the Clone Wars era Jedi Council were really not competent at their jobs at all

Totally agree. The prequels made the jedi look weak as hell. They were almost wiped out on Geonysis by a enemy that was high in numbers but not intelligence. Yet the Jedi rushed in like the union army.

The council never made the right descion. I also hate the retcon BS of there being dark energy under the jedi temple. So they couldn't sense the sith. They can sense the smallest hint of force in a kid from a distance.


That's not even the worst.

Count Dookoo is really the good guy of the ENTIRE story. He saw the corruption of the Republic and wanted a far more Democratic system. The Guilds of workers had equal seat with the member worlds in the confederacy.
They had their own senate and acted in the interest of the keeping goods flowing.
Sidious was pulling his strings but Dookoo didn't want to fly commit to the empire either. That's why he was killed.
