Inability to multitask, sense the other weapon, sense her intentions, etc,

Falling for the "look over there"?

She is a Jedi Master, she doesn't get a pass for being weak or untrained

“look over there” is different than “this guy will die if you don’t do something”

At some point, you need to accept things need to happen for a show to work.

you gotta see that your nitpicking this point.

Yeah she died because she stopped the knife from
killing the bartender and was distracted

not because she was arrogant.


So, her telling Mae she could not beat her and assuming she had the situation under control is the normal behavior of a Jedi Master.

I also guess we should be glad that Yoda could multi-task unlike her

She allowed her arrogance to assume she could win which in turn she ignored her insight to know what her opponent may do.

Exactly and you have to accept the fact that Disney will create whatever without concern if it works based off of canon or EU.

Jedi master is just a term they throw around Willy Nilly now. Tommen can shield against mind control as a padawan yet Cal, a master cannot. Jacki, as a padawan can out fight any Jedi master we’ve seen, it makes no sense.

Do not deflect here as I have never said that. I fail to understand why people do this.

It has been canon up to this point that Jedi with the exception of a very few have been able to control their emotions. Again, her comment in that scene was her telling Mae she could not win. Her arrogance blinded her to the possible outcomes as she was overconfident, she could beat Mae.

and at this point there are thousands of jedi.

It’s just not who stories get told about.

She was trying to get Mae
to stop and reason.

In a fair fight Mae couldn’t win and Indarra didn’t want to have to kill her.

They’re actively trying to ruin the Jedi with their moral relativism nonsense. And constantly referring to it as a “religion” just because some irrelevant moron in ANH called it that to mock Vader is so lazy and ignorant but we all know why they do it.

Why would I be insecure, I’m not a Jedi. You make some very strange accusations in order to deflect and derail perfectly reasonable and easy to see observations. I wonder why?…… just kidding, I know why.

Well since you refuse to acknowledge even the most basic and glaring writing mistakes in the show, in fact you’ve defended every mistake pointed out in this show, it’s a little difficult to take your word for it when you say things like that.
