So, you know, maybe institute term limits instead of going full fascism. Star Wars is so unrealis...oh.
The Jedi council are unelected folk (from a religious sect) just doing things bcs they can. Like kidnapping all force-sensitive children.
They are like the Church in the middle ages with a private army, public funding, more powerful than most state officials, not subject to state laws, and not disclosing their affairs or motives publicly.
I think the word kidnapping is doing some heavy lifting here. Aren't the kids there by choice?
Isn't the new show just canon saying they forced them/the jedi had to bring them in bcs of the threat they would become sith?
Also nobody went & rescue Vaders parents, they just bought a child slave (if he would work for them that is), and neither the planetary royalty nor the galactic Jedi order didn't have the funds to buy two parent slaves (or help the planet for that matter).
