  • The Jedi frequently can get very heavy handed- at least sometimes in cannon. Especially when it comes to other Jedi dying.

    But, just hear me out here.

    The sith/dark Jedi dude said “we kill the dream.” Now, hypothetically, let’s say the 4 of them saw the fire and got heavy handed. Maybe they killed a few witches, maybe not, maybe they bombed them, or maybe they just did enough to get to their recruit.

    Now, let’s say they left with their recruit, and the sith dude slipped in and slaughtered everyone, while rescuing Mae. (Remember, Mae survived too, probably got rescued.) and then raised Mae telling her the Jedi did it.

    as for the Jedi, they returned to keep and eye on whatever the freaky cult was doing only to find everyone slaughtered. They can’t really remember doing it, but they were angry, and it was all a bit sudden and rushed…

    So, they personally accepted their guilt, and the Order just kind of brushed it off as “unfortunate “, maybe the others of the order are trying to be nice, but are ultimately patronizing because they don’t know how to deal with PTSD, so it goes untreated.

    Fast forward a decade or two, and now things are even more uncertain for those 4… and those four are doing whatever they can to atone. Inara was a wandering Jedi doing the have-lightsaber-will-travel thing, Mr Floaty Jesus was doing the Floaty thing, the fireball went into exile protecting nature and Sol returned to teaching younglings.

    None of them really dealt with the emotions because Jedi aren’t supposed to have them. Of course Floaty takes the poison.
