On top of all that Lucas, I think unintentionally, made the Jedi Order out to be a bunch of amoral child exploiting cock-bags. Their tacit condoning of slavery already cast them in a very dubious light, but choosing to keep Anakin while letting his mother remain a slave without at least trying to go back and purchase her freedom was just an unforgivable decision. Amidala didn’t see fit to do shit about the situation either, though you can kind of overlook that since she wasn’t really an adult yet had her own planet to worry about, but the Jedi? Was this how they treated all the children they trained? Just take them from their parents under duress, without any real consent, and leave them with gigantic levels of unresolved emotional damage?

That movie was fucked on so many levels, but when it was over I couldn’t bring myself to give the tiniest fuck about whatever horrible fate awaited the Jedi.

The Jedi order as envisioned by Lucas was a complete fucking mess
