The Jedi use the Force constantly. To deflect blaster bolts. To dodge hits. To predict their opponents moves. To sense danger. To read thoughts. etc... They use the force more passively. Also remember what Yoda said "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence, never for attack." Simply put, the lightsaber is the Jedi's offensive weapon. Jedi are an intentionally nerfed version of Force-sensitives. The Force is a powerful ally, and too often Force-sensitives commit atrocities with it. The Jedi Code was not invented to help Force sensitive beings maximize their power-- rather, it is a self-imposed restriction on ways the Force will be used, akin to an extra-sensory Geneva Convention.

Yeah, what you guys imagine the Jedi to be and what they really were are two different things, and that is one of the main points of the show. This will become way clearer the further into the show you go, and honestly, is one of the reasons people say the show is so good at explaining the prequels, because it explains why they were the way they were by the time of Revenge of the SIth and probably why they lost so badly as well.

Luminara is supposed to be wrong here, I think that's what the writers were going for. Chris is right, "They Jedi aren't good at their jobs." Jedi teaching might be open to some interpretation but it seems like most Jedi believe that they need to be emotionally dead inside. That's kind of shown here where Luminara Unduli is like, "Well, my padawan is about to die, I'm gonna go get lunch Skywalker."

"They made Luminara look more cold than they wanted" No. With Luminara that played exactly how the writers wanted. That was part of the point of the ep guys. In the same way that Anakin is too much in one direction, so is Luminara, and the rest of the Jedi Masters. You need balance.... This is why i love Clone Wars so much. Too often people romanticize what a jedi is. Clone Wars deconstructs it all, and gives you a more realistic outlook. Ngl, it makes me sad that the direction of Dave Filoni was questioned in this ep. The guy is an absolute genius.

There is no emotion, there is peace There is no ignorance, there is knowledge There is no passion, there is serenity There is no chaos, there is harmony There is no death, there is the force This is literally the code of the Jedi no passion or emotion while on the Sith's code it's actually the opposite

Really loved your discussion on “what makes a good Jedi.” I think Chris is definitely right that the portrayal of Luminara here is meant to embody what the Jedi teachings actually are and it really puts cracks into the “Jedi are absolute good” mythos that comes from only watching the movies I think. They actively teach to suppress your emotions and teach kids that. Chris really nailed it when he said this contrasts with anakin who responds like any of us would when confronted with emotional moments. This show is basically putting together the puzzle of why a akin turned and how really human “characteristics led him down a path of no return to the biggest bad we know.

Eh, I wouldn't say that at all. Not that she's right either, it's just not even close to being as simple as right or wrong, it's extremely grey. Her suppression of emotion is extremely cold, but you also have to remember that Jedi aren't like most people. They're extraordinarily powerful and could harm thousands or even millions if they allow themselves to fall to the Dark Side, which is fueled by emotion and is portrayed as an addictive slippery slope. The Jedi have a responsibility to control themselves that others don't. And while in this instance Luminara was wrong for giving up so fast, she's ultimately right in the long run, as it is absolutely Anakin's attachment to Padme and fear of losing her that causes him to fall. Everything they warn him about comes true because he doesn't listen. Not that the Jedi aren't also to blame for not realizing that they need to take more care with this child who had already known his mother for nine years. His inability to control his emotions is absolutely the reason why he falls and why millions across the galaxy die by Vader's hands, but its the Jedi's fault for not properly teaching him to have that control.
