The Jedi weren't a bad organization in the least bit, the story strongly suggests though that the code they established was not necessarily all correct. Beyond this, they had grown prideful, and perhaps complacent while Sidious was hard at work developing a plan to crush themFor whatever reasons, the Jedi just were not able to see the threat of Palpatine soon enough and by the time they suspected he was a problem, it was too little too late because Palpatine had already capitalized on another huge mistake the pride of the Jedi Council had caused them; their indifference towards AnakinThe Jedi Council always had an issue fully embracing and appreciating Anakin. I think you could say some of it came from their pride. Perhaps they were inwardly jealous and resentful at his power and potential (to some extent) and so they tried to "keep him in his place" and at arms length in the name of their concern that he was essentially a problem childWell Palpatine took advantage of that. Rather than Anakin growing up with the Jedi Council seeing the best in him and serving as a mentor in the best way they could, Palpatine did this instead.Qui-Gon was not on the Jedi Council because he wouldn't commit to following their code, but nor did Qui-Gon up and leave the Jedi. Because something is imperfect doesn't make it all bad, and I think Qui-Gon saw that. Qui-Gon also realized who Anakin was, he just was killed and never had the chance to be the teacher Anakin neededDoes the story show that Qui-Gon was essentially the force user who was the most in the right on what was going on and the state of the Jedi Order?Side note: I love The Phantom Menace. I think it's the prettiest Star Wars movie via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/3eiARvc
