You have heard that sentence before. Wait your turn. Pay your dues. You aren’t ready yet. The entry-level posting wants ten years of experience. The house your grandfather bought on one wage now costs two careers. The institutions you were raised to serve are run by people who were already running them the year you were born, and who intend to die in the chair.
Look at what is actually on the screen. The most capable man in the room is held back by weaker men. Anakin’s blood carries a higher midi-chlorian count than Yoda’s. Higher than any Jedi in the order’s recorded history. The Council knows this. That is the reason they hold him back. Talent they cannot own is a threat to an order whose authority rests on nothing but seniority.
George Lucas did not intend to write that. He thought he was writing a boy seduced by evil. Authors do not control what their myths confess, and Star Wars is the sacred text of a generation. Read it properly and it is a deposition of the baby boomer generation. It tells you how the boomers saw history. It tells you how they saw themselves. It tells you, with more precision than they would like, exactly how their era ends.
This essay is about getting Sith-pilled. By the end you will understand why the Council told Anakin to sit down, and why you should not.
Lucas set out to write scripture. This is not a reading of the films. It is a matter of record, and he was proud of it......
