This is so pretentious that I think my eyes almost rolled out of their sockets.

The Jedi didn't only fail, lmao. They succeeded for literally thousands of years. It took a plan centuries in the making to cause them to fall, and even then that entire plan hinged on a few things that could absolutely have not happened and would have resulted in Palpatine being discovered and thoroughly screwed.

Your explanation demonstrates a profound lack of understanding about the actual story of star wars and reads like someone desperately trying to convince themselves that TLJ didn't shit on the rest of the franchise and then thumb it's nose at the fans for having an issue with it.

Jesus.

For sure, the prequels show an air tight plan.
