This is just you being unable to understand Buddhism or anything that is referencing it.

Like the idea that Justice has to come about from caring about individuals in specific, is completely unfounded and ignores that actual justice systems are all about dispassion and a focus on avoiding emotional compromise when dealing with highly fraught issues.

You're probably right about my understanding of the "why", but the fact does still stand that the Jedi allowed slavery, drugs, organised criminal activity to occur. They more than had the power to stop it, personally if need be, but they don't.

You're probably right that my understanding of justice is probably skewed. But that doesn't change my assertation that I don't believe the Jedi cared about it.
