>how can people deny that Jedis existed?
Oh I dunno maybe Because the only people who saw them fight are clones who rapidly aged and died and droids who got shut downed and destroyed. Other than that and a small few who if they told others would just get called crazy. The galaxy is massive. Also they don't have Internet like we do. Imagine 2015 no internet

>They travel all around the universe
Yeah, sure.
>>62766479
What about the populace of Courscant that saw the temple as children/young adults, tourists who visited the temple and the countless people who saw it on the way to the seat of the republic senate?
As the center of galactic politics it seems unlikely that people would miss it
>>62766515
There were 10k Jedi in a galaxy of 100 quadrillion people. You only think they're common because they're the focus of the prequels
>>62766479
>>how can people deny that Jedis existed?
For the same reason Chewie doesn't believe in the force despite hanging out with Yoda.
Because the prequels were a retcon, and George didn't care enough to make sure the timeline between the two works.
Fuck you and your stupid shit, prequel apologist.
>>62766545
>Guys jumping on cars and using other magic stuff
>LIGHT FUCKING SABRES
>Jedi
>Who?
>>62766539
Coruscant had 100 billion people on it. And even if they saw the temple, it's not like it was open for tourists
>>62766479
>Oh I dunno maybe Because
how to spot a redditor
>>62766586
Yout understand that anyone who saw that car chase made up maybe .0000001 percent of Coruscant's population? Even the huge battle in the skies of Coruscant was nothing to the people on the ground. Life continued as normal.
Like I said, you just can't wrap you head around how BIG a galaxy is. It'd be so easy for the empire to pass off the jedi as a crazy religious cult when there were only ten thousand of them.
>>62766515
No Internet makes sense tho. There is no way for information to travel other than word of mouth. Sure as hell sounds like once you wipe out a large following of a religious cult your not gunna find much info on them
>>62766595
Even if it wasn't open, they'd probably be told in the hovertram tour
"And here is the temple of the Jedi, an order of monks who wield fantastic blades of light! Some claim they have a hidden power, but whether it's true is up to you! Moving on to the senate..."
It is a place of note despite it being mysterious or something
even then, you'd have to erase a lot of history of the clone wars, as the jedi were used as generals and shit
>>62766685
Yes, and the Empire paints the jedi as a crazy cult with no actual power, 99 percent of the population never saw the jedi so no one questions it
And as I said with the battle of Coruscant example, the war was something happening completely outside most people's daily routine. It'd be easy to make up whatever history suited the Empire
>>62766668
>>62766675
But jedi kids.
They searching for them in different worlds and telling parents everything.
Fuck, you wont forget your encounter with a wizard or spiderman and tell this story to everyone.
There were 10,000 Jedi in the galaxy at the absolute height of their power
There were hundreds of billions of planets in the Star Wars galaxy
Each containing billions of people over hundreds of countries
How likely is it that any one person would have ever seen a Jedi, or know what a Jedi was?
>>62766720
If some guy goes up to you saying he saw a UFO or a guy walking on water in 2015 with no real proof other than just seeing it would you believe him? Even if there were others who said they also saw it? (Kinda like UFOs)
>>62766718
>Empire paints the jedi as a crazy cult with no actual power
It is been like 20 years, it's nothing for something so big to forget.
People still remembering about crazy japs cultists.
>>62766508
>>62766754
>There were hundreds of billions of planets in the Star Wars galaxy
>There were 10,000 Jedi in the galaxy at the absolute height of their power
basically the Jedi were shit and there is no reason to have a story about them. they couldn't even advocate for themselves effectively.
>>62766720
There were only TEN THOUSAND jedi for the last fucking time. There was no way they screened every single child in the galaxy. Anakin slipped through the cracks. And even if they did, no one doubted the existence of the organization. They doubted the legitimacy of their powers. It's not like the jedi who screened kids (if it was even the jedi themselves that screened kids and not another organization) would be flashing his saber around and lifting up spaceships as a parlor trick.
>>62766718
>jedi confirmed knights templar
>>62766754
I don't know, maybe because a little brat on the planetary equivalent of fucking nowhere knew instantly what Jedi were?
Or because their attack on Sheev was the reason he got into power?
Imagine you're a shareholder in a weapons manufacturing company, let's call them Schmolt, and a rival conglomerate has stolen your plans for a brand new groundbreaking type of handgun
For some reason your boss has a guy in a horned helmet with a big beard following him
You're at a board meeting and you're all panicking over what the rival conglomerate could make with the new handgun plans, when the bearded guy chimes in with "GUNS ARE STUPID TO REALLY KILL SOMEONE YOU HAVE TO TRUST IN THE POWER OF THOR"
How would you react?
>>62766795
>Or because their attack on Sheev was the reason he got into power?
Holy shit, this.
Sheev, why are you so ugly? Jedis do that. Shown on every intergalactics tvs.
20 years later.
>Jedis
>Who?
>>62766810
>proceeds to smite rivals with divine lightning
nice
>>62766810
Also, thor and his warrior existed in your lifetime.
>>62766841
Do you understand how big a galaxy is
There were 10,000 Jedi and hundreds of trillions of regular joes spread across billions of planets
>>62766859
I'm sure their existence was very low-key and obscure, that's why they had a giant temple on the capital planet where they were openly training Jedi and were heavily involved in galactic politics.
>>62766878
Maybe JedI were like a farytale you tell your slave kid about so he'll go to sleep before the jewbug has his way with you in the other room.
>>62766479
What part of a long time ago in a galaxy far far away do you not fucking understand?
It was a long time ago. Not 2015.
>>62766479
>they don't have Internet like we do
What explains this retardation? Flesh and blood can travel to other star systems but not information in any form?
It's interesting, jedi deniers in the star wars universe are probably the equivalent of white genocide / zionism deniers in our world
>>62767023
>What explains this retardation?
1977
Maybe Sheev used his mental clouding shit again, but on a galactic scale?>unlimited powah
This thread is now about vadar choking dumb assholes:

>>62767023
there's literally no excuse for it in-universe, as transmissions are stated to exist.
the whole first movie is actually bullshit because there was no reason not to just beam a million copies of the Deathstar Plans in every direction.
but what are you gonna do, eh?
>>62766957
you do realize the entire fucking planet is one giant city right, no one would give a shit about some big temple
>>62767099
>some big temple
With wizards, yeah.
Nothing interesting to see here.
What exactly stopped the Jedi from contacting any, if not all, the Galactic Senate members about the apparent Jedi genocide going on? I get going into hiding, but that doesn't mean they can't relay a message to them.
Hell, what exactly stopped the Senate from wondering where the fuck did they all go? Why is the main Jedi HQ suddenly empty except for all the dead children?
>>62767114
obviously not since even outside shots of the jedi templ have hardly any speeders flying past compared to anywhere else shown
star wars episode 7 was literally the worst thing to happen to this site
>>62767154
No.
/tv/ was the worst thing to happen to this site.
>>62767138
There is no more Senate once Sheev was granted emergency powers
>>62767154
it's the worst thing to happen to Western "culture" since the capeshit boom started.
>>62767185
Doesn't mean they all suddenly vanish.
>>62767185
No, there was a senate. It wasn't disolved until EpIV. Vader mentions it near the beggining I think.
>>62766859
The officer was probably old enough to be in the clone wars, so he would know what a jedi was.
>>62767138
Order 66 wasn't a secret, and they did get help from at least one Senator.
