Come to think of it, the Jedi are kinda dicks, they prevented anakin becoming a master despite his obvious talented skills in saber combat and his power in the force.

Not to mention, lore wise they let mundi have relations with his family where as it would've been a kick out for anakin.

Lastly, the jedi were sorta arrogant for thinking that nothing was wrong or that they were perfect despite having literal counterarguments from rebellious masters, Qui Gonn being a good example of somebody smelling the bullshit that the jedi were involved in.

So my fellow sith lords and jedi knights, what say you?

The Jedi weren't "good" they were the absent of evil and that will never be enough for a just society because evil will exploit it eventually.

Yeah the point of the prequels was that they weren't innocent. They had grown complacent, and solely focused on tradition instead of thinking about the actual Jedi values. Anakin was right, but didn't know the way to fix it and instead followed the sith.

He didn't follow the Sith so much reject the Jedi as not good so went down the only path to gain power to do the greatest good he could think of: save Padme

Like, there's obviously real world parrells, but when the "good" option actively prevents people from doing good in the pursuit of perfect balance, some people will go to the side that doesn't care how you use your own personal power. Because you can rationalize that it won't corrupt you.

What 'good' was he actually trying to do? Padme was in no actual danger, he just had dreams about her dying. A desire to force someone to live beyond their natural life through any possible means and despite all negative consequences is not 'good'. There is no universe where murdering dozens of children is ok because he might be able to save his wife from something bad that might happen to her at some future point.
