Wasn't a Jedi. By the bye, where on this council will those of us who favor the DARK SIDE sit? For "Only a SITH speaks in absolutes", and only a JEDI [and a liberal] traffics in nuance.
Agreed. The Jedi were arrogant ("if we don't know of this planet, it doesn't exist"), lawless (attempting to assassinate the legally elected Chancellor), and ineffective (*failing* to assassinate the Chancellor when it was 4 against 1). I'll take a ruler who openly wields power rather than a gang of unaccountable vigilantes.
