Star Wars Philosophy: Lies of The Acolyte

Star Wars: The Acolyte has a familiar take on good and evil when it comes to the Jedi and the Sith. In Episode 5 and 6, Qimir (The Stranger) battles a small army of Jedi, including Master Sol, Jecki, and Yord, and shares his take on morality in a galaxy far, far away. Villains in Star Wars love moral relativism. It's a common trap set for heroes like Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, and now Master Sol. Who are YOU to condemn ME?

In this video, Stephen Kent of Geeky Stoics breaks down the moral implications of The Acolyte's take on how the Jedi police the Dark Side of the Force and breaks down how this philosophy works in the real world. Buckle up for a journey through Carl Jung, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and George Lucas
