Things I learned from the Prequels about the Force

[Kurgan]

Precisely, so in a sense the Jedi interpretation is really just rationalization, not a strict ROE. I've often taken it that way myself, while others have taken it more like Luke's actions at the end of ROTJ are standard Jedi operating procedure. It's much harder to do that latter inpretation now that the prequels are out, unless the Jedi all just went into a downward spiral of hypocrisy during the prequel trilogy.
