On top of everything else, the post is supposed to be kinda funny. It points out that through Lucas's horrible writing the once-great Jedi have been downgraded to (for the most part) a bunch of whiny losers who can't tell Palpatine is evil when evil oozes from his very being. Read some of the "reasons to hate" written by this site's creator and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Isn't it weird that I thought you would come back with a response like this? Isn't it weird that most sane people believe that the only reason the Jedi have been down graded to a bunch of whiny loosers who can't tell tha Palpatine is evil, is simply an unbelievable plot line on Lucas' behalf? Isn't it weird that I have read reasons to hate written by this sites creator and know what you are talking about, the difference here though, is that I am not prepared to be manipulated into believing that the Jedi are a bunch of nazi facists.

Also, the "us" the original author spoke of was just fictional "people in general"--which was pretty self-evident. But if you want to play stupid games, it was Lucas who put Steven Spielberg's ET in Attack of the Clones...so, you could say that Earth exists within the Star Wars universe. Hence, the Jedi can not protect "us."
If you are going to summarise another author's work, then make it clear that the us referred to in your summary, are fictional people in general or you will be misunderstood. Isn't it weird though that Lucas putting ET in Phantom Menace not Attack of the Clones, was what drew most of the fire from Star Wars fans, because Lucas was betraying fantasy boundaries? Isn't it weird then that nearly all Star Wars fans would agreed that it is absolutely ridiculous that earth exists in the Star Wars universe and would consider that you need locking up in a mental asylum if you expect fictional characters to protect you?

It's not my fault that the Sith have become ten times cooler than the Jedi...blame Lucas. After seeing these new flicks I'd turn to the dark side in a heartbeat.
It is your fault if you now believe the Sith to be 10 times cooler than the Jedi because you have fallen for Lucas' dark side trap. Personally, I can't get worked up over a bunch of people who think it okay to kill kids, force choke their pregnant wives, enslave a galazy, destroy planets, murder billions of innocent non force users ...
