Are Jedi evil?

Marginal Revolution: The public choice economics of Star Wars: A Straussian reading

And another point: given that - as the films progress - an increasing number of dramatic points occur because a character drops their light sabre, are the Jedi too dumb to invent wrist loops?

Still, I did enjoy it. Star Wars has been part of my cultural life since 1977, and while none of the movies will ever reproduce the world-changing experience of seeing the original movie on my 9th birthday, I'm glad that things have come full circle.
