I mean I like the sound of it. It has dramatic gravitas behind it but it doesn't make any sense.

It's pretty obviously hypocritical, but that could be seen as the point, given that one of the biggest problems the Jedi Order had was that they were so far up their own self-righteous ass that they couldn't see that they were resembling the Sith in many ways. But then that would be suggesting that the PT had any sort of narrative subtlety, which is questionable.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

Hmmm suddenly Yoda sounds like a sith then.

Give him what he wants then take what you want. Nobody is more vulnerable than in their moment of victory when you know whatever you do he will never let you go

I mean, the current Jedi council was much closer to Siths than actual Jedis. I mean they werent even on the Jedi side of the spectrum.

They did admit they were straying.

The hypocrisy and the fall of the Jedi is probably the most interesting part of the PT for me. Anakin's character is a mess but at least acting as a catalyst and a cynic towards the Jedi's negative aspects was interesting.

It mostly just highlights the lack of clarity on what the sith are and are not, in addition to being hypocritical.

The total collapse of the Jedi order and a couple decades of solitude presumably convinced him to stop seeing things so dichotomously.

They have laws which are absolute. So that's dumb.

Lucas is honestly a bad writer. For all that everyone else always sees the contradiction in that line, it's pretty obvious that Lucas himself didn't, and he never saw it as subtle social commentary as much as he took it all entirely at face value.
