The past" sort of feeling that means we're spending time doing the "remember that thing that's not a thing yet" and a romantic view of the Jedi that was, even before the Clone Wars and the dusk of the Original Republic.

        Even if there are a hundred thousand Jedi, is it really that many in a galaxy of trillions? That always kind of bugged me about the setting, along with how secret were the Jedi if they were keeping the peace for a thousand generations, and just how peaceful that peace was.
