The Most Incompetent Leader in the History of Cinema

Pretty sure it’s this guy… Let’s review his resume, shall we? 1. Presides over the complete and utter collapse of the Jedi order (with remarkable speed and thoroughness) At the beginning of the PT, the Jedi order is essentially at their zenith of power and influence. I’m not sure how many they actually are – I’d guess they number somewhere in the triple digits. And this force of a few hundred people represents the complete and entire security force for the whole Republic (note that at the beginning of the story – the Republic has no standing army whatsoever, the Jedi are tasked with handling any and all threats). They are highly respected and esteemed, with their reputation for discipline, morality, and heroic achievement reaching even to actual slaves on non-Republic worlds in the outer rim (child slave Anakin is familiar with the Jedi and their traditions and reputation, despite being in circumstances which should make him among the galaxy’s most ignorant people).
