For 25,000 years, the Galactic Republic stood as a beacon of democracy, but its eventual collapse wasn't just the work of the Sith—it was an inside job. In this episode of Acceptable Losses, DK, Kirioth, and PancreasNoWork join the table to break down how the Republic and the Jedi Order effectively orchestrated their own doom. We dive deep into the extreme disarmament of the Ruusan Reformations, how the Senate abandoned the Outer Rim to pirates, and how corporate entities literally bought their way into galactic politics. We also explore the Jedi's catastrophic fall from grace—transforming from mystical peacekeepers into corrupt political lackeys who rubber-stamped war crimes and directly created villains like General Grievous. By the time Order 66 was issued, the Republic had already become an oppressive war machine. Turns out, when it came to blindly enforcing the will of a corrupt Senate, the Jedi were just following orders.
