    What do you think a “peacekeeper” is? For reference, this is one of the first results I got when I searched the web for “UN peacekeeper”.

    George Lucas clearly intended the Jedi to be wrong. Side-stepping a debate about the morality of their texual actions, they are narratively put on the “wrong” role. The whole arc of the third (sixth) movie is how Luke proves Yoda wrong that love and attachment lead to a fall to the dark side, with the tension coming from the audience’s credence in Yoda’s statement. And the prophecy that Anakin brings balance to the Force is fulfilled when he reduces the number of Jedi to equal the number of Sith (2) and later the number of Sith to equal the number of Jedi (0), implying the Jedi temple as an institution was unbalanced and the best number of Jedi (and Sith) is zero.
