It is not your job to pass moral judgment on other cultures. Damagran has a culutre where Jedi do not keep the peace. By the Code you must respect that.
And yerssot, you are entirely wrong. The Jedi SERVE the Republic. They are SERVANTS. Effectively, the Republic does indeed own you.

No, the Jedi serve the Republic in keeping peace. As GL says, they are based on Federal Marshalls of the old west. They can be ordered by the Republic to do things.
Where? All over the bloody place, yerss. That's Odan-Urr's most controversial statement because some read it to mean that a Jedi can do no wrong.

Well, I can tell you now, if you seriously think that you do not serve the Republic and are a law unto yourself you are no Jedi in my game. That makes you a Renegade.

we DO serve them but the jedis first task is to help the innocent THEN the Republic and since you are refering to EU things... read "The Stark Hyperspace Wars", in that Plo Koon literally says that the supreme chancellor asked them to help
Well, GL's thing about them being Federal Marshalls clearly makes them serving the Republic, yerss, and that is that.
And you are NOT above the law, yerss. Your job is to protect the innocent BY defending the Republic. That is your primary concern. The Jedi Order is not presumptive enough to think that it has the right to dictate terms on the Galaxy. It is GIVEN authority, it does not take it, and the Jedi would not be stood for any other way.
BTW, I happily accept the Jedi Code as given in the EU.

Looking through this interesting thread there is a question that I'd really like to know your views on.
At the start of Ush's second story the Jedi Council instructed the Lightsiders not to interfere with the war on Damogran. Without getting into arguments about whether you should follow the Council or follow your heart what are people's views on why the Council decided not to interfere? Do you think Mace, Yoda and that guy with the binary brain just followed the Republic's lead or do you think they had their own reasons why they thought you should not get involved.
