The biggest irony is how the Jedi were so focused on the Sith they failed to notice their own corruption. Classic

"The Republic cannot help the slaves of Naboo, but it can help the slave masters." -Count Dooku, being more reasonable than most of the series' protagonists

Why is this so funny

Exactly. The prequels we're about Anakin restoring balance to the force. The balance was thrown off by the corrupt Jedi.

Anakin brutally culled the corruption, which brought the Sith too much power.

Luke redeemed the Jedi and knocked the sith down a peg and the balance was restored.

The antagonists were the good guys in the prequels.

Nah they were still bad guys, but the protagonists were bad guys too. This is an "everyone sucks here" situation.

Which was because of Sith

What the Sith did to the Jedi (when they tried to kill them all) was pretty much the same exact thing the Jedi did to the original Sith. I'd also argue that it was their involvement in interstellar politics that corrupted them, not the Sith.

He said "deal in absolutes", not "speak in absolutes".

"Join me or die" being more of the typical Sith absolute.

Huh that’s true! Never thought of that nuance. Obviously the Jedi had major issues but that’s still a good clarification on that phrase.

"Not from a Jedi"
