The Jedi Council should be Disbanded

Let's begin: (1) "Dictate vs Guidance" My opponent seems to be confused if the Council dictates to or guides the Jedi. Earlier, I stated that the Jedi Code must have qualified individuals to lead the Jedi vision, but the qualification depends on works and not faith, therefore they are democratically elected into that position based on the experience they have from the works they have done. I had also mentioned that the Jedi will develop their own unqualified interpretations of the Jedi Code and which will lead to the creation of factions, as to who has the better understanding of the Code. Division is totally against the Jedi way, where as unity is part of the foundation that makes them Jedi; therefore taking away thing administration that holds the Jedi together, could potentially lead to a conflict of leadership. Along with division, collective dictatorship is also against all Jedi philosophy according to the movies. The only thing the Council clearly does, is offer a clear and recommended guidance for a questioning Jedi. I will offer an explanation: The Order dictates the actions of the Jedi through the Jedi Code, and the Council is the democratically elected individuals that are qualified, in the eyes of the other Jedi, to interpret that Code. I challenge you to provide one reference from the movies, where the Jedi Council intentionally decides against the Jedi Code. It is also important to note that, (even though it is not in the movies) the Jedi civil war was the result that stemmed from such an action. (2) "role of supervisor can be taken by any number of figures" Define " any number of figures". The Council is a group of twelve Jedi elected to guide the Jedi Order, so are you saying that the number of Council members needs to be expanded? (3) "Emperor can fill in such role" By the time the Palpatine becomes the Emperor, the Jedi Council is technically killed off so you can't say that he will fill in the role of supervising something he sought out to destroy. (4) "a senior Jedi master to the Padawan under his care" By "his care" you mean the Emperor. Again the Emperor could careless as to what happens to the Jedi or the Padawan. (5) "That's how they learned of the title Jedi anyway." Everyone learns the title Jedi, but not everyone is qualified to become one. (6) "You don't necessarily need another Jedi to tell a Jedi right from wrong" It's not just any Jedi, it's a group of Jedi that have been elected for the sole purpose of running the affairs of the Order and guide the adherents in the vision the Order provides. So another Jedi telling another Jedi right from wrong isn't a bad thing; but if a Jedi hears different answers to a question he has, he will veer far from the Truth that he is unqualified to interpret. (7) "religious person does something detrimental...no need for someone to tell them anything from that religion" This is so wrong on so many levels. Is there any sense for a Mormon to be told right from wrong by a Buddhist? No! Because the Mormon has to seek guidance from another Mormon that his qualified to provide interpretation on a Mormon texts. So you're basically saying that Han Solo can provide qualified and respectable advice that is on par with the Jedi Code to a Jedi as powerful as Luke...just...no. (8) "An organization run of peer 2 peer advice" In an organization, not everyone is capable of everything, therefore they are placed into ranks based on the level of commitment that they have to the Order. Positions are earned and the only way one earns this honorific position is showing that he is ready for the ensuing responsibilities. Peer 2 peer advice is a very elementary way of understanding the Code and serving Order; this type of advice-giving may exist among Jedi younglings but even then, they have a teacher to refer to if they need help understanding something. There is no way to be sure that Jedi are making the right decisions with the p2p method, because there is no superior administrative body to regulate the Jedi's actions. (9) "After all, that's how religions are for the most part" False. I am religious and that is not how things roll. (10) "You work on what you know" Then there will never be progression, if there isn't structure in the belief system you belong to. (11) "Council is too restrictive and too controlling" They have to be! In a Galaxy that is riddled with chaos, dismantling the structure of the Council in charge of spearheading the peace initiative, simply adds to the chaos and creates disunity among the Jedi. In other words, if u think the Jedi shouldn't stick in a line as you say, then you're promoting the Sith desire to spread chaos. (12) My point of mentioning the animals and such, was to show that leadership and structure exists in all things. I didn't mention them for you to analyze the example itself but rather relate it to the existence of leadership and structural command here on Earth and with the Jedi Council and the necessity of leadership. (13) "You are free to do as you please so long as you don't endanger others" But who regulates things if you do endanger people? What classifies as endangerment? Who oversees the the outcome of a trial if a Jedi were to break the law? The Council has the answer for all and dismantling it welcomes mayhem. (14) "will not hesitate to banish you if you put a toe out of line." Again, I challenge you to provide one reference from the movies, where the Jedi Council intentionally decides against the Jedi Code. (15) "Bounty hunters = selfish & if Jedi have no order they will, become bounty hunters" Therefore, Pro has proven my point that if the structure of things are taken away from the Jedi, then they will end up like the Bounty Hunters, i.e. Selfish. (16) "I would argue Boba Fett loved his father" Well his genetic alteration didn't give him much of a choice. When Jango Fett was hired to be the genetic blueprint for the Republic"s clone army, he made one request: to be given an unaltered clone that he could raise as a son. Boba Fett was that son, and through Jango, he learned the art of combat. So essentially, Jango Fett was raising himself. Boba loved his "father" because of the obvious genetic connection he felt with Jango. The fact the Boba calls Jango "father" does not prove that Jango is actually is father but rather a father figure in the raising of a specially designed clone. (17)"felt a strong connection to the cause of the Emperor" No, in fact he felt a strong connection to the Emperor's piggy bank if you know what I mean. But I will still explain that Jango Fett received a pretty penny from the Emperor for his services so he could careless for the emperors cause. Recall the battle of Geonosis, where Jango was killed while fighting against Windu. If you pay attention closely you will notice that he died among the droids, before his genetic copies even arrived. If you claim that he had a connection with the emperor, had he lived a few seconds longer to see his clones in combat, would he have changed his allegiance and fought against the Droids? I guess we'll never find out, so that leaves the explanation I provided with him being a money lover, and could careless for the Cause of the Empire. (18) Bounty Hunter by profession I never said they're evil but they are selfish. If a Bounty Hunter wasn't selfish, then money wouldn't stop him from doing good, but unfortunately it does. Boba could have easily fought against Jabba and freed Luke but he chose money over a human being, so they are selfish. (19) they too are doing what they need to do for the stability of the galaxy. They could careless what happens to the stability of the Galaxy. They care for their wallet more than a cause that could lose or win. what difference does it make? as long as their pockets are full they'll fight for anyone with coin (20) "They can still create a 'Jedi club'" What's the point of that when they already have fully functioning Council? Your turn :)
