What % of jedi

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

Have to get prosthetic hand

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Those with daddy issues.

Why would they need one if they can just move stuff with teh force?

[L1qu1dator]

Those who didn't manage to get the high ground.

[Bathtub Shitter]

in the movies? not very many unless your last name is Skywalker. hardly any others have actually fought directly with what's left of the Sith.

In other media where there's constant sith vrs jedi battles i'd say like maybe 15%? but i'm not a starwars scholar so i can't really say for certain.

Tenel Ka is mai waifu. She's so badass, she refused one.

It's heartbreaking how things later went between her and Jacen. Probably my favorite moment in the timeline is him comforting her after her accident.

And, as always, ♥♥♥♥ Disneywars.

[Xautos]

Those with daddy issues.
Those with mother issues.
Those hung up about the death of their spouse in force related premonitions.
Those who have a master who say they have the high ground and call them brother.
Those who will eventually claim they are the parent of their offspring after meeting them for the first time and in combat.

Why do they even use lightsabers, why don’t they just smash people into the floor or knock them out.

Star Wars is for children. Andor was the only great content

[ℭycaleo]

Star Wars books were written by different authors, so there are few in total.

They can and do if the other side isn't strong in Force...

Well, it's a little known fact that once they become a true Jedi, they must make a choice. This is why you may have only seen a couple that had prosthetic limbs.

[Dr. Weird]

Lightsabers are dangerous. They'll cut you wide open.

Fun fact, but losing limbs can weaken your connection to the Force.
And because opposable thumbs are still useful regardless.

The force moves things, but from what I have seen not very delicately, and it mostly just zips stuff to the hand or levitates people into a choke hold. The force also doesn't have the finite manipulation of fingers.

First, they use light sabers to deflect blaster shots. Even if you're crushing somebody to the floor into a bloody mess like a hydraulic press they can likely get a good shot in at you. Second, when your foe is another force user, who's to say they can't just release themselves from it?

Also, Palatine didn't bother with a light saber, or at least not in Return of the Jedi. He just used force lightning.

After centures of refinement, specialized training programs, careful instruction and safety awareness, and even instructors who use subtle mind tricks to discourage trainess from accidental self harm,

there's still a 10% amputation rate for any given jedi. if not a hand or an ear or an antennae or what-have-you, then some other sensitive part.

this is only 5% higher than the crippling self-injury rate among regular single-edge swordsmen, or 3% highger for double-edged swords.

It's important to note that Luke's injury is essentially a result of his unresolved feelings, and according to Forceonomics that means he had a hand in it. Thus why Kenobi meditates before facing Dath Maul, an expert in Force-based swordsmanship.
