One thing I appreciate star wars for always showing consistently is that 95% of all Jedi can't help but be good.
Like this isn't a matter of just being a good person or being trained to be a good person. They literally cannot help but be compassionate and caring. Even when they are doing wrong things, like in acolyte, it is still out of good intentions. It was a huge misunderstanding of course, but they just want everything to be good, which is an unrealistic goal and sometimes that results in bad things because of point of views.
But I can appreciate the fact that not a single fucking Jedi in the entirety of star wars wasn't good when presented with the opportunity. (Pong krell does not count and he can suck my dick) They simply couldn't help it, as the grand inquisitor says in Kenobi. The smart thing would be to not be involved, but even when they are being ACTIVELY HUNTED, They cannot stop themselves from butting in and helping others. Obi wan tried , but ended up helping, Cal tried to hide, ended up exposing himself to save someone, Ezra and Kanan, Ahsoka, Quinlan voss, and these are just the main people , who knows how many other survivors tried to help and ended up sacrificing themselves just so like 3-4 innocents could live. They didn't do anything on a grand scale, but those little acts of kindness probably helped hope from dying out completely.
The Jedi are the literal embodiment of hope and goodness and I fucking love that. Despite everything, and all the defamation palpatine did, the people still considered Jedi good.
Like you know shit is bad when even the criminals are like "the empire is had for business, the Jedi were better"
And i appreciate it. The galaxy is a harsh place, and so is the real world. So it's wonderful seeing a faction that is just good. Sure they made mistakes with Anakin and some other times but like that's upto the people imo, not them as a whole. Where there is pong krell, there is also mace windu, there is also obi wan and Yoda .
And I appreciate them for showing this consistently. Do they make mistakes, yes everyone does. But they were completely finessed by palpatine into losing their way and they STILL managed to do their best.
I am a proud Jedi sympathiser and will probably be executed for that in the empire.

Something else I really liked in Survivor was Merrins implied yet very effective off-screen growth. It’s a very interesting foil to Cal that she, also, survived a genocide and spent her life alone, grieving, wondering if things could ever change but accepting they likely wouldn’t. But hope found her and changed her. It makes sense then that after experiencing family again she would decide to go back to solitude to understand who she truly is, having then experienced loneliness and love in equal measure to become the most measured version of herself. Merrin, mentally, is implied and shown to be resilient in that way while Cal desperately isn’t.
Fallen order is riddled with Cal’s loneliness and desperation for family, a group to understand him again. While never said as much and definitely never implied it’s always been a parallel between survived Jedi and Inquisitors that while Jedi kept who they were they lost the connection and family the force offered within the Order. Inquisitors became the worst versions of themselves and their beliefs, but they still had something.
It felt like a cop-out initially to have Merrin grow so much off-screen, but it deeply compliments our introduction to Cal in Survivor who went from forming a family to being alone again and is deeply disturbed by it. He’s not built to be alone, not built to wander - and Merrin sees and understands that more than anyone because she *could* be solitary yet chooses not too. She chooses Cal and chooses family.

A few WIPs and sketches/doodles of Mandos and clones
EU Mandos featured: Jaster Mereel (Jango Fett’s adoptive father and Mand’alor of the True Mandalorians), Mirta Gev (Boba Fett’s granddaughter), & Goran Beviin (Mand’alor Boba Fett’s best friend, second-in-command, and one half of the first explicitly gay couple in Star Wars literature)
