If you didn't like the Jedi, you could always just orchestrate both sides of a galactic war to kill them off. Checks and balances, like any good government.

The cash register says NRA4EVER, just one of the hundreds of radical right-wing messages inserted into the comments by random Breitbart commenters.

Just beat Fallout 2, and it turned out that the quests I ended up not bothering with were all the ones that would have stopped the wasteland from being overrun with drugs and slavery. And I think I left my companions on an exploding oil rig. Oh well.
