[both sides of that are something Leia can see the reasoning behind, even if her ultimate take on things is biased by the knowledge of what happened to the Jedi. If they hadn’t been involved, if they hadn’t been preoccupied with the Clone Wars, would the Empire have risen in the first place? Who knows.
She’s always heard stories of the Jedi as peacekeepers, coupled with tales of heroics that saved entire populations or allowed and to reach people in need. Even knowing that, obviously, the Jedi were involved in the clone wars and were ordering troops around, it’s still an image that’s hard to blend with that legacy, in her mind.]

The role I have in the Alliance isn’t one I was ever meant to have in the beginning. It isn’t the same situation at all, but it’s not very Alderaanian of me to give those orders, either.
