Seriously. And how the forget did Yoda not miss that entire conspiracy?
I'm referring to a Maddox comment:

i see what youre saying but the only reason that the jedi 'missed' this was due to the need for conflict in the movie; blame George Lucas, not the jedi.
Exactly! Pirates win by ability to further their population. Also, did the republic not destroy the jedi with a bunch of clones with guns?
Jedi recruit people, like a religion/cult.
and the Jedi didnt catch the whole guns thing because most of them had not completely mastered the force, and therefore could not catch the nervousness of the sender of the message. the clones had little to no emotion when given the order, and the jedi were never told what the code meant, so when they overheard the order they probably figured that it was like all the other basic orders.
