Question about ICC

[Ivo Skoric]

Once upon a time there was a peaceful republic that spanned over 
a dozen galaxies. The society was so advanced that prospects of 
being thrown to the battle appealed to none but a bunch of 
adrenaline junkies, called Jedi knights, who were trained to be the 
Zen-like protectors of the republic's realm. The regular standing 
army was, reluctantly, built from clones. However, the citizens, 
even Jedis, were all too human, with all the fallacies that acompany 
that cathegorization.

At some point, a young and hopeful Jedi, Eneken Skywalker, in a 
flash of rage, committed a horrible war crime, by massacring 
everybody, elderly, women and children included, in a small village, 
where his mother was tortured and ultimately died in his hands. 
Despite that Master Yoda saw everything telepathically, the Jedi 
Council did nothing to discipline young Skywalker.

Later in his life he became Ratko Mladic of his time: the dreaded 
Lord Vader, who, among other horendous crimes against humanity, 
was responsible for blasting the entire planet inhabited by an old 
civilization of intelligent, sentient beings, out of the Universe, with 
an ultimate weapon of mass destruction, also known as the Death 
Star.

My question to the list is: could that later atrocity be prevented 
should the measures against Eneken had been taken by the Jedi 
Council, or some other judicial body of the Republic, after he 
committed the crime against humanity as a young Jedi apprentice? 
Maybe Master Yoda could have swayed him from the dark side 
that was overtaking him? 

Or maybe they could stop his training, preventing him of acquiring 
larger and deeper control of the Force before he turns it against 
them? Could they have benefited from a judicial body outside of the 
Republic, which could have observed the developments from a 
more objective perspective, in saving them from their own by the 
dark side clouded minds?
