Star Wars: The Acolyte official trailer

They also don't recognize how, as the Clone Wars proceed, Anakin has become the first Jedi Superstar in at least 1000 years and he has, just as a sports superstar does, acquired a certain degree of leverage he can deploy against the team. He ultimately uses this by demanding to be made a Jedi Master. Is this childish, entitled, and petulant? Oh yeah, it certainly is, but the Council handles it very badly because they don't understand what they have created.

This is true, although I would note that Clone Wars implies that a lot of younger Jedi are turning out like Anakin because of the stresses the war is putting on the order and their ability to actually train their students.

We have a situation in which the Jedi diagnose the threat correctly, they react with all available force, and yet their response is utterly pathetic in its ability to handle the threat. The First Battle of Geonosis in AotC makes the Jedi Order look worthless. And if you scale up it gets worse. 10,000 droids are nothing, even on the scale of a single planet (that's a smaller force than the active military of Denmark). If 2% of the Jedi Order can't deal with that kind of threat, how can they possibly defend the Republic? Any attempt to evaluate the incident just makes the Order look almost ludicrously weak.

The Jedi on their own are not an army. They're diplomats, commanders and elite fighters that are best deployed embedded within a conventional army. In the past, they probably would have had Yoda mobilize levies from nearby republic planets (This happens in Clone Wars in the Water Wars arc when they need to call on the Gungans to reinforce a key front because they just don't have enough clone divisions outfitted for underwater combat) instead of running down to the shop to pick up the anonymously gifted slave army, but they were probably always going to bring an army in.
