In this society's history, human beings where for a very large portion of time unequal. Those with money could afford the requirements of war such as horses and planes, and would almost always defeat the untried and poorly equipped lower classes brought against them.
Indeed it was only with the invention of repeating blaster technology, the battlefield took on a semblance of equality.
With the industrialization of warfare that followed, no one person could hold the same influence in times of war as before. Even in a tactical sense, the new emphasis on squad initiative as exemplified by the Mandalorian successes.
The result of which was a period of great upheaval in which many facets of the old order was destroyed or subverted to create a new balance of power between people and the state. The absolutism of ages past was impossible now that all armed citizenry could take out most advanced trooper with 1 blaster shot.
With the addition of a liberal democracy to stem the tide against mob rule, society embarked on a period of great stability only hampered by extra-national threats or the citizen indifference to decay.
But once again, we see the elitism of combat has created a society suffering from rampant rebellion, revolution, and chaos. Before the Jedi, we had a government that lasted millenia. With them we have barely maintained the trappings of cooperation. I am speaking, of course, about the Force users.
Consider, the greatest destructive force our modern Galaxy has has always been the Sith, and almost all Sith recieve followers if not training from the Jedi temples (in part why there destruction was such a high priority). The Jedi themselves serve to undermine the authority of police forces and instil an unproper sense of rebellion in the populations they interact with.
Simply put, force sensitives are walking timebombs, each capable of destroying entire worlds through coercion and individual superiority. Once they have corrupted a system and dozens of soldiers are unable to be brought against them simultaneously, the only way to dislodge them is with another, more powerful Jedi.
If we simply banned those with any proclivity for force ability from holding positions of authority, and executed those who still existed with knowledge of the Force, our democracy would not suffer such ravages.
Yes, rogue force sensitives would exist, but without training and no way to obtain serious galatic power, the system can deal with them as it deals with other more mundane threats.
Order 66 was brilliantly executed, but we cannot count on the same level of suprise in future encounters, and must organize a comprehensive task force to hunt down and kill those who've escaped. It is with great hope we impart this auspicious goal to you, the citizenry, for we must ask for assistance in completing this grand venture so long in coming.
We implore those with knowledge of Jedi activity to please report them to your local magistrate. Search out the strange and discover if it is Force-based. Do not let a stone go unturned. We cannot underemphasis the risks if these individuals are not brought to justice.
