I think a thing people defending Dave Filoni's request (that we don't get so "caught up" in Ahsoka Tano's "I am no Jedi") aren't getting is... It's not only that phrase. It's DLF's current tendency of deifying the Jedi Order despite *everything* Star Wars has told about them. 
We get a whole-ass trilogy of the Jedi being hypocritical dickheads full of hubris & inhumane stances on emotions & love. If that's not enough, we get a whole-ass 7 season animated show reinforcing that point. The Last Jedi comes & exposes many of its problems & needs for change.
And all that has roots in the OT itself: Luke saves the Galaxy because he DISOBEYED the Jedi's (Obi & Yoda) instructions not to help his friends & to kill his father, & did not believe their stances that there's no way back from the Dark Side, & love dooms us to it. Remember:
Hell, even in Legends it is shown that their issues stem from millennia, creating vicious cycles for countless generations, demonstrating it's not even simply Palpatine that corrupted the Jedi Order, it's their own philosophy that dooms them.
Nonetheless, TROS comes, forgetting all those discussions & making Rey (& wanting us) to fangirl over the Jedi, with their PaNtHeOn. And if in the OT Luke saves the day *disobeying* the Jedi & saving whom he loves, now Rey is ALL THE JEDI!!1!1! & destroys what she hates.
I argue also that making Leia a Jedi is part of this trend. Yes, Leia is Force-sensitive, hints of it have been shown since the OT & in Bloodline, TLJ confirms it. But she NEVER wanted it. Her thing had always been politics. Being Jedi is not the only way to be Badass & Good.
Anyway, thing is, TROS ends with no change whatsoever in the status quo. The Jedi are the Goody Good Heroes, always have been. No need for change or reform whatsoever. Prequels? Never heard of her.
And then comes The Mandalorian. Y'know, the thing about Ahsoka is, ok, she embodies much more of what a Jedi should be than most of the Jedi Order combined. Dave isn't wrong in that. But it DOES matter that Ahsoka is NOT a Jedi. It's part of the criticism the franchise has built.
Ahsoka has been wronged by the Jedi Order (her trial was a sham, remember it). She's seen how deleterious their stances on connections & emotions can be. She saw people lose faith in the Jedi. She witnessed the Order being soldiers instead of keepers of peace.
So when Ahsoka, indeed more Jedi than most Jedi combined, rejects the label & the Order, it reinforces the criticism Star Wars had been making so far. Making her own path is one of the main reasons she's so compelling. Being Jedi is not the only way to be good or a light-sider.
So, to see her parrotting the "ATTACHMENT BAD! LOVING UR MOM MAKES U THE NEXT SPACE HITLER!" Jedi bullshit after *everything*, it feels not only like a step back for her character development - it feels like a (further) step back for the development of *the whole franchise*.
So it ends up like... What was the point? What was the lesson learned? What was the ultimate boon that Luke, Anakin, Rey, Ben, Ahsoka, or any of our heroes bestowed back to the galaxy? Surely not the redemptive power of love & compassion. After all, the Jedi were right, right?
And to see Dave Filoni, one of the few people most of us all across the Star Wars fandom still trust in DLF, saying "nah, nevermind 'I am no Jedi'"... It's like, "is there no one left there that actually understood what George Lucas himself had said was the point?".
And it almost feels like an insult to our own intelligence, tbh. Decades of reinforcing in many ways that the Jedi were wrong being now met with "the Jedi were never wrong about anything ever" feels like a blow & a reinforcement of wrong lessons & bad philosophy & moral stances.
And I'm not gonna lie: it's also disheartening af to see a growing part of the fandom buying the narrative that the Jedi are the Goody Good & were right all along. Not surprising, given it's now the stance of the franchise, but an intellectual & moral disappointment anyway. [End]
