Sol turning into a blubbering idiot and admitting that he was responsible for everything was a bit much. The witch mother did turn into evil looking fog and then seemed to attack or suck the life out of one of the children before they killed her. That's a pretty reasonable reaction. Master Torbin taking a vow of silence over that incident? If that's all it takes to force a Jedi to require a decades long vow of silence, in their prime, to atone, they aren't going to get very far in their role as protectors. I mean the witches did earlier mind control him. That's hardly the act of benevolent group of people.

Am I way off here? I just don't see how what the Jedi did was so bad. They give the two girls, who are clearly being used as child soldiers or at the very least pawns, by the witches, the options to leave. One of them chooses to leave. The witches resist this and turn into a fog monster, meanwhile there's all sorts of confusion because Osha has lit the place on fire and there's zero fire control precautions. In that confusion, the supposedly not evil witch mother gets killed.

And surely there must have been a cleaner way for Rwoh to deal with the whole thing, than what she did. It was as though she was purposely going out of her way to act corruptly without any need to do so. It's a galaxy of trillions of people, where genocides of entire planets happen on the regular and there's all sorts of major mafias enslaving entire planets. Surely, this accidental witch killing can't be that big of a deal. Can't they just write a police report, mentioning the witch turning into an evil looking fog monster.

We're also talking about Jedi. Obi Wan, in TOS, seemed to pull out his light sabre at the drop of a hat and dismember people. Now, the death of one questionably evil witch is causing all this disarray?

It would be best if you didn't try to frame the show within the context of Star Wars.

The writers certainly didn't.
