Many movie watchers disliked The Phantom Menace because it lacked the magic of the mythology. The Trade Federation, slavery, treaty disputes, politicians, committees and hyperactive/omnipresent technology. It didn't fit with what came before. The masses revolted because the escape hatch from reality had been shut on them.
Realization 1: The practical Jedi is not recognized as a hero nor as a benefactor. The world is a frustrating and bureaucratic mess. If you do this, you will not be recognized in your own time or likely any time. You will be chastised by those who do not want to be bothered and belittled by those who do not want to know what the world really is. Your only rewards will be an internal sense that you are doing good and, if it fits with your beliefs, an avenue for practicing altruism. If this is not enough for you, don't follow this path.
