Krell is taller than Obi-Wan, and therefore has the high ground, making Obi-Wan's judgment clouded.

Krell probably clouded Obi-Wan's mind after making him a delicious breakfast.

Krell turned because Obi kept trying to hug him and called him "Skinny Dex".

Din Djarin: Don’t talk to me or my frog thing ever again

Krell: Wanna buy some death sticks? Obi-Wan: Yes

I feel like this quote best describes why no one really saw Krell's treachery coming: "Statement: Overwhelming odds is also a good tactic, master. There are few Jedi that can long hold their ground against a hundred attackers all firing at once... or being turned on by their own troops. But the most effective weapon against Jedi seems to be the erosion of the spirit." - HK-47.

Considering that the Dark Side clouded the vision of the Jedi High Council. The fact the most powerful of the Jedi couldn’t even consider that the Dark Lord of the Sith was literally right next door show you that the Jedi were losing their ability in the force. The Jedi were powerful during the time of the Old Republic’s, but by the time of the Clone Wars many Jedi were shadows of former themselves. The Dark Side shadow was vast and dark and the time for the Sith Revenge will be completed.

I was confused as to why all the comments were so recent. Then I realized the video was uploaded 37 minutes ago

Obi-Wan couldn't even sense Anakin falling to the dark side, let alone a dude he barely interacted with haha

It’s amazing how the Jedi didn’t sense Barriss’ fall to the dark side too.

To quote the 501st journal from the 2008 Battlefront 2 "Mygeeto was something of a revelation for the men of the 501st. We realized the Jedi could be fooled, if the Jedi could be fooled, they could be killed"

I don't think it was that Jedi were unable to detect those who had fallen to the dark side, but that they refused to actively probe for those who had fallen. A dark side user, while attempting to hide their identity, logically, would suppress any outward emanations of dark side powers until the time was right, thus requiring light siders to actively probe the thoughts of those around them to find those who had fallen to the dark side. Yet for light siders, running around reading everyone's mind would be wrong, because doing so is a fundamental violation of a person's privacy... It just wouldn't be the Jedi way. It's a catch-22 situation. Ok... now let me finish the video and see if you come to a similar conclusion.

I love how the Clones confronting Krell was, I think, a parallel to the Jedi confronting Palpatine, Krell even says, "It is treason then," the same way Palpatine did.

Obi Wan had his senses preoccupied...he was daydreaming about the time him and Satine shared a tent. 😏

Their ability to use the force has diminished. Yarrell Poof: Who can't use the force? I can still use the force! Is anyone noticing that I'm talking?

To be honest if some of the other jedi had known what the purpose of the clone was they too would have hated the clones as much as krell

Another question: why weren't there, like, 100 Krells? The Clone Wars were full of all kinds of temptation for Jedi to fall to selfishness. Palpatine could/should have had a small army of newly fallen Jedi.

Kenobi is always too busy having another happy landing

You forgot about a theory Jedi Temple in Coruscant was built on top of a sith Temple clouding the Jedi from detecting the Sith also

Anyone else notice that several of Geetsly's videos are about Krell. It just comes to show just how important he is and a prime example of why some future events happen as they are, or just how even the deepest of details and the force works. It's really interesting.

"The revelation that krell was a traitor at the end of the arc wasn't all that surprising." 10 year old me at the revelation: : 0

I would like to add that the Jedi hasn’t fought a sith for quite some time. The only one that would have had a chance to fight the sith is Yoda due to his long life. But the sith were presumed to be wiped out and like you said, were used to peace.

6:29 Why does Yoda look like a chair lol

If you noticed, every time Palpatine suggested something, Yoda would look at him with disdain and mistrust. I think Yoda suspected Palpatine as Sidious way before he outed as a Sith

"there's always something to learn even for a master" - Sifu, Kung Fu Panda

How can you hate Grogu?! He’s my favorite

Krell is one of the most badass but scumbag of any Jedi, he's like darth maul x Dexter jetser and that is hella badass

A better question is, why is any Jedi terrible at sensing Pong Krell?

Video Idea: What if Obi-wan took on another apprentice after Anakin. How could the storyline have changed?

He won a game of Ping Pong against Obi-Wan.

"I think it's time we alert the senate that our ability to use the force has diminished" The clone wars were super deep.

I wish they showed more Jedi turning to the dark side in tcw, like dooku’s little gang he put together of defecting Jedi

I literally never even thought of this until the video. Never putting the 2 pieces together & when I saw the title I was like “Yeah???? WHY DIDN’T HE?!?”

I thought Yoda was hidden from Palpatine by living near the dark force cave, which would cloak his own force aura and use.

I believe that there's another reason, not excluding others, but contributing as well. Jedi's arrogance. Their belief that they're always right together with dogmatic approach might've probably make them turn the blind eye even when they did fell that something is off. Like "oh, I know that fella Krell, one of us, totally awesome guy with a pile of victories, there's no way he's a secretly a piece of sith even if something is off. Probably just having a bad day"

this is one I hoped the assassin clones got

An explanation for the jedi not seeing Palpatine is that he had no presence in the force. Plaguies believed him to be some kind of sith chosen one, since he was essentially undetectable in the force

The Senate clouded General Kenobi’s mind.

Funnily enough, your "attention, Sergeant on deck!" Comes from the Umbara Arc.

short answer: the force is highly reactive and dependent to a very specific material called "scenarium" (a material often used to build plot armors)

Can you talk about every planet in canon & legend that has a powerful darkside/lightside nexus?

I'm not omniscient, no Jedi is. In fact, the Dark Side is inherently difficult to sense because it clouds the vision of the Jedi. Dark Side users know how to shield themselves from being sensed. I don't know where this myth of Jedi being able to always sense the Dark Side came from. The only time Jedi ever sensed the Dark Side was when Dark Side users didn't hide it. Sensing the Dark Side in people is entirely dependent of those people not concealing the Dark Side in them.

7:36 Yes, of course. The Fog of War. My old nemesis

“Eventually you’ll have to do the right thing and-“ *blaster fires* Cutting off Krell’s monologue was so satisfying and very much deserved.

Fallen jedi: I used the force to conceal the force

When I first saw this arc I legit thought that one of the Jedi would have seen something was up and would have came to help the clones. Or at least that one of the clones would have called kenobi for help.

Not like he have the most casualties which is millions of credits being lost or anything.

Force concealment and the one that keeps others from noticing you at all are some of my favorite force powers. I also like mind tricks.

Because Krell had the high ground on Obi-Wan

it could be like mace windu where they knew he used dark side powers so they kind of ignored it

How dare you disrespect Grogu like that

Excuse me why tf does Grogu "deserve" a blaster bolt??????

thank you for saying that about grogu

It was stated in attack of the clones that the Jedi their ability to use the force had been diminished. I believe that is why they could not sense the fall of multiple Jedi and padawans. Plus roughly a thousand years of peace and sitting on top of a dark side Nexus and Temple probably did not help things.

I really wanted to see the ramifications of Umbara. Rex calling out both the jedi and the Republic for having to go through that entire ordeal

he said he been preparing for this act, so possible he learned everything he needed to know, for the most part he was pretty smart or well clever in how he did things

another reason why they may not have detected their fall was perhaps that their falls were either a slow and insidious making it harder to pick up if you're note watching carefully or were extremely spontaneous in krell who could have fallen after anakin and obi-wan had left umbara. we weren't specifically told when he became a fallen jedi.

Always wondered how the jedi generals didn't sense they would be killed by clones right before it happens & this puts background influences well into perspective

Thanks for the shoutout bro

I have one for you Why didn't the Republic used Captured Battle droids?

I mean, what do you expect when you're on a planet literally named "shadowy"?

> Krell the most unpleasant character Remember, Ki Adi-Mundi still exists

Dude this was soooo good

Quinlan Vos hid his fall from the dark side from the whole Jedi counsel

Well makes me wonder if they’re constantly the Jedi order being surrounded by Sith artifacts and even the Jedi council didn’t notice. And since they’ve constantly been exposed to dark side energy. They wouldn’t notice. They filtered it out as background noise like they have been doing for all of the Sith artifacts and Darkside of the force that’s constantly being surrounding them on croissant.

**Anakin confronting Krell about sensing the dark side in him** “Well if that isn't the Quacta calling the Stifling Slimy” - Boba Fett

Does anyone else always salute after “Attention! Sargent on deck!”?

Same reason as Palpatine, their strong force clouded such abilities of foresight

Actually dooku uses force concealment in the clone wars to look like a moai statue head

I always think about this question everytime i here about Krell

I kinda hate how in Star Wars Force users are able to “sense” all these things but the movies and shows very vaguely describe how and why they can sense these things. Like Sidious is able to “cloud” the force so that literally all of the Jedi don’t know what’s going on. I know palpating was super powerful, but so were all the Jedi.

I’m a simple man. I see Pong-Krell I click

DONT TOUCH BABY YODA!

Count dooku never had sith eyes as he never went deep enough into the darkside. His use of it was more as a tool than a full embrace.

What actually blow my mind is that Krell's voice actor is David Fennoy, which i previously encountered as a voice actor for Lee Everett - complete opposite character lol

I think another reason is because why would they have any reason to suspect him? They have to actively be looking, and even before his fall, Krell still had the highest casualties of any general, because of his lack of strategy

Plot armour & bad writting

The only question I have, and I was wondering if maybe a video could be done to cover this more, is with the battle of Umbara being so strategically important and so valuable a planet, why didn't the clone legions tasked with the invasion wear camouflage that better matched the planets environment? Imagine the 501st but with black and blue armor?

6:37 Yoda is a floating chair.

I have 2 videos that I want to see,I want to see what if Palpatine switched sides after he killed his master & what if Palpatine was a Jedi.

Going straight to the history Channel bc I know it's gonna be good I love your way of telling stories

2:54 Taint of Umbara, not something separate... aka Krell’s taint... ok, I’ll show myself out...

Dont forget Jedi had stress and ptsd

Depa Bilaba fell to the Dark side?! When? Before she took on Caleb Dume as a padawan? Clearly I have missed something big.

Wait Why does Grogu deserve a blasterbolt? He's the key to De-cannonizing the sequel trilogy

Grogu deserved a blaster bolt? first time Ive seen anyone openly hate baby yoda

Perhaps the Jedi just thought the Sith were gone and so wouldn't think about it.

I particularly like the fog of war idea. Assuming aliens have emotional bandwidths similar to humans, constant combat would make controlling the anger, sorrow, guilt, and other intense emotions natural to war difficult to manage. Most Jedi probably had these fluctuations so Krell probably appeared as a normal Jedi in the context of battle. Also we know that the Jedi had a diminished ability to use the force. They didn't even know that the clones were being created which deeply disturbed Yoda and Windu. Sidious's plan was the perfect storm to weaken the Jedi's connection with the Force. Also consider that light side and dark side are not settings on a washing machine. Luke didn't become sith because he almost like Kylo. It takes time and dedication to drawing from the dark side in order to truly fall.

Wish we got more of Krell he was so cool. Wouldn’t been suchhhh a great villian

puts a whole new meaning to the fog of war lol.

Even though krell wanted to be dooku’s apprentice I think that even dooku would be disgusted by krell’s actions because of how cruel they were.

Brother you get an updoot just for calling out Rogu for the tyrant he is!

The shroud of the dark side has fallen.

To be honest as seen several times over the jedi usually cant see other jedi falling due to their arrogance. They simply cant comprehend why a jedi would fall in the first place. They are for the most part incapable of seeing where they went wrong even when they commit atrocities like malacore v which led to the monster known as nihilous.

I really like that art of maul vs ventress

Maybe it's because that sometimes a prequel series that is released after a theatrical release, that is then based on the chronological timeline before that release, might Retcon or leave plot holes. Not all great universes are told and built flawlessly. Just wanted to point that out. 👍🏼

How come no one could sense Palpatine being a sith Lord practically to their faces? Same reason probably.

Also Vandar failed to detect Revan and Bastila as they charged the star forge in the non canon ending of KOTOR

Krell bad, but Dexter good. He brought me pancakes while I was hospitalized after being shot

Palpertine was clouding the force yoda says its hard to see.
