I suspect it's a combination of factors. 1. Definitely being influenced by the Holocrons. 2. Genuinely thinking they could be useful against any resurgent Sith. And 3. Fear of the dark power contained within escaping before they could properly deal with it.

Most likely it was to learn Sith secrets, methods and history. As ignorance often leads to defeat. However, many of the sith holocron gate keepers were masters as teaching just the right courses along a path where the student would gain more and more knowledge and therefore more and more power. Even Luke Skywalker acknowledged the need to learn Sith methods; allowing Tionne Solusar to study one at his academy on Yavin 4. However, only while being supervised by 4 Jedi along with medical personnel using scanners to monitor her for any physical or psychological changes. Also keep in mind, not all Sith holocrons are dangerous. Jedi Odan-Urr kept the Sith holocron he found at the end of the Great Hyerspace War in the library on Osus for more than 1000 years. Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas also studied this holocron as well; neither suffered from adverse effects. Of note however, is Jedi Exar Kun killed Odan-Urr to obtain this holocron in order to gain Sith knowledge.

Out of all the Channels I watch on KZfaq that Give Star Wars Breakdowns, this One is DEFINITELY the Most Serious lol. I feel like this Sh!t gets DEEP

They contain information, teachings, training and recording, sometimes histories. Even virtual intelligence avatars in the form of important Jedi or Sith or those that created it, that will challenge whoever tries to access it to see if they worthy of the information locked inside.

Why couldn’t they destroy the holocrons and just transcribe the info into books and stuff that aren’t corrupting?

I would guess it's a matter of needing to know their enemy and what they're up against.

Bane destroyed Revan’s holocron after he’d already “used” it and it no longer contained the force, which may have been why he was able to crush it.

“I know there are things about the Force that they are *not* telling me.” -Anakin Skywalker If only they had trusted him more, he may not have betrayed them for Sidious’ knowledge if he could sift the holocrons himself. What are Luke’s thoughts on Holocrons? Does he mention them in the book of the Sith?

I agree could be influenced by the holocrons. I think another factor is some of the knowledge is neither good or bad. Not everything the Jedi knew or practiced was good or bad, and some things simply just changed as what was acceptable and what was not, whether force abilities or light saber techniques. So the same could be said for the Sith, some knowledge would not be evil it would just be knowledge... the only problem is accessing that knowledge and not having the Sith holocron influence you would be a problem. Because you could easily be influenced to use more and more of that knowledge that gradually became more evil.

Please make as many videos as you can on everything there is in Star Wars universe. In particular, make a holocron on absolutely everything about the jedi and another holocron about the sith and everything related! Pretty, please!

Using someone’s own teachings against them can in turn corrupt them.

Keeping knowledge to use against one's enemy is generally wise but not in this case. The jedi should have immediately destroyed them upon finding them.

Destroying knowledge because of its source sounds like the darkest path to me.

I wonder what would've happened had the Jedi kept the Sith Holocron's in some secret location.

I understand that knowledge is power and it is a part of the Jedi Code, but the dangers of the Sith Holocrons were too dangerous to be contained and secure, and considering how corrupting and tempting they are to the Jedi it should be more wiser to destroy it.

I think holocrons hypnotized Jedi. They prevented them from destroying them. Also,they had knowledge,teachings,they were Master. Easy to access. This is it. I remember Atris from KOTOR. She was indeed corrupted. She surrounded herself with those who can't feel the Force. And we know why. Kreia caledl her out numerous times . We will be careful of all holocrons. May the Force be with you too

This channel is my equivalent to Holocrons

There has to be balance.

Sith Holocrons are so cool.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THE SITH SONG PLAYED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO ?

The thumbnail 😭😭😭😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

So, what happened to all those holocrons when the Sidious Empire fell?

Wich wan would you be JEDI, GREY JEDI, DARK JEDI, SITH ?????

Should've went to them the moment the Sith reappear. And any other source of Sith knowledge

*considering the events according to both, lore, films, and canon...I'd say this was a very stupid move, as they would eventually end up in the possession of Sidious, but i digress.*

They should had a place to destroy Sith holocrons like wild space or just throw them to a star.

Knowledge is only as evil as the information that is being used

Is this canon or legends?

Before Watching All Of This, Art Of War Rules.

Seems to me like the Jedi order was attempting to hoard and hide all knowledge of the dark side because they feared it

Have you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?

At 4:40 what is that Jedi's name?

if i were a jedi council i would keep it in order to test if someone was a "true" jedi with it .. if he resist he passes .. if he cannot XXXXXXX

Because compassion or resentment to far gone are corrupted and terrible. Same as in real life, left or right if you don’t find balance close to the middle they are extreme and destructive.

I realized how Einstein succeeded. He succeeded, because he read the Bible. By the way, I plan to study all other religions. POLYTHEISM AND OMNISM!!! Polytheism means to believe in many Gods and Goddesses. Omnism is the belief in all religions and knowing that no religion is the absolute truth, but every religion contains truth. Monotheism means to believe in only one God. Deism is the belief that there is a God, without submitting to a particular religion. I recommend that you start with Christianity. Read to be saved, to learn to be good and to become more and more successful!

Atris didn’t train the sith triumvirate

I'm confused 🤔 what exactly does this item do?

Star wars equivalent of a USB thumb drive

So Sith holocrons are like the Jedi books Luke had

They were fools

So Jedi are hypocrites and thieves basically got it 😂

Yo

I love star wars holocrones l want to see more sith holocrones they are too destroyed

Day 284 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

Destroying information is like being the Taliban.

Okay!

🙂

The Jedi were fools for keeping knowledge that didn’t belong to them. In my honest opinion the knowledge of the dark side holds way more power, and Waymore things that are interesting rather than the knowledge of the Jedi, which is nothing but nonsense and foolish ideologies.

when u realize cinema made it a tradition to sell us live action films that are just downplayed versions of books🥲
