To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics. But their history, philosophy, art

Execute order number 9, number 9 large, number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

It goes along with what Palpatine said, "All who have power are afraid to loose it, even the Jedi."

The Jedi had fatal flaws and one of them was serving a corrupt and inefficient Republic. It all worked but the core was more and more rotten. But when Palpatine came around it was game over for the Jedi. Palpatine was incredible genius who placed traps within traps backed up by more traps. And the Clone Wars were an inescapable trap from which there was no escape for the Jedi.

"My attack on the Temple was an attack on what the Jedi have become. An army fighting for the Dark Side, fallen from the Light that we once held so dear. This Republic is failing! It's only a matter of time." ~ Barris Offee

Well done. Loved how the Clone Wars show gave so many characters a lot of interesting developments.

The Jedi were doomed because they built their temple on a dark-side focus. It was this that clouded their vision and made it easy for them to go astray.

6:00 The largest faction in every conflict is the "leave me alone" faction.

It would appear that in the early days of the Republic, the Jedi were looked to in order to resolve disputes. It appears that is was the Republic who became too dependent upon elite "Warrior monks"

Jedi should have stayed as Ambassadors and Intermediators. They had no place in a conventional war.

Children’s show: more intricate political intrigue and subterfuge than most adult content

The Republic was the Jedi's main weakness. The Sith did well to discover+ exploit that weakness. The Jedi allowed many evils to go unchecked because pf the corrupted Republic. They lost their way the day they agreed to serve the Republic.

So early that Walt Disney still had control over the company

Palpatine wanted order, but his Master wanted to revel in pure chaos and that's what Jar Jar Binks did

Why is Yoda holding Mace head like that?

the Jedi were screwed the moment they got in bed with the Senate.

Yoda said it best in the Revenge of the Sith novel: the Jedi lost the Clone Wars before they began. The Sith and their own dogmatic arrogance and blind allegiance to the Republic let them sleepwalk their way to near extinction.

The thumbnail tho 😂

The Jedi were screwed when Palpatine became chancelor. If they found out Sidious's true identity in episode 1 they could have stopped everything: No clone wars, no order 66, no galactic empire, no galactic civil war. Sidious knew the Jedi's philosophy, their code and therefor their weaknesses. Through his political skills he could manipulate every single event to his advantage. When the Jedi became generals in the clone wars he could portay them as war mongers, if they want to solve the clone wars diplomaticly he could portay them as cowards and if they refused to fight he could portay them as traitors.

The Jedi were blinded by them thinking they could simultaneously have oversight and be invested i´n wars. This just has to go wrong!

There was also the developing PR about the one who appeared to be doing the selfless devotion to securing the Republic and had the backing of so many of the masses, which was Palpatine. I would like to find out more about the knives used by Hunter and Wrecker in The Bad Batch. Those knives were strong enough to pry open sealed doors and yet finely edged to the point of slicing droids with seemingly ease. Also, why do they have what appear to be glowing segments in those blades?

The thumbnail is hilarious 😂

Palpatine: So manipulation be like

The jedi order, their downfall and their relationship to the republic is reminiscent of the Knights Templar who suffered their own order 66 centuries ago.

Anyone else think that after the urge of the Jedi Temple with Order 66 that if they were nearby they would also go in and collect as many lightsabers and blasters as possible and become a Black Market dealer? I would.

So the Jedi were the least equipped to lead a war, and they did command a lot of missions that had heavy losses. But for the most part, their lives were on the line with the clones, and I guess the force helped a bit with some extreme successes. I think that would garner respect within a warrior race. A sort of innocence and fierceness to tue clones.

We can compare the Downfall of the Jedi Order in The Clone Wars to the Fall from Unity of the Avengers during A enters: Civil War. The Sakovian Accords, that were meant to bring oversight, codes of conduct and responsibility for the Avengers, was not accepted by all of it's members, who each had their own ideals and ways of dealing with conflict. Many considers themselves civilians, though superpowers, but civilians none th less, and refused to accept being placed under military authority and rules. The Jedi began as much the same way. The were specially skilled civilians, who's purpose was to protect the civilian populace from threats of subjugation and death. This is how the new galactic Chancellor Palpatine (aka Sith Lord Darth Sidious) convinced the Jedi to command the Grand Army of the Republic.....to 'protect' the Galaxy from the threat of the Separatists and their droid army (which he and his apprentice Darth Lord Tyrannus aka former Jedi Count Dooku created/commanded). This put a civilian/religious body in a military role they were untrained for. Mistakes and mishaps that put civilians at risk were bound to happen (planned and expected by the Sith) to undermine the public confidence in the Jedi. It made it easy to make the Jedi appear corrupt and threatening to the Republic.

If the Jedi would have taught students to control and harness their emotions, Anakin might not have fallen to the dark side. Which could have stopped order 66.

Every single War the Jedi were part of was a trap to destroy them. Seriously in legends the Jedi kept walking into Sith tricks to destroy them in a war. Only rarely did the Order have leaders who kept to core principals of the Jedi, like Jedi Sentinels did. Who saw the traps for what they were, for instance. The Jedi leadership saw the Mando Wars as trap against them, the just didn't know by who.

Even if mace windu killed palpatine the jedi would be doomed because the public would thought the jedi are commiting high treason againts the republic

Your vids are excellent!! I've learned a TON of stuff that I NEVER would have caught on my own. THANK YOU for all your hard work Researching, Producing, and Posting them!!

Odd that Dooku slaughtered Fetts people but they still ended up working together

I absolutely agree with you. Obviously, the Jedi Order never deserved for Palpatine to execute Order 66, Darth Vader, or the Empire. However, even without them, Yoda had fucked them over in his desperation to avoid conflict, and everyone else was too afraid to say no.

With no army to enforce your decrees how could the Senate work at all... I never understood that. I'm surprised the separtist movement didnt happen sooner. The Jedis role in the Republic is really vague and I don't think they even knew what it was. Are they above the Senate and can change it at will or do they serve the Senate? They needed to be clear on that.

Jedi's have to big EGO.

They should have never become commander’s for the war….

Lol Why is Yoda holding mace windus head like that in the thumbnail

I’ve been thinking about the Jedi deserving order 66 especially after playing Jedi Survivor. Some of the Jedi were weak-minded and by the time of the fall of the republic they were full of hubris, arrogance and ignorance. It’s funny that after a minor inconvenience they are quick to turn to the dark side. I’m excluding the inquisitors because they were tortured, but I think of Dagan Gera, Bode, Quinlan Vos, Taron Malicos, Ferren Barr and many others. I just think of how easy it is for them to turn because I feel like they didn’t really believe in the doctrine the Jedi taught

Its hard to tell as honestly peace would have given them time to fix the situation and they easily could have promoted the senior clones with good track records to replace the Jedi as commanders after the war ended

Order 66 fails: jar jar ignites his crimson saber “you have failed me for the last time palpy”

I liked the episode where they rescue tarkin and we finally get to see him discuss his views with anakin.

You must also take into consideration that Palpatine and Hego Demask had been working in the Senate against the Jedi. Even before Hego Demask found and trained Palpatine he was influencing the Senate which at the time was a governing body that solve issues and helped certain weaker sectors in the benefit of the Rest of the Republic. The Russan reformations only took the Jedi's power away to govern and to self govern and fund their order. This puts them under the direct control of the Republic Senate and not part of their Judicial branch or diplomatic corps. They continue to train for battle with a foe that had been defeated instead of serving the people as a charity organization like there service corps. There should have been no knights, except possibly the Temple Guard, left. Being funded now solely by the Republic they have to listen to the Senate. This gave the hidden Sith an in that through direct or indirect influence in the Senate the Jedi were reduced in size from the several million to have a Jedi on every planet to the mere Ten thousand at the start of the clone wars. They were warriors without a foe. Diplomats with their voices silenced. And blinded by the Dark side and their traditions. Had both Palpatine and Hego Demask died in that cave in then the Republic would have continued on for Millenia until a new Sith Order rose. Their budget was controlled the Senate, they were given their missions by the Senate, who was ruled by the ones with the biggest pocket book. Sidious and Plagueis slowly over time changed the rules of how the Jedi were allowed to operate. They were the ones that caused Galidraan and The Huk and Kahleesh war the stark hyperspace war and dozens of other issues and wars and atrocities and made sure the Jedi did not question their intel. They had to follow orders that had turned against their morals. This goes back several hundred years to the Mandalorian Excision. Even that far back the Sith were influencing the Jedi or they did it themselves. Wookiepedia 738 BBY The Mandalorian Excision or Annihilation occurs after Mandalore refuses to join the Republic in the wake of the Ruusan Reformation. The damage lasted for centuries, with entire sections of Mandalorian worlds remaining barren deserts. 350 BBY The Trade Federation is created to regulate commerce in the Outer Rim. 124 BBY The Senate approves two significant and related pieces of legislation. One declares the Outer Rim Territories a free-trade zone exempt from taxation, and the other extends the definition of functional constituencies entitled to representation in the Senate to guilds and corporations.

The Jedi had the same problems as the Templars did in their era of our own history. For most of the same reasons. If the Jedi were bankers, too, the comparison would be obvious. Too obvious.

Great video!

the jedi were stuck between a rock and a hard place. it’s great seeing them in the high republic because we get to see them operate in a setting that doesn’t screw them over no matter what choice they made

They were hypocrites and fools.

Well, that was the plan. Make it so there was no move that wouldn't lead to their downfall & to a new Sith empire. They couldn't choose either the Republican or the Separatists, and if they didn't choose then the winner (or both) would turn on the Jedi & massacre them.

4:08 * General Grievous has entered the chat *

Video idea: why didn’t the separatist make more of the malevolence type ships with the energy blast. Yeah the quick answer is probably cost but the video could go more in depth and explore other reasons.

I always said that if there is something about star wars it is something that is not worth know then I found this channel what an amazing channel it actually has taught me alot

Eh, people on a societal level in our world have a very fickle memory. It is probably the same in the Star Wars Universe and so, personally I think without Order 66 the Jedi’s image would have cleaned up within a few years if in this universe there was no Sith plot. Separatist worlds may not forgive them but Republic Worlds would. However, if Palpatine had been revealed as a Sith and killed, I find it likely the Jedi would have been turned on by the Republic govt to save face. They’d have blamed everything on the Jedi and questioned what the real difference was between Jedi and Sith. In the end the Jedi wouldn’t have been attacked but I suspect they would be forced off of Coruscant.

Why is there sunlight in the background it's painful I haven't seen sky in so long

I always thought it was weird that the Jedi were immediately promoted to Generals to lead the Grand Army of the Republic. Warrant Officers or Specialist perhaps, but they would have to prove themselves in order to lead troops into combat. Members of the High Council should be made into Generals because they are leaders of the order and hold a high position in the Republic Hierarchy, but not regular Jedi.

Even without palpatine order 66 and the empire the jedi order still hated by the public

Yoda In the thumbnail had me dying

Lol why yoda holding windu’s head in the thumbnail

Video idea . ranking of the members of the bad batch from most powerful to least powerful.

Seems to be that if the Jedi hadn't amde a move against Palpatine they would of eventually been ousted anyway. They were doing a very good job of making themslves look bad even with out Palpatines influence, like Grevious said they were all doomed.

"Jedi listen take this lesson in exchange for my life. You can't trust the order or the republic, you may be there hero now but they will abandon you too remember that...."

Two Questions: What is the Purpose/Job of a Jedi? What is it that they are supposed to do?

Good. We will watch your career with great interest.

Peacekeepers? The Jedi order has always been the republic's secret police.

If we swapped Palpatine for any other Chancellor, I think Order 66 would have still been programmed into the minds of the Clones due to the Jedi's unfortunate disaster that is their reputation.

It should be more like the Jedi were screwed even with the chosen one.

Funny how the Jedi got put into a position to be blamed for every thing that went on even when their own temple got bombed. It is like people just wanted to blame someone other than their own useless representatives.

They pouched themselves by not spending time with the common folk and seeing the corruption

Wow. Amazing view out ur window. 😍

So we're not going to talk about the thumbnail?

lack of competition

Yamree have the nickname the huk meaning soulless bugs

Thanks.

Well, Order 66 was only just one alternative.

Notification squad line up

(7:48) The protest wasn't that big.

Why does yoda have his hands around mace windu (who is a hindu) head lie He wants to crack his neck?

I believe Order 66 was Palpatine's direct response to the Jedi finding out that he was Darth Sidious. Kind of a 'knee jerk' reaction of a backup plan if you will. Had the Jedi not found out and things went on the way Palpatine planned, I imagine that the Republic itself would have taken the Jedi down and blamed them for all their problems.

Video on stun rounds when?

What city is that?

👍

Hudson River?

By fighting at all, the Jedi lost - from the Ep. 3 novelization.

The fact that count dooku was a former Jedi & join the cis may have already ruin the Jedi imagine.

"Anti war protestors" is a funny way of spelling "enemy combatants"

After what happened to Ahsoka, the Jedi Order needed to understand that magic monks and galactic governments don't mix well together. But no. They just practically stood by and waited like sitting ducks for the brainwashed clone troopers to shoot at.

The People of Jabiim suffered because of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi's inaction !! Which is very sad and tragic :(

This video makes me understand why Palpatine's Empire gained so much support... In its earliest days

Like the former Soviet Union, the Jedi Order would have collapsed under their own weight and imploded even without Sith interference. Palpatine was just having fun.

0:05 Sounds like hes confused on if his name is actually Alan lmao

Alan???

Nice

I blame public opinion.

Well, without order 66 they wouldn't have been shot bits at least.

Palpatine took a lot of steps to ensure the downfall of the Jedi Order. If one didn't go so well, the others would ensure the success of the Sith.

Maybe Anakin should have stayed home with his mom until he was 18. At least he’d have some semblance of a normal life until he heads out into the galaxy.

'Sissum'??

I'm fairly early today

Without Palpatine or Order 66, they still going to be hunted down by anyone anyway.

Baris offee became the very thing she hated

Jedi was some of the biggest failures in story leeing once they agree to sign paperwork to get rid of the army and army training and to believe the sith were no more that had to be the start of the sith raise

The Jedi to the republic is kinda like the CIA, FBI combined.
