In Legends as Luke Skywalker starts the process of rebuilding the Jedi Order, Mon Mothma pulls him aside and tells him to avoid the cloistered monastic model. She envisions Jedi taking up everyday jobs among the population - as teachers, nurses, security guards and gardeners. The implication is that Jedi separatism was a contributing factor to the Empire being able to purge them so easily.

The Jedi Guardian protocols were a mistake. An extreme overreaction to the nihil threat. It was so perfect in how they negatively changed the Jedi as an institution, that the nihil must have been influenced by the sith. Think about it. The Jedi guardians protocols called for the decommission of most older Jedi facilities and that all Jedi are back to be centrally located back on coruscant. So now the outer rim is effectively abandoned. Perfect for the Sith to operate with the covering of the outer rim gangs and cartels. Only someone with inside knowledge of wartime protocols would put together a plan like this. The Sith were 100% involved in the background of the Nihil conflict, IMO.

Its a dark age for the jedi in a way, imo, because they are getting bogged down by the politics of the republics and succumbing to policies that dont fit well with a religious order who just want to study the force. A really neat detail is when they say "you are under arrest in the name of the republic" when it could be argued that this is an internal issue within the jedi order. Its an important detail which shows that the fall of the jedi is inevitable to their unofficial affiliation with the Republic without any official checks and balances in place to define the relationship. They mean well but will ultimately fail due to the unforgiving politics of the senate.

The previous age was technically called the "dark age" for the galaxy overall. In the High Republic era on the other hand the moment it was announced those who studied the lore knew EXACTLY what was about to go down, of course they spun it as the Jedi being at the height of their power and whatnot, but the truth was this was the beginning of their slide into what they became by the prequel era. That being enforcers for the senate, and as far as their dogma becoming hyper-conservative and allowing fear of ANYTHING that could upset "the balance" to be squashed, smothered, and silenced. Which included knowledge of large swaths of the past, and what the force was capable of, which led to eventual regression in their capability.

The Jedi Order as a whole is an attempt to maintain peace and balance and most if not all members try to do their best to do their part, but mistakes are inevitable. Rather than making us feel more cynical about the Jedi due to their hypocrisy, it helps us, or at least me, sympathize with them because they're just a little bit more relatable.

The thing that made me mad was the fact that when Osha was no longer going to be a Jedi the order did not give her a sort of severence package that included education or training in a marketable skill. Having her only being able to find employment doing sketchy work for an organization that broke labor laws was pretty much designed to drive that fact home.

Because of your videos the past year I have seen the jedi and the republic as corrupt and intertwined, Even the dolphins aren't as blinded as they are

I'm a Boomer. I saw the first 3 films. Now those films have been edited, changed and prequels done. Even in the first 3 films, I could see something was amiss. Vader and the Dark Side didn't seem exactly like Yoda or Obi Wan claimed. Something told me that the Jedi had done SOMETHING and they now had a whirlwind of Karma - vengeance coming for them. Light side of the force isn't good, the Dark side isn't evil - it's HOW it's done, and why. But intolerance, when the Jedi decided they and they alone were right - yeah, trying to destroy all the Dark siders - that just made the Dark Siders into what the Jedi had claimed they were. They created their own monster and the Dark Siders seeking justice became the Jedi monsters they had fought. They both lost.

The scenes with the Jedi Order were some of my favorite but I do think that they should have put the show 200-300 years before the clone wars rather than 100. Both are in the High Republic era but by the time of the era the show is taking place they were already starting to transition into the more familiar style we see in the movies. I’d have liked to see a more concrete example of the High Republic instead of the last dying gasps. Just personally speaking… That said it’s only a minor gripe rather than anything that truly irritates me.

He has a strong moral compass and a desire to help others as a white knight sort of figure and who wouldnt, lets be honest. But his major flaw is he is by the books and doesn't seem to be able to think outside the box, though the jedi education system is probably to blame for this. It makes him such a complex character and i think a big part of that is Charlie Barnett's portrayal. He really showcases who Yord is without needing to say it; only his actions and the ways he goes about things. Brilliant acting imo. Amazing video Alan, I much look forward to deeper dives into the different characters and the story as the series progresses

Nice analysis!

I wouldn't call it unnecessary regulation to prohibit organic workers from being deployed for very dangerous out of craft work, when there are lots of droids available who can do the job just as well if not better.

But in SW, the droids are sentient and unpaid, so there's a whole other issue there.

that call out scene reminded me alot of equilibrium

i love the window/poster

Allen would be at home in Augusta from the Commonwealth Saga... Nuclear power plants right next to schools. So much life stress, you have to re-life in half the time! No regulations... XD

Mate,loving your window view

You rock, Alan!!

I gotta ask about the window is that live going on or do you add it later

Are they gonna make the Jedi drink that green sequels milk?

Interesting correlation with the studies that show the higher progression up corporate ladder lead to decreasing empathy levels

They still haven't shown what exactly happened that caused Mae to want to kill the 4 Jedi and why the jedi with the scar stated they were wrong just before offing himself. It implied Mae started the fire, but did she?

5:51 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that when I first heard her name

Happy Day of the Imperium Allen!

One of the big problems, if not thee problem, is training in leadership in the higher governmental levels. The Jedi structure is military, not civilian. There is a great different between the two.

That "Strong men breed..." quote is from a 2016 novel. It's not ancient wisdom and it's just not true. It also sounds WAY too much like Eugenics.

It also kinda implies that war produces good i.e strong people which is only true if you consider masculinity and strength/aggression to be the poster child of good traits. There is this weird way in which traditional masculinity produces the need for it's own top traits by causing conflicts. I'm not enough of a history buff to be in a position to quantitatively prove this claim, but: Conflicts/Wars usually start because men interact aggressively, because their ideals of traditional masculinity necessitate them to embody strengt and to retaliate against mockery/aggression. Then the Advent of a conflict reinforces the positive view on traditionally masculine traits, because strength, brutality and absence of emotion besides anger, are what helps you do well in war. Even traits that are more positive, like being protective towards your loved ones, are in most modern day situations only needed due to the previously mentioned traits. The most likely thing a man can protect his loved ones from, is another violent man. Obviously there are more nuances to all of this but this post is getting pretty long anyway. I just wanted to point out that in a lot of situations traditional masculinity is needed/favored because the existence of traditional masculinity makes it necessary.

The entire time in both episodes I was just saying "wait this is exactly why Anakin leaves in a couple hundred years."

vader didnt blow up the death star nor did he prevent it from blowing up. its his fault.

FYI, the sights were set so way off on the RPG no one ever hit the cow

How is bro rich enough to have multiple homes on coruscant?

I always knew you lived on Coruscant.

Well... Anakin threw Palps down the shaft in an electric uncontrolled fury, which caused an explosion. So Anakin did help blow up Death Star 2.

Bro lives on Coruscant

I'm gonna be brutally honest - I could barely make it past the first episode because the dialouge was so clunky. It felt like I was watching a first draft that hadn't been proofread to make sure the dialouge flowed naturally.

"Yes, my child?" "Attack me...with all your strength."

Imagine if Jar Jar became a mandalorian?

A mix of fans and non-fans, with each respecting the other's point of view, working together with understanding to create something respectful, fantastic and new. Why is that so hard? Would some of the fans accept it, after all that's happened, even if it were achieved? 🔦May the force be with you! 🔦

nice window trick.

There's two moment's the the prequels that sum up how lost and corrupted by politics that he Jedi Order has become, and it's the difference between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. First there's the scene of the two of them talking and Obi is concerned about obeying the council while Qui-Gon says that he'll do what he must. Then right at the end of the prequels we get Obi saying that his loyalty is to the republic. And that's the problem. The Jedi should be following the will of the force, not the republic, not a hierarchy, not an organisation or dogma. The Order lost it's way, and its purpose, when they became a part of the Republic's organisations. It's also one reason why I was so disappointed in the Kenobi series. I was hoping for some introspection about the role of Jedi and the meaning of the force, where Obi comes to realise that Qui-Gon was right all along.

Exactly, I wholeheartedly agree with you, the Kenobi series should’ve shown Obi Wan reflect on how the order went wrong.

Just really wow..... While I can agree with your first example about Obi-wan blindly obeying the Council, do you even remember the context of the 2nd quote?! Anakin was talking about ruling the galaxy and Obi-Wan was talking about being loyal to democracy and the Republic. So yeah, which one was really a better choice to go with; the evil empire builder or the Republic? Tough choice to pick from..... Why shouldn't there be a hierarchy btw, when did that turn evil? You do know that even monastic organizations have hierarchies, yes and that there's nothing inherently wrong with them. As for the Kenobi series; it wasn't even about Kenobi, it was about the stupid Inquisitor Reva and Leia (why I don't know), they should have renamed it the Reva & Leia series tbh.
