It is worth pointing out that Revan, apart from even Malak, started dabbling in the dark side during the Mandalorian Wars because of his own search for answers, not just for the sake of victory. "Perhaps Revan never fell. The difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I feel that Revan understood that difference, more than anyone knew. The galaxy would have fallen if Revan had not gone to war."
So Kreia said, Revan knew the only way to defeat the dark side was to understand it, however she never eluded that he had a plan to come back from the Dark side. And let us not forget, she herself fell and only ‘returned’ when her connection to the force was taken. Which she held a huge chip, dare I say a dark side bent, ‘kills Jedi Masters for revenge’. I don’t think she is the one we should really trust for understandings and proper guidance on how not to fall to the Dark side. Just saying. 😂
I would have thought Yoda more of a consular. He's one of the best with the lightsaber but he focused more on introspection. I would have thought Anakin would be the better choice of a Sentinel since he was adept at mechanics and other crafts outside of normal Jedi skills.
Yeah, I’ve always felt the same. Of course I like the yellow lightsaber blades as well and as we’ve never received an official explanation for orange sabers, which I also like, my head cannon sort of expanded the lore connected with Windu’s purple saber, such that if Windu was a Sentinel instead of a guardian, then his saber would be orange (red + blue = purple, but red + yellow = orange.)
I would have to question if Qui Gon Jin was a guardian. It seems more to me that he was a sentinel as he let the force guide his every action, but had more resolve, and immediate action than that of a consular.
He followed a faith and belief in the force to drive him.. But that doesnt decide a sentinel.. Most of Qui-gons training and Mastery was that of lightsaber combat.. which is within the Guardian doctrine.. Even if he was a perceivably different Jedi through philosophy. But Philosophy alone didnt often dictate your place in the order.
He's technically still a guardian, as his skill sets & assignments lean heavily towards combat, often having to brandish his lightsaber for one reason or another. But unlike many jedi guardians who're straight up gung ho warriors & little else, he has the studious, reserved nature of consulars, & the inquisitive, independent side of sentinels. Still, once again, it's ultimately what you do that defines you, instead of the attitude & mindset you take.
@@balvarine8709 yah but how many people try to ignore that because swtor's lore kinda ruins revan as a character. Not that you arnt right..... Just god I try to ignore anything swtor says about revan.

Ignoring the SWTOR lore, because it trashes the awesome storytelling of Kotor2. Yes, Revan chose the Dark Side because the Jedi couldn't win against the True Sith, but another Sith faction could. Don't get me wrong I love SWTOR. But Kotor 1 and 2 had superb storytelling and lore building before SWTOR came in and flipped the table.
@@Vazkiel this a million times this. Swtor is good but anytime it contradicts Kotor I side with Kotor canon. And technically due to Lucas old canon hierarchy I want to think a single player crafted experience vs an mmo is more canon in this setting.... Even if it's just for me.
I'm not going to lie, seeing Star Wars depicted in a still taken from a modded Skyrim was joyous. It was the crossing of streams of two of my favorite ips.
There's a cool mod set in a sort of crossover universe, Invasion of Skyrim. Don't know the exact plot atm but basically Nirn is a planet drenched in the Force and Thrawn wants to conquer it. I tried it out but sadly it was rather unstable back then, definitely recommend it though!
Quinlan is a sentinel. About the fallen mentioned... yes and no. Kun, Revan, Dooku and Anakin are spot on with your description. Ulic was essentially mind washed into following the dark side and Malak... he was pushed/pulled by Revan. Revans charisma is THAT impactful.
@@Theonewhogoesbothways yeah, right. There was a retcon. Tbh I believe their fall did start in the mandalorian war and Vitiate only turned them from dark siders to full blown sith-lords.
I expected it to be Jedi Guardians when I saw the title. It is just a heavy dose of irony that Jedi Guardians had the greatest risk of falling to the dark side, which leads to them trying to control the galaxy and destroy the Jedi.
>be me, has anger issues >become Jedi Guardian >become weapons master >fall to the Dark Side >cause such destruction across the galaxy that the only way to rebuild is without corruption >go to Sith hell >WAIT NO
Figured would be Guardians or any the other Warrior/Guardian classes seeing as if there was any sorts of combat they're gonna most frequently see it one would think. BUT as a whole also figured Jedi would assume falling to the enemy side would be a risk comes with the territory. Guardians are about as Soldier class of Jedi as Jedis can get
A knight it's sworn to valor, His heart knows only virtue, his blade defends the helpless, His might upholds the weak, His words speaks only truth, Has wrath on does the wicked! Remember knights, there is no shame in a fall, The only shame is not to rise once more.
I think there's an argument to be made that these Jedi were also more likely to be exposed to the Dark Side in more personal moments. They searched for the Dark Side, dealt with it's users often, had to listen to and see their actions and achievements, and follow the trail of destruction. Even a pure heart can be corrupted it isn't careful, and these guys would be under a pretty frequent low grade stress even when they weren't dealing with the high grade stress as often. It likely wouldn't take a huge oversight to allow a single seed of the Dark Side to plant itself in their hearts, and it may take even less to not realize that it's there until it's rooted
In truth the Jedi Order were always tempted by the Dark Side, and I believe that the Guardians were more easily target by the Dark Side. Both the Sentinels and the Counselors were more used to using the Force, but the Guardians using their physical strength demands extreme control over their emotions.
The prophesy came later, but there isn't one chosen one, it's a repeating phenomenon caused by the force trying to balance itself (notice they existed in the same circumstances, a crumbling republic and Jedi order blind to the growing shadows). So they were both the chosen one and they weren't the only ones history will keep repeating. they existed and had the strength to do what they did because they needed to to bring balance.
Simple, Revan was not born from a virgin mother. In George's canon it was indeed one the oldest prophecies and there was only one Chosen One, who would destroy the Sith completely.
@DragonHeero If I remember correctly, in the expanded lore Revan unified the Light and Dark sides of the Force and brought them into harmony in how he wielded the Force. Sure, not on the grand scale, but still. Killing off one side's practitioners is not balance. That's the opposite of balance. What Revan did is balance. Hell, it's better than balance.
Ive always been mystified by the sheer volume of potential that every consular faces on their own quest and growth with the force... You may never have the master of the lightsaber like your peers.. But you can influence and protect that which is around you without ever igniting that saber.. The sheer volume of impact an incredibly talented consular may learn... Can have a massive butterfly effect.. (For good or ill...)
Yeah... the tendency of the Jedi Guardians to be on the front lines of everything does lend itself to wannabe heroes who can lose sight of the things they are fighting for... and some will indeed stare into the abyss for too long. But there would be another simpler reason why more Jedi Guardians fell to the Dark Side than Sentinels or Consulars is quite simply because there are way more Guardians than Sentinels or Consulars. Anyway, my main in SWTOR is a Jedi Guardian and he is pretty much a paragon of the Light Side. It's interesting that of late I have found the Jedi and Sith classes focused on lightsaber combat with a single lightsaber to be the most fun... namely the Guardian and Juggernaut, you would expect the dual-wielding Sentinels and Marauders or the double-bladed wielding Shadows or Assassins to be the most fun because it's dual wielding and double blades. I guess the longer I am a Star Wars fan, the more I appreciate the purity of combat with just one blade. I also found Jedi the Fallen Order easier to play with just the single blade instead of the double blade.
I knew the answer before clicking. It's pretty obvious when you have three classes and that one is devoted to keeping the peace through words, another can fight but would still prefer to handle things peacefully and then the third is running around making *SWINGSWING* sounds with their mouths and wondering when the next time they'll get to fight a Sith who the one most likely to fall is.
Yeah, one, Revan didn’t fall, he choose that, second he didn’t do all that to defeat the Mandolorians. He used that as a tool, to get the republic ready for vitiate.
Hmm. So, basically, what is happening here is that, the brightest light casts a darker shadow. There is, or was considering what era you're talking about, a large amount of people who are your typical Jedi heroes but they were more susceptible to the Dark Side than any other Jedi.
Originally thought "Jedi Guardians" due to their combativeness and closeness to conflict in general. Right on the money on that, alongside other commenters. Gotta say, though, I really pity them for their vulnerability to the Dark Side; it also reminds me of the Slytherins from the Wizarding World.
My favorite sect/class of Jedi has and will always be the Jedi Sentinel. They were (at least to me) more well rounded in their approach to the Force, to combat, and general tactics. I agree that Jedi Guardians some times had a hero complex, and those with the hero complex would often fall to the dark side because they couldn't save all of the people they wanted/needed to save or didn't accomplish the goals they set out to accomplish.
The actual conversation between Obi Wan and myself was that I said the ends will justify the means and he said that he would always have the moral high ground
I think Jedi derived from Jeddah, a middle-east city where light (not heavy) swords displays were worth mentionning in the "Around The World Program" you-stick-the-picture-stamps encyclopedia by the National Geaographic Society, Nelson-Doubleday, 1971.
At the risk of sounding pedantic, the guardian and consular classes were in the Star Wars d20 RPG that more or less shared rules with D&D 3.5. KOTOR was based on that RPG. I'm sure anyone that plays D&D immediately recognizes it.
Can’t believe you didn’t even mention Jacen Solo when you were talking about various fallen Jedi, his thought process was basically verbatim what you said
Sentinels for sure are my favorite, plus the yellow sabers just seem badass. I always thought the temple guards had dope armor and the golden yellow glow from their sabers were a nice touch to the whole ensemble. Consulars would have been my second choice. Been trying to find a Veridian crystal in KOTOR II but no luck yet. I do like the Cyan crystal tho. It's funny tho, because even without the green saber, I would have thought qui-gon was a Consular. Just the way he is seems like a diplomat and someone who focusses more on the wisdom and philosophy rather than the physical capabilities. Interesting. I could have definitely seen him to possibly be a sentinel tho. Now I wonder what sect/class Quinlan Vos was
It's the nature of his training & assignments that ultimately defined him as a guardian, as regardless of his approach to things, his training leans heavily towards combat & assignments mostly involve brandishing his lightsaber after all. But as you've noted, he's atypical as a guardian as his attitude & mindset leans considerably towards that of either consular or sentinel.
I believe Revan was a Sentinel. In part cause it's specifically emphasized in several sources that Malak was more of a dedicated swordsman than he was. In fact, I can't find a source citing Revan to be a Guardian and the info we do know about him suggest more so either a Consular or a Sentinel. Although, Malak was absolutely a Guardian. It is emphasized that he was kind of a big dumb brute, but a very talented big dumb brute.
actually, I like Guardian or the old republic Sith Equivalent (Juggernaut/Marauder) best. Maybe because Revan was Guardian. Maybe because I am just like that: fighting desperately against injustice, and becoming either apathic ("apathy is death") or burnt out in the process...
My favorite sect is definitely the Guardians, however I personally believe the Consular sect to be most essential in many regards. Personally I think the practice of having a Jedi Consular as master and a Jedi Guardian as apprentice often yielded the greatest results... The young guardian forced the older consular to get off his ass and become more hands on than many consulars tended to be (their greatest weakness), and the older consular put the breaks on and not only applied but also taught the young guardian the wisdom of diplomacy and resolution vs idealistic escalation in the name of justice. It's win win, however I truly would see myself more as a combination of these two rather than specializing in one or the other (and honestly believe there should have been combination sects... Consular Guardians, Consular Sentinels, and Guardian Sentinels). Frankly I feel the compartmentalization of the Star Wars universe often became it's downfall, and that more integrated as well as integrating parties would have been far more helpful than any one specialization.
Sentinels, I know so very little about their roles other than hunting down dark side threats. What are some of there adventures? Do they have a creed or principles that govern their sect? If so what are they and why? Yeah I would really love to know much more about the Jedi Sentinels. Thanks ✌🏿
Wonder how Jedi Sentinels falling to the dark side would be. They go too far in their search for balance between the classes that they lose sight and destroy themselves attempting to perfect what they lack? That or they become so enveloped in their hunt for evil that they themselves cross the line and become evil? I know Consulars fall to the Dark side when they ignore the will of the force and become perpetuosly arrogant
If they are the most prevalent group of Jedi then most fallen Jedi would come from them just purely based on numbers. You need actual numbers of each and the number of fallen from each to be able to conclusively say that there's a trend.
I'm definitely team Jedi Consular. Even though I am not a pacifist I believe that conflicts can rarely be solved by use of force (just force - not The Force lol). If you defeat your enemy, you haven't solved the underlying problem, you've only taken your enemy's ability to keep fighting. And as soon as your enemy regains his capability to fight, the conflict is going to reignite. The winners of WW1 tried to punish Germany and look how that turned out... And even if you end up victorious, war and armed conflict always create pain and suffering on both sides. So it is best for everyone involved to avoid it altogether. Lastly, two wrongs don't make one right. Killing a murderer is still murder (unless it is a self denfense situation but you know what I am trying to say). When you follow this "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" attitude in dealing out punishment you run a high risk of becoming as bad as the enemy you swore to fight.
That weird Padawan in your class: I like you, you're cool. Don't come to the Jedi Temple tomorrow.
Does that padawan happen to be named skywalker?
@Darth Revan the jedi order is a texas Catholic school confirmed.
Why shouldn't I Bariss?

Be careful when you battle with monsters, lest you become one yourself.

I believe Revan was a Sentinel. In part cause it's specifically emphasized in several sources that Malak was more of a dedicated swordsman than he was. In fact, I can't find a source citing Revan to be a Guardian and the info we do know about him suggest more so either a Consular or a Sentinel. Although, Malak was absolutely a Guardian. It is emphasized that he was kind of a big dumb brute, but a very talented big dumb brute.
I like the Jedi Guardian and Consulars the best. Seeing as how I like swordsmanship I think guardian would suit me best.
didn't know quigon was a guardian seems like he was one of the Jedi who understood the force best in his era
I thought Voss was a sentinel not guardian he's a spy 🤔
actually, I like Guardian or the old republic Sith Equivalent (Juggernaut/Marauder) best. Maybe because Revan was Guardian. Maybe because I am just like that: fighting desperately against injustice, and becoming either apathic ("apathy is death") or burnt out in the process...
People don't appreciate how much lore tgey leaned on in kotor. Disney doesn't have same level of appreciation
My favorite sect is definitely the Guardians, however I personally believe the Consular sect to be most essential in many regards.
Personally I think the practice of having a Jedi Consular as master and a Jedi Guardian as apprentice often yielded the greatest results... The young guardian forced the older consular to get off his ass and become more hands on than many consulars tended to be (their greatest weakness), and the older consular put the breaks on and not only applied but also taught the young guardian the wisdom of diplomacy and resolution vs idealistic escalation in the name of justice. It's win win, however I truly would see myself more as a combination of these two rather than specializing in one or the other (and honestly believe there should have been combination sects... Consular Guardians, Consular Sentinels, and Guardian Sentinels). Frankly I feel the compartmentalization of the Star Wars universe often became it's downfall, and that more integrated as well as integrating parties would have been far more helpful than any one specialization.
So did the Jedi order itself, they were content with themselves and acted in order to maintain their own power.
Sentinels, I know so very little about their roles other than hunting down dark side threats. What are some of there adventures? Do they have a creed or principles that govern their sect? If so what are they and why? Yeah I would really love to know much more about the Jedi Sentinels. Thanks ✌🏿
I thought Anakin fell because he was promised a power to save his wife, not because he seeked justice but went to far
Where’d you find the thumbnail art?
Wonder how Jedi Sentinels falling to the dark side would be. They go too far in their search for balance between the classes that they lose sight and destroy themselves attempting to perfect what they lack? That or they become so enveloped in their hunt for evil that they themselves cross the line and become evil? I know Consulars fall to the Dark side when they ignore the will of the force and become perpetuosly arrogant

Wait a minute..
If they are the most prevalent group of Jedi then most fallen Jedi would come from them just purely based on numbers. You need actual numbers of each and the number of fallen from each to be able to conclusively say that there's a trend.
Love the skyrim jedi mod pic
Love the Video Geetslys!! Revan is an all time favorite and I love to watch your videos whenever you do vids on him!!
I think I would’ve been a Jedi Sentinel
Aayla was a guardian but she ALSO almost fell.
Do an episode an Kit Fisto. He was cool.
Qui-Gon was a consular, not a guardian.
I almost thought you said Quin-Lin i was about to say.
I still love me some Jedi Guardians tho! I'm a blue lightsaber gal thru and thru.
If dooku had lived,do you think he would start another war against the empire? Or stay loyal to Palpatine
So, Pompey the Great probably would have been a dark side risk? Huh.
The largest jedi sect creating the most sith... Wow.
Wait... I thought that Jedi weren't permitted to have sects?! No attachments and whatnot right? 👀😏 Ba-dum-tssss 🥁
Sentinels for life. In fact, any Jedi worth his salt should have basic sentinel training
KEEP UP THE GREAT WIRK
Was qui-gon a guardian wasn't he well known for being a great negotiator (consulator)
I'm definitely team Jedi Consular.
Even though I am not a pacifist I believe that conflicts can rarely be solved by use of force (just force - not The Force lol).
If you defeat your enemy, you haven't solved the underlying problem, you've only taken your enemy's ability to keep fighting.
And as soon as your enemy regains his capability to fight, the conflict is going to reignite.
The winners of WW1 tried to punish Germany and look how that turned out...
And even if you end up victorious, war and armed conflict always create pain and suffering on both sides. So it is best for everyone involved to avoid it altogether.
Lastly, two wrongs don't make one right. Killing a murderer is still murder (unless it is a self denfense situation but you know what I am trying to say). When you follow this "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" attitude in dealing out punishment you run a high risk of becoming as bad as the enemy you swore to fight.
In KOTOR II I have all Prestige classes save but they all start as Guardians. I gotta have my Force Jump. I just got to. 😭😭😭😂😂😂
YOOO I am in the thumbnail
EYY
