I mean, this would explain his calm demeanor during the revenge of the sith. Granted, Yoda was clearly upset over his Jedi brethren being killed but in general, he seemed to compose himself pretty quickly. No, it wasn't just sadness that was in Yoda's expressions during the second half of the film, nearing the total destruction of the Jedi, it was more of a look of self-disappointment and shame. Yes, he fully realised the mistakes that were made but, it was almost in an expected way. I remember being puzzled by that a long time ago when I saw the film in cinema, but again, people deal with grief and shock in different ways, so I just topped it off to that however, in light of seeing Yoda's journey during the clone wars, it actually makes sense. Again, obviously greatly saddened by seeing his fellow Jedi dwindle down in numbers, feeling through the Force as they are being killed but at the same time, not shocked enough in the debilitating way, more like a "it's happened" sort of way. I don't know, I just always found that fascinating.
Keeping the Republic together for over a thousand generations with little to no opposition isn't exactly failing. They did, in fact kept the galaxy in order with no one ever falling from the ranks. I never understood blaming them for their complacency as the reason why it and they fell. Those are words coming straight from a fallen Jedi himself, in other words, from Dooku's POV. The Jedi's fall coincided as Palatine embedded himself within the gov, which was not long. IMO, blaming the Jedi takes away anything that Palp and Plagueis did to UNDERMINE them in the first place. Their form of villainy wasn't taking you on head to head in a boxing ring. They instead used the gov to take it and the Jedi down from within. Think about it. If P&P were to knock at their gates trying to egg them on to fight, it would be counterintuitive. The Republic would immediately see this and the Jedi would have very right to defend themselves and the gov from falling to the Sith. The Jedi didn't choose to take on general positions but were thrust in it. What else could they have done? The fight was BROUGHT to them, they did not seek it. Again, this was P&PS brilliance because it forced the Jedi to go into "attack 1st mode mentality" the one thing P&P used against them and their Code. That's not complacency but malice. The Jedi could have simply sat e war out. But look how it would have made them look to a gov they have kept at peace for over a thousand generations. They were in a lose-lose situation. Sit it out and they get blamed for not defending the peace. Fight it and they risk losing members in battle or through temptation to the dark side. KOTOR II covered this scenario which I think goes well withe the Prequel/Clone Wars situation.
They're complacency led to the infrastructure that thrust the galaxy into a state of perpetual war. Allowing slavery to go on led to factories producing weapons and soldiers (droids) for the war effort. It led to what essentially amounted to slave soldiers (clones). Allowing all of those evils to go on built up into the conflicts that led to their downfall. It's the snowball effect... tons of little problems going unsolved built up into a bigger problem. And it was all because of the Jedi's unwillingness to take a stand against injustices committed by the Republic... a desire to unify the galaxy led to compromise... and compromise leads to a dilution of values... which in turn leads to inaction. That was their weakness and that's why the Sith chose to exploit it through the government... the Sith recognizing that weakness and exploiting it, however masterfully done, doesn't excuse the Jedi for failing to recognize their own weakness and correcting it. Compromise for the sake of unity is often just an excuse to allow evil to persist and almost always leads to bigger problems down the road. This can be seen in actual human history with the 3/5 compromise in the United States right before the Civil War... if you don't know about the compromise... it's a doozy as it said that the south could count slaves as 3/5 of a person when determining how many representatives in congress they should have... and the slaves weren't exactly allowed to vote with the compromise either. This compromise was an effort to keep the union together at the expense of people's lives. This decision compromised the founding values of the United States (freedom, justice for all, etc.) and allowing it to go on for so long has left a permanent scar on the nation. This type of compromise is probably what the writers were thinking of when writing the fall of the Jedi since fiction is usually reflective of life and history (George Lucas himself said he modeled Palpatine after Nixon and the entirety of the original Star Wars trilogy was conceived as a reaction to the Vietnam War). All in all, the Jedi's desire to unify the galaxy led to them making compromises with people who exploited their workers, citizens, and sentient life in general because the act of compromise is the quickest and easiest way to "achieve" that goal. However, compromising on those issues isn't actually achieving that goal... it is a facade. Actually, achieving unification takes hard work and it takes standing up for some values no matter what... even if it means coming into conflict with capitalists, dictators, slavers, etc. And the Jedi didn't do that... they took the easy way out... and that's why they fell.

The story of Yoda's Ketamine addiction is very tragic. I'm glad that he were able to stop with the drugs and deal with his inner demons and visions in the last years of his life to have a happy ending.
Regardless of what would've happened, the jedi did fail because they were too focused on winning the war but they did not know that one of their own was showing signs of the dark side. Even if they noticed the sith had won because they were prepared and grew stronger
Yoda shouldn’t have told the council but he could have told the knights and the guards so that they could’ve been ready and more Jedi would’ve survived
I sometimes wonder if the destruction could have been avoided if Obi-wan had taken the time to ask the Kaminoans if they had security footage of the person claiming to be Sifo-Dais (spelling) rather than rushing off to try and capture Jango Fett. Or asked where the money to fund the clone army originally came from.
He could have at least tried to save a few Jedi. Putting all your faith in Luke and Leia sounds epic, but things happen. He could have set up some enclaves with Jedi who might have followed him.
There is also the question. Could Yoda have changed the future by having this knowledge. Would his telling the council have changed the outcome or was the future fix and he could only walk the path set before him.
I would still have to ask, why couldn't you have at least tried to save the Younglings? As wise and Powerful as he was, he could have probably had some kind of secret plan to at least save as many as he could. Those children did not deserve to pay for the mistakes of the order.
ONLY yoda could function as well as he did with such a sword of damocles over his head. this vision of the coming purge and his insight into the whole of it gives a new edge to his advice to anikin, the sheer resignation of it. in some ways, yoda wasn't even addressing anakin's problems, he simply knew a hurricane of fire and shit was about to occur, and everybody's best chance lie the way of acceptance of where it had all come to and an unbeatable resolve to minimize the resulting carnage as best one can.
Wow! Very well put! I never considered how the Jedi Order has repeatedly needed to be recycled. It would seem that their penchant to remain neutral, only ends up making them manipulatable. Yoda probably became aware that things had gone so far as to where he couldn't do anything about it, and in trying, would only endanger himself.
Isn’t that an aspect of the Light Side of the Force? It’s a force of preservation to allow things flourish and grow but it can also potentially lead to stagnation. I feel as The Father and the Bendu that one shouldn’t only focus on one side of the Force as that’s not how it truly functions.
What a great video! I wish you were on the creative team with Filoni & Favreau. You provide amazing context for the Star Wars universe. Keep up the amazing work.
Vader brought balance to the force taking out the Jedi who lost their ways allowing a new order lead by his son……..and it ends there nothing happens after that if you think stuff did its is a fever dream
It’s ironic that not only did Yoda lead the Jedi and the Jedi council to their doom, but he got advance notice of it but kept the information to himself, and then “managed” to be one of few survivors of Order 66, and then he hid out in a swamp, and in effect let much of the galaxy burn for a couple decades. Could someone please explain why he’s still considered one of the “good guys?” Seriously, I’ll even give him that he knew he couldn’t stop it, but to just stumble forward blindly was just moronic, I mean you would think he could covertly work to prepare for, and help minimize the loses, even if this was simply moving a few younger Jedi, and various Jedi holocrons and/or writings into hiding, while eliminating some of the more dangerous items contained within the vaults of the Jedi temple. The list of force sensitive children across the galaxy is a perfect example of something he should have secured or destroyed
In the long run, the fall of the Jedi was a good thing. Luke's new Jedi order was very strong and had learned from the mistakes from the past order. This is why the force set the Jedi order back on the right path with the purge.
People always seem to think that Anakin did not fulfill the props to see prophecy but he did he brought balance to the force you can't have balance if there's only two or three sith and there was what it looked to be hundreds of Jedi and more and more in training how is that balance that is not balance it's nowhere near balance after Anakin did what he did and it was Yoda Obi-Wan and maybe a few other stragglers here and there balance was brought back to the force so he did fulfill the prophecy and Yoda did the right thing by keeping his mouth shut and allowing the prophecy to be fulfilled
After just finishing Star Wars Cataclysm and him disappearing all throughout phase one and him having more information of the leveler and him calling all of the jedi back to the temple because of the fall of Starlight beacon. I see these episodes in a new light that makes me question Yoda all together.
Dooku is the key to everything he saved the Jedi. Dooku is the First to see through the corruption of the republic and the dogma of the Jedi. He passed his open mind thinking to Qui Gon who passed it to Yoda and Obi Wan who later passed it to Luke who wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes so the Jedi could evolve pass their old mistakes
@@itjustxninja8907 yes but Dooku was more open minded then Yoda. Dooku learned a lot of things from Yoda yes but through him being originally raised as a count he had his own ideas. That’s why he’s more progressive then Yoda. Dooku was an individual thinker like Syfo Dias
Imagine knowing that. Imagine being burdened with that knowledge. “They will almost all die. They will be destroyed. Many good, many not, but they will all die.”
Basically, it was too late to do anything. The damage had been dealt. The cracks had formed and they were beyond repair. The building was crumbling, and the only way to save it was to let it die.
"Tolerating...slavery...and endless wars". Sounds like a 2nd year poli-sci student all full of Dunning-Kruger. Just how does one force the Hutts and Pykes to end slavery without a lot of pew-pew action and likely bloodshed of the oppressed peoples themselves? Sounds real thoughtful when you say it at the frat party though. I think Dooku had long been turned and all he was doing was planting the seeds of doubt. He was never an idealist. He's too smart to say dumb things.
Call it idealism, but for the short term bloodshed, there's much to be gained once slavery is ended and people are liberated. There's never a perfect option, but arguably ruining the Hutts and using the Jedi to oppose institutions that can accurately be termed as 'evil' i.e slavery and human trafficking. Rather than a second year polisci student in full Dunning-Kruger mode, you seem to be far too jaded and cynical, which needs to be tempered with moderate idealism.
@@robbiepaterson4535 Indeed...my comment was more of a reaction to a growing chorus of people who want to say that various characters were right in their damnation of the Jedi. How, in the same sentence, can one accuse the Jedi of tolerating slavery AND endless wars; as if you could end the first thing without leading to the other? Of course, we the audience are supposed to know that Dooku was talking out of his ass but so many will point to his assertion and say "yep, he's got a point!". Apparently the concept of an unreliable narrator isn't heard of anymore.
@@robbiepaterson4535 Not at all! It's fun getting replies from months old comments. I can revisit my mindset at the time and sometimes even realize that I missed the mark, so thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
Yoda on house arrest for saying Qui Gon spoke to him. Ki Aid Mundi: What about the droid attack on the wookies? Yoda: Go I will, I have good relations with the wookies. Jedi Council: Yoda is sentenced to house arrest.
In a galaxy filled with incomprehensible beings, things, and places, it’s honestly crazy the Jedi didn’t think that Qui-Gon Jinn of all people managed to retain his consciousness after death. The man did not play by the rules and very much studied ancient mysticisms, it’s not crazy to think he found light-side ways to immortality. They could move things with their minds and met gods and beings of the force, Qui-Gon being a force ghost should have been Tuesday for them. But ultimately it’s a sign of how rigid and dogmatic that era of the Jedi were that they could dismiss things that were very much possible in their world. Albeit probably because such information was kept under lock and key.
Sorry about the long comment, but I'm kind of a windbag. LOL: When I first saw these episodes I defiantly didn't consider it that way. But in my defense, I binge-watched all of Season 6, so just a few hours prior I had just seen Fives try so hard to reveal the truth, save the Jedi and Clones, and stop the Sith plan, only for him to die. So then to see Yoda learn it all or a decent amount of the plan and still do nothing to stop it, it kind of feels like it spits in the face of Fives and all he went through to try and save the galaxy. Later I did consider Yoda's reasoning in a similar mane to this, and while I did see some of the points of allowing this to happen, I still don't agree with it, because Yoda's inaction leads to the death of many great Jedi like Plo Koon and Depa Bolga, and either of the deaths of Clone or them being turned into mindless slaves thanks to the Inhibitor Chips, all of which makes me mad and makes me a little angry at Yoda for his inaction. Now, it is true, that the Jedi Order during the time of the Clone Wars had many flaws to it, but there were still many great Jedi like Obi-Wan, Plo Koon Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, and even Anakin before his fall, that we're still good people trying their hardest to protect and help the galaxy. Sure there were problems, like you said, despite the Republics' Anti-Slavery laws several places still had slaves because the Jedi and Republic just didn't have the manpower at the time to deal with every local planet and issue, but when they could they did the best they could to help. One of my favorite moments is when the Jedi and Clones saved Ahsokas people from the Zygerian Slavers in that season 4 Clone Wars arc. Again, the Republic and Jedi Order at the time had their problems and certain people definitely needed to be gotten rid of for things to change for the better, looking at you Mundi and to a lesser extent Mace. But I still had some hope it could have been saved if they had managed to stop Sidious in time, like by discovering the chips or Anakin not falling because that would put a big monkey wrench in the grand plan. There were even people in the Star Wars Universe itself that saw it that, a good number of Rebels joined because they remembered a better time before the Empire, the time of the Jedi and the Republic, sure it wasn't great, but it was still better than the Empire. So while I do understand Yoda's reasons and can see the merit in some, I still personally disagree with him not doing anything, he could have at least told some Jedi to be caution at least to save a few more.
The one question that I have is : since yoda when to so much training to be a force ghost when did the skywalkers and obiwan did this same training to also become force ghosts ... most of all anakin...
they already thought he was losing it, he knew they were beyond accepting the differing point of view, he taught them this himself for nearly 1000 years, he saw his failure and learned.
Yoda also knows what happened to Jedi Master Sifo Diyas--a fate which he himself endorsed, no less. If he came forth citing that he, too, had visions, then what befell of Sifo Diyas would befall of him, too. He needed to remain in his place within the Jedi Order so that _WHEN_ it fell, he would be among the last few remaining to pick up the pieces and get back on the path to rebuilding it anew.
Yes, it wasn't selfishness that guided Yoda to stay silent, but the knowledge that he was still *needed* by The Force to pass on the knowledge and help keep the true light side legacy of the Jedi going into the future.

The story of Yoda's Ketamine addiction is very tragic. I'm glad that he were able to stop with the drugs and deal with his inner demons and visions in the last years of his life to have a happy ending.
Regardless of what would've happened, the jedi did fail because they were too focused on winning the war but they did not know that one of their own was showing signs of the dark side.
Even if they noticed the sith had won because they were prepared and grew stronger
Yoda was on ketamine, he knew the order would think he was tripping

SHHHHH. That's basically the answer to every prequel question.
@@geetslys True true.
But also holy shit, Geetsly’s responded to me.
*_proceeds to make fanboy noises_*
"So that the movie can happen!"
Yoda shouldn’t have told the council but he could have told the knights and the guards so that they could’ve been ready and more Jedi would’ve survived
I sometimes wonder if the destruction could have been avoided if Obi-wan had taken the time to ask the Kaminoans if they had security footage of the person claiming to be Sifo-Dais (spelling) rather than rushing off to try and capture Jango Fett. Or asked where the money to fund the clone army originally came from.
I'm pretty sure the Jedi would not like that at all could be scared
There was also a tendency of the council to imprison jedi who had persistent visions of the future.
I searched up “Yoda Ketamines” and this is the first video that showed up
Yoda on ketamine
"Is it possible to learn this power?"
"Trust me, you must"
"Ketamine addiction, it is not"
Because evil yoda is a gremlin.
Regular Yoda may have been a gremlin.
Ketamine, I used. Qui-Gon, I saw!
He could have at least tried to save a few Jedi. Putting all your faith in Luke and Leia sounds epic, but things happen. He could have set up some enclaves with Jedi who might have followed him.
They might have just thought he was huffing spice again

The Senate was the council’s biggest fear.
I agree but the counsels have you come a political even if they were not supposed to be.
There is also the question. Could Yoda have changed the future by having this knowledge. Would his telling the council have changed the outcome or was the future fix and he could only walk the path set before him.
7:14 same goes for America
Do nothing I must. A muppet I must be. An awesome muppet 😎😎
the true nature of ketamine...
Although I would like to see what would happen if he did. Yoda would be nailing his 95 Thesis to the temple door.
There's no such thing as a bad ketamine trip, exept for me cause I'm allergic
I would still have to ask, why couldn't you have at least tried to save the Younglings? As wise and Powerful as he was, he could have probably had some kind of secret plan to at least save as many as he could. Those children did not deserve to pay for the mistakes of the order.
Reminds me Darth Traya's prophecy.
ONLY yoda could function as well as he did with such a sword of damocles over his head. this vision of the coming purge and his insight into the whole of it gives a new edge to his advice to anikin, the sheer resignation of it. in some ways, yoda wasn't even addressing anakin's problems, he simply knew a hurricane of fire and shit was about to occur, and everybody's best chance lie the way of acceptance of where it had all come to and an unbeatable resolve to minimize the resulting carnage as best one can.
*"Oops so sorry you wanted a meme answer gotcha!"*
Wow! Very well put! I never considered how the Jedi Order has repeatedly needed to be recycled. It would seem that their penchant to remain neutral, only ends up making them manipulatable.
Yoda probably became aware that things had gone so far as to where he couldn't do anything about it, and in trying, would only endanger himself.
Sometimes when something becomes too corrupt it must run its course, fall and then correct itself.
Isn’t that an aspect of the Light Side of the Force? It’s a force of preservation to allow things flourish and grow but it can also potentially lead to stagnation. I feel as The Father and the Bendu that one shouldn’t only focus on one side of the Force as that’s not how it truly functions.
They were mysteriously handed a slave army at the exact moment they needed it and just ran with it. They deserved what they got.
One of your coolest and deepest videos, love it
U sure he just wasn't looking for the winning lottery numbers and got depressed when he couldn't get them?
What a great video! I wish you were on the creative team with Filoni & Favreau. You provide amazing context for the Star Wars universe. Keep up the amazing work.
Vader brought balance to the force taking out the Jedi who lost their ways allowing a new order lead by his son……..and it ends there nothing happens after that if you think stuff did its is a fever dream
Yoda was the pillar to teach Luke so the Order could survive.
It’s ironic that not only did Yoda lead the Jedi and the Jedi council to their doom, but he got advance notice of it but kept the information to himself, and then “managed” to be one of few survivors of Order 66, and then he hid out in a swamp, and in effect let much of the galaxy burn for a couple decades.
Could someone please explain why he’s still considered one of the “good guys?”
Seriously, I’ll even give him that he knew he couldn’t stop it, but to just stumble forward blindly was just moronic, I mean you would think he could covertly work to prepare for, and help minimize the loses, even if this was simply moving a few younger Jedi, and various Jedi holocrons and/or writings into hiding, while eliminating some of the more dangerous items contained within the vaults of the Jedi temple. The list of force sensitive children across the galaxy is a perfect example of something he should have secured or destroyed
Because it was actually just a bad Ketamine trip
A RUclips video with zero dislikes? Rarest occurrence on the planet 😂
Ya jinxed it
" Yoda's bad ketamine trip " 🤣🤣
In the long run, the fall of the Jedi was a good thing. Luke's new Jedi order was very strong and had learned from the mistakes from the past order. This is why the force set the Jedi order back on the right path with the purge.
People always seem to think that Anakin did not fulfill the props to see prophecy but he did he brought balance to the force you can't have balance if there's only two or three sith and there was what it looked to be hundreds of Jedi and more and more in training how is that balance that is not balance it's nowhere near balance after Anakin did what he did and it was Yoda Obi-Wan and maybe a few other stragglers here and there balance was brought back to the force so he did fulfill the prophecy and Yoda did the right thing by keeping his mouth shut and allowing the prophecy to be fulfilled
While the execution of ideas in the prequels wasn't great, the ideas themselves are freakin' brilliant!
Yes, everyone is aware of this at this point. BTW I always loved em anyway.
After just finishing Star Wars Cataclysm and him disappearing all throughout phase one and him having more information of the leveler and him calling all of the jedi back to the temple because of the fall of Starlight beacon. I see these episodes in a new light that makes me question Yoda all together.
How do you keep posting these amazing vids daily bruuuh
"Did you find anything to help us win the war, Yoda."
"You wouldn't believe me, if i told you."
I think yoda was heart broken and depressed that the he has become corrputed as I always say with great power comes great corruption
The illusion of choice. It was the perfect trap. The only way out was to lose part of yourself.
i had always wondered why he didn’t say anything until i really sat and thought about it and you said it all
why didn't he tell them about his ketamine addiction
Something worth reflecting IRL…
Any real world parallels in one of your other channels?
The order was Not dead
It had already dug its grave
Big up my man Yoda
An epiphany is a sudden realization of great truth.
Dooku is the key to everything he saved the Jedi. Dooku is the First to see through the corruption of the republic and the dogma of the Jedi. He passed his open mind thinking to Qui Gon who passed it to Yoda and Obi Wan who later passed it to Luke who wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes so the Jedi could evolve pass their old mistakes
You do realize yoda is count dookus master
@@itjustxninja8907 yes but Dooku was more open minded then Yoda. Dooku learned a lot of things from Yoda yes but through him being originally raised as a count he had his own ideas. That’s why he’s more progressive then Yoda. Dooku was an individual thinker like Syfo Dias
Maybe Qui Gon didn't mean they were gonna be destroyed by the clones and Sith but that they lost their way and was already failing
Imagine knowing that. Imagine being burdened with that knowledge. “They will almost all die. They will be destroyed. Many good, many not, but they will all die.”
Yoga - in the force we trust we must
One thing I remember is that the Jedi believe the bringing balance means that there is no "evil".
Basically, it was too late to do anything. The damage had been dealt. The cracks had formed and they were beyond repair. The building was crumbling, and the only way to save it was to let it die.
I told you he DOES NOT MISS! great video man
"Tolerating...slavery...and endless wars". Sounds like a 2nd year poli-sci student all full of Dunning-Kruger. Just how does one force the Hutts and Pykes to end slavery without a lot of pew-pew action and likely bloodshed of the oppressed peoples themselves? Sounds real thoughtful when you say it at the frat party though.
I think Dooku had long been turned and all he was doing was planting the seeds of doubt. He was never an idealist. He's too smart to say dumb things.
I like you. The Sith are awfully judgey for guys who go around slaughtering innocents.
Call it idealism, but for the short term bloodshed, there's much to be gained once slavery is ended and people are liberated. There's never a perfect option, but arguably ruining the Hutts and using the Jedi to oppose institutions that can accurately be termed as 'evil' i.e slavery and human trafficking.
Rather than a second year polisci student in full Dunning-Kruger mode, you seem to be far too jaded and cynical, which needs to be tempered with moderate idealism.
@@robbiepaterson4535 Indeed...my comment was more of a reaction to a growing chorus of people who want to say that various characters were right in their damnation of the Jedi.
How, in the same sentence, can one accuse the Jedi of tolerating slavery AND endless wars; as if you could end the first thing without leading to the other? Of course, we the audience are supposed to know that Dooku was talking out of his ass but so many will point to his assertion and say "yep, he's got a point!". Apparently the concept of an unreliable narrator isn't heard of anymore.
@@kdub3890 Yeah, fair one, that makes a lot of sense. Apologies for my assertions.
@@robbiepaterson4535 Not at all! It's fun getting replies from months old comments. I can revisit my mindset at the time and sometimes even realize that I missed the mark, so thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
“Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.” - Yoda
It was pretty much too late
Yoda on house arrest for saying Qui Gon spoke to him.
Ki Aid Mundi: What about the droid attack on the wookies?
Yoda: Go I will, I have good relations with the wookies.
Jedi Council: Yoda is sentenced to house arrest.
In a galaxy filled with incomprehensible beings, things, and places, it’s honestly crazy the Jedi didn’t think that Qui-Gon Jinn of all people managed to retain his consciousness after death. The man did not play by the rules and very much studied ancient mysticisms, it’s not crazy to think he found light-side ways to immortality. They could move things with their minds and met gods and beings of the force, Qui-Gon being a force ghost should have been Tuesday for them.
But ultimately it’s a sign of how rigid and dogmatic that era of the Jedi were that they could dismiss things that were very much possible in their world. Albeit probably because such information was kept under lock and key.
Bad ketamine trip nothing, Yoda was meditating
Sorry about the long comment, but I'm kind of a windbag. LOL:
When I first saw these episodes I defiantly didn't consider it that way. But in my defense, I binge-watched all of Season 6, so just a few hours prior I had just seen Fives try so hard to reveal the truth, save the Jedi and Clones, and stop the Sith plan, only for him to die. So then to see Yoda learn it all or a decent amount of the plan and still do nothing to stop it, it kind of feels like it spits in the face of Fives and all he went through to try and save the galaxy.
Later I did consider Yoda's reasoning in a similar mane to this, and while I did see some of the points of allowing this to happen, I still don't agree with it, because Yoda's inaction leads to the death of many great Jedi like Plo Koon and Depa Bolga, and either of the deaths of Clone or them being turned into mindless slaves thanks to the Inhibitor Chips, all of which makes me mad and makes me a little angry at Yoda for his inaction.
Now, it is true, that the Jedi Order during the time of the Clone Wars had many flaws to it, but there were still many great Jedi like Obi-Wan, Plo Koon Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, and even Anakin before his fall, that we're still good people trying their hardest to protect and help the galaxy. Sure there were problems, like you said, despite the Republics' Anti-Slavery laws several places still had slaves because the Jedi and Republic just didn't have the manpower at the time to deal with every local planet and issue, but when they could they did the best they could to help. One of my favorite moments is when the Jedi and Clones saved Ahsokas people from the Zygerian Slavers in that season 4 Clone Wars arc. Again, the Republic and Jedi Order at the time had their problems and certain people definitely needed to be gotten rid of for things to change for the better, looking at you Mundi and to a lesser extent Mace. But I still had some hope it could have been saved if they had managed to stop Sidious in time, like by discovering the chips or Anakin not falling because that would put a big monkey wrench in the grand plan. There were even people in the Star Wars Universe itself that saw it that, a good number of Rebels joined because they remembered a better time before the Empire, the time of the Jedi and the Republic, sure it wasn't great, but it was still better than the Empire.
So while I do understand Yoda's reasons and can see the merit in some, I still personally disagree with him not doing anything, he could have at least told some Jedi to be caution at least to save a few more.
Yep Yoda be on drugs 😎
When you said Yoda's ketamine trip I laughed lol
The one question that I have is : since yoda when to so much training to be a force ghost when did the skywalkers and obiwan did this same training to also become force ghosts ... most of all anakin...
More quality content. Thank you Geetsly's.
Great vid but why is this the first result when searching for "Yoda ketamines"
On the planet Ach-To, one could say that the Jedi we know are not the 'real' Jedi Order. It was a splinter faction that grew in size and power.
Yoda: seen the Jedi fall I have, maybe some younglings I can save? Nah fuck em.
they already thought he was losing it, he knew they were beyond accepting the differing point of view, he taught them this himself for nearly 1000 years, he saw his failure and learned.
Yoda also knows what happened to Jedi Master Sifo Diyas--a fate which he himself endorsed, no less. If he came forth citing that he, too, had visions, then what befell of Sifo Diyas would befall of him, too. He needed to remain in his place within the Jedi Order so that _WHEN_ it fell, he would be among the last few remaining to pick up the pieces and get back on the path to rebuilding it anew.
Yes, it wasn't selfishness that guided Yoda to stay silent, but the knowledge that he was still *needed* by The Force to pass on the knowledge and help keep the true light side legacy of the Jedi going into the future.
That's insane! Syfo dyas died because Dooku orchestrated his assassination, that doesn't relate to Yoda's case at all!
Where tf does 2:53 come from lmao
