It’s understandable that people don’t believe or know of the Jedi, even if it has been 53 years. The galaxy has trillions of people in it. There were only a couple thousand Jedi in their prime. It’s like me trying to preach to you of a religion or spiritual lifestyle like “chi”. Even Han Solo didn’t believe in it and he was alive when the Jedi were in the thousands. It’s easy to think they were a myth created by the republic.
Imagine if China invaded the US and the rest of the world and they were talking about how they were able to keep the peace using a couple dozen super commandos with mind control. You’d tell them to fuck off with their nonsense.
@@bonjanglevash Except that Han knew they existed even if he didn't believe in their prowess. Also, there's no way Mandalorians wouldn't know about the Jedi. The only way for them to not know would be if they lost all knowledge of their own culture and history and that all the people who knew died (and in this case that would need to be ALL Mandalorians due to how close this point is to the Clone War). Also, even though most people never got to see a Jedi in their entire lives, most people still knew about the Jedi. They were either famous or infamous depending on the place. The Jedi being a thing was common knowledge. Common knowledge doesn't disappear out of nowhere.
@@TheGrizzlo503 that still doesn't work . Just because she is a palpatine doesn't explain how she knew skills that took masters a long time to get correct... Disney treated force abilities like ppl in the matrix where just thinking about something had it immediately downloaded into the brain..
I hate the sequels with all my heart. They are an insult to the legacy of George Lucas. But there is one thing I don't agree with regarding the arguments made in this video. The Jedi weren't as present as one might think, during the era of the republic. Many civilians of the republic have never even met a Jedi in their lifetime. The only real public exposure they had with the Jedi took place during the clone wars, where they rose to prominence and even that was more hearsay than anything else.
except they were constantly on the news in coruscant, and the jedi had been written into common literature after the jedi vs sith war thousands of yeas before.
@@stuckingachahell most systems are not well connected with corussant and most people in star wars live in poor condition. Look at the people at Tatooine look at the people in Yavin. Poorness, slavery are all verry present in star wars even most of the people in corussant lived in slums. 90+% of the planets are shitholes and their are trillion of sentient lifeforms around the galaxy. For example everyone knows Tom Brady here hes in the news and constantly winning. I dont think many people in 3. World countrys know about him.
@@TristanRow except the fact that everyone on Tatooine already knew that the Jedi existed. Where is the logic? The people from the republic, ie Qui gon jin, didn't even know that tatooine existed, but the people on Tatooine knew that Jedi existed.
Honestly ray shud have cut off a limb or even ended up killing her self with the way she just swing the lightsaber around during her "training", seriously go and whatch that shit is so stupid - ah ha done with training with my lightsaber for today and ever, time to do a twirl with the damm thing still on right next to my face- what can go wrong?
Imagine Darth Maul singing Cha mone, he he.. Shamone.. 🤣😂😅🤣 Elvis only had 3 dance moves. MJ had at least 100 moves. Elvis would be a padawan, a beginner. MJ would be stronger than Darth Maul.
Han Solo thought the Force to be an old-timey hokey religion. He was from a Core world with it's own Jedi enclave. He also was eight when the Jedi Purge began. Lucas clearly intended for the Jedi to be minorly known and largely obscure past RotS.
Pretty sure the Empire forbade any mention of jedi or the force just like any respectable dictatorship would do to make sure no one gets any funny ideas.
I mean, how much do you remember from when you were 8? He seems to know what a Jedi is supposed to be, but doubts they are actually powerful space wizards who can block blasters with a 'laser sword' and change the minds of people/throw objects with telekinesis. Makes sense to me, he never saw a Jedi for real, aside from maybe Imperial propaganda claiming they were evil and full of crap.
It is actaully quite realistic. For example, let's take WW2. USSR played most significant role in WW2, and was the one who letteraly ended it and the US joined the conflict when Soviet forces were already capable of destroying Nazi Germany without the US support. It could have taken little more time but eventually it would have happened. However, due to the American anti-soviet propaganda launched during the Cold War Americans mostly don't even know that.
@@vr9591 People don't like to acknowledge they all live in their own Plato's cave; nor how easy it is to shape the view of a young person if you control the education system. 100% the Empire likely suppressed any positive education about the Jedi. And anyone stupid enough to make a fuss of 'this is not how the Jedi were' would likely be dragged off and dealt with. And that's before you even factor in stuff like force mind tricks, anyone making a big fuss? "There were no Jedi, they never existed." Boom, problem solved.
Well Yoda is a very rare species, and Mando was in a very strict hidden religion. So this show has a excuse, unlike the sequel trilogy. And when she said Eons past, she meant the fact Mandalorians and Jedi haven't fought directly for eons, but we're enemies of the Mandalorians.
Aye, you can even see this when he meets other Mandalorians who isn't super religious. Bo-fucking-Katan and he didn't know who she was. That tells you that his sect of mando's is more of a cult that ignore most of their own history. They're probably the offset survivors of Mauls mando's that the other mando's fought against.
I agree except for one thing. His parents were killed by the separatist army so I find it very hard to believe he didn't hear about the jedi where he lived during his upbringing before his parents were killed.
And not just Mando, it seems like everyone in the Mandalorian has heard of Mandalorians through stories but the same doesn't apply for the Jedi. I still like the show but something to think about.
Yea and wouldnt the mandalorains who trained him teach them their history? Does no one converse in disney star wars outside of scenes they are in or what? You would think they had some kind of education or at the very least they have traditions of teaching the younger generations mechnical skills and basic galactic history. It is pretty much like not knowing the navy seals were in viet nam, a person new to that knowledge wouldnt question if the seals were real, they would just be unfamiliar with what exactly they do. The collective unconcious allows us to cultivate information from our surroundings, like kids are aware of the miltary, even if they dont exactly know what that kind of work entails. If they saw it, or were told about it, they wouldnt be unsure of its existence, they may question the force like we question religion, but they would be aware of its existence. The disney universe, is way to inconsistent, and doesnt really get the universe as a whole, they are starting to it seems because it seems more people are actually getting into the old stuff, like training, thank the force, etc but they still have a massive misunderstanding of the character dynamics and why people loved SW so much. For me, it was the lead characters.
@@mtgleam8723 well he was just a boy when the attack happened as was super traumatised to the point that he keeps reliving it. Only thing he remembers is death watch saving him, so anything he heard about the jedi would probably be forgotten as a boy. Also in the show the Mandalorian there are a lot of people that know about the force or talk about it/ the sayings. May the force be with you, thank the force ect ect. So it isn't hard to see other people knowing about the jedi and Mandalorians because they aren't truly cut off from the rest of the galaxy. Remember, the mando is in a cult, he doesn't even know his own people's true history which speaks a lot. He doesn't know about the dark saber which is a huge part of their culture. Doesn't know Bo-Katan who was literally the sister of the leader of Mandalore. Doesn't understand that not all Mandalorians have the same reverence of not removing their helmet. If Din is part of the cultish offshoot of death watch then we can see where his history came from. It came from them ignoring the force, ignoring the pacsfis part after their defeat of the jedi. It comes from trying to overthrow Mandalore and having their own people tear in two. He literally knows none of this because his cult doesn't teach him this and keeps to themselves underground, only one of them being allowed up on the surface at a time. Around this timeline Mandalore would be rebuilding after they fought against the Empire, which his cult has no part of. He is very isolated of the known galaxy and keeps to the outer rim, which news travels much slower. Already thought about it and it really seems it is only Din and his cult of mando's that are really in the dark. Everyone else knows what a jedi and Mandalorians are
Not everyone knew the Jedi because it's an entire galaxy and all the Jedi that existed never went to every planet and people did not believe it. The armorer is talking about old old history with eons ago war that had ended between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. (I do not like the sequels at all but this kinda makes sense cause not everyone witnessed the force powers directly and most people would not believe the stories, because if I told you right now that there were wizards with telekinesis and I was the only witness would you believe me most likely no) I agree with most of your points on the sequels but not this one.
@@operatorarchangel Jedi were present in the senate, work on official diplomatic missions for the high chancellor of the republic and were generals in a huge war across the galaxy. And everything happend in a time with hyperspace travel, holo projectors and transmissions that reached several star systems. You have to be intentionally shielded from information in order to don't know the Jedi.
@@lars9925 and the only power that could suppress that information is the rebellion, because they are the ones that destroyed all the institutions and the economy and made it so the bulk of humanity is enslaved or struggling to survive.
It’s true. Even Watto doesn’t actually believe in the Jedi in TPM. He calls Qui-Gon a Jedi sarcastically. It’s just a myth to him. It’s like how you can ask someone if they’re psychic, even though you don’t actually believe that to be the case.
@@nicholaskinkaid Maybe it is what he was saying, but I think he was saying it was just some fiction story. I am saying they did know Jedis were real, just didn't believe that their beliefs were real, not that they never existed.
I think the “cultist” origin of Mando is the only reason I’m alright with him not knowing the full truth. But I hope later episodes of the Mandalorian will include more Jedi history.
Probably yeah and there's not much unbelievable about it. Most people in the galaxy have no clue about the differences between Jedi and Sith, so I wouldn't wonder if their lack of knowledge regarding the Jedi is a thing at the same time.
Mando not knowing about the jedi makes sense. He was part of a cult, he literally didn't even know that regular mandalorians can take off their helmets
Yeah that makes sense. I also figured that since the Republic didn't have much influence in the outer rim that the Jedi wouldn't be known there or just something that was rumoured
When the Armorer mentions sorcerers from eons past fighting Mandalore the Great she’s talking about battles that happened more then 3000 years before the events of the show
At least 3300 years, maybe more; and Mandalore has basically been fractured ever since with groups like the Death Watch and Din's adoptive cult all vying for power. Who knows what they taught him, or what they are aware of. tHey might have been hiding under a rock in the unknown regions for millennia since Mandalore got wrecked; only to pop back to the surface after the Jedi were wiped out.
@@oldspicewhistle8191 revan and darth nihilus were suppose to make an appearance in rise of skywalker and there's a remake coming up so they're canon just not referenced all that much
The Mandalorian takes place mostly in the outer rim, where jedi would rarely visit and were not believed to exist by most people even while they were active, and Din was raised in a cult, so no shit these characters don't know much about jedi
Din, like many still alive, was around during the Clone Wars and was old enough to have heard something about the Jedi. He was raised in an ultra traditional sect of Mandalorians, so there's no way he wouldn't have heard of the same tales as the armory woman, who is a major figure in that same sect. He regularly travels the galaxy as a bounty hunter in the aftermath of Return of the *Jedi.* There's no way he wouldn't have heard of Luke and the Jedi, unless the Rebels kept what happened hidden for literally no reason, especially since Luke is supposed to follow Yoda's command to pass on what he has learned and revive the Jedi Order. It doesn't make any sense for Din and everyone else to be so ignorant of the Jedi. And the Outer Rim is no excuse. Tatooine is an Outer Rim world and even slave boy Anakin had heard of the Jedi.
@@enemytruck9798 no because thats her job she basically a spiritual leader for Mandalorians, aswell as the one that fixes their armor and weapon, much like how a clan elder is passed down every generation so is the armorer its their job. her title is more important then her name which im assuming the person who becomes the armorer leaves behind because they dont need it.
People know luke as a pilot who destroyed death star. Not a jedi during civil war but after that luke go on his journey to create new jedi order. So i guess people really don't know about Jedi
@@alfredvickers4054 1. Good point But they KNOW abaut the jedi!Of course they think they are a myth because IN THAT RIM the republic and jedi didn't have so much influence and I think that is why ashoka is hiding there. 2. The jedi and the mandalorians were MORTAL ENEMIES! Do you really think the ultra traditional mandalorian cult would like to speak abaut their mortal enemies? 3. Din was raised at that rim and probably prefeer to act as a bounty hunter at that rim because he knows it very well.
Rey is given everything in the sequels without deserving it, because that's how the people in charge *cough* Kathleen Kennedy *cough* Jar Jar Abrams *cough* got into their positions.
Not only that, but its how Kathleen Kennedy thought young girls would be most inspired... The super powerful female lead was supposed to be an inspiration, but imo a struggle, or hard fought journey would be sm better. Not to mention that Rey has some of the most poorly choreographed lightsaber duels and fight too, so even though she is "powerful," you can't even be proud of her victories.
@@carterhamilton4710 True, she wins by using a lightsaber as a freaking baseball bat, I could be a more elegant lightsaber duelist if I would practice with a stick ;-;
Rey is just like a mad 5 year old throughout the whole new trilogy. I basically disregard the new trilogy because of how inaccurate they are to star wars. Rogue One, The Mandalorian and Solo I do like though. They actually feel like star wars movies!
I think your oversimplification of "Jedi existed recently, so everyone must believe in the Jedi" is a bit unfair. To quote Han Solo in Star Wars "I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense."... This is how the average person in the time of the OT thought of the force and Jedi, so no wonder 10 to 30 years removed from that people are a bit confused. Also, in a galaxy of Millions of inhabited planets with each having potentially billions of residents compared to the prequels 10,000 Jedi and the original trilogies handful, I'm not surprised not everyone believes or even knows about the Jedi.
Thank you for saying this. People get so blinded by the fact that they hate the sequels that they forget that a lot of aspects of the sequels flow directly from the OT like Han's like in a New Hope. I get people don't like the sequels for many reasons but this is just nitpicking that gets rendered irrelevant when you look at the saga as a whole.
Yeah, I don't think Disney's writing is good either, but its obvious that this kind of viewpoint of the Jedi has always been around, really, this kind of confusion and "plot hole" is better attributed to the prequels representation of the Jedi and their power than anything else.
We also see that, among the officers of the Empire, while Vader was a powerful figure, people didn't think much of his "antiquated religion". So yeah, it seems to have been kind of obscure at this point. And presumably, the Empire would have suppressed information about them. Think "Star Twitter" or "Spacebook".
I really like your content, but I have to nit pick one thing that you seem to not understand. That scene from the mandalorian where the smith is talking about a war from eons past, is legit from eon past. Like old republic era, thousands of years before the prequels. Not just the 30+ years from the prequels to the OT.
@@ThomVercetti out of all the Sequel writer's Rian Johnson understands the setting and history the best, I'm thoroughly excited for the future of Disney Star Wars.
Yeah the guy who made this video fails to realize that the Jedi Order fell and Anakin/The Emperor/The Empire spent a couple decades trying to completely erase the Jedi Order's existence from the galaxy, not to mention, the Jedi didn't even have a foothold as large as he seems to think, nor were they universally accepted even where they did have one. Go back to KotOR and you find out they were vilified for eons because of the Jedi Civil War. He also doesn't seem to understand that Gisney made the Expanded Universe non-canon, so who really knows what kind of canon they're building around these days. Jon Favreau is saving Star Wars single-handedly with the Mandalorian as it stands. A foundling Mandalorian would of course have never had dealing with any Jedi - He's at most in his early to mid-30's and more likely in his late 20's - early 30's. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire, after Anakin's atonement and before Luke's new Jedi Order. He would never have even come close to interacting with a Jedi since there's only a handful of them left, and Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan all died too so there's basically Ahsoka Tano and Luke at this point with a few stragglers here and there but nowhere to be found.
@@DynamicThreads You create a strawman to then beat it to the ground. Great job. The only thing he used were movies which establish jedi as a guardians of peace. There are people that were alive during the fall of the jedi ffs. Disney seems to totally forget about that. Also, the Mandolorian is such a mess of a writing it amazes me just how loved this series is becoming.
@@mat199622 It's been a minimum of 36 years between Episode III and the start of Mandalorian. Anakin killed almost every Jedi or force sensitive being he encountered. In Episode IV, there is literally a scene where an Empire commander says Darth Vader's "Sad devotion to that ancient religion" in reference to "The Force" hasn't helped him conjure up the stolen plans for the Death Star... It's quite possibly the most famous scene in Star Wars history. "I find your lack of faith disturbing" ring a bell? It's only been 2 decades between Episode III and A New Hope... And already, in those 20 years, the "Force" has become a myth and Jedi have become a fairy tale. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about in all honesty.
@Dynamic threads Oh fvckoff with this “all the Jedi died” bs. You seem to want storylines to follow the OT films 100% when it can’t. The prequels and every other media, they had to expand BEYOND the OT films. There’s no way every single one of these “space wizards” would have died. It’s long been canon there were survivors or those that went in hiding. Also it’s a universally large galaxy. So that nonsense of no Jedi can piss off. Lastly, The Mandalorian isn’t Disney’s saving grace. It’s honestly not even all that great. It’s B tier at most. Like someone said, messy writing, and personally I can’t stand that the show and protagonist can’t be it’s own thing without baby Yoda.
Jedi were a myth to most commoners, even when Jedi were at their peak it was hard for most random farmers to believe that there are folks who can do anything with the Force
@@liamlinson7563 The clone wars weren't happening on every corner of every planet. There are places a lot more relevant to a war than others which are largely unaffected by it. Also, Empire propaganda
@@Hobby_Technology ww2 wasnt happening in every and yet a lot of people still remember it, also propaganda doesnt make you forget things especially a galaxy wide conflict like the clone wars
Did ya'll even watch Episode 1? Where in outer rim shithole like Tatooine, everyone and their mother knew the Jedi? Where did this stupid take come from?
@@liamlinson7563 Sure, so people heard about these wars that were happening. Maybe they heard that the generals leading the clone troopers were Jedi, and had magical powers, but that is a hard thing to believe unless you witness it for yourself. Remember just how huge the galactic population is, and how few Jedi there were. Was it around 1 in 100 million people that were a Jedi? Some entire species seemed to have no or just a very small number of Jedi. And for most of the time Jedi are quite inconspicuous. They dress in simple cloaks. They use their powers subtly so as not to draw attention. Even in battle, besides deflecting blaster bolts with their lightsabers, they mostly would have been commanding the armies, not using their more ostentatious powers, and the people around them to witness it were clone troopers and droids. It may well be common knowledge that the Jedi existed, but it's reasonable for Han Solo and others to be hugely skeptical of the truth, and believe they were religious nutters. There were probably many different religions in the Star Wars universe, almost all of them at odds with reality and every other religion. You might hear from people who did witness a Jedi in person every other year, if you kept your ear to the ground, but it would still just be hearsay and the details easily doubted. Think about when Obi Wan and Anakin visited Naboo the first time. Lots of rumours probably spread around Naboo about who the people visiting were, but they really were visiting the upper echelons, and their Jedi abilities were only demonstrated in close quarters with enemies.
When are they going to fire kathleen and just put Dave Filoni in charge. It would be better for everybody: The fanbase gets what they want, Disney would get more money and everyone would just be happy
@@Swaelo Facts. They just wanna expose people to the SJW ways and get them accustomed to it. It works good for them especially since Disney is a platform for kids. The social brainwashing shall continue.
Bad idea giving a position like that to Dave Filoni, he’s already got enough on his hands being the next generation of Lucas. The last thing he should do is take a job that isn’t fitting for his talents.
Filoni is a male feminist that speaks at feminist covententions about how 'the force is female' and the further pushing of kathleens narrative, I dont ever want to see him in charge even if he was doing it to just appease her it shows he has no spine. Jon Favreau I would be up for, I think most of the success of this show is from his side.
Yeah but remember Darth maul ruled mandalore? It is obvious people lived under his rule know that he is a force wielder don't they? Mando cult was created after siege of mandalore?🤔(not sure when).
@@monishvj5172 no, they didn’t know about him. Remember, he used Almec as a puppet ruler, since ruling directly would bring the attention of the Jedi Council.
Tryhard Nub yes In son of dathomir. The council knew maul was head of the mandalorians but mandalore had political amnesty from the clone wars. Which no invasion could take place on mandalore until the 3rd year of the war.
@@monishvj5172 The Cult in the Mandalorian is just the remnants of Death Watch that continued to serve under Maul and then eventually continued within small numbers after Bo-Katan had become Mandalore and before the Purge (As seen in the Mandalorian). It's entirely possible that only the people who either fought Maul (Nite-Owls) or were in Death Watch would ever know that it was him.
The thing about the jedi is that when the empire took over, they literally wiped out any information about the jedi and rumors were only told between people. Also he doesnt know about mandalores history is because the watch only wanted to tell the foundlings what they needed to know to survive or we will find out more as the series continues.
yeah and it dosnt seem like they had the internet back then in the galaxy far away a long time ago. even there hologram broadcasts seems as limited as ham radio. so noone is walking around with a smartphone and access to all knowledge like we do. its easy to make fun of people for being ignorent when there is no internet. and yeah it has been like 20 years since the emprie wiped the jedi out, older people would remember them (if they had a chance to see one in action, and hear the stories) however it would be more likely for them to have seen clones. the Mandalorian is also only in the outer rim, an area run by crime lords, so people know about the hutts and such. and i think your definatley right, the watch is intentionally keeping the foundlings in ignorence to protect them. any buisness the mandalorians seem to have with jedi, empire, or sith dosnt end well. And even when aniken was a little kid on tatoowen, Jedi were thought of as just basically legendary warriors. they really did not have a presence in the outer rim, and its been 20 years since then its not surprising to me people don't really know or care about an irrelevant presence to there planet from 20 years ago.
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 I mean they fought in a galactic war I'm pretty sure way more then 1% of people saw a jedi its ridiculous to say otherwise. And you see them go pretty much everywhere in the clone wars tv show. And on top of that they been doing it for thousands of years.
@@trigunfox2325 You are forgetting that there were thousands of Jedi and Trillions of beings in the galaxy. 1% is very believeable. Also Mando was born in the Outer rim which is especially secluded from the Jedi for the most part. Core worlds would have known very well who they were but not these fringe planets mostly cut off from the rest of the galaxy.
@@trigunfox2325 the clone wars was only within a time span of three years, and sometimes attacks were with only 1 jedi. Plus, they were keepers of peace, not warriors so for thousands of years there was no full scale war and not much presence of the jedi. Even anakin on tatooine thought of the jedi as rumors. Also many thousands of systems were under separatist rule, and they only attacked with droids. Mano not hearing about jedi is completely legit, especially when you add in he was in a bounty cult. Rey not hearing about jedi is legit too, but her gaining jedi powers instantly and being able to fly the falcon with no intergalactic/spaceship experience is where we all go wtf
yea they effectly gaslit the entire galaxy into thinking jedi didnt exist, plus they were already pretty much myth in alot of the more outter rim places
Yea but with the emergence of Luke as a Jedi and many people in the core worlds knew the Jedi. Like the outer rim makes sense but it’s like everyone we meet doesn’t know about Jedi
yes. the empire's propaganda campaign made it so you aren't allowed to talk about them, so maybe they pretended they didn't know for fear of punishment.
When it comes to the Mandalorian "Battles from Eons past" they're talking about the Mandalorian wars, not the few squabbles in Mandalor during the clone wars. Your point still stands tho, it's weird nobody remembers
In the OT it was because the Empire was a totalitarian regime that didn't want people to know about the Jedi. For Mando he's part of an isolated cult. But why doesn't Rey know about them?
Yea I think Mando is kind of explained when you get to bo Katan she knows of Ashoka right away. Also,Lucas is kind of to blame the Jedi weren’t supposed to be very common most knew about them but never met one. So for most it was far fetched stories.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but didn't disney axe the Mandalorian Wars along with the rest of the EU? When I saw the whole Jedi=Mystery thing my mind immediately went to KotoR 2 and was like how the hell could they (Mandalorians) not know about the Jedi... but then I remembered that disney axed that as well T.T That's why EU will always be my canon.

I'm pretty sure that the scene when Palpatine said the remaining jedi would be hunted down it was also recorded and shown across the galaxy so Palpatine could gain support for the empire

At the very least, people should remember the clone wars, considering most of them have lived through it, and a major reason why the empire was initially so well received was because they promised peace after a brutal war.
@@ngabel8956 hence why most of the empire are humans. Most of the cis were aliens and it led to mass xenophobia from the galaxy, enough to want the empire
@@ngabel8956 You say 20ish years isn't enough time to forget thousands of years of history, but I disagree with that. There have been global events that have happened within the past year that most people don't remember about let alone know even happened. Not only are people are fucking stupid and believe what they want to believe when it is most convenient for them, but people forget or misremember events all the time or will just straight up lie. This can be made doubly so considering that the Jedi, even at their height, were never the majority in the galaxy and most people never interacted with one in throughout their entire life. And to add on top of that, once the empire took over, they had 2 decades to shovel all types of propaganda down the throats of the people of the core worlds, telling them that the Jedi did this and the Jedi did that or those two people were never Jedi or there was actually this many during this point in time and what not.
Well I didn't have a problem with Mando not knowing as here's my head canon: Since Jedi haven't been relevant for a while, not everyone is talking about them, maybe because it's "bad Karma" and draws in the empire. Mando being taken in by the "Mandalorian fanatics" as a child may also have contributed to him not knowing. Since the Mandalorian Forgemaster knew about them and initially called them sorcerers, I think it was her way of breaking it to Din. Her explanation of the old tale doesn't mean the Jedi haven't been around for long, it's more focused on the tale of Mandalore and how old that is and the ancient conflict between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. People who aren't Jedi or Sith (or force sensitive) don't understand or really believe in the force, hence why Han thinks its tricks rather than an actual thing, even though his connection to the Clone Wars should be quite substantial as well. My head canon gives me this explanation: Even though Jedi were common and all around the universe because of the clone wars, it was still like seeing a unicorn, something you'd tell your friends about. During the war people were more focused on surviving than seeing Jedis use the force, so when on rare occasions there were Jedi on your planet, there usually was a reason, which in turn prevented you from watching the Jedi do his/her work and it'd be even less likely you'd see them actively use the force. In essence it'd be rare to see a Jedi and even more rare to see them use the force even during the Clone Wars, Din was sheltered and the Empire likely suppressed any discussions of Jedi, due to the last Jedi being hunted by Vader
@@hurin1932 I guess we are so starved for new good content thanks to shitsney so much that we’d take anything that is not sequels quality and call it good.
@@basedchimera5859 bro, common people didn't fight in the clone wars, and during the clone wars was the most likely place you'd see a Jedi "Maybe" There was only a small amount of Jedi left during the prequel era, and its not like Jedi went around flaunting themselves to everyone. They're reclusive monks for fuck sake.
I do feel a bit like the Jedi being forgotten was set up a bit in the OT, like with the guy who Darth Vader chokes in ANH acting like the force powers were just some overhyped parlour tricks, when he should have been fully aware of the power of the Jedi. I think it’s pretty likely that through propaganda, the Emperor was downplaying the power of the force and the Jedi so he would continue to go unchallenged. I don’t fully believe everyone would be so ignorant at this point, but I also feel like it was set up in the OT
Luke, the guy who saved the galaxy by the end of the OT, guess what, he was a Jedi. The hero of the galaxy has been forgotten, even on his own fucking birth planet.
@@BaldorfBreakdowns frankly, life on Tatooine probablly didn't change for shit, not when the republic fell, and not when the empire fell. Those outer rim systems don't have much at stake in the politics of the galatic senate. As far as I'm aware, some of these systems probably don't even have seats in coruscant.
This is the bit everyone seems to forget while they're bashing the sequels... the jedi were forgotten in the OT too! And thats even closer to order 66. Like, 18/19 years right? Also, a galaxy is BIG and not everyone was part of the Republic. A lot of people on the fringe planets probably never had heard of a jedi. And exactly to your point, the empire made a point of wiping out all info. So I think its more than reasonable for a majority to not know who they were. Now, if we were talking about some middle aged dude sat on coruscant saying he'd never heard of the jedi, I'd agree with the video. But we're not! Its these tiny back water planets and a bunch of young people.
@@GarethGareBearCoffin But then the Empire was defeated by a Jedi. No one knows how the Empire was defeated? No one knows who saved the galaxy? That's mentally handicapped. Should be common knowledge or at least easily obtained knowledge.
@@misterspeedforce3525 I might be stupid, but I kinda would think that every planet in the galaxy would be informed that the Empire has been defeated. Now, maybe it's just my small, smooth brain, but, I'd think at least 1 or 2 people would be curious about how that came to be... But probably not, I'm just overthinking the effects of an Empire being overthrown in a Galatic war... Silly me...
I’m not gonna lie The Mandalorian is a good show, it gives us the perspective about somebody other than the Jedi. I quite like it myself Edit: Although I do agree that Jon Favreau and Disney did make a bad job making the Jedi noticed in the trilogies and this show, other than that it’s pretty good. Like I know they are a small part of the Star Wars universe but cmon it’s a Mandalorian and Tatooine (Sequels are Doodoo btw)
@@goheezycheezy5309 Well, he has a point. The sequel trilogy is a lot like Marvel movies. After watching both 8 and 9, I came out of the theaters and said that felt more like a Marvel movie than Star Wars. Its because of the popularity of the Marvel movies and the humor they employ, Disney decided to apply the same formula to Star Wars, expecting the same result a la "I am inevitable" "And I am Iron Man"="I am all the Sith" "And I am all the Jedi", or that atrocious yo momma joke in a setting and situation where no joke should have been said at all
Nobody knew about Jedi because the empire was hiding everything related with them, in the comics it was made pretty clear (and yes most of them are canon)
@@John_.Cabell_.Breckinridge he probably never watched. He never read any comics either. All people had of jedi were tales and myths. People even reported people like they did in the witch trials to gain favor with the empire. Plus Palpatine destroyed the temple on coruscant
@@sundrelstriker7513 Also in some high republic comic some random alien saw 1 and thought she was doing magic, that alien didn't even know what the force was.
@@hanburgundy4317 And yet you'll note there were no clones. This was just a Separatist takeover as you see them doing countless times. And while we're on the topic, why didn't Luke know about the Jedi? He was even closer to the clone Wars than, say, Rey.
The jedi temple on coruscant was literally the last one, there was barely any jedi left even during the last days of the republic I say "barely any left" because a thousand or so Jedi (most of them padawans) is NOTHING compared to how many people there are in the galaxy The Jedi became a myth, not "erased" forever. But yes some people don't know about them because Jedi were already irrelevant during the prequel era anyways. You're acting as if Jedi ran around the galaxy flaunting themselves too lol, they're reclusive monks who meditate for christ sakes.
Fun fact that supports this claim: the game "star wars fallen jedi" was never gonna have the force, jedi or anything involving them because disney didn't want them which forced respawn entertainment to beg
Actually, I would have kinda like that. A game exploring the universe outside of Jedi and Sith and force abilities. It would have been nice to explore more in depth the life of outlaws and such
@@isaiah9666 fully with you there, BF for example makes its points as a shooter, Jedi parts are only small add-ons. But if you call it "Jedi", there should be Jedi should be inside it. Call it Resistance/Mandalorians/w/e and I'm on board.
@@copyorange The Jedi and Force were considered no more than forgotten myths to most of the Galaxy by the time of A New Hope. We, as an audience, perceive Jedi and the Force as something commonly recognized because the main stories primarily follow and focus on Jedi.
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish And Disney act like they forgot 'bout Mace
@@JamesHarrison008 That does not work for Mace, Jedi have been seen to survive falls from great heights! I get what you're saying, but Mace Windu really should be alive, even if he is some twisted darker version! It makes no sense that he would die in that situation, and that's why people think he is still alive!
"The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Windu returns as a voice cameo in the final chapter of the Star Wars sequel trilogy The Rise of Skywalker. During the battle between Rey and his killer, Palpatine, Windu's voice is heard speaking to Rey, encouraging her to rise and fight back as all of the past Jedi are with her." yeah ...he dead.
Mando was part of a secret/hidden cult in the outer rim (Jedi are considered mythical to a lot of outer rim inhabitants), it makes complete sense why he wouldn't have dealt with jedi before. Also I can totally see their cult leader kept the history of the Mandalorian wars and the jedi themselves a secret from the rest of her clan, to prevent any vendettas or "believers in the old way" to take control. Pre Vizsla was a perfect example of how destructive Mandalorians can be to their own kind.
LOL. The Death Watch directly interacted with Jedi multiple times during the height of the Republic and the Jedi? What are you talking about? Why speak when you clearly don't know what you're on about?
Yes, good example of just how mythical the jedi are to people in outer rim is PM Anakin. Even then, the jedi are surrounded by cloud of mystery. No wonder that after 20 years of Empire and another 30 years of Jedi being very scarce and almost extinct many folks don't know about them. Or don't care enough to know about them. But it still begs the question how the fuck did Rey know about how fast Millenium Falcon is, but not about Jedi.
@@radioactiveassassin5218 Exactly. Go to Saudi Arabia and ask them if they’ve heard of Mormons. That’s not the best comparison but I think you’ll get the point. And with Rey well I guess that’s just one of the perks of living in an engine lol
Makes no sense. Disney is retarded. How can your “inside man” commit such atrocities. That’s like Tarkin saying he’s a spy after he killed trillions with the Death Star.
@@narutobroken Because it was convenient to make him the spy, the writer thought that up whilst on the shitter most likely. And then thought having Poe respond: "I knew it" would be the funniest shit.
He’s forgetting that even in Star Wars A New Hope no one knew about the Jedi. That was only around twenty years after order 66 started. So it would seem like ages ago 53 years from the start of order 66. Heck, people barely new about the force in New Hope. So this video doesn’t really make sense.
Glad to see someone else understands that this guy is a troll who has gone a bit too far. Doesn't seem he actually understands Star Wars, but he sure gained a following by criticizing it since Disney took over. I don't like most of Disney's stuff, but at least I can see where this guy totally misses what's obvious.
What doesn't make sense is George Lucas's writing. It's like he forgot that the Prequels were supposed to actually connect to the OT, and just rammed in a few scenes to tie things together in the last 5 minutes of ROTS.
Eh, more like they’re just copying and pasting the original trilogy and didn’t even bother adding original components. A fanfiction implies something new
Rouge One was less than 5 years ago. At this point TM has fucked up the lore as much as Solo, so even Solo is looking better by comparison (judging by quality of production, which Solo was inestimably superior regarding film making.)
Saber combat in the last episode is crap. Seasson 2 is: go to planet, help me, ok will do in exchange of this. Every. Single. Episode. Come on, main story did not evolve at all. They looks like fillers. Issue is that we lack a decent star wars and the bar is really low
4:00 you’re understanding how effective Imperial propaganda was. Sheev did everything in his considerable power to cleanse the history books of anything good the Jedi did. Hell, Luke hadn’t even heard of the Jedi 19 YEARS after Order 66. And Rey’s upbringing was even more remote than Luke’s. She was left to fend for herself on a desert planet filled with unscrupulous junkers and harsh weather when she was fucking 6. What little she knew of the Jedi came from legends and tall tales that have become exaggerated over time.
Let's be fair. Nobody knew how to handle this franchise all the way from 1983 to almost present date. Nearly 8/11 films are either incomprehensible or the safest fanservice.
When you really think about it, beyond the prequels Jedi were nothing but myths and legends. From our point of view as the audience we got to see many Jedi in the originals, and even sequels to an extent. So when it comes to The Mandalorian at first I was confused as to why Din Djarin didn’t have any knowledge of the Jedi considering they took part in the history of Mandalore, even having a mandalorian jedi at one point. but considering how little we see of the Jedi from the perspectives of others in the galaxy it makes sense. And when Mando finally does meet a Jedi it is a true spectacle to behold, and he was likely honored to an extent fighting beside a warrior who survived Both the Clone Wars and Galactic civil war.
@Young Westthe Jedi order by the time of the prequels was also fairly small compared to the eras like the old republic, and it only continued to dwindle because of the clone wars, so it’s no surprise that by the time of shows like Star Wars Rebels the Jedi order was all but forgotten by those outside of the core worlds. Kinda sad when you think about it honestly.
Another quibble about your beef with the unknown Jedi: not only was Luke barely aware of them (if at all), same was true of traveling smuggler Han Solo, even though his best friend has served with the Jedi during the Clone Wars. Also, Darth Vader's "ancient religion" was treated like a joke TO HIS FACE, meaning they clearly didn't understand how dangerous he or the Jedi were.
In my opinion it would have had more sense if the spy was a stormtrooper who got inspired by the actions of Finn and realized how evil the First Order was.
Yeah thatll never happen. That's some childish, naive thinking you got there, thinking disney will de canonize 3 movies that each made over a billion dollars, especially when canon is super important to them and it would confused literally everyone not activley plugged into star wars canon and lore. I STILL have people asking why Yoda is a baby after ROTJ or who Ahsoka is. The very idea of them just tossing 3 movies out is laughable at best and idiotic at worst. RUclips comments not liking the movies= nothing to disney
That with the fact the empire would definitely spread purposeful disinformation to convince people it was previous regime propaganda and few normal galactic citizens would likely haves ever interacted with a Jedi could easily turn them into fairy tales. Luke knew nothing of the Jedi when he started training. Reys powers and the sequels are a mess but Jedi becoming myths instead of fact to most civilians in the universe is completely believable to me.
@@aidantreap Agreed, we saw a glimpse of this in the legends comic about the battle of jabbin (not sure if right one or not) but the locals said they heard rumors that the Jedi ate babies and some random crap
We have seen how fast things are relayed in this Disney clown-verse...a kid sweeping the stables knows a legend about a Jedi skyluke and is using force powers for cleaning two days after it happened... As Churchill said "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
Ray swinging the lightsaber is magnificent. Swinging it back and forth like swatting flies had to have taken months of training. It’s right up there with the Abakan and obi wan fight.
Man do grew up in a cult like setting where knowledge was probably controlled, maybe it is normal for orphans who were brought up by a cult to not know of Jedi.
9:45 I think one of the things that makes that scene work so well is it's stillness. They're just sitting & talking, the bgm varies from very subtle to nonexistent. This lets you focus on the actual point of the scene without distraction.
"How do these two versions coexist in the same universe?" They don't. They're slowly retconning the sequels out of existence. It's subtle now, but over time it will be more overt.
@@InquisitorKryptman Ha! They already retconned Timothy Olyphants character from the book he debuted in,less than 5 years ago. They can't get their facts straight.
@@benjamingrant5970 Just because they're going to change back stories of minor characters to give writer's more creative freedom doesn't mean they're going to scrap a 4 year long Trilogy.
@@InquisitorKryptman There are reports that Jon Favreau is editing a different cut of The Last Jedi with retcons and reset saspects of the canon. It will release on disney plus in the next couple years.
Theory: Maybe Din (the Mandolorian) has never heard of the Jedi because he grew up on a backwater planet that the republic/Jedi didn’t care about even during the clone wars. So when the Separatists attacked the planet, the Death Watch cultists took it into their own hands to defend the planet from the droids since the Jedi and republic didn’t do anything and when they took Din as a foundling, they raised him away from some the real big stuff going on in the galaxy. He was only 5 when he was taken by the cultists, and the clone wars was just coming to an end so the Jedi purge happened not long after. The cultists probably thought they were all wiped out so they found no reason to explain who the Jedi were since they were no longer a threat and they wanted to rebuild their old ways and reciting their recent history would be a shit way of doing that. And if you say “but Din should have heard of the Jedi before he was taken” well think of it this way, during ww1 the Harlem Hellfighters were a famous regiment but do you think that people from places like Chile would have heard of them? Probably not Edit: that’s probably a shitty analogy but you get what I mean
Exactly what I was thinking! It makes sense for the mandalorian cult, with their control of information to control their members, to not have such knowledge available to anyone, and the knowledge that exists to be kept securely with certain trusted individuals who give it a massive 'legend' spin so it fits with their cult. After all talking about how mandalorians dealt with magic wizards fits the cult story a lot better than a sith lord taking the title of mandalore. However, when you are researching these jedi, you should automatically run into people who (despite the empire suppressing all knowledge of them) still have memories about them or actually know jedi, such as Bo Katan. In this scenario it doesn't make sense that Marey Sue is so suprised etc. We all have to keep in mind that however famous they once were, at the time of the clone wars and order 66 a lot of the people in the galaxy had never seen or met an actual jedi. It's like saying there are wizards on earth. They might exist, but 99/100 people would have never come into contact with one, which makes their existence doubtful in the least. It's the same with space marines in the 40k universe; our vision of that universe, as with star wars and it's jedi, is for a huge part based upon these elite warriors, but at the same time an average citizen in a hive city would probably have never seen one of these angels of death, and for a huge part of the population they would be myths and legends rather than actual living beings, whilst living at the same time.
Exactly. And to go off of that, Finn grew up as a CHILD SOLDIER and Rey grew up on an outer rim desert planet. Not to mention, the mandolorians and Jedi were rivals long before the phantom menace.
Also Jedi are basically bigfoot of the galaxy, there's 10 000 of them and the galaxy is so so big Edit: Did the maths, there was one Jedi/4000 star systems
What else can Filoni and Faverau do after the abomination known as the Kathleen Kennedy trilogy?!? Cut these guys a little slack. There is a lot of damage control to be done bro!
@@RobotHead I think they don't let Dave Filoni work as freely as he should, he knows star wars very well as you see in clone wars and that ending was the best "Disney" star wars since the takeover.
Isn't their story BEFORE the sequels? This is the universe controlled by the Rebellion, and they are doing a piss poor job already, demonstrating yet again that the Empire are actually better, for the average person, governors than the Republic, the Rebellion or the RESISTANCE all of whom just get trillions of people killed and destroy working institutions only to replace them with strongman tyrants or feckless voids.
@@ca1ib0s Yeah, this is Princess Leia's government. Fighting a war of conceit. She so drunk with stupidity that she didn't use her Jedi mastery to personally intervene to stop her own son from killing his father, her brother, or billions of innocents across the galaxy. That's the ultimate legacy of the Jedi, way worse than the Sith.
Lets not forget that most people had no idea of who luke was at the time of the rebelion. The rebel allience basicly said that a random farm boy blew up the death star, in order to make others believe that they could do something simular. Palpatine also basicly wiped the jedi out of the history books after formning the empire.
I found it particularly weird how little was known about the Jedi in the sequel trilogy and yet in Rise of Skywalker so many characters seemed aware of the Sith. Even more bizarre since not only were their few Sith but the order was very secretive, whereas there had been many Jedi and the existence of the order was well known.
When the Jedi were around in the clone wars compared to the amount of planets, people and battles going on, the Jedi were actually spread very very thin and most people would never have even seen one. If you had even heard of them they would have just been seen as myths. Especially in the outer rim planets Mando takes place on
@@vegasspaceprogram6623 The Jedi were ancient opponents of the Mandalorians, so Din should have known about the existence of the Jedi. And the cult argument is stupid because the armored women mention the legends of Mandalor the Great ,famous for conquering half of the galaxy and fighting the Jedi ... (not to mention the clone wars made Obi Wan and Anakin celebrities)
4:58 in my opinion, this is a poor example to use to illustrate mando's (or the galaxy's) lack of knowledge in reference to the jedi's existence. Here he remarks he's never interacted with a Jedi before, _not_ that he has no knowledge of their existence or history. I believe there's a few moments from either throughout season 1 or the beginning of season 2 that would've been much better examples to use to back up your point.
That Elvis and Michael Jackson analogy was HILARIOUS! I agree with you that Disney was and still is spastic for playing forgetful about the Jedi, however, it could still make more sense with the Mandalorian, as it's set mostly in the Outer Rim.
I suspect that the Empire tried to erase the Jedi order from history. The Mandalorian takes place before a new Jedi order has been established. Given the size of the Star Wars galaxy, I think it is reasonable that some people would be unaware of their existence.
I actually disagree slightly for once, since Palpatine went through a lotta effort to kill Jedi, and people connected to them. This meant that the very mention of the word "Jedi" could get you killed. Also, Din Djarin spent most of his life sheltered from everything, since he was a Mandalorian. It also seems pretty unbelievable, and Jedi were generally just written out of History. That combined with no way to access information on Jedi (no history classes, access to Jedi archives/ holocrons restricted, no technology to store this information like the internet does) made it super difficult to know about the Jedi
Mando's weird sect seems to be in hiding for the most part. He was six? when they found him and saved him from clone troopers? So during the clone wars. We know Luke was 16 by Star Wars. I'm not sure how much time passed between then and RotJ. Not sure how much time passed between RotJ and the Mandolorian. Somehow Obi-Wan went from looking like Ewan McGregor to looking like Alec Guinness. Ahsoka went from a teenager to an adult Rosario Dawson (41?). Katie Sackoff played an adult during clone wars and is 40, and she looks pretty good for a Bo Katan who seemed pretty grown up during the Clone Wars. We got to assume he was in his thirties. Maybe his sect went into hiding and they just don't know much about Jedi. "You think that there would be some type of legend regarding Luke Skywalker on Tatooine or even stories of Anakin, the boy from Tatooine, who grew up to help rule the galaxy." There was. It's in the opening crawl of Empire Strikes Back. It's why Darth Vader was hunting down Luke Skywalker. For the second part. There's no stories of him ruling the galaxy because no one knows who Darth Vader was except a handful of people. "A first order pilot told his wife about a confusing day at work where his boss and this old guy did a strange choreographed dance before the old guy disappeared like a cheap Canto Bite magician. That story jumped all the way to another planet and got told to the slave children within days. They'd already made action figures." And that was stupid and one of the reasons I didn't like the Last Jedi. "But on this small planet that was the home to a family that produced the only human to win the pod racing world championship in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands, including the local celebrity crime lord. The same pod race champion who returned as a Jedi and slaughtered a whole tribe to free and save mum." Anikin killed all the sand people in the area. He only confessed this to Padme. Unless the Lars told people or kept it hushed to avoid sand people retaliating, we don't know who knows it happened. The sand people that came across the bodies later might suspect a Jedi did something based on the cuts and burns. No one can put a name to the person though. "His son, who also came from Tatooine and returned as a Jedi to slaughter that same crime lord and his gang to free his friends." Actually, the crime lord in Phantom Menace was Jabba's dad. Like U.S. gangster movies, sometimes they have a lot of people named after the head guy. There's a lot of relatives named Paul in Goodfellas, for example. " and his brothers had of sons and nephews. And almost all of them were Peter or Paul. It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding." I think most would have known he was a Jedi and that Luke Skywalker wanted to get his friends back. But even Jabba didn't believe he was a Jedi and the guy was probably full of it. "The father going on to help lead the Empire. The son going on to free the galaxy. Yes, on this small planet, produced this very hard working family no one seems to know. They even existed or that the Jedi are real." No one knows Vader is Luke's dad except a small group of people. Why do you assume a lot of people know Luke? Luke's some nobody from a backwater region in the outer rims. There might be like two towns near the moisture farm that might have heard of him. He's probably a legend as 'the guy who blew up the Death Star' and maybe as 'the guy who killed the Emperor.' We don't know for sure because we don't know the propaganda the old Trilogy's been spreading out there about the heroes of the Rebel Alliance. I get the point you're trying to make but your examples suck. A better argument would be like cops. Jedi are like cops and have been for thousands of generations. Suddenly they're gone, or illegal, for trying to pull some kind of coup and within twenty years, no one has heard of them. By thirty years, they're legends and myths. Really? Thirty years? The movies treated them like a weird religious group that died out during the original trilogy. Even Grand Moff Tarkin talked about them like an old dying religion. I think the problem is the prequels. Original trilogy set up Obi-Wan, an old man, and Darth Vader, a less older man, as these last two known force users. Like outside of them, they're extinct. To us, Jedi were a thing during WWII and then they were gone. That's how old it felt. Like really old men knew what they were and everyone else kinda thought it was a trick. Han was in his thirties during Star Wars and treated them like magicians. The prequels come in, makes Jedi way younger, condense the timeline. Luke's 16 and that's how long it's been since Jedi were officially cops. That feels like a weird detachment from the original trilogy. What was the other thing you said? They're like Elvis only there's like a thousand of him? Yes, I agree. They're called Elvis impersonators. There's been thousands of them since Elvis passed and they're still around, slowly dying out, reminding us that he was around. What you need to take from this is that the original trilogy treated Jedi like forty years passed and the prequels had a sixteen year gap. Tarkin called it a dying religion and Han heard of them, called the lightsaber ancient, and thought they were conning people. Jedi were hunted down and rare to see, and people told stories. But yes, based on the prequels, it'd be like seeing a cowboy walking around today. We'd recognize what that is but not expect to see them hanging out at local bars in the city outside of Halloween.
@Loganater You're wrong. Stinky is Jabba the Hutt from RotJ. He's a baby in that one. He's a green slug in Special Edition Star Wars and an adult in RotJ. The other Jabba, is Jabba Sr. from Phantom Menaace and the dad from the Clone Wars movie.

Just occurs to me that Luke being kept ignorant of the Jedi during his youth reflects the medieval myth of Perceval, who was deliberately raised in the wilderness in ignorance of the existence of knights and chivalry.
When the New Republic pilots meet Mando they use the greeting "May the Force be with you" and he responds in kind. So even if he didn't believe in the Force he must at least be aware of it in the same way that an atheist still knows about God.
@@vincesergi7339 not the same. Saying thank the force but not knowing what a Jedi is is like saying thank god but you never heard of a Christian or seen a church
Well he was pretty young when he was saved by the Mandalorians. It also looks like no Jedi came to rescue his village either and I doubt he really cared to know what Jedi were at that age. Also, once he got in with the Mandalorians they pretty much just hid away from everything.
Did you know that ninjas as we know them never actually existed? There were assassins and covert spies in historical Japan, but the name and overall concept of ninjas are works of fiction. The Jedi are kind of the same thing, something that existed but are completely misunderstood in many parts of the SW galaxy

Thanks dude!!!
It’s understandable that people don’t believe or know of the Jedi, even if it has been 53 years. The galaxy has trillions of people in it. There were only a couple thousand Jedi in their prime. It’s like me trying to preach to you of a religion or spiritual lifestyle like “chi”. Even Han Solo didn’t believe in it and he was alive when the Jedi were in the thousands. It’s easy to think they were a myth created by the republic.
Imagine if China invaded the US and the rest of the world and they were talking about how they were able to keep the peace using a couple dozen super commandos with mind control. You’d tell them to fuck off with their nonsense.
@@bonjanglevash Except that Han knew they existed even if he didn't believe in their prowess. Also, there's no way Mandalorians wouldn't know about the Jedi. The only way for them to not know would be if they lost all knowledge of their own culture and history and that all the people who knew died (and in this case that would need to be ALL Mandalorians due to how close this point is to the Clone War).
Also, even though most people never got to see a Jedi in their entire lives, most people still knew about the Jedi. They were either famous or infamous depending on the place.
The Jedi being a thing was common knowledge. Common knowledge doesn't disappear out of nowhere.

Many civilians of the republic have never even met a Jedi in their lifetime. The only real public exposure they had with the Jedi took place during the clone wars, where they rose to prominence and even that was more hearsay than anything else.
I agree
except they were constantly on the news in coruscant, and the jedi had been written into common literature after the jedi vs sith war thousands of yeas before.
@@stuckingachahell most systems are not well connected with corussant and most people in star wars live in poor condition. Look at the people at Tatooine look at the people in Yavin. Poorness, slavery are all verry present in star wars even most of the people in corussant lived in slums. 90+% of the planets are shitholes and their are trillion of sentient lifeforms around the galaxy.

@@BaxsStudios Exactly, the outer rim had little contact with the Republic or Empire so it makes sense they didn’t know
@@TristanRow except the fact that everyone on Tatooine already knew that the Jedi existed. Where is the logic? The people from the republic, ie Qui gon jin, didn't even know that tatooine existed, but the people on Tatooine knew that Jedi existed.

Han Solo thought the Force to be an old-timey hokey religion. He was from a Core world with it's own Jedi enclave. He also was eight when the Jedi Purge began. Lucas clearly intended for the Jedi to be minorly known and largely obscure past RotS.
Pretty sure the Empire forbade any mention of jedi or the force just like any respectable dictatorship would do to make sure no one gets any funny ideas.
In which of the first six movies is that information relayed? I think I may have missed it.
I mean, how much do you remember from when you were 8? He seems to know what a Jedi is supposed to be, but doubts they are actually powerful space wizards who can block blasters with a 'laser sword' and change the minds of people/throw objects with telekinesis. Makes sense to me, he never saw a Jedi for real, aside from maybe Imperial propaganda claiming they were evil and full of crap.
It is actaully quite realistic. For example, let's take WW2. USSR played most significant role in WW2, and was the one who letteraly ended it and the US joined the conflict when Soviet forces were already capable of destroying Nazi Germany without the US support. It could have taken little more time but eventually it would have happened. However, due to the American anti-soviet propaganda launched during the Cold War Americans mostly don't even know that.
@@vr9591 People don't like to acknowledge they all live in their own Plato's cave; nor how easy it is to shape the view of a young person if you control the education system. 100% the Empire likely suppressed any positive education about the Jedi. And anyone stupid enough to make a fuss of 'this is not how the Jedi were' would likely be dragged off and dealt with.
And that's before you even factor in stuff like force mind tricks, anyone making a big fuss? "There were no Jedi, they never existed." Boom, problem solved.
Well Yoda is a very rare species, and Mando was in a very strict hidden religion. So this show has a excuse, unlike the sequel trilogy. And when she said Eons past, she meant the fact Mandalorians and Jedi haven't fought directly for eons, but we're enemies of the Mandalorians.
Aye, you can even see this when he meets other Mandalorians who isn't super religious. Bo-fucking-Katan and he didn't know who she was. That tells you that his sect of mando's is more of a cult that ignore most of their own history.
They're probably the offset survivors of Mauls mando's that the other mando's fought against.
I agree except for one thing. His parents were killed by the separatist army so I find it very hard to believe he didn't hear about the jedi where he lived during his upbringing before his parents were killed.
And not just Mando, it seems like everyone in the Mandalorian has heard of Mandalorians through stories but the same doesn't apply for the Jedi. I still like the show but something to think about.
Yea and wouldnt the mandalorains who trained him teach them their history?
Does no one converse in disney star wars outside of scenes they are in or what?
You would think they had some kind of education or at the very least they have traditions of teaching the younger generations mechnical skills and basic galactic history.
It is pretty much like not knowing the navy seals were in viet nam, a person new to that knowledge wouldnt question if the seals were real, they would just be unfamiliar with what exactly they do.
The collective unconcious allows us to cultivate information from our surroundings, like kids are aware of the miltary, even if they dont exactly know what that kind of work entails. If they saw it, or were told about it, they wouldnt be unsure of its existence, they may question the force like we question religion, but they would be aware of its existence.
The disney universe, is way to inconsistent, and doesnt really get the universe as a whole, they are starting to it seems because it seems more people are actually getting into the old stuff, like training, thank the force, etc but they still have a massive misunderstanding of the character dynamics and why people loved SW so much.
For me, it was the lead characters.
@@mtgleam8723 well he was just a boy when the attack happened as was super traumatised to the point that he keeps reliving it. Only thing he remembers is death watch saving him, so anything he heard about the jedi would probably be forgotten as a boy.
Also in the show the Mandalorian there are a lot of people that know about the force or talk about it/ the sayings. May the force be with you, thank the force ect ect. So it isn't hard to see other people knowing about the jedi and Mandalorians because they aren't truly cut off from the rest of the galaxy.
Remember, the mando is in a cult, he doesn't even know his own people's true history which speaks a lot. He doesn't know about the dark saber which is a huge part of their culture. Doesn't know Bo-Katan who was literally the sister of the leader of Mandalore. Doesn't understand that not all Mandalorians have the same reverence of not removing their helmet.
If Din is part of the cultish offshoot of death watch then we can see where his history came from. It came from them ignoring the force, ignoring the pacsfis part after their defeat of the jedi. It comes from trying to overthrow Mandalore and having their own people tear in two. He literally knows none of this because his cult doesn't teach him this and keeps to themselves underground, only one of them being allowed up on the surface at a time.
Around this timeline Mandalore would be rebuilding after they fought against the Empire, which his cult has no part of. He is very isolated of the known galaxy and keeps to the outer rim, which news travels much slower.
Already thought about it and it really seems it is only Din and his cult of mando's that are really in the dark. Everyone else knows what a jedi and Mandalorians are
"It's all true: Nazis, D-Day, WW2... all of it!"

Not everyone knew the Jedi because it's an entire galaxy and all the Jedi that existed never went to every planet and people did not believe it. The armorer is talking about old old history with eons ago war that had ended between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. (I do not like the sequels at all but this kinda makes sense cause not everyone witnessed the force powers directly and most people would not believe the stories, because if I told you right now that there were wizards with telekinesis and I was the only witness would you believe me most likely no) I agree with most of your points on the sequels but not this one.

Probably yeah and there's not much unbelievable about it. Most people in the galaxy have no clue about the differences between Jedi and Sith, so I wouldn't wonder if their lack of knowledge regarding the Jedi is a thing at the same time.

The Mandalorian takes place mostly in the outer rim, where jedi would rarely visit and were not believed to exist by most people even while they were active, and Din was raised in a cult, so no shit these characters don't know much about jedi
Din, like many still alive, was around during the Clone Wars and was old enough to have heard something about the Jedi. He was raised in an ultra traditional sect of Mandalorians, so there's no way he wouldn't have heard of the same tales as the armory woman, who is a major figure in that same sect. He regularly travels the galaxy as a bounty hunter in the aftermath of Return of the *Jedi.* There's no way he wouldn't have heard of Luke and the Jedi, unless the Rebels kept what happened hidden for literally no reason, especially since Luke is supposed to follow Yoda's command to pass on what he has learned and revive the Jedi Order. It doesn't make any sense for Din and everyone else to be so ignorant of the Jedi. And the Outer Rim is no excuse. Tatooine is an Outer Rim world and even slave boy Anakin had heard of the Jedi.

Rey is given everything in the sequels without deserving it, because that's how the people in charge *cough* Kathleen Kennedy *cough* Jar Jar Abrams *cough* got into their positions.

The super powerful female lead was supposed to be an inspiration, but imo a struggle, or hard fought journey would be sm better. Not to mention that Rey has some of the most poorly choreographed lightsaber duels and fight too, so even though she is "powerful," you can't even be proud of her victories.
@@carterhamilton4710 True, she wins by using a lightsaber as a freaking baseball bat, I could be a more elegant lightsaber duelist if I would practice with a stick ;-;
Rey is just like a mad 5 year old throughout the whole new trilogy. I basically disregard the new trilogy because of how inaccurate they are to star wars. Rogue One, The Mandalorian and Solo I do like though. They actually feel like star wars movies!
Kathleen paid her dues. JJ entered the industry due to nepotism.
The ST can be summed up like this: nothing is earned. Every movie that seems to be the case.
I think your oversimplification of "Jedi existed recently, so everyone must believe in the Jedi" is a bit unfair. To quote Han Solo in Star Wars "I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense."... This is how the average person in the time of the OT thought of the force and Jedi, so no wonder 10 to 30 years removed from that people are a bit confused. Also, in a galaxy of Millions of inhabited planets with each having potentially billions of residents compared to the prequels 10,000 Jedi and the original trilogies handful, I'm not surprised not everyone believes or even knows about the Jedi.
Yeah the jedi have literally always been treated this way but you know DiSnEy iS BaD.
Precisely, im a little disappointed I had to scroll this far down to find someone with sense
Thank you for saying this. People get so blinded by the fact that they hate the sequels that they forget that a lot of aspects of the sequels flow directly from the OT like Han's like in a New Hope. I get people don't like the sequels for many reasons but this is just nitpicking that gets rendered irrelevant when you look at the saga as a whole.
Yeah, I don't think Disney's writing is good either, but its obvious that this kind of viewpoint of the Jedi has always been around, really, this kind of confusion and "plot hole" is better attributed to the prequels representation of the Jedi and their power than anything else.
We also see that, among the officers of the Empire, while Vader was a powerful figure, people didn't think much of his "antiquated religion". So yeah, it seems to have been kind of obscure at this point. And presumably, the Empire would have suppressed information about them. Think "Star Twitter" or "Spacebook".
I really like your content, but I have to nit pick one thing that you seem to not understand. That scene from the mandalorian where the smith is talking about a war from eons past, is legit from eon past. Like old republic era, thousands of years before the prequels. Not just the 30+ years from the prequels to the OT.
Yeah, people remarks on things that happened thousands years ago, but cant remember what happened 30 years ago.

Yeah the guy who made this video fails to realize that the Jedi Order fell and Anakin/The Emperor/The Empire spent a couple decades trying to completely erase the Jedi Order's existence from the galaxy, not to mention, the Jedi didn't even have a foothold as large as he seems to think, nor were they universally accepted even where they did have one. Go back to KotOR and you find out they were vilified for eons because of the Jedi Civil War. He also doesn't seem to understand that Gisney made the Expanded Universe non-canon, so who really knows what kind of canon they're building around these days. Jon Favreau is saving Star Wars single-handedly with the Mandalorian as it stands. A foundling Mandalorian would of course have never had dealing with any Jedi - He's at most in his early to mid-30's and more likely in his late 20's - early 30's. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire, after Anakin's atonement and before Luke's new Jedi Order. He would never have even come close to interacting with a Jedi since there's only a handful of them left, and Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan all died too so there's basically Ahsoka Tano and Luke at this point with a few stragglers here and there but nowhere to be found.
@@DynamicThreads You create a strawman to then beat it to the ground. Great job. The only thing he used were movies which establish jedi as a guardians of peace. There are people that were alive during the fall of the jedi ffs. Disney seems to totally forget about that.
Also, the Mandolorian is such a mess of a writing it amazes me just how loved this series is becoming.
@@mat199622 It's been a minimum of 36 years between Episode III and the start of Mandalorian. Anakin killed almost every Jedi or force sensitive being he encountered. In Episode IV, there is literally a scene where an Empire commander says Darth Vader's "Sad devotion to that ancient religion" in reference to "The Force" hasn't helped him conjure up the stolen plans for the Death Star... It's quite possibly the most famous scene in Star Wars history. "I find your lack of faith disturbing" ring a bell? It's only been 2 decades between Episode III and A New Hope... And already, in those 20 years, the "Force" has become a myth and Jedi have become a fairy tale. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about in all honesty.
@Dynamic threads
Oh fvckoff with this “all the Jedi died” bs. You seem to want storylines to follow the OT films 100% when it can’t. The prequels and every other media, they had to expand BEYOND the OT films. There’s no way every single one of these “space wizards” would have died. It’s long been canon there were survivors or those that went in hiding. Also it’s a universally large galaxy. So that nonsense of no Jedi can piss off.
Lastly, The Mandalorian isn’t Disney’s saving grace. It’s honestly not even all that great. It’s B tier at most. Like someone said, messy writing, and personally I can’t stand that the show and protagonist can’t be it’s own thing without baby Yoda.

@@liamlinson7563 Sure, so people heard about these wars that were happening. Maybe they heard that the generals leading the clone troopers were Jedi, and had magical powers, but that is a hard thing to believe unless you witness it for yourself. Remember just how huge the galactic population is, and how few Jedi there were. Was it around 1 in 100 million people that were a Jedi? Some entire species seemed to have no or just a very small number of Jedi. And for most of the time Jedi are quite inconspicuous. They dress in simple cloaks. They use their powers subtly so as not to draw attention. Even in battle, besides deflecting blaster bolts with their lightsabers, they mostly would have been commanding the armies, not using their more ostentatious powers, and the people around them to witness it were clone troopers and droids. It may well be common knowledge that the Jedi existed, but it's reasonable for Han Solo and others to be hugely skeptical of the truth, and believe they were religious nutters. There were probably many different religions in the Star Wars universe, almost all of them at odds with reality and every other religion. You might hear from people who did witness a Jedi in person every other year, if you kept your ear to the ground, but it would still just be hearsay and the details easily doubted. Think about when Obi Wan and Anakin visited Naboo the first time. Lots of rumours probably spread around Naboo about who the people visiting were, but they really were visiting the upper echelons, and their Jedi abilities were only demonstrated in close quarters with enemies.

Stfu
The thing about the jedi is that when the empire took over, they literally wiped out any information about the jedi and rumors were only told between people. Also he doesnt know about mandalores history is because the watch only wanted to tell the foundlings what they needed to know to survive or we will find out more as the series continues.
yeah and it dosnt seem like they had the internet back then in the galaxy far away a long time ago. even there hologram broadcasts seems as limited as ham radio. so noone is walking around with a smartphone and access to all knowledge like we do. its easy to make fun of people for being ignorent when there is no internet. and yeah it has been like 20 years since the emprie wiped the jedi out, older people would remember them (if they had a chance to see one in action, and hear the stories) however it would be more likely for them to have seen clones. the Mandalorian is also only in the outer rim, an area run by crime lords, so people know about the hutts and such. and i think your definatley right, the watch is intentionally keeping the foundlings in ignorence to protect them. any buisness the mandalorians seem to have with jedi, empire, or sith dosnt end well. And even when aniken was a little kid on tatoowen, Jedi were thought of as just basically legendary warriors. they really did not have a presence in the outer rim, and its been 20 years since then its not surprising to me people don't really know or care about an irrelevant presence to there planet from 20 years ago.

Also many thousands of systems were under separatist rule, and they only attacked with droids. Mano not hearing about jedi is completely legit, especially when you add in he was in a bounty cult. Rey not hearing about jedi is legit too, but her gaining jedi powers instantly and being able to fly the falcon with no intergalactic/spaceship experience is where we all go wtf

For over a thousand generations the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic.
In one generation all memory of the Jedi knights and of the force was lost.
That's how Propaganda in a galaxy works.
Remember: Luke believed Jedi were a Myth.
So did Anakin and at that point the Jedi were actually a thing.
@@TheTwistedTreant526 luke was purposely not told. Both of his foster parents knew. Also, anakin knew what jedi were he just never saw a real one. He heard stories they used lightsabers.
Anakin knew of the Jedi, even if he had little understanding of them. He thought Qui-Gon was a Jedi just from seeing his lightsaber.
20-ish years is not enough time to forget a thousand years of history. At the very least, people should remember the clone wars, considering most of them have lived through it, and a major reason why the empire was initially so well received was because they promised peace after a brutal war.
@@ngabel8956 hence why most of the empire are humans. Most of the cis were aliens and it led to mass xenophobia from the galaxy, enough to want the empire
@@ngabel8956 You say 20ish years isn't enough time to forget thousands of years of history, but I disagree with that. There have been global events that have happened within the past year that most people don't remember about let alone know even happened. Not only are people are fucking stupid and believe what they want to believe when it is most convenient for them, but people forget or misremember events all the time or will just straight up lie. This can be made doubly so considering that the Jedi, even at their height, were never the majority in the galaxy and most people never interacted with one in throughout their entire life. And to add on top of that, once the empire took over, they had 2 decades to shovel all types of propaganda down the throats of the people of the core worlds, telling them that the Jedi did this and the Jedi did that or those two people were never Jedi or there was actually this many during this point in time and what not.
Well I didn't have a problem with Mando not knowing as here's my head canon: Since Jedi haven't been relevant for a while, not everyone is talking about them, maybe because it's "bad Karma" and draws in the empire. Mando being taken in by the "Mandalorian fanatics" as a child may also have contributed to him not knowing. Since the Mandalorian Forgemaster knew about them and initially called them sorcerers, I think it was her way of breaking it to Din. Her explanation of the old tale doesn't mean the Jedi haven't been around for long, it's more focused on the tale of Mandalore and how old that is and the ancient conflict between the Mandalorians and the Jedi. People who aren't Jedi or Sith (or force sensitive) don't understand or really believe in the force, hence why Han thinks its tricks rather than an actual thing, even though his connection to the Clone Wars should be quite substantial as well.
My head canon gives me this explanation: Even though Jedi were common and all around the universe because of the clone wars, it was still like seeing a unicorn, something you'd tell your friends about. During the war people were more focused on surviving than seeing Jedis use the force, so when on rare occasions there were Jedi on your planet, there usually was a reason, which in turn prevented you from watching the Jedi do his/her work and it'd be even less likely you'd see them actively use the force.
In essence it'd be rare to see a Jedi and even more rare to see them use the force even during the Clone Wars, Din was sheltered and the Empire likely suppressed any discussions of Jedi, due to the last Jedi being hunted by Vader
The Deathwatch were literally jedi hunters LMAO.
Din not knowing about Jedi kinda makes sense because of his sheltered life and never got involved in the wars

@@Goujiki reclusive monks running the capitol of the new Republic wake the fuck up
I do feel a bit like the Jedi being forgotten was set up a bit in the OT, like with the guy who Darth Vader chokes in ANH acting like the force powers were just some overhyped parlour tricks, when he should have been fully aware of the power of the Jedi. I think it’s pretty likely that through propaganda, the Emperor was downplaying the power of the force and the Jedi so he would continue to go unchallenged.
I don’t fully believe everyone would be so ignorant at this point, but I also feel like it was set up in the OT
Luke, the guy who saved the galaxy by the end of the OT, guess what, he was a Jedi. The hero of the galaxy has been forgotten, even on his own fucking birth planet.
@@BaldorfBreakdowns frankly, life on Tatooine probablly didn't change for shit, not when the republic fell, and not when the empire fell. Those outer rim systems don't have much at stake in the politics of the galatic senate. As far as I'm aware, some of these systems probably don't even have seats in coruscant.
This is the bit everyone seems to forget while they're bashing the sequels... the jedi were forgotten in the OT too! And thats even closer to order 66. Like, 18/19 years right?
Also, a galaxy is BIG and not everyone was part of the Republic. A lot of people on the fringe planets probably never had heard of a jedi. And exactly to your point, the empire made a point of wiping out all info. So I think its more than reasonable for a majority to not know who they were.

I wish I could travel to an alternate universe where Disney actually did the sequel trilogy properly. With George and Marcia Lucas at the helm.
I’m not gonna lie The Mandalorian is a good show, it gives us the perspective about somebody other than the Jedi. I quite like it myself
Edit: Although I do agree that Jon Favreau and Disney did make a bad job making the Jedi noticed in the trilogies and this show, other than that it’s pretty good. Like I know they are a small part of the Star Wars universe but cmon it’s a Mandalorian and Tatooine (Sequels are Doodoo btw)
The Jedi make up an extremely small part of the Star Wars galaxy, so it's nice and it makes sense to explore other parts as well
The clone wars also does this mostly for the clones
It’s kinda like Republic Commando
It was a really fresh change to play as something else other than a Jedi, and a Clone Commando was perfect

Pre Vizsla was a perfect example of how destructive Mandalorians can be to their own kind.

4:00 you’re understanding how effective Imperial propaganda was. Sheev did everything in his considerable power to cleanse the history books of anything good the Jedi did. Hell, Luke hadn’t even heard of the Jedi 19 YEARS after Order 66. And Rey’s upbringing was even more remote than Luke’s. She was left to fend for herself on a desert planet filled with unscrupulous junkers and harsh weather when she was fucking 6. What little she knew of the Jedi came from legends and tall tales that have become exaggerated over time.
I remember when the worst enemy of Star Wars was George Lucas and his endless edits of the original trilogy. Now we have Disney
Let's be fair. Nobody knew how to handle this franchise all the way from 1983 to almost present date. Nearly 8/11 films are either incomprehensible or the safest fanservice.
When you really think about it, beyond the prequels Jedi were nothing but myths and legends.
From our point of view as the audience we got to see many Jedi in the originals, and even sequels to an extent.
So when it comes to The Mandalorian at first I was confused as to why Din Djarin didn’t have any knowledge of the Jedi considering they took part in the history of Mandalore, even having a mandalorian jedi at one point. but considering how little we see of the Jedi from the perspectives of others in the galaxy it makes sense. And when Mando finally does meet a Jedi it is a true spectacle to behold, and he was likely honored to an extent fighting beside a warrior who survived Both the Clone Wars and Galactic civil war.
@Young Westthe Jedi order by the time of the prequels was also fairly small compared to the eras like the old republic, and it only continued to dwindle because of the clone wars, so it’s no surprise that by the time of shows like Star Wars Rebels the Jedi order was all but forgotten by those outside of the core worlds.
Kinda sad when you think about it honestly.
Another quibble about your beef with the unknown Jedi: not only was Luke barely aware of them (if at all), same was true of traveling smuggler Han Solo, even though his best friend has served with the Jedi during the Clone Wars. Also, Darth Vader's "ancient religion" was treated like a joke TO HIS FACE, meaning they clearly didn't understand how dangerous he or the Jedi were.
Maybe if Disney had used the Legends Universe instead throwing it to the side, they would have learned something about continuity in Star Wars.

Theory: Maybe Din (the Mandolorian) has never heard of the Jedi because he grew up on a backwater planet that the republic/Jedi didn’t care about even during the clone wars. So when the Separatists attacked the planet, the Death Watch cultists took it into their own hands to defend the planet from the droids since the Jedi and republic didn’t do anything and when they took Din as a foundling, they raised him away from some the real big stuff going on in the galaxy. He was only 5 when he was taken by the cultists, and the clone wars was just coming to an end so the Jedi purge happened not long after. The cultists probably thought they were all wiped out so they found no reason to explain who the Jedi were since they were no longer a threat and they wanted to rebuild their old ways and reciting their recent history would be a shit way of doing that. And if you say “but Din should have heard of the Jedi before he was taken” well think of it this way, during ww1 the Harlem Hellfighters were a famous regiment but do you think that people from places like Chile would have heard of them? Probably not
Edit: that’s probably a shitty analogy but you get what I mean
yeah im from chile and i dont have any idea who they are
Exactly what I was thinking! It makes sense for the mandalorian cult, with their control of information to control their members, to not have such knowledge available to anyone, and the knowledge that exists to be kept securely with certain trusted individuals who give it a massive 'legend' spin so it fits with their cult. After all talking about how mandalorians dealt with magic wizards fits the cult story a lot better than a sith lord taking the title of mandalore.
However, when you are researching these jedi, you should automatically run into people who (despite the empire suppressing all knowledge of them) still have memories about them or actually know jedi, such as Bo Katan. In this scenario it doesn't make sense that Marey Sue is so suprised etc.
We all have to keep in mind that however famous they once were, at the time of the clone wars and order 66 a lot of the people in the galaxy had never seen or met an actual jedi. It's like saying there are wizards on earth. They might exist, but 99/100 people would have never come into contact with one, which makes their existence doubtful in the least. It's the same with space marines in the 40k universe; our vision of that universe, as with star wars and it's jedi, is for a huge part based upon these elite warriors, but at the same time an average citizen in a hive city would probably have never seen one of these angels of death, and for a huge part of the population they would be myths and legends rather than actual living beings, whilst living at the same time.
Exactly. And to go off of that, Finn grew up as a CHILD SOLDIER and Rey grew up on an outer rim desert planet. Not to mention, the mandolorians and Jedi were rivals long before the phantom menace.
They're not death watch, but other than that pretty good
Also Jedi are basically bigfoot of the galaxy, there's 10 000 of them and the galaxy is so so big

This is the universe controlled by the Rebellion, and they are doing a piss poor job already, demonstrating yet again that the Empire are actually better, for the average person, governors than the Republic, the Rebellion or the RESISTANCE all of whom just get trillions of people killed and destroy working institutions only to replace them with strongman tyrants or feckless voids.

@@ca1ib0s Yeah, this is Princess Leia's government. Fighting a war of conceit. She so drunk with stupidity that she didn't use her Jedi mastery to personally intervene to stop her own son from killing his father, her brother, or billions of innocents across the galaxy. That's the ultimate legacy of the Jedi, way worse than the Sith.
Lets not forget that most people had no idea of who luke was at the time of the rebelion. The rebel allience basicly said that a random farm boy blew up the death star, in order to make others believe that they could do something simular.
Palpatine also basicly wiped the jedi out of the history books after formning the empire.
I found it particularly weird how little was known about the Jedi in the sequel trilogy and yet in Rise of Skywalker so many characters seemed aware of the Sith. Even more bizarre since not only were their few Sith but the order was very secretive, whereas there had been many Jedi and the existence of the order was well known.
When the Jedi were around in the clone wars compared to the amount of planets, people and battles going on, the Jedi were actually spread very very thin and most people would never have even seen one. If you had even heard of them they would have just been seen as myths. Especially in the outer rim planets Mando takes place on
plus he was raised in a cult that was generally cut off from the rest of the universe
Plus, the empire erased them from the history books.
Gotta love kids who dont lnow a anything about starwars
@@cosamglass7970 what?
@@vegasspaceprogram6623 The Jedi were ancient opponents of the Mandalorians, so Din should have known about the existence of the Jedi. And the cult argument is stupid because the armored women mention the legends of Mandalor the Great ,famous for conquering half of the galaxy and fighting the Jedi ... (not to mention the clone wars made Obi Wan and Anakin celebrities)
4:58 in my opinion, this is a poor example to use to illustrate mando's (or the galaxy's) lack of knowledge in reference to the jedi's existence. Here he remarks he's never interacted with a Jedi before, _not_ that he has no knowledge of their existence or history. I believe there's a few moments from either throughout season 1 or the beginning of season 2 that would've been much better examples to use to back up your point.
I now wish to see 1000 Elvis Presleys battle 1000 Michael Jacksons
Dude, the Elvis with the effects got me giggling non stop. Well done!
That Elvis and Michael Jackson analogy was HILARIOUS! I agree with you that Disney was and still is spastic for playing forgetful about the Jedi, however, it could still make more sense with the Mandalorian, as it's set mostly in the Outer Rim.
If the sequel trilogy made sense the younglings would've obliterated Rey
I suspect that the Empire tried to erase the Jedi order from history. The Mandalorian takes place before a new Jedi order has been established. Given the size of the Star Wars galaxy, I think it is reasonable that some people would be unaware of their existence.
The editing here is fantastic. “Before the dark times” - cuts to Disney Star Wars😂😂😂

You should do a vid on when star wars sponsored red bull
I can believe that Mando doesn't know the Jedi if the whole "raised by a cult" thing turns out to be true
Cults like it better if you don't know information of the outside world, the easier it is for them to manipulate your outside influence.
I actually disagree slightly for once, since Palpatine went through a lotta effort to kill Jedi, and people connected to them. This meant that the very mention of the word "Jedi" could get you killed. Also, Din Djarin spent most of his life sheltered from everything, since he was a Mandalorian. It also seems pretty unbelievable, and Jedi were generally just written out of History. That combined with no way to access information on Jedi (no history classes, access to Jedi archives/ holocrons restricted, no technology to store this information like the internet does) made it super difficult to know about the Jedi
Mando's weird sect seems to be in hiding for the most part. He was six? when they found him and saved him from clone troopers? So during the clone wars. We know Luke was 16 by Star Wars. I'm not sure how much time passed between then and RotJ. Not sure how much time passed between RotJ and the Mandolorian. Somehow Obi-Wan went from looking like Ewan McGregor to looking like Alec Guinness. Ahsoka went from a teenager to an adult Rosario Dawson (41?). Katie Sackoff played an adult during clone wars and is 40, and she looks pretty good for a Bo Katan who seemed pretty grown up during the Clone Wars. We got to assume he was in his thirties. Maybe his sect went into hiding and they just don't know much about Jedi.
"You think that there would be some type of legend regarding Luke Skywalker on Tatooine or even stories of Anakin, the boy from Tatooine, who grew up to help rule the galaxy."
There was. It's in the opening crawl of Empire Strikes Back. It's why Darth Vader was hunting down Luke Skywalker. For the second part. There's no stories of him ruling the galaxy because no one knows who Darth Vader was except a handful of people.
"A first order pilot told his wife about a confusing day at work where his boss and this old guy did a strange choreographed dance before the old guy disappeared like a cheap Canto Bite magician. That story jumped all the way to another planet and got told to the slave children within days. They'd already made action figures."
And that was stupid and one of the reasons I didn't like the Last Jedi.
"But on this small planet that was the home to a family that produced the only human to win the pod racing world championship in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands, including the local celebrity crime lord. The same pod race champion who returned as a Jedi and slaughtered a whole tribe to free and save mum."
Anikin killed all the sand people in the area. He only confessed this to Padme. Unless the Lars told people or kept it hushed to avoid sand people retaliating, we don't know who knows it happened. The sand people that came across the bodies later might suspect a Jedi did something based on the cuts and burns. No one can put a name to the person though.
"His son, who also came from Tatooine and returned as a Jedi to slaughter that same crime lord and his gang to free his friends."
Actually, the crime lord in Phantom Menace was Jabba's dad. Like U.S. gangster movies, sometimes they have a lot of people named after the head guy. There's a lot of relatives named Paul in Goodfellas, for example. " and his brothers had of sons and nephews. And almost all of them were Peter or Paul. It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding." I think most would have known he was a Jedi and that Luke Skywalker wanted to get his friends back. But even Jabba didn't believe he was a Jedi and the guy was probably full of it.
"The father going on to help lead the Empire. The son going on to free the galaxy. Yes, on this small planet, produced this very hard working family no one seems to know. They even existed or that the Jedi are real."
No one knows Vader is Luke's dad except a small group of people. Why do you assume a lot of people know Luke? Luke's some nobody from a backwater region in the outer rims. There might be like two towns near the moisture farm that might have heard of him. He's probably a legend as 'the guy who blew up the Death Star' and maybe as 'the guy who killed the Emperor.' We don't know for sure because we don't know the propaganda the old Trilogy's been spreading out there about the heroes of the Rebel Alliance.
I get the point you're trying to make but your examples suck. A better argument would be like cops. Jedi are like cops and have been for thousands of generations. Suddenly they're gone, or illegal, for trying to pull some kind of coup and within twenty years, no one has heard of them. By thirty years, they're legends and myths. Really? Thirty years? The movies treated them like a weird religious group that died out during the original trilogy. Even Grand Moff Tarkin talked about them like an old dying religion.
I think the problem is the prequels. Original trilogy set up Obi-Wan, an old man, and Darth Vader, a less older man, as these last two known force users. Like outside of them, they're extinct. To us, Jedi were a thing during WWII and then they were gone. That's how old it felt. Like really old men knew what they were and everyone else kinda thought it was a trick. Han was in his thirties during Star Wars and treated them like magicians. The prequels come in, makes Jedi way younger, condense the timeline. Luke's 16 and that's how long it's been since Jedi were officially cops. That feels like a weird detachment from the original trilogy.
What was the other thing you said? They're like Elvis only there's like a thousand of him? Yes, I agree. They're called Elvis impersonators. There's been thousands of them since Elvis passed and they're still around, slowly dying out, reminding us that he was around.
What you need to take from this is that the original trilogy treated Jedi like forty years passed and the prequels had a sixteen year gap. Tarkin called it a dying religion and Han heard of them, called the lightsaber ancient, and thought they were conning people. Jedi were hunted down and rare to see, and people told stories. But yes, based on the prequels, it'd be like seeing a cowboy walking around today. We'd recognize what that is but not expect to see them hanging out at local bars in the city outside of Halloween.
@Loganater You're wrong. Stinky is Jabba the Hutt from RotJ. He's a baby in that one. He's a green slug in Special Edition Star Wars and an adult in RotJ. The other Jabba, is Jabba Sr. from Phantom Menaace and the dad from the Clone Wars movie.
yep. robot head did bad on this one. too much hating the new stuff without arguments
Yes but to be fair the Mandalorian didn't know that there was also other Mandalorian tribes either hence Bo-Katan
In universe, the empire tried to bury the history of the Jedi. So it's like knowing about Elvis in North Korea
But even the people who were grown adults during the Republic don't know about the Jedi in the first season.
@@JATION The Mandalorian takes place on Tatooine and other Outer Rim planets. It's easy to assume folks never seen a Jedi nor heard of the full context of their powers.
@@squidlytv For someone born during the Empire, maybe. For someone much older, I find it unlikely.
@@JATION There might be a few people but as others have pointed out. Think of all the uninformed people within our real life world. Add on different nations and perhaps languages. It's plausible.
The OT has the same problems though, so it's not just a disney problem.
@@squidlytv The only person who is shown not to really know about the Jedi in the OT was Luke and he grew up during the Empire rule. They (as well as the Force) are common knowledge, even though some doubt their power.
Just occurs to me that Luke being kept ignorant of the Jedi during his youth reflects the medieval myth of Perceval, who was deliberately raised in the wilderness in ignorance of the existence of knights and chivalry.
Let’s not forget that the mechanic woman even said “praise the fucking force” when seeing the child yet no one knows about the Jedi
When the New Republic pilots meet Mando they use the greeting "May the Force be with you" and he responds in kind. So even if he didn't believe in the Force he must at least be aware of it in the same way that an atheist still knows about God.
Its the same as me saying "Thank God" in our world. Just because I say it doesn't mean I believe there is some invisible man in the sky.
@@vincesergi7339 not the same. Saying thank the force but not knowing what a Jedi is is like saying thank god but you never heard of a Christian or seen a church
@@bluemountain4181 yeah but the Jedi aren’t god. That’s like saying thank god but getting confused when someone talks about Christians and cathedrals
@@azraelwolfsblood2902 Christians aren't extinct.
The man was alive during the Clone Wars, so how does he not know what the Jedi are?
yeah the jedi were in charge of the clones so anywhere there was fighting there would have been jedi. People shouldat least know of their existence
Well he was pretty young when he was saved by the Mandalorians. It also looks like no Jedi came to rescue his village either and I doubt he really cared to know what Jedi were at that age. Also, once he got in with the Mandalorians they pretty much just hid away from everything.
I mean during the prequels / clone wars there were only 10,000 jedi so yeah not that much
Also the empire could have done a purge of all the knowledge of the Jedi so that barely anyone remembers them
@@jefftharakan1457 I really like that
Elvis vs Jackson bloody brilliant, now I want a Sith who says “SCHA~MOAN!”
Did you know that ninjas as we know them never actually existed? There were assassins and covert spies in historical Japan, but the name and overall concept of ninjas are works of fiction.
The Jedi are kind of the same thing, something that existed but are completely misunderstood in many parts of the SW galaxy
I miss George too.
Eternally grateful for everything.
I think you are forgetting how Han laughed off obi wan while he was training luke in ANH. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid”
