I honestly feel like the old order and Luke's order had good intentions, BUT, each path would have problems no matter what. But if i was to pick one, i'd pick Luke's method.
One of the things that I liked about Luke’s Jedi is that the older inductees brought with them their prior and personal skills and experience, making some of them far more effective Jedi than their abilities in Force could account for alone. Corran Horn, for instance, lacked the basic Jedi ability of telekinesis. Mara Jade was rather average or low level in her powers. However, no one can say that these two Jedi weak. Rather, their skills, intelligence and experience outside of the Order’s training made them two of Luke’s most capable Jedi.
Mara started out average, but when she moved in with Luke she just kept growing and growing. She's one of the big 3 masters under his tenure as Grandmaster for a reason. Weaker in the force than Kyle Katarn and Kyp Durron of course, but far above average.
I remember playing KOTOR and ranting to my friends about my conversations with Bastille, how in spite of her power she and many of the Jedi were sheltered and weak. They never had most of the foundational, developmental experiences and opportunities to learn and grow that the rest of us do and that was why so many of them had failed. Luke's biggest advantage wasn't just the power he inherited from Anikin but that all of his most important lessons weren't spoon fed to him, he had to earn them and they served him well.
The reason that I believe that Luke's order is better is because he treated his followers as human beings. The old Jedi heavily monitored their own Order, because they were always constantly afraid of people defying the code. That seems almost like a prison, and those that weren't completely aligned with the rules were always treated badly

One problem with the Order is that they force the Jedi not to have attachments. Even if you are of the belief that attachments can become a weakness and a path to the darkside, it can only be achieved through the individual Jedi choosing that path for themselves. It would be the difference between choosing not to do something, as opposed to being forced not to do something. E.g; Choosing not to kill someone VS being forced not to kill someone. One shows strength to make the right choice, the other shows nothing, as they were never given the chance to prove themselves. If someone never experiences these ethical dilemmas, they won’t know how to deal with them. Side note, I’m pretty sure Revan said that this was even more of a weakness. Positive emotions can turn to negative emotions. Love for someone becomes fear for their safety becomes the dark side, etc. But just as the dark side can draw strength from negative emotions, the light side can draw strength from positive emotions. The Jedi are ironically acting out of fear.
Yet the Jedi had an attachment.....to the Senate, instead of the people of the Republic. Couple that with the Jedi's attachment to the Jedi Council (where only likeminded Jedi were allowed) and the resulting dogma.
That's why Luke wanted some to study into the dark side as well. He wanted Jedi to embrace love. And even the negative emotions like the fear of losing a loved one you could harness it into a feeling of absolute justice
Instead, we got Disney's version of Luke skywalkers Jedi academy in which he literally repeated the same mistakes that they did and had the same damn outcome 🤦🏿♂️

Don’t matter whether Yoda had experience or not (which btw we all saw how Yoda rebuked and could have been even more powerful than Sidious) with the dark side. Yoda was still way too powerful for Luke to even defeat. The best and most powerful Jedis ever were during Yodas Grandmaster reign.

Even Qui-gon's master, though he may have given Luke the sideye for distilling the 7 lightsaber forms down to three and not teaching the classics at least as supplemental lessons
Luke definitely had it right, in fact Yoda was still blinded by what the old order was by initially refusing to train Luke. Could you imagine what would've have happened if Kenobi's spirit had not forced Yoda to relinquish his decision? It would have doomed the Galaxy in my opinion and lead Luke to becoming a True Sith....
Hey was closer to the very original je-di in a way, yoga’s order. Trying to seek balance in the force and follow the will of the force will make them far more powerful the Yoda’s order.
I think it was ultimately a big strength to accept older candidates. Part of the old orders fault was creating knights whos primary filter and understanding of the universe was jedi dogma. At the least, they had a harder time adapting to the realities of the universe, and in the worst cases could decide that things should be forced to fit their understanding. Allowing all ages brought both valuable experience, and different perspectives built on lives outside the order. And as to the kids, it was similar. Yeah, they grew up "in the temple" but the temple was made up of much more varied jedi, and as maybe the masterstroke, they werent "required" to stay in, and were allowed to do their own thing, but they also had not just the formal loyalty to the order, but loyalty to their FAMILY, both by blood and not. That kind of bond carries a lot more weight than formal oaths.
The Old Order as much as they would talk about fear being such a taboo. They themselves we're the most fearful. Preferring programmable, unquestioning robots, rather than personnel that wrestled with, understood and had the opportunity to overcome their struggles with morality. The New Order represented a truly compassionate, loving, and redemptive approach that the guardians of light would bring towards conflict. In the Old Order there was virtually no form method of redemption. It was "oh no, he/she's to old" Or "so and so has been utterly consumed by the dark side with nothing remaining". The New Order extends a hand saying "you can be different; you can be better." "There's still an opportunity for you yet, if you will choose to walk in the light".
I think Luke was right and in my head-Legends-canon i like to image he found a journal or some notes over the matter belonging to redeem Revan just before starting his academy but after the Thrawn Trilogy. Almost like Darth Bane with the holocron of Darth Revan. I think we would like to know what Luke would have though a Revan himself
You know it’s silly as it may sound Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a perfect example. When they try to make her have no attachments she was killed time and time again. The slayer. But when she had attachments when she had something to fight for something to love more than just a love a few Maddie itself, I gave her a reason to fight harder, more of a purpose more of a drive.
He seemed to have adopted the teachings of Qui Gon Jin in having attachments and harnessing the connection and feelings for their force powers and their lightsaber. He might have also adopted some leanings of Mace Windu because Mace was Balanced in the force, knowing both light and dark and therefore able to use both powers without succumbing to the dark side. That’s how Luke was able to create a synthetic crystal and in the mandalorian used force choke. Had Luke found a natural kyber crystal it would have likely been purple as the color stood for balance in the force.
Stupendous Wave, you gotta use the right terminology my guy. Luke's Student was a *_Witch of Dathomir_* but not a Night Sister. The Night Sisters are dark siders.
Luke's Jedi academy had a wide range of different backgrounds regardless what age they were and they're actually allowed to have families so generations they'll protect the galaxy
Seeing how legends Luke would go out of his way to train and rehabilitate Dark siders even when he knew they were there to destroy his order or had done some fucked up things makes me hate how lazy the writters were with Last Jedi.
While his jedi order still faced the issues of jedi falling to the dark side, Luke's new order was definitely better than the old. I wonder how Cade would have rebuilt it and what rules he would change?
Would he have rebuilt it at all? Cade was fiercely independent. At best I imagine Cade might have just trained one apprentice at a time, graduated (knighted?) Them and taken another, allowing the Jedi to start slowly repopulating as independent force users following a general lineage of positive teachings Almost like a non-exclusive, growing Jedi Paralel to Bane's order.
Makes me wonder how many Jedi felt of a dark side because of how dogmatic the Jedi order was. Luke took away a lot of that dogma leading peoples natural instinct and exclamations become part of the Jedi order and who they were. And turn probably keeping quite a few people from ever turning to the Darkside and getting swallowed up by it.
Actually, the thing about "no attachments" in Lukes order is, in my opinion, much closer to the buddhist an daoistic teachings (on which, i presume, the idea is based) than that of the Yodas order. "No attachments" does not mean "no relations". It's more like not being too focused on the things that are important for you. You have to strive for something, whereas in Jedi ways of Yodas order it was "obey the orders" kind of stuff. The problem is that the latter is good for those who cannot yet grasp the idea of perfecting yourself as a purpose. This "later you'll understand", though, is problem, for example, for Anakin, for whom, i guess, it resembled the slavery which he escaped. The other thing is not being able to leave the order for a time to process things. Of course, studying many ways at the same time is bad for training, but take a break is very important (let's think of it as of a gap year). Again, it's bad for kids, who were the main audience in the Temple, thus it was easier to forbade doing so for everyone. To sum up, the Republic Jedi became too rigid, not being able to use individual approach or, at least, specify it for different age groups, which led to that approach being ineffective and even harmful.
@@DLR1997 cannot disagree here. But look, the thing is that when things were in such way, the Order was not as rigid as it was in Yoda times. I didn't actually mean that before Luke things were not as you describe. I only meant prequels, since i watched only basic six films and nothing else.
Well, it's questionable.....Whether you look at Legends or Disney Canon, Dooku had started to lose faith in the Jedi order for a while. In legends, he feared that the Sith were returning, but was brushed off every time he expressed those concerns. What turned him was Sidious presenting him with footage of his former apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn, dying at Darth Maul's hand. Like Anakin, Sidious used his attachments and emotions to turn him. In Disney Canon, Dooku had not only lost faith, but had secretly turned before Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan even went to fight Darth Maul. Anakin, no matter how you slice it, was doomed to turn. His fears about those he loved being harmed or killed were constantly being brushed off, he was told to simply let them go and it fueled an intense feeling that he was being ignored, held back and disrespected by them. And all the while, Sidious, as Palpatine, was always there, "listening" to his concerns, giving him council, praising him and fueling the dark fire growing inside him until the moment was right. But, if I had to say anything in regards to which was easier to turn, it was probably Anakin.....Dooku had his fears and concerns, but didn't turn until he was much older, and it was a slower process. Anakin, upon receiving even the tiniest false hope that he could save the ones he loved if he turned, turned on a dime.
Actually, we CAN fault the Jedi for their flawed acceptance an training practices. Cuz they showed, especially at their end, how laughably BAD they are at understanding the bigger galaxy. An helping those in need in general. Even their own most famously. Something those like Anakin, Dooku an Eben Qui Gon expressed SERIOUS ISSUES with. An Sith like Palpatine made point to capitalize on... when he finally destroyed them Honestly seems like Luke mostly corrected MANY of the issues especially the glaring serious ones the old Republic Jedi messed up on. Like no attachments an no personal intermarriage Jedi families. Which would made keeping a high number of Jedi peacekeepers possibly EASY or least easier for Yoda an Co back in day. Lack of great numbers at least, an perhaps some exceptionally powerful Jedi literally born into it that could been additional "Anakin" or "Mace" level an similar Jedi is large part of why the Jedi needed the GAR in the first place. An just think of what they coulda done if they'd had the numbers to field just one battalion/wing or squadron of an ALL Jedi combat unit.. like their ancient ancestors did.. such a groups could made all the difference. An Luke got it right having adult trainees too. As they CHOSE to be Jedi Lightsiders despite even opposite origins. A fact Yodas Era somehow lost. Such Jedi aren't or even CANT be corrupted. An could even cause some real issues for even some of the most fearsome Clone Wars Era foes the Jedi had in all kinds of ways with additional skills that weren't even expected.
luke was correct. it would also help improve public oppinion of the jedi order. in one of the legends books there is even a couple that was working for the jedi order in some capasety in the temple or realy closely with them, but once they got a child that was force sensetive the jedi order took the child and banned the couple from having anything to do with the jedi temple aigen. the couple was still loyal to the jedi even afther that but their elder son that was old enough to remember what happend was quite resentfull of the jedi order with how they treathed his family once the force sensetive child was born. i dont remember if its from the old sithwar era or slightly before the clonewars the book is set to. but its defenitly shows a darker side of the order.
The old Jedi order reminds me of the church. At the first look they seem to have good intentions, but when you look behind the curtain you’ll find some controversial sh*t… I’d go with Luke’s order all day.
In Legends timeline pretty much any force user in Yuuzan Vong-Legacy of Force era is far above Yoda in power. Kyp Durron,Caedus,Jaina Solo,Ben,Krayt. They are all far above Sidious by feats and scaling. Its something fans have a hard time COPING with. Kyp Durrons black hole feat and performance against an older Luke in sparring utterly embarrasses Vader. Jaina matched Kyp Durron As for Caedus,Luke didnt sat he was stronger than Vader cause thats all he was,he was compared to him cause he was his grandfather and had similar fall. Not to mention he grew expontially powerful over time,he only lost cause he was injured and his sister was given Lukes power,Caedus even said she was as strong as Luke in that moment. And he still barely lost Luke didnt become "twice" as strong as Sidious That statement was referring to how strong Anakin would become quickly after killing Obiwan. Even Dark Empire Sidious is far more than twice the power of his EP3 self. Grandmaster Luke scales comfortably in the HUNDREDS of times above peak Sidious Deathbattle made a grave mistake comparing Obi-Wan to Kyp Durron. Kyp would literally vaporize him with a gesture,Luke only compared him to Obiwan when he was untrained. He even said that Kyp turning to the darkside would be more destructive than Anakin becoming Vader Thats right,the Chosen One Anakin would get BULLIED by his granddaughter. So would Vader
I know, right? And when Jacen was flow walking to the times of ROTJ and thought that Anakin was barely trained at the time he fell. I think it speaks a lot to the training that the Older Order gave. I have no doubt that the Jedi of the older order *could* do this. But when you streamline your training, much of the unique aspects of training is lost.
The Palpatine clones were Palpatine at his full potential. The guy was obsessed with leaving forever. And heavy use of the Darkside corrupts the body, preventing healing, and without any knowledge of ancient Sith rituals, would’ve excellerated the aging process. But, with the steady supply of clones and the prospect of gaining the Solo children to transfer his essence into, he no longer cared about that limitation. Anakin and his twin children would’ve been at least twice as powerful as the Palpatine clones if they were to ever go on to reach their full potential, which is increased with your knowledge, experience, use of and when you push yourself to your limits. Lucas’ power scaling placed Luke as achieving near the full potential of the Chosen One, which was the same as Anakin and Leia’s potential. Only falling short of that by 5% due to the loss of his hand. Just as Anakin’s potential connection to the Force was cut in half due to the loss of his limbs. Legends Luke how ever was limited below that since most of his development happened before Lucas came up with the idea that the Skywalkers had the highest Force potential in history by at least a factor of two. Legends explained this, I think, as Luke having had a late start and had to figure everything beyond the bare basics on his own. That Luke wouldn’t learn that for the Skywalkers, there basically were no comparative limits until he was near the age of retirement. Otherwise, by Lucas’ power scaling, Luke would’ve been very near as powerful as Abeloth (95%), as opposed to only being 1/12 of that.
I feel Luke’s Jedi also need a new Code, as the old Jedi Code doesn’t align with his philosophy. Luke's Jedi embrace attachments, emotion, and passion, allowing for open romance and marriage. They operate with a more nuanced, adaptable, balanced, supportive, understanding, insightful, empathetic, and healthy approach to emotions and The Force. Unlike the old Order, which maintained a rigid philosophy that suppressed or avoided natural emotions. As Luke's Order recognize that these aspects of life can be channelled constructively and actually helps Jedi to understand and control their emotions, rather than suppressing them, it strengthens their connection to the Force. My version of Luke’s Code is: In emotion, there is understanding. In knowledge, there is wisdom. In passion, there is purpose. In chaos, there is harmony. In everything, there is the Force. I feel that this Code reflects Luke’s more holistic approach to the Force. Unlike the old Order, which futilely shunned emotions and attachments, Luke’s Order allows for and embraces these elements as integral to their growth and effectiveness. They actively seek to understand the Dark Side, not to fear it, to avoid the ignorance and arrogance that led to the downfall of the old Jedi Order.
Listening to the storylines and names from the EU books brings me back. It also makes me a little sad for what could have been had Disney followed Lucas's plan for the final trilogy or they borrowed directly from the EU books. Comparing Disney Luke to EU Luke just reminds me of how Disney did him so, so wrong. So for me the EU is canon and the crap Disney put out is just poorly written fan fiction.
I don't even think you should have to pledge allegiance to the jedi first and foremost. What makes you worthy of training is your path, who you choose to be. That should be what keeps them in the order, the fact they want to be there and want to be jedi
Luke's Jedi Order is far better. Luke allowed marriage,love. He encouraged it. This was true way. Very smart. Jedi born other Force-sensitive. It's not problem he trained dark side affiliates. He did good. His Jedi Order is far better. May the Force be with you too😊
To quote parthanaxx from skyrim. Tell me is it better to have never made a mistake or is it better to have made the mistake and corrected the behavior afterward? He asked this when you tell him the blades want you to kill him.
Although I don't have a much of a problem with Luke's character in episodes 7, 8 and 9, I also like how Luke's character was portrayed in legends. I really wish the makers of Star Wars just made a story line and stuck with it till the end, instead of having both legend story lines and canon story lines.
In current lore Luke is a joke. No offense. Yoda trained every single notable Jedi we know, not to mention Anakin (the chosen one) and Luke himself. So flat out Luke thinking that is laughable. Legends Luke however was damn near a force God. Battling Darth Kryat, The Vong, A reborn Palpatine, etc.
Luke: My Jedi Order is more powerful than the old one! *Cue his Jedi Order falling after a couple of decades of existing in comparison to the thousands of years that the old Jedi Order existed for before falling to Order 66. (At least in Disney Canon)*
Luke's arrogance led him to believe that he was qualified to train jedi , even though he had minimal training himself . That is like someone considering themselves a master mechanic just because they put air in their tires once . Or someone considering themselves a doctor just because they once gave someone a aspirin.
The reason Luke said that has several answers : 1. Luke wasn't too smart . 2. Luke was arrogant . 3. Luke knew nothing about the jedi . 4. Luke was yoda's greatest failure. 5. The legend of Luke Skywalker was overhyped .
They really werent- it took a millenia for the order to fall to decadence and corrupt practices. Lukes school was like that fly that knows things can kill it, and then proceeds to fly into a bonfire.
I realized how Einstein succeeded. He succeeded, because he read the Bible. By the way, I plan to study all other religions. POLYTHEISM AND OMNISM!!! Polytheism means to believe in many Gods and Goddesses. Omnism is the belief in all religions and knowing that no religion is the absolute truth, but every religion contains truth. Monotheism means to believe in only one God. Deism is the belief that there is a God, without submitting to a particular religion. I recommend that you start with Christianity. Read to be saved, to learn to be good and to become more and more successful!
So by this point of view...Anakin didn't just bring balance to the force by destroying the Sith, but by being the result of the Jedi Order's failings
I believe Anakin was the catalyst of the balance of the force being a reset. If that makes sense.
Like a Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes. To quote Lord Beerus from Dragon Ball: "Before creation, comes destruction."
That's what the legend cannon was supposed to do
Bringing balance to the force doesn't necessarily mean needing to destroy the Sith. If one side of the force is more dominating than the other then the force seeks to correct this which is what happened with the fall of the Jedi.

Luke's new jedi order i think was better. His father would've supported it even Qui-gon-jinn.
Even Qui-gon's master, though he may have given Luke the sideye for distilling the 7 lightsaber forms down to three and not teaching the classics at least as supplemental lessons
This needed another edit. Brakiss wasn't killed by Leia. He died when the Shadow Academy self destructed during its attack on the Jedi Praxeum.
Honestly I think this is the Luke Skywalker that should have been in the sequel Trilogy 9:30
Luke had to train who was available, which was better than the way it was before.
Disney should've tried to bring this sort of thing alive instead of what we got. Damn you Disney.
Would’ve been beautiful
Luke definitely had it right, in fact Yoda was still blinded by what the old order was by initially refusing to train Luke. Could you imagine what would've have happened if Kenobi's spirit had not forced Yoda to relinquish his decision? It would have doomed the Galaxy in my opinion and lead Luke to becoming a True Sith....
Hey was closer to the very original je-di in a way, yoga’s order. Trying to seek balance in the force and follow the will of the force will make them far more powerful the Yoda’s order.
I think it was ultimately a big strength to accept older candidates. Part of the old orders fault was creating knights whos primary filter and understanding of the universe was jedi dogma.
At the least, they had a harder time adapting to the realities of the universe, and in the worst cases could decide that things should be forced to fit their understanding.
Allowing all ages brought both valuable experience, and different perspectives built on lives outside the order.
And as to the kids, it was similar. Yeah, they grew up "in the temple" but the temple was made up of much more varied jedi, and as maybe the masterstroke, they werent "required" to stay in, and were allowed to do their own thing, but they also had not just the formal loyalty to the order, but loyalty to their FAMILY, both by blood and not. That kind of bond carries a lot more weight than formal oaths.
Man, a game or show focusing on the New Jedi Order under Luke and Katarn and the life and times of padawans could've been so cool.
The Old Order as much as they would talk about fear being such a taboo. They themselves we're the most fearful. Preferring programmable, unquestioning robots, rather than personnel that wrestled with, understood and had the opportunity to overcome their struggles with morality. The New Order represented a truly compassionate, loving, and redemptive approach that the guardians of light would bring towards conflict. In the Old Order there was virtually no form method of redemption. It was "oh no, he/she's to old" Or "so and so has been utterly consumed by the dark side with nothing remaining". The New Order extends a hand saying "you can be different; you can be better." "There's still an opportunity for you yet, if you will choose to walk in the light".
Isn't it sad that we could have gotten these stories but instead we got Ep-7-8-9.
Yeah
Luke's jedi academy was definitely the better way going about it
Not
I think Luke was right and in my head-Legends-canon i like to image he found a journal or some notes over the matter belonging to redeem Revan just before starting his academy but after the Thrawn Trilogy. Almost like Darth Bane with the holocron of Darth Revan. I think we would like to know what Luke would have though a Revan himself
I like this and it works with my head canon too
In legends aka the EU he did if I remember correctly
You know it’s silly as it may sound Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a perfect example. When they try to make her have no attachments she was killed time and time again. The slayer. But when she had attachments when she had something to fight for something to love more than just a love a few Maddie itself, I gave her a reason to fight harder, more of a purpose more of a drive.
What I don't like about lukes academy in cannon is that he repeats the previous order mistakes by not allowing attachments & marriage in his order
He seemed to have adopted the teachings of Qui Gon Jin in having attachments and harnessing the connection and feelings for their force powers and their lightsaber. He might have also adopted some leanings of Mace Windu because Mace was Balanced in the force, knowing both light and dark and therefore able to use both powers without succumbing to the dark side. That’s how Luke was able to create a synthetic crystal and in the mandalorian used force choke. Had Luke found a natural kyber crystal it would have likely been purple as the color stood for balance in the force.
Stupendous Wave, you gotta use the right terminology my guy. Luke's Student was a *_Witch of Dathomir_* but not a Night Sister. The Night Sisters are dark siders.
Luke's Jedi academy had a wide range of different backgrounds regardless what age they were and they're actually allowed to have families so generations they'll protect the galaxy
Seeing how legends Luke would go out of his way to train and rehabilitate Dark siders even when he knew they were there to destroy his order or had done some fucked up things makes me hate how lazy the writters were with Last Jedi.
4:47 Did they really think Luke wouldn’t pick up on that. “Your thoughts betray you.”
I really liked that variant of the new Jedi Order. I miss it.
I think it depends on what your goals are and the needs of that time.
While his jedi order still faced the issues of jedi falling to the dark side, Luke's new order was definitely better than the old. I wonder how Cade would have rebuilt it and what rules he would change?
Would he have rebuilt it at all? Cade was fiercely independent.
At best I imagine Cade might have just trained one apprentice at a time, graduated (knighted?) Them and taken another, allowing the Jedi to start slowly repopulating as independent force users following a general lineage of positive teachings
Almost like a non-exclusive, growing Jedi Paralel to Bane's order.
Why couldn't we have seen THESE stories in the movies??? These are so much better!
Makes me wonder how many Jedi felt of a dark side because of how dogmatic the Jedi order was. Luke took away a lot of that dogma leading peoples natural instinct and exclamations become part of the Jedi order and who they were. And turn probably keeping quite a few people from ever turning to the Darkside and getting swallowed up by it.
Actually, the thing about "no attachments" in Lukes order is, in my opinion, much closer to the buddhist an daoistic teachings (on which, i presume, the idea is based) than that of the Yodas order. "No attachments" does not mean "no relations". It's more like not being too focused on the things that are important for you. You have to strive for something, whereas in Jedi ways of Yodas order it was "obey the orders" kind of stuff. The problem is that the latter is good for those who cannot yet grasp the idea of perfecting yourself as a purpose. This "later you'll understand", though, is problem, for example, for Anakin, for whom, i guess, it resembled the slavery which he escaped. The other thing is not being able to leave the order for a time to process things. Of course, studying many ways at the same time is bad for training, but take a break is very important (let's think of it as of a gap year). Again, it's bad for kids, who were the main audience in the Temple, thus it was easier to forbade doing so for everyone. To sum up, the Republic Jedi became too rigid, not being able to use individual approach or, at least, specify it for different age groups, which led to that approach being ineffective and even harmful.
They used to have a relationship with each other and had families until about four thousand years before the battle of Yavin by Master Atris
@@DLR1997 cannot disagree here. But look, the thing is that when things were in such way, the Order was not as rigid as it was in Yoda times. I didn't actually mean that before Luke things were not as you describe. I only meant prequels, since i watched only basic six films and nothing else.
Yeah I think Luke had it right. That's all I'm gonna say on that. Except one thing Darth Caedus.
Who was easier for Palpatine to turn to the dark side Anakin or Dooku?
Well, it's questionable.....Whether you look at Legends or Disney Canon, Dooku had started to lose faith in the Jedi order for a while. In legends, he feared that the Sith were returning, but was brushed off every time he expressed those concerns. What turned him was Sidious presenting him with footage of his former apprentice, Qui-Gon Jinn, dying at Darth Maul's hand. Like Anakin, Sidious used his attachments and emotions to turn him. In Disney Canon, Dooku had not only lost faith, but had secretly turned before Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan even went to fight Darth Maul. Anakin, no matter how you slice it, was doomed to turn. His fears about those he loved being harmed or killed were constantly being brushed off, he was told to simply let them go and it fueled an intense feeling that he was being ignored, held back and disrespected by them. And all the while, Sidious, as Palpatine, was always there, "listening" to his concerns, giving him council, praising him and fueling the dark fire growing inside him until the moment was right. But, if I had to say anything in regards to which was easier to turn, it was probably Anakin.....Dooku had his fears and concerns, but didn't turn until he was much older, and it was a slower process. Anakin, upon receiving even the tiniest false hope that he could save the ones he loved if he turned, turned on a dime.
I think you're right. Thanks for the great response.@@19TheFallen
Both in the end were easy to turn sadly
Kip was a badass. He was a crack pilot against the Vong too.
Actually, we CAN fault the Jedi for their flawed acceptance an training practices. Cuz they showed, especially at their end, how laughably BAD they are at understanding the bigger galaxy. An helping those in need in general. Even their own most famously. Something those like Anakin, Dooku an Eben Qui Gon expressed SERIOUS ISSUES with. An Sith like Palpatine made point to capitalize on... when he finally destroyed them
Honestly seems like Luke mostly corrected MANY of the issues especially the glaring serious ones the old Republic Jedi messed up on. Like no attachments an no personal intermarriage Jedi families. Which would made keeping a high number of Jedi peacekeepers possibly EASY or least easier for Yoda an Co back in day. Lack of great numbers at least, an perhaps some exceptionally powerful Jedi literally born into it that could been additional "Anakin" or "Mace" level an similar Jedi is large part of why the Jedi needed the GAR in the first place. An just think of what they coulda done if they'd had the numbers to field just one battalion/wing or squadron of an ALL Jedi combat unit.. like their ancient ancestors did.. such a groups could made all the difference. An Luke got it right having adult trainees too. As they CHOSE to be Jedi Lightsiders despite even opposite origins. A fact Yodas Era somehow lost. Such Jedi aren't or even CANT be corrupted. An could even cause some real issues for even some of the most fearsome Clone Wars Era foes the Jedi had in all kinds of ways with additional skills that weren't even expected.
luke was correct. it would also help improve public oppinion of the jedi order. in one of the legends books there is even a couple that was working for the jedi order in some capasety in the temple or realy closely with them, but once they got a child that was force sensetive the jedi order took the child and banned the couple from having anything to do with the jedi temple aigen. the couple was still loyal to the jedi even afther that but their elder son that was old enough to remember what happend was quite resentfull of the jedi order with how they treathed his family once the force sensetive child was born.
i dont remember if its from the old sithwar era or slightly before the clonewars the book is set to. but its defenitly shows a darker side of the order.
The old Jedi order reminds me of the church. At the first look they seem to have good intentions, but when you look behind the curtain you’ll find some controversial sh*t…
I’d go with Luke’s order all day.
In Legends timeline pretty much any force user in Yuuzan Vong-Legacy of Force era is far above Yoda in power.
Kyp Durron,Caedus,Jaina Solo,Ben,Krayt.
They are all far above Sidious by feats and scaling.
Its something fans have a hard time COPING with.
Kyp Durrons black hole feat and performance against an older Luke in sparring utterly embarrasses Vader.
Jaina matched Kyp Durron
As for Caedus,Luke didnt sat he was stronger than Vader cause thats all he was,he was compared to him cause he was his grandfather and had similar fall.
Not to mention he grew expontially powerful over time,he only lost cause he was injured and his sister was given Lukes power,Caedus even said she was as strong as Luke in that moment.
And he still barely lost
Luke didnt become "twice" as strong as Sidious
That statement was referring to how strong Anakin would become quickly after killing Obiwan.
Even Dark Empire Sidious is far more than twice the power of his EP3 self.
Grandmaster Luke scales comfortably in the HUNDREDS of times above peak Sidious
Deathbattle made a grave mistake comparing Obi-Wan to Kyp Durron.
Kyp would literally vaporize him with a gesture,Luke only compared him to Obiwan when he was untrained.
He even said that Kyp turning to the darkside would be more destructive than Anakin becoming Vader
Thats right,the Chosen One Anakin would get BULLIED by his granddaughter.
So would Vader
Well technically Luke compared Obi Wan to Kyp according to legends. That's why they used it.
I know, right? And when Jacen was flow walking to the times of ROTJ and thought that Anakin was barely trained at the time he fell. I think it speaks a lot to the training that the Older Order gave. I have no doubt that the Jedi of the older order *could* do this. But when you streamline your training, much of the unique aspects of training is lost.
Nobody mentioned is above DE Sidious, only GM Luke was
The Palpatine clones were Palpatine at his full potential. The guy was obsessed with leaving forever. And heavy use of the Darkside corrupts the body, preventing healing, and without any knowledge of ancient Sith rituals, would’ve excellerated the aging process. But, with the steady supply of clones and the prospect of gaining the Solo children to transfer his essence into, he no longer cared about that limitation.
Anakin and his twin children would’ve been at least twice as powerful as the Palpatine clones if they were to ever go on to reach their full potential, which is increased with your knowledge, experience, use of and when you push yourself to your limits.
Lucas’ power scaling placed Luke as achieving near the full potential of the Chosen One, which was the same as Anakin and Leia’s potential. Only falling short of that by 5% due to the loss of his hand. Just as Anakin’s potential connection to the Force was cut in half due to the loss of his limbs.
Legends Luke how ever was limited below that since most of his development happened before Lucas came up with the idea that the Skywalkers had the highest Force potential in history by at least a factor of two. Legends explained this, I think, as Luke having had a late start and had to figure everything beyond the bare basics on his own. That Luke wouldn’t learn that for the Skywalkers, there basically were no comparative limits until he was near the age of retirement. Otherwise, by Lucas’ power scaling, Luke would’ve been very near as powerful as Abeloth (95%), as opposed to only being 1/12 of that.
I feel Luke’s Jedi also need a new Code, as the old Jedi Code doesn’t align with his philosophy. Luke's Jedi embrace attachments, emotion, and passion, allowing for open romance and marriage. They operate with a more nuanced, adaptable, balanced, supportive, understanding, insightful, empathetic, and healthy approach to emotions and The Force. Unlike the old Order, which maintained a rigid philosophy that suppressed or avoided natural emotions. As Luke's Order recognize that these aspects of life can be channelled constructively and actually helps Jedi to understand and control their emotions, rather than suppressing them, it strengthens their connection to the Force.
My version of Luke’s Code is:
In emotion, there is understanding.
In knowledge, there is wisdom.
In passion, there is purpose.
In chaos, there is harmony.
In everything, there is the Force.
I feel that this Code reflects Luke’s more holistic approach to the Force. Unlike the old Order, which futilely shunned emotions and attachments, Luke’s Order allows for and embraces these elements as integral to their growth and effectiveness. They actively seek to understand the Dark Side, not to fear it, to avoid the ignorance and arrogance that led to the downfall of the old Jedi Order.
The New Jedi Order by Grandmaster Luke Skywalker,is the way they should’ve always been.
To be fair to the old order, I also think even Obi-Won and Yoda had come to realize the mistakes and help guide Luke regarding the New order.
Listening to the storylines and names from the EU books brings me back. It also makes me a little sad for what could have been had Disney followed Lucas's plan for the final trilogy or they borrowed directly from the EU books. Comparing Disney Luke to EU Luke just reminds me of how Disney did him so, so wrong. So for me the EU is canon and the crap Disney put out is just poorly written fan fiction.
The two witches were not nightsisters n therefore not from a dark side background.
What an interesting video
I don't even think you should have to pledge allegiance to the jedi first and foremost. What makes you worthy of training is your path, who you choose to be. That should be what keeps them in the order, the fact they want to be there and want to be jedi
Love Legends Luke, this is the real Star Wars!
Luke is right from my point of you!
Legends Luke trained Jedi that were more powerful than Jedi in the old high Republic era before the sith wars.
You did not just say that

However, during one specialized training session...
The Old Jedi were wrong. Criminal even.
5:09 A rookie editing mistake which I did not expect to see from jedi masters such as yourself...
now this is Luke Skywalker the one I know
the answer is simple. yoda's jedi order was a cult. luke's is more like a martial arts academy
I don' think you know what a cult is. None of the Clone War era Jedi were conditioned to worship Yoda or even the council.
To quote parthanaxx from skyrim. Tell me is it better to have never made a mistake or is it better to have made the mistake and corrected the behavior afterward? He asked this when you tell him the blades want you to kill him.
Although I don't have a much of a problem with Luke's character in episodes 7, 8 and 9, I also like how Luke's character was portrayed in legends. I really wish the makers of Star Wars just made a story line and stuck with it till the end, instead of having both legend story lines and canon story lines.
Luke's order is clearly better
In current lore Luke is a joke. No offense. Yoda trained every single notable Jedi we know, not to mention Anakin (the chosen one) and Luke himself. So flat out Luke thinking that is laughable. Legends Luke however was damn near a force God. Battling Darth Kryat, The Vong, A reborn Palpatine, etc.
They really did him dirty in canon
Luke: My Jedi Order is more powerful than the old one!
*Cue his Jedi Order falling after a couple of decades of existing in comparison to the thousands of years that the old Jedi Order existed for before falling to Order 66. (At least in Disney Canon)*
Disney ruined so much potential it hurts
Would have been great to see his jedi order. Lucasfilm are complete clowns.
Sorry luke the only one from his order that could take the likes of yoda Windu and anakin
Kyp durron badss jedi.
The old Jedi order was incredibly dogmatic and extremist.
Luke's arrogance led him to believe that he was qualified to train jedi , even though he had minimal training himself .
That is like someone considering themselves a master mechanic just because they put air in their tires once .
Or someone considering themselves a doctor just because they once gave someone a aspirin.
Luke was well trained, experienced and knowledgeable when he started to train jedi
The reason Luke said that has several answers :
1. Luke wasn't too smart .
2. Luke was arrogant .
3. Luke knew nothing about the jedi .
4. Luke was yoda's greatest failure.
5. The legend of Luke Skywalker was overhyped .

Rise of Kylo Ren is pretty much the only canon source about Luke's canon order. Honestly it's pretty boring 😢😮

Make it lame and put a chick in it - Kathleen kennedy
The strongest Jedi were during Yodas time as Grandmaster. There is just way too many powerful Jedis during Yodas reign as Grandmaster! Way too many!
They really werent- it took a millenia for the order to fall to decadence and corrupt practices. Lukes school was like that fly that knows things can kill it, and then proceeds to fly into a bonfire.
Thank you I was thinking the same thing.

POLYTHEISM AND OMNISM!!!
Polytheism means to believe in many Gods and Goddesses. Omnism is the belief in all religions and knowing that no religion is the absolute truth, but every religion contains truth.
Monotheism means to believe in only one God. Deism is the belief that there is a God, without submitting to a particular religion. I recommend that you start with Christianity. Read to be saved, to learn to be good and to become more and more successful!
