    This is why I think for the most part the prequel trilogy was written well. I never understood the people who hated the whole prequel trilogy. I think it brought so much lore and story and amazing art design, none of which existed in the Disney trilogy.

    • @marcbartuschka6372
      @marcbartuschka6372 3 года назад +40

      Let us be honest there are quite some reasons to hate them. Jar Jar (and the Gungans altogether) were worse than Ewoks in the eyes of many, and let us not talk about Annakin "I hate sand" dialog and things like this. Yes, Palps was convincing, but the childish elements in the first film, the horrible "romance" in the second were not.
      Maybe it was not the kind of Star Wars many fans (with the EU as it was at this time in mind) had been looking for?
      At least that are reasons who come to my mind.

    • @TheCelestialvision
      @TheCelestialvision 3 года назад +56

      @@marcbartuschka6372 These are such nit picky things. The expanded lore alone brought so much life to the Star Wars universe. Star Wars Pod Racers was one of the best games for N64. Episode 1 also gave us Darth Maul and dual bladed lightsaber. Episode 2 and 3 brought us Clone troopers, great space ship designs and a satisfactory explanation of the Imperial takeover of the galaxy.
      Compare that to the Disney trilogy which had no memorable or good looking art design elements. Lore was completely broken (like gravity in space, stopping laser fire with the force and walking away without maintaining control over it, using light speed to destroy a super star destroyer). Whereas the prequel trilogy gave us amazing expanded lore leading to numerous offshoot series and stories in the Clone Wars era, the Disney trilogy broke canon and was jumbled nonsense.
      I know the comment was not a comparison of prequel to sequel trilogy but I still don’t understand how people can like Star Wars but hate the prequel trilogy with all the amazing expanded lore it brought. So do people who hate the prequels just wish all the star wars expanded lore and animated series etc. just continued to take place in the era of the original movies? Do they dislike the entire clone wars era? Or is it just a few lines of acting and one annoying character from the films that bothers them rather than the lore? I’m just confused by what their major gripe is.

      @@TheCelestialvision Well that is your opinion and it is of course your good right to think so. But i think for different opinions there are enough reasons. I for example like the new films not very much, but I think they are better on the level of actors and that the story is far from being so childish and hard to watch as Episode I and II. It is not good in my eyes (they should have used a modified version of the Thrawn trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn books in my opinion), but while I may look the new films again one day, I surely never will look into EP I-III ever again.
      You could also argue that both the Prequels and the Clone Wars-series wasted and sometimes broke a lot of potential. The version of history they presented put away a lot of beloved details and introduced a lot of BS (at least in the eyes of many people). The way the force was explained in EP I? The needless "no Jedi is allowed to marry" rule (which was against quite some of EU-material at the time), the fact that nearly none of the beloved history of KOTOR was used in Clone Wars etc. (even Korriban "had" to have a different name)... while the new films at least made a nod to that (although not much...)
      So I for my part could not understand why people hate the new films so agressiv but praise EP I-III. Yes VII-IX are bad in my eyes and a lot of wasted potential and possibilities - a position not all share, there are people who like them.
      But I do not think they did more damage or are worse than EP I-III. It comes as often down to very personal opinions, and I must say I was not nearly as much dissapointed about the new films as I was about EP I and II and in parts even EP III (Annakin the whiny Sith-to be...). Maybe because I had from the start not very high expectations while I had higher towards EP I-III.

      I like the prequels too but i can understand why some people don't like it jere are some of my thoughts why u can dislike the prequels
      1: the prequels should have been about Anakins path to the dark side but you litarilly see no reason why he should turn i mean there was the death of his mother and his Nightmares but my expectations are a little bit higher for the strongest jedi turn around his mind
      2. Order 66 and why are the jedi like ki adi mundi so or in the jedi temple so confused or unprepared about the clones killing them? There is a huge wtf Moment without watching clone wars i mean we don't know about the friendships between jedi and clones or why they should even trust each other
      3. The dialoges are terrible but george lucas knew this and git some help so
      4.again without clone wars are many Things confusing like the Battle dooku vs Anakin,in their first batlle Anakin got his Arm chopped off and boom now his chopping dookus head off
      5. Why is Anakin hating the council and trusting palps? We don't know in epsiode 3 how often the council is shitty to Anakin likr the one time with ahsoka
      These are just some of my thoughts feel free to correct me or to say Something you think

    There's another weakness you didn't mention: Groupthink. The Jedi had all been trained by the same person (Yoda), and were led by the same person (Yoda) and went to the same person for advice (Yoda) or, if they went to someone else, they went to someone who would give them the same advice as Yoda. Yoda had spent nearly a thousand years leading the Jedi, and without even realising it he had steadily whittled away diversity from the Order. Those with differing opinions or ideas, like Dooku or Qui-Gon, were sidelined and ignored, while those who voiced the right orthodoxy joined the Council. It was a perfect echo chamber, and it meant that the Sith didn't need plans to defeat ten thousand Jedi - they only needed to defeat _one._

    It should also be noted, most Jedi were not combatants prior to the war. Most only had basic saber training. Most were scholars, doctors, researchers, archeologists, etc. Knights made only a small portion of the order prior to the war. The war forced many Jedi from other disciplines to begin practicing with their blades or focus on more pressing research. Only a handful of of the some 10,000 jedi were actually knights, only a few hundred were knights prior to the war. They spent a millennium at peace, soldiers don't add anything during peace time. So they became scholars.

    One wonders what kind of a plan Palpy would have cooked up, had the Jedi actually left the generalling to the very competent clones, and become, perhaps, more of a special forces unit for the duration.
    I've sometimes pondered, clones were supposedly fiercely loyal to the Republic, to the death. Didn't The Republic being turned into an Empire rustle their jimmies, at all? Palpy gave a speech about The Republic being no more, no clones went, "Well the Chancellor just announced he'd ended the republic. What could I do? So I started blasting."

      Honestly, in EU, he probably would have planned that no new commando's were trained and would have requested the seperatist military to target said commanders for then have them be replaced by jedi out of need, still forcing to spread them out, or made sure that in those special forces jedi groups, there would be infighting and instability..
      As for the clones loyalty, Palpatine had achieved his emergency powers in a democratic way in the end. I think the order of killing Palpatine would have only happened if he would have behaved like a power hungry dictator. As far as the public and clones saw it, he did no such thing.

      It would massively decrease their combat effectiveness, the Jedi provide a diverse range of tactics (Good and Bad) that the enemy can’t predict, Competency is nice, but when you all come up with the same solution then your screwed”

    Just like Palpatine said to Yoda: "You're blinded by your arrogance."
    They became an order that grew very accustomed to being the only game in town (force-wise). One could even argue that their own teachings doomed them...a person can't know if someone is nefarious if they're not allowed to get close to them in any way, they can't be suspicious if they've been told that fear will make them evil, they will never look for their enemy if they've been taught their enemy has been dead for a thousand years, and they can't properly defend themselves if they believe that seeking greater power is the path to darkness.
    Let me pose this question, since the vid mentions that there was an order to kill the chancellor...do you think the clones would've gotten the drop on Palpatine, if the shoe were on the other foot?

    Every layer of Palpatine's plan was genious. The first Sith he allowed to be seen publicly after a millennium was Darth Maul. He is about as stereotypically evil looking as they come so the Jedi, while knowing about the threat, would have that look in mind. People like Dooku and Palpatine were given much less scrutiny by the Jedi since they just looked like friendly old men. The Sith were mythical at that point, not thought about as a realistic threat, exactly what they needed to slip in unnoticed and foment the insurrection needed to dislodge the stable Republic

As such even the jedi themselves would probably accept thd existence of order 66 if they had known about it. The problem was that that the order went out everywhere something the jedi should have taking in account.

    Supposedly the Jedi Sentinels vanished in the Order in centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. Jedi Sentinels are the one with yellow or gold lightsabers. Sentinels were expected to go out into the galaxy and make it a better place. Not meditate at the Temple like monks. This make the galaxy better philosophy wasn't necessarily about even using the Force. Teaching a small colony how to maintain a generator or keep their water supply clean, was considered just as important as laser sword fighting and lifting things with your mind. The unifying concept and its disappearance which lead to the post Ruusan era Order's fall. Is the Sentinels were always in the world and living with everyone else. They were never disconnected or separate from the rest of galaxy, this tended to prevent arrogance and narcissistic vanity. Sentinels tended to be so resistant to the Dark Side, its why only they could become Jedi Shadows. Jedi who specifically dealt with the Dark Side, Dark Side/Sith teachings, artifacts and adepts. Sentinels also tended to be the Jedi who survived the wars and schisms. Since they were never easy to find by their enemies and usually had the deepest understanding of galaxy around them and could see threats long before anyone else. Its why if there were Jedi Sentinels when Order 66 happened, they would have easily survived. The Sentinels would have seen the war as trap, like it was so many times in their history. But they would have refuse to be Jedi Generals, since their place was support and teach/guide, not lead. So they would would have been in the galaxy when Order 66 happened living and helping the people, not fighting them.

What is it now? Several hundred Jedi that actually survived Order 66? Even with Vader, the 501st would find it very hard to assault the Temple with far more masters like Windu, Yoda, Kenobi and the like being there.
      How long can Sidious keep the order on the down low, before the attack on Jedi becomes public? Wait too long, and then you'll have sympathizers that will conclude that Palpatine is trying to punish the Jedi who chose to remain neutral. Bear in mind, being neutral won't mean the Jedi will sit idle in the face of systems that are caught in the fight. They're still peacekeepers and will likely be present on protection duty (a few knights and a padawan or 2). And in the eye of those they protect, Palpatine will be seen as the aggressor. Sympathizers can fast become a rebellious element that will even precede the Empire.
