So the council didn't bother to just tell Anakin "Hey, we don't actually want to do this, but we're on orders from the Supreme Chancellor so we're doing the bare minimum on compliance. It really is just a stunt to appease him, sorry." Once again those in authority sabotage themselves by refusing to explain or justify their actions, because they believe their position precludes them from having to do so. Presumptuous arrogance.

It gets even more genius when you think about what would have happened in Anakin TRIED looking Darth Plagueis up, mastery or not. Anakin would never be able to properly verify the Tale of Darth Plagueis, and any attempt to do so would only end up fueling his suspicions and frustrations with the Jedi Order, as well as play into Palpatine's scheme. So, Anakin goes around the Jedi Archives asking for Darth Plagueis. No Jedi has ever heard of the guy, there are no records of him anywhere. Would that necessarily signal something wrong to Anakin or the Jedi? No, because think about it: The Sith have fought against the Jedi for millennia, especially during the Old and New Sith Wars (7000 years in total). There have been *_countless_* Sith Lords across history, and the Republic went through a Dark Age where a lot of records and knowledge was lost. Plagueis could have been a part of Vitiate's True Sith Empire or Darth Ruin's New Sith Dynasties, all of which included thousands upon thousands of Sith Lords and many of whom sought immortality and claimed to have done so. The Jedi also did their best to bury anything too Dark Side in the secret archives accessible only to the masters. Most Jedi would be sincerely confused and/or unable to help, more self-righteous Jedi like Jocasta Nu would dismiss it as a fairy tale and the Jedi Council would stonewall any such inquiry and demand to know where Anakin heard of such Sith. And no reaction or excuse given any Jedi would pacify Anakin. He would assume that the Jedi are concealing knowledge from others that could save lives (especially Padmé's) over their fears, that they probably destroyed said knowledge in their zealot crusading against the Dark Side and/or are outright lying to him. Palpatine would've sent him on a wild goose chase that just made him angrier at the Jedi. Palpatine was completely in the safe as well. Anakin would never tell on him knowing so much about the Sith. And even if he did, this would only spur the Jedi into doing EXACTLY what Sidious wanted them to do: stalking or assaulting him for no concrete reason, giving him the excuse he needs to execute Order 66 with the Senate's approval. In fact, Anakin openly seeking such knowledge and getting rebuked could cause a Fifth Schism within the Jedi Order, which already pretty divided because of the Clone Wars. Anakin wasn't the only traumatized, war-worn Jedi, and many of them would be interested in a Force Power that prevents death that they could use on their troopers and allies. A new Jedi Civil War could also be a perfect excuse for executing Order 66, only one where a huge percentage of Jedi would be on Palpatine's side! No wonder he's the Dark GOAT of the Sith.

There is also a factor of Anakin's past here. When Yoda said he would not have a voice, nor vote on the Council...it was like Anakin was being shackled again. He had escaped slavery thanks to the Jedi, but now, in his mind-hence the personal insult, the Jedi were putting him in chains again due to their beef with the Chancellor no matter how founded it was. I have a feeling Obi-wan was the only one who realized this, hence why he tried to calm Anakin down, but the more conservative members of the Council, namely Windu who has a bias AGAINST Anakin, didn't see it that way.

Given their distrust of Anakin and the Chancellor, it would have been shrewder to grant him the title of master, then see what he would do, and get more insight into Palpatine's agenda that way. Or, following what they did, it would have been less humiliating to have Obi Wan tell Anakin privately, rather than shame him in front of everyone like that. Regardless of their thoughts about his arrogance, mostly true, he had already proven himself a hero countless times, and saved the lives of many of the people in that room. His boasts were not empty. He HAD pulled off the impossible...many, MANY times, always putting himself at risk to do so. He deserved some courtesy at least, even if they ultimately decided to refuse the title due to his youth and their mistrust of Palpatine.

Anakin had not mastered himself, and as a result did not have what it takes to be a master.

If Council yields and makes Anakin a full master, he will get a spy in the Jedi Council at the crucial phase of his plan and would drive a vedge between Anakin and the fellow Jedi masters (who will, understandably, see him as Palpatine's stooge). If the Council refuse to make Anakin full master, Anakin will be driven off even further from the Jedi Order and closer to Sidious (as it happened). If the Council would refuse Chancellor's order, that could later strengthen anti-Jedi rhetoric and accusations of treason. Palpatin have created a scenario, where each Jedi move would strengthen him!

An even IF one way or other he became Master, studied the exact area that mightve helped him... AND NOTHING turns up.. what then??? Hes near genius in battlefield strategy but often lacking in similar fashion. When he was TRULY ready an they legit offered he wouldn't even have hardly cared. Or seen it coming. Perhaps even felt like it wasn't earned right... now in Luke's Order his reasons woulda been more understandable an at least he'd gotten more help.

One thing I like about the clone wars is that actually shown that the council views might be preventing them from actually helping people I mean they’re supposed to be about compassion, but how can you be compassionate about people if you’re not allowed to attach yourself to them plus the council was just using him to spy on the chancellor plus considering that masters is what a night makes Padawan a night, considering that they kicked his Padawan out on the flimsiest evidence. Yeah, there are multiple points where Anakin views are justified.

Anakin throwing a fit in the High Council Chamber is confirmation in itself that the rank of Master is far from his grasp. His power, force abilities and control, combat prowess etc is just a few slices of the whole Master cake and he’s lacking in emotional intelligence, restraint, wisdom, spiritual depth, understanding on levels foreign to his narrow young, brash world view and somewhere deep below, Anakin knows this but his vulnerabilities and emotional attachments overwhelm his patience and judgement, that of below the Master rank. He was a living, breathing Jedi Master, in all but official name and designated rank. As Obi Wan and Yoda said many times.. much to learn, young one.
@ZoeMalDoran10 ай бұрын
Obi-Wan flat out tells him that in the novelisation after the meeting. "Your outburst in the Council Chamber was an eloquent argument against granting you Mastery. How can you be a Jedi Master if you have not mastered yourself?" Anakin entirely misses the point though, due to sleep deprivation and Palpatine's manipulations, instead asking Obi-Wan "What do I have to do? They want me to do something for them before they'll give me the rank I deserve, don't they? Please, just tell me what they want"

I get the Jedi were playing right into Palpie’s hands but I have a hard time blaming them for this. Anakin was far too hotheaded to be a Master, much less get a tiebreaking vote on the Council. Knowing what we do it's easy to see how Palpie arranged this, like everything, but making Anakin a master on the Council would have set such an awful precedent and done a lot of harm.

I just disagree. The council should have explained WHY he was not being given the rank of Master by explaining his being appointed to the council is a massive overstep of the Chancellor, that he is very young and would normally not be considered (Ob-Wan was quite young to join the council and he was a Padawan for longer than Anakin was in the order), that he is being used as a pawn by his friend. But the order should not remake everything about who they are and what they do just for 1 person. Oh I doubt it would have helped even one jot had they explained everything completely, but at least they should have tried.

While the argument can be made that Anakin wasn't ready to be a master, I think this was yet another mistake in a list the Jedi had done when it came to Anakin. They didn't want him part of the order, in fact they were willing to ship him back to Tatooine to be enslaved again. The other younglings and padawans treated him like crap and the instructors did nothing to help. He was held back from being a knight a short time after the events of Geonisis. His padawan was blamed for a crime and thrown out of the order, oh and nearly executed had it not been for him and the vast majority of said council members gave a half-hearted apology at best. And he was the one to prove her innocence, standing up to be the example of a jedi as protector for justice. And then gave him an empty position where he was not allowed to voice his own opinion and couldn't even vote on matters of the Jedi Order as whole. Yeah no, the hissy fit he threw while childish I think was more than warranted by this point. Truth be told he should have used the force to crush that chair or throw it out the window and tell the council that if they were going to make him sit there as an empty chair, he wasn't going to put up with it and that they are better off without it if that's how they were going to treat him. That point they can kick him out of the order, which honestly probably be the best thing for him. Leave the order and go to Padme's and take some time off back on Naboo, still screw up Palpatine's plans to a degree as his favored apprentice is gone and is happy. And the jedi were already by that point planning on going after Palpatine, so chances are Anakin wouldn't be around to save him from Mace.
@jmwilliamsart9 ай бұрын
I wholeheartedly agree with you, the Jedi order had fallen so far from what it once was. They alienated Anakin at nearly every turn, and after everything he had done for them and the Republic they never gave him any respect. Plus they threw Ahsoka to the wolves just to save face (it was all a public relations thing), shame on them. And considering how sleep deprived Anakin was (nightmares about Padme), and all of the blatant disrespect the council had shown him, yeah I would’ve reacted in a similar way if I was him. If I was him I would be like “You know what, you can keep that chair over there because I don’t need it! I’ve had enough, good luck winning the war without me!!” and then I would exit the council chambers and leave the Order and become Padme’s bodyguard. That way I could watch over her and protect her from harm.
@danielbeck27399 ай бұрын
@@jmwilliamsart While the idea of him sticking around and being Padme's bodyguard around the Senate seems like a reasonable, there are few more factors to consider. Palpatine is still within close proximity to Anakin and by extension Padme and the babies. While Anakin may not see it as a bad thing, he would by this point know the Jedi is out for Palpatine and they discover his children are force sensitive, they might take them away from Anakin and Padme purely out of spite. Padme also isn't overly fond of Palpatine by this point either and technically Jar Jar is around. She can probably put in for maternity leave to go home and have the kids and take a few weeks to recover and spend time with them and the family before going back. Leaving Jar Jar to act in her place as he did before, but this time leave notes or call her up should he need her input on something. Pretty sure she would make that point abundantly clear given he was the one who gave powers to Palpatine. Only be fair he be the one to push to remove them. Anakin could either stay with the kids on Naboo in case the Jedi and/or Palpatine pull something while Padme is back in the Senate pushing for Palpatine's removal of power. And chances are she might prefer he be around the kids as whose really going to harm a hair on those kids' heads with Chosen One around. Even Palpatine would be smart enough to give it time and let the guard slowly drop before trying.
