Live alongside corruption for too long, and you never notice the stench. The jedi cannot help the slaves of tatooine, but they can help the slavemasters." -Count dooku

Tbh I dont think the jedi made any mistakes they were tested by the force and they passed by staying true to the jedi code and the force ( Obi Wan spared Anakin on Mustafar which leads to him killing Palpatine later on and Yoda doesn't try to kil Palpatine in their duel but only to disarm him and force him to submit, he didnt give in to his desire to kill him and followed the jedi code even if he knew what would happen if he didn't kill Palpatine and thus was given the oportunity later on to train Luke and revice the Jedi Order, the sith were a test and the jedi passed with flying collors.)

Hey jedi prince i see you in every comments section man hows ut going. I saw you in star force one and some other vids from different star wars lore youtubers

[@fintandeconnachta5525]

@@2Based23 the jedi made plenty of mistakes. There is a difference between mercy and blind adherence to a dogmatic principle of the concept of mercy. This is seen by the jedi who dont hang around the temple and basically get brainwashed with dogma of what is essentially a religion actually being useful. The Jedi made the massive mistake that we have made throughout history: they turned a nice idea in to a religion and if you dont follow it (the code) then you are a sith. An irony since suposedly only sith deal in absolutes. Yoda was an old decrepit creature who allowed the sith to continue operating and deserved to watch his order destroyed. It was poetic justice that Anakin is the harbinger of Jedi destruction, since they were so worried about Anakin going dark side they tried to prevent it and basically caused him to go dark. The more I look in to the jedi vs sith mindsets the more I come to learn that only one of them has ever been right. Traya. The Force makes slaves of both sides, and is a danger. When the Sith are in power, at least they are predictable. The jedi created a large era of peace, this bred complacency and blindness. At the head of this was Yoda, and Mundi, both of whom recieved exactly what they deserved for blindly adhering to dogma. Not to cross fandoms here but theres a group of folks wearing white who make a good point in this case: where others blindly follow the truth, know that nothing is true. The jedi philosophy is too restrictive to allow what must be done. When others are bound by morality and law, remember everything is permitted. In summary: Sith evil, Jedi no better. Granted, this is all my observation as a very very very casual fan. I'm not that versed in starwars lore, mostly because it seems no one can agree what that lore is, so I hang in other fandoms that can actually agree what is lore. But, at any rate...I have to disagree, if they did nothing wrong because of the code, then the jedi deserved to be destroyed because they were, at their core, useless.

[@custink22]

I think all of the jedi council were blind to what was happening. Thats why its such a tragedy that Qui Gon Jin died, he would have seen it from a mile away and warned them. And kept Anakin away from Palpy and taught him in a fatherly way that he needed instead of the brotherly way Obi Wan did. I think ultimately Qui Gon wouldnt have been able to change much unless the jedi themselves changed, but he could have at least given warning and prevented Anakins fall. He likely would have gone to rescue Shmi when Anakin began having visions of her in pain, since it was clearly the force telling him something important and not something to be ignored as Obi Wan tried to do. Unfortunately, for plot reasons, Qui Gon had to die, but of all the jedi i truly think he was the most in tune with the force. Even Dooku believed Qui Gon would have seen what was happening, and perhaps could have been prevented from turning to the dark side had Qui Gon lived. But as for Yoda... Yoda was wise and powerful, but very dogmatic and set in his ways, and didnt really change even after the fall.

[@darylcorey4562]

Honestly like half of that I think were not mistakes but on purpose. I think in large part Yoda may have realized the magnitude of his errors in the way he had taught and led the Jedi that perhaps letting it all burn down and rebuild new was the only option to correct it and he just really miscalculated on his own ability to kill Palpatine to clean up the whole mess at the end so he would have fresh ground to work on.

[@andrewmeyer3599]

@Darth Revan This may be true, but it should be remembered that the very first time they met Anakin they all *mocked* him for his completely normal emotions of being scared at that moment when surrounded by strangers. The Jedi knew he was an older student and as such would have a harder time subduing his emotions but still would ignore him when asking for help dealing with said emotions just like in episode 3 when Yoda just tells Anakin to deal with it when he mentions his nightmares of people close to him dying

[@GearShotgun]

They messed up long before that even. Their entire approach to Anakin was wrong. They treated him poorly and with suspicion, leading to a self fulfilling prophecy. Mace was openly against his training, refused to teach him and continued to disapprove even more than a decade into his training and despite his accomplishments

[@ML-sc3pt]

@Darth Revan except he only acted that way due to the hypocrisy of the jedi. His snapping point was them making him violate the jedi code to spy, mace violating it to kill Palpatine.

So the best way to reform the Jedi Order in this case is to destroy the old one and rebuild everything from the ground up. But of course, that didn't happen because Luke's Jedi Order in the sequel trilogy clearly is not what the reform that the Jedi needed at all. Far from it, to be exact.

[@thewarner2139]

Yoda values life and he absolutely would not sacrifice his friends, just so the Force could reset the Order. He was visibly traumatized during Order 66 and his vision during TCW.

Before the Siege of Mandalore Arc, Anakin walks out in front of the droid army with this straight up unhinged look on his face.

I always figured Yoda tried to prevent the inevitable and would worry about the Jedi’s issue afterwards. Thus he could not see the doom coming even though it was in his face.

Here's some of Yoda's faults: - Reforming the Jedi code. Allow emotions, teach people, acknowledge people have their own passions and desires, acknowledge that chaos exists and try to fix it. - Allowing attachments. If Anakin was allowed to have a family, there would have been the greatest doctors in the republic waiting to deliver his children. - Teach people to handle the Dark Side, not deny it. - Training soldiers as children and a general policy towards being pro-child soldier. - Having children raised in a cult-like environment.

A huge problem was allowing the Jedi leadership partake in the actual fighting. There's no reason any of the Jedi Masters should have been anywhere near the battlefield. There's a reason real generals do not fight on the front lines. They're too important as leaders and strategists to be killed in battle.

[@ravanpee1325]

Since when are the Jedis good strategists at all...they have no clue about big military operation or logistics

[@Ben-Ken]

I think Yoda was right not to face Palpatine with Kenobi. Look how quickly Palpatine killed 3 masters. Dooku himself constantly toyed with Kenobi. Yoda would have been compromised due to worrying about fighting Palps as well as keeping Kenobi out of harms way.

[@N8TheGreatG]

Revan who was a jedi master and a sith lord said the darkside was definitely the more powerful side of the force! Because the light side limits your growth and potential where the darkside of the force the only thing that holds you back from becoming more powerful is yourself! Just some food for thought!

[@OnlyAFoolsHope]

His tenth mistake: Not paying Grogu's child support

[@grimtopia4804]

I also believe that Yoda knew of the darkness aswell because of this I also think he was the smartest and knew what needed to be done and knew that the Jedi had completely fallen from grace including himself

[@grimtopia4804]

Honestly I believe that he could have been unintentionally aiding Sidious on purpose after he knew there was no return

[@JediAcolyte94]

Please cover the Disaster at DeepSpace besh Allen. It was a very important event in the galactic civil war.

[@DecentralizedGaming000]

what is it?

[@maximillianx1395]

Yoda was the right person in the wrong place, or more specifically, in the wrong time.

[@Ikcatcher]

So basically the Jedi Order should’ve had a PR department

[@TheCookster64]

Excellent analysis. You have a new follower.

[@jcraft2805]

1:26 If Yoda can tie in a fight against the Emperor,he d absolutely obliterate vader.

[@kratal122]

An argument could be made that he didn’t act on his visions of Order 66 because he had started to believe in the prophecy and understood that the fall of the Jedi was the will of the Force.

[@JAR792]

An adverse effect on his judgement skills, his Ketamine consumption had.

[@videocrowsnest5251]

The Jedi Order and Yoda really ought to have been able to connect the dots and understood the full picture of in how deadly of a trap they are already in, and then started to use their collective ability to start figuring out a way out of it. It's frankly a miracle Palpatine's plot unfolded as perfectly as it did with all of these clues and red flags offered up on a bloody silver platter. Not to mention Count Dooku warning Obi-wan from the get go. The only logic I can think of is that perhaps the Jedi are not great detectives on their own if they can't tap into the foresight of the Force cause of the Dark Side clouding things.

[@jackmorrison8269]

Yoda fucked everything up, he was in charge and couldn't see clearly

[@rogertexter1910]

Had yoda been more proactive he could have stopped the jedi purge.

[@hownoble6404]

I think we can all agree the real reason the Jedi order went extinct was because it was already set in stone from the first 3 movies. Since it's not 1, 2, 3 ,4 5, 6 but instead 4, 5, 6 1, 2, 3 there will never be any justification for their extinction except that it was already set in stone from the first 3 movies. Sad, I'd rather it be more natural and not forced as much. I'd also like Mace Windu to be alive and show up in the 9th movie. At the end Mace Windu is one of the pilots to enter the fray, he then lands the fighter. As Palpatine is holding both Ren and whatever the other person's name is on the floor with his power, from the shadows suddenly immerges a mysterious figure in a hooded garb. As he walks dramatically into the room, robotic arm in place of his normal hands and then pulls out his lightsaber. Still hidden from the camera, with only his lightsaber visible in a close up shot, then zooms out and you hear the sound of it turning on and see a purple glow in the fog but no lightsaber blade in view just the light of it reflecting on the fog. Then the blade comes slowly into the view of the camera from the top down. Palpatine, then immediately stricken with fear, exclaims "IMPOSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE!" and Mace Windu replies "EZEKIEL 25:17!" but alas, it's not meant to be.

[@Straswa]

Great work GenTech.

[@LysimedVenteel]

Obi-Wan and Plo Koon definitely voted for Ahsoka’s innocence. As for Yoda, I’m not so sure.

[@CroperPunt96]

Palpatine even told him you’re arrogance blinds you

[@eds1942]

Anakin... Yoda of the prequel era was probably one of the worst counselors in the Order.

[@prestoncoie4134]

Yoda and the Jedi Order combined were a massive failure.

[@DragonxFlutter]

Honestly? I think Obi-Wan would have gotten in the way. Mace took four Jedi to arrest Palpatine, and all three ended up dead in moments. Who’s to say that Obi-Wan wouldn’t end the same way? So it’s likely that Yoda split the party so he wouldn’t have to be distracted by keeping Obi-Wan safe.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Not talk on his native accent in the Phantom Menace. "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

[@Ben-Ken]

The problem is that Yoda saw the negative impacts of acting on force visions so he grew to distrust all such visions instead of taking them into account.

[@kylegesin7178]

I have to disagree with two points. The last one I fully disagree with. I think obi wan would have just got in yoda's way, and yoda knew this. The power gap is enormous. And if yoda has to worry about obi wan, and what Palpatine might do, like take him hostage essentially, it would hurt his chances. And the other point is about his visions. I agree it should have been enough to get him curious. But, seeing a dark version of him self, then a sith Lord that seems like Palpatine, and then the clones attacking the jedi. All that can very easily just be seen as his own fears of what MIGHT be, not things that actually are. And especially seeing his fear of the clones manifested like that, easily could have convinced him it was just a fear, and nothing real. Not sure if I'm expressing what I mean really, but I think you get it.

[@theboneisin]

the entire council was like "this child is going to become space hitler we cant train him" to qui gon when he wanted anakin to be trained. and then because qui gon"s dying wish was to train anakin, yoda allows anakin to be trained and later he became space hitler.

[@hyperchord]

I think Lucas was intentionally trying to show the failings of the Jedi order. Or do we already assume that? The best thing anyone could have done was to befriend Anakin, and ask him how he feels about his mother dying, and really talk it out. But not with the expressed purpose of preventing his turn. Anakin would see right through that. Making him feel rejected by the council was just stupid. In an ideal world, a Jedi wouldn't take it personal, but again, the Jedi order fucked up.

[@TheRevanchrist]

I have personal doubts that if yoda and Obi-wan teamed up against Sidious it would succeed. To me, for a team up to work, the members have to be of similar strength and skill, if there is too much of a gap, the weaker of the two could be a liability if the strongest member is not willing to use their partner as a distracter or a sacrifice.

[@thewarner2139]

TCW already showed that if Yoda teamed up with anyone not named Mace, it would have been a liability to fight Palpatine; because the Sith always exploit the Jedi's compassion for their allies and the innocent. Obi-Wan was too weak to be of any use against Palpatine. Yoda knew he had to go alone so he wouldn't have any distractions. And by dividing their forces, they could potentially take out both Sith Lords at the same time.

[@patrickracer43]

Basically, the Force itself was telling Yoda that something was going wrong and the Jedi Order was in danger and he legitimately ignored it

[@ChrisMovieUniverse]

If Anakin was Treated with Compassion and Affection after knowing what he's Been through as a Child as he Got older he may not have Been so easily Manipulated by Palpatine one of the Jedi's biggest Flaws is The fucked up way they Steal Children and Detur them from basically having a Life of their own Attachment isnt a Path to the Dark Side it's simply love and Affection

[@ontasbulent5709]

The Jedi were to far from the people. They could not see what the republic had become how the galaxy had changed. During the last year the republic had already fallen it was the empire and the Jedi were forced on a corner the galaxy was ready to move on without them.

[@vortexgaming5651]

This does not concern me, I was born way after this stuff. Good job grand papa From Rey Not-Skywalker

[@officialbusy]

Yoda was simply tricked by the shroud of the darkside
