The COMPLETE LIFE of The Grand Inquisitor (Part 1)

[@trekstarsam2494]

I would love to see you do a video detailing the non-Jedi training that Jedi padawans received. For example, in addition to Jedi training, what other education did they have? I'm sure they had to learn at least basic math, and what about the native languages and cultures from their various species? Since they were taken so young, and since the Jedi was an intergalactic group with all sorts of different species, I'm sure republic basic was spoken throughout the order, yet, Jedi travelled throughout the galaxy as peace keepers, so I was wondering how many languages they learned. A lot of species could understand but not speak Republic basic. Was it simply through protocol droids translating?

Honestly tho-how can Barris and even other Jedi believe they lost their ways? I mean if you didn’t know it was Palpatine as Darth Sidious, it would look legitimate to defend yourselves against a growing threat, led by a cyborg and corrupt dark Jedi.

[@diplocolus1439]

Jedi should have attempted to keep peace between the two sides and not participate in the fight.

[@wyatt5167]

​@Diplocolus I mean historically that's never been the case with the Jedi. As soon as a sith is involved, it's war. Perhaps they could have tried to negotiate a peace somehow. But again, knowing that the CIS was controlled by a sith, and knowing what the sith ultimate goal always is, kinda makes negotiation impossible. Even more so when said sith controls both sides. The worst thing the Jedi did was tie themselves as an organization to the republic. Over centuries their ideologies got so mixed with the republic that by the time of sidious, they couldn't really differentiate between the two. They weren't "Jedi" they were "Jedi Defenders of the Republic" Kinda like Christians and the Ultra conservative right. They've identified as conservative for so long that it seems they don't know the difference between the two. There's plenty of conservative views that don't fall in line with what the Bible teaches. But some Christians have identified as a conservative for so long that it seems they genuinely don't know the difference between a conservative view and a Christian view. It can happen with any group tbh, but I'm American so that's the one that comes to mind lol

I'm not a fan of Disney's Star Wars, but the Grand Inquisitior was one of the few characters that I found entertaining. He reminded me of a gentleman villain or similar to Count Dooku, Dooku was the gentleman sith in the franchise even when doing some messed up stuff. The GI just felt like a less refined version of him but also had that sense of righteousness to him. What can I say, I'm a sucker for villains who think their doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, be it selfish or selfless acts. P.s. I'm not talking about the GI from the kenobi series, that.......that's an entirely different person as far as I'm concerned

We know when the grand inquisitor was born but not his real name

[@barbaralanders6049]

Confusing... Vader first kills younglings, then protects the identity of others from his master.

[@hughjanos3992]

because palps lied when he said the dark side would save his wife, so when he killed her (due to the dark side corrupting his thoughts) he realized palps lied, he turned evil to save his wife, but her death wouldnt have happened if he didnt give in to the dark side. anakin realizes that palps was never an ally, but a manipulator. so he killed those kids for nothing, and his wife never would have died if he hadnt listened to palps, and to top the betrayal off, he was the one who murdered her. without his wife, kids, or obiwan, the only "friend" he has left is palpatine, and hes the reason the whole mess started. so when he saves the younglings from palpatine, its less because thats the right thing to do, more out of spite for the guy who fucked his life up and who owns him as a boss.
