Funny how putting a brain in a jar was the last step for enlightenment, but turned imprisonment for their enemies

[@felonyx5123]

Really one of my favorite things about the B'omarr is that they're straight-up in the films. Legends could get weird when left to its own devices in parts of the setting where it wasn't being held back by the films and that's always fun, but when the films have already given you brains in jars in droids scurrying around the background of major scenes, weird is the only place you can go with that.

[@revolverocelot8106]

weirdest part for me is that they share their home with a crime boss. monks and gangsters living together how tf does that happen?

[@nahman3836]

​@@revolverocelot8106sometimes you're so open you open yourself to some bad peeps ig

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

It seems so weirdly counterintuitive to go though all that brain removal when if you have true mastery that step would be redundant.

[@FalconWindblader]

Having a body still means having access to senses that you can't turn off completely, no matter how 'enlightened' or 'detached' you get. The monks are still just 99% or so shut out from external stimuli with a body, & those esteemed ones wanted 100%. It's a case being the difference between being in a very quiet place measuring below 10 decibels, to a quiet room with decibels being in the negatives.

[@quagmoe7879]

This extends their lifespan by many centuries though

[@jeffagain7516]

TYVM for this Geetsly's ! As I've mentioned elsewhere (i.e. Eckharts Ladder) on this topic; It's curious how the B'Omarr Monks, with their "brain -in-a-jar" scenario, bears more then passing semblance to the species H.P. Lovecraft wrote about circa 1929! These were the " Mi-Go" (aka Fungi from Yuggoth [Pluto] ) that used storage devices, effectively cylinders some called "jars', to perform brain transfers on select prey (typically humans). They could then establish control conditions on these victims and implanting their brains in a new host body, use them for covert ops or control high positioned folks such as politicians and the like. They could also implant their own brains by this means in select bodies. Pretty creepy stuff. Note: though given the moniker of "Fungi" they actually looked more like human sized flies or hornets but with masterful intelligence. I do like the 'spider' idea, though it's more limiting. Nice to see Star Wars utilizing a subject from the distant past and though it could be coincidence, I doubt it. :)

“…and given very strong anesthesia.” Doesn’t sound like they reached enlightenment if they still respond to tactile stimuli.

[@robertagu5533]

Basically the SW version of Dune's "Cymeks an Cognitors" anyone who's familiar with the Dune "Butlerian Jihad" Trilogy knows what I'm talking about. It's LITERALLY the same things, sorta with slight variation differences an different names Just occured to me how much did lower mechbody droid monks wind up taking casualties just through accidents alone when you look like a video game boss/enemy with a similar obvious weak spot. An something TRULY enlightened... Wouldn't be corrupted just cuz they was near corruption. Least NOT without SERIOUS careful an clever working over an manipulation vast majority of criminals by comparison probably aren't clever enough, wise enough or patient or invested enough in any way to even attempt

[@UnswimmingFishYT]

I always wanted an explanation for those brain-spiders walking around the palace.

[@joashex69]

They sound like a cult with extra steps

[@davidsmith1310]

How did the monks keep their numbers up? If they progressed to jars or I assume some die then others must replace them. But if they reject the physical then it seems unlikely that they would reproduce and if they separated themselves from everyone else then it would be very rare for someone to join them. The only outcome that really makes sense is that they would disappear within a generation or perhaps two.

[@FalconWindblader]

You don't see hardcore ascetic Buddhist monks disappear from our world, do you? It's the same with them. Their numbers were large to begin with, & while they're isolated, they're not completely cut off from civilization. They still need to trade & get their supplies from somewhere since they ain't completely self-sufficient. Beings, whatever their origins, could still find & join them if they want to, & given the kind of worlds they settle in, recruitment ain't all that difficult, if they ain't getting hung up on numbers in the first place.

[@BatKraken742]

Are they force sensitive? If so, are they using the dark side of the force to keep themselves alive?
