The Jedi Watchmen Explained - WHO they were and WHAT they did

[@brikmaniac81]

These are the kinds of videos I’d like to see more of. This is what spurred me to subscribe. Great video!

[@Lilac-and-Gooseberries]

Loving your lore videos Theory!

[@yourfeedYT]

Theory’s bald head should officially be apart of Star Wars cannon. Love you bro

[@ravenclaw9122]

Bauldarion

[@SolidNeodark]

Not many guys manage to look cool with a bald head. Theory should flaunt it.

[@НеАнтон-ы2э]

It already is. It's in the high republic

[@joshuaanderson5934]

it's could be the Star Wars canonball

[@buddyjaydubb]

He’s from Balderaan

[@The_Gray]

Another lore video!?!? Hell yeah man!

[@axshampouw3183]

I actually really like this concept, cuz it helps kind of, bridge that gap where the Jedi were branded as traitors after the rise of the empire and the galaxy didn’t just immediately change their mind because I used to think the same where they are usually off world, on and off, like, when do they have time to connect to the people, and so there’s the answer, the Jedi watchmen. I’d love to see something related to this during the clone wars era.

[@jakejameslugo]

When that original intro hits 👌💯. Stuff like this from Legends is always interesting to listen to. And I love that Jedi Path book in my collection. They have a lot of stuff that is intriguing, all the books from the series have stuff from Star Wars games too, which is neat.

[@geviesanta3631]

It's been a while since we had a lore video on here

[@Aikurisu]

Too bad they ruined one of my fav watchers, Master Tholme. That guy had quite the life in the EU. Trained both Quinlan Vos AND Aayla Secura. Fought Count Dooku and narrowly survived their duel by cutting off his connection with the Force to play dead. Survived Order 66 before it was cool and managed to have a hot tree waifu, who would go on to become one of the founding members of the new Jedi Order during the Legacy Era. But no, Disney ditched all that in favour of killing him off screen with a throw away line. Seriously, duck Disney, Filoni, everyone there.

[@AndrewAce.]

Crazy

[@jeremievivianagriffin9458]

Disney destroyed the true storyline.

[@elliotkingaby5312]

Plo is a obvious choice. Ezra's background would have helped him be a good watcher i think. And Mara having spent so much time as Palps Hand wound have given her a unique perspective. And then Leia as well.

[@yoboijosiah]

bro i rlly think kit fisto would have made a great watchman or plo koon both were super chill i wish they had a bigger part in the revenge of the sith

[@slicerneons3300]

If the Clone Wars had not happened, then Anakin would have made a great Watchmen. That Would have made keeping his marriage a secret far easier. Plus, he would have been away from Sidious' reach. It's likely why it never happened.

[@grizz8969]

The intro! Glad to have it back Also more lore vids. Loving it

[@tylergoswick4536]

Disney needs to pay attention and make this into. A series is all about the watchmen. Jedidi would be so fun if done right

[@Robert_H_Diver]

lol keep dreaming bro….

[@SilasSmith-u2z]

Let’s go Theory so glad your back to your lore videos and I think the watch men are very interesting and Saturday is just a good day overall with both you and Stupendous dropping lore videos I’m for sure a happy camper

[@Blackout-Official-edits]

The old intro is back! Yes!

[@CosmicTron]

I agree at the time Obi-Wan became Anakin's Master he was still inexperienced, and wasn't really ready for that role. As for a watchmen I believe that Dooku would have been great in that role if things turned out differently.

[@clonedavenger]

Rorschach's journal... October 12th, 1985... oh wait, wrong Watchmen.

[@pot_of_greed2414]

Finally the former intro have return after watching some older vids days ago

[@Esmeralda-2003]

I love your videos that explain the lore of Star Wars! May the Force be with you!

[@jedimasterboltsproductions6433]

Man, I've missed these lore videos!

[@ChristopherHorricks]

I love that book. A great read. I also have the one for the Sith.

[@t_hetty1758]

This is what I wish the jedi were more like in ep 1 and spread around the galaxy just for ep 2 to be wrangled up as soldiers with their base to become coruscant.

[@Carrity]

Dayum that intro. Its been awhile

[@Aquestion125]

Man, i miss your lore vidoes i feel like a kid agian watching all your old lore again. Keep up the good vids man and you should do a what if about "What if Anakin was a watchman".

[@rello2x]

Nicee I love these typa lore videos

[@THATlaptopDJ]

I’m genuinely shocked I’ve never heard of these guys before! Had Star Wars been in better hands, this concept could’ve been an insanely cool idea for a show… 😢

[@jacklovell3181]

Good to hear you getting back to Lore videos again theory, can't wait for more .

[@williamleger1848]

Love the content video and theory videos man it’s what keeps us coming back we don’t care about politics and Disney haha. I think Mara Jade would have been a great watchwoman with her decisiveness and level headedness. I understand you like to keep the community up to date on what’s going on behind the scenes but the content and theory videos are we live for man it makes Starwars so fun!

[@ArturUznanski]

Looooooor is BACK ❤❤❤❤

[@trippypapi8616]

love story telling videos like this to play poe2 in the background ! especially when its jedi lure

[@LungMing23]

I love this stuff Theory! Thanks for still doing lore vids even though the views are down. We all miss loving Star Wars and this helps feed that love.

[@MCsCreations]

A better watchman Yoda would be.

[@Mogiewankenobi]

I’ve always loved the look and mystique of temple guards I think a deeper dive would be cool. Your videos kick ass, keep up the amazing job.

[@DeathScepter]

well borrowing a The Old Republic term, Darth Vader is the Sith Juggernaut. They can be consider a reflection of the Jedi Watchman

[@brianmarin6354]

First! Love you theory happy holidays!

[@scottperrett1768]

One of the best videos yet IMO. Love what you do.

[@JoshuaMiranda-v2n]

Loving the return to lore videos man!! Best Star Wars content on KZbin 🥳

[@Twinsuns2187]

Outstanding video Theory, what a ride you took us on for all these years. Appreciate ya Theory.

[@mr.awesomeausten3456]

Now THESE are my favorite kind of videos. Thank you!

[@elexigente7355]

I always thought this aspect of the Jedi Order should exist but I never knew that it actually did or that a book described it! This makes perfect sense for an order that in the galactic sense, was small but with Watchmen who oversaw a particular planet, system or perhaps even a small sector of space, could maintain peace, settle disputes or enforce local law - not unlike a sheriff or marshal of earth's old west. Thinking on certain Jedi that would fit, first one that came to mind was Quinlan Vos - his outgoing, friendly nature would be perfect for a Watchman role!

[@everythingissogreen6748]

Obi Wan did tye best he could. It was nice t his fault. I blame Palpatine, he manipulated an emotionally scarred and hurt child into being his puppet. Anakin wasn't entirely to blame for what happened, its easy to judge him but to him, slhis back was against the wall and his wife and child were in danger.

[@ejimenez5602]

Awesome video!

[@BloomageOne]

Really love the concept of the Jedi Watchman, and the broader class of the Jedi Sentinel. I feel like I have to defend Mace Windu here, particularly given that you said Dooku would make a good Watchman (which I disagree with). I think too many people view Mace through the lens of The Clone Wars, which portrays him very differently to Star Wars Legends. In Legends, he is a wise leader, a skilled negotiator, and has deep empathy for those around him. His Master T'ra Saa described his greatest strength and weakness as his '[belief] that, given a true choice, people will choose the light.' Some Legends material that portrays Mace well are the Star Wars Jedi: Mace Windu comic (and the Republic comics in general) and of course Shatterpoint. Would be great to see a video from you someday maybe diving into Mace and how he is characterised in Legends vs TCW

[@Talos_The_King]

Saying Dooku would make a better watchmen than Windu is crazy.

[@yoboijosiah]

before he turned to the darkside yes he wouldve made a great one... after tho, thats debatable

[@Talos_The_King]

@yoboijosiah Dooku had a deep rooted hatred towards classism prior to turning to the dark side. Even though that's righteous on the surface, he wouldn't be indifferent during situations where class played a factor because of that bias. Windu believed in strictly upholding the law.

[@StarWarsTheory]

I think he does. Before he turned dark.

[@smokingpanda3109]

Answering your question, honestly you said it best with Qui Gonn and dooku

[@SHARKVADERS]

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

[@stoicsingh472]

The background music is so good

[@KorriTimigan]

I think you're right that Anakin has the right mindset for mediation and negotiation, I think he lacks it in the restlessness side. Even with Qui-Gon's tutelage I think Anakin would always have needed to jetset around the Galaxy. Staying in one place while there was a whole Galaxy's worth of problems to help with would have driven him up the wall.

[@Snowboardjedi892]

Cool lore, thank you!

[@STATUS_AW0L]

So Jedi like Rael Aveross would be considered a Jedi Watchman.

[@jessicawadey1091]

Ooo yay thank you ☺️ 👍great video

[@TyFromTennessee]

This is so cool and a great story. I"m for sure buying that book. Well done Theory!

[@RobertoJuanSurMontana]

Topical reviews within SW! Loving it SWT!! Bring on the real SW!

[@mjohns908]

I mean, I feel like Quinlan Vos is the epitome. He literally was going deep cover on his missions. He was like a Jedi CIA agent.

[@Philtmnt]

I absolutely love the Jedi Path book. Also the books based on the Rebellion, Bounty Hunters Guild, Sith & Empire. I have yet to grab a copy of the Smuggler book

[@ÆTONN]

Ofc i love theory is bald its badass

[@jacksonyon5276]

I think obi wan would’ve been a good watchman but not as good as qui-gon

[@joeconnolly8953]

more lore please!

[@lijaniahsmith9158]

Oh theorys back back with the uploads yes sir

[@ehstudios]

It would be cool to see a movie/show that follows one specific Jedi Watchmen and their story on a planet or system. A story that is isolated from the rest of the galaxy and Jedi Order...

[@starclone4]

Wonderful video Master Theory !!!! 😊

[@Cross_Corp64]

I wonder if there’s Sith Watchmen as well. Overall, great video and nice to see Theory go with a “Return of the Lore” approach

[@59rlmccormack]

Its good to have a watchman looking out for people’s well-being.

[@alejandroangel998]

Every time you mention “Watchmen” it comes to my mind the Snyder movie

[@AivL]

Sounds like a movie about A watchman would be amazing 🤩

[@Hebrew_hammer52]

Sick intro. Also so happy to be back to the LORE!!!! LFG

[@InsightUnseen626]

Feeling the lore stuff! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@xXslaughtsXx]

I think Rael Averross from the book Star Wars Master & Apprentice would be another good example.

[@AivL]

Lore vids are the best!

[@MoreisMor]

Those who make the most difference rarely receive the attention they deserve, but the best of them prefer it that way.

[@RikkiLane]

Finally lore videos again

[@Saberclash420]

Hey bro this is random but you should invite Jet Lucas on the live . Or do a interview talking about his part in ROTS and what games was his favorite .

[@alfredoortiz6756]

Quinlan Vos could have been a great detective .

[@jaieregilmore971]

I wonder if there was a Jedi Watchman on Naboo? I could imagine Anakin being one if he decide to settle down.

[@LoriTorrini]

Very 😎 cool. I wasn’t aware of the watchmen.

[@Walk1ngParAd0xX]

Who watches the Jedi Watchmen?

[@pOPmarKyt]

Star wars Knights of the old republic II the sith lords 🤓☝️

[@ShadowGirlyz]

I miss this content!!!

[@aliriogarciaflamenco3048]

Lore videos, lets goooooo!

[@SecretsHIS]

Dexter Jettster would be the best…can make a killer Omelette as well.

[@Carrie449-xyz]

Need to read these stories. How much was Mace Windu’s fault hahaha! I dunno who would have made a good one, but Yoda and Obi Wan technically took that role in their solitary life either protecting Luke or waiting for Luke so he could be trained with both remaining masters.

[@DarkRider2k3]

Honestly Ashoka makes for a good Watchmen/woman if you think about it. I guess training with Anakin would give you those qualities, and then going through Order 66 and all of that..

[@Hebrew_hammer52]

So was Depa Billaba considered a watchman in shatter point?

[@baku88]

We need more lore content

[@alfroml.a.5404]

THX Theory 💯

[@Gor85]

This is great video. Really great. Watchmen are really cool. True role models. I agree,Qui-Gon and Dooku would be great Watchmen. Mace Windu definitely not. Anakin too, when he would have been much more mature. Have a fantastic day too. May the Force be with you😊

[@The_Feastb3ast]

I missed this into!!!

[@Lego-Joe-1]

Anakin Skywalker could be the Jedi watchmen of Naboo. He is married to the senator of Naboo afterall.

[@stephencrowell1447]

Qui Gon would’ve been the ultimate watchmen. Luke too

[@normanbarud]

Honestly looks pretty ok Let’s hope it’s much better than that though

[@Blue21-m6j]

Kyle Katarn would have been a great one.

[@tiniusaustin1466]

The Jedi Watchmen: The Jedi who'd snitch on you for using the Force to change the channel... and then sell your Netflix password to Darth Vader. 👀📺💀

[@Narrowdark]

your ghost writers are doing a great job

[@gatorhunts4209]

Obi Wan my guy probably yaddle....and seems like Ezra is next in line. Some have greatness thrust upon them.

[@thebustaseatflashflash7864]

I love these videos can you make movies?

[@svenstefansson4022]

Master Arca on the thumbnail. Clicky click

[@ronnienambo4124]

So they are like Jedi Green Lanterns?

[@WenceslasHolec]

Luminara could have been the greatest watchman.

[@saberspecter]

That thumbnail threw me off. I thought that was a LotR Hobbit and not Anakin. He looks like he was just offered seventh breakfast.

[@Carrie449-xyz]

Ahhhh, I didn’t know C’Boath was watchman of Alderaan! Hue tge hell dud he get that job, he was walking Dark Side turn even more obvious than Anakin!!
