Even in Legends the Jedi seemed to have a pattern of ignoring those among them who received visions of the future, stretching all the way back to their predecessors the Je'daii Order on Tython, who exiled the Je'daii Daegon Lok to the moon Bogan when he received visions of a coming invasion by the Rakatan Infinite Empire and tried to warn them about it, but was labelled a madman by them.

[@KhukuriGod]

Yep. He and his Twilek Je'daii friend (someone called Ryo or something) both had those visions. The Twilek remained silent for the most part while Daegon Lok was exiled to Bogan for revealing the visions. While it is true that the Prisoner of Bogan did indeed fall to the dark side, his visions were nonetheless true.

[@darthgoku1580]

@@Spartan3D213 Since you mention the Padawan Massacre, that could have been a huge contributing factor to why the Jedi eventually stopped listening to visions and started ignoring those who have them, because the one time they did listen to a vision and took it seriously (i.e, the Jedi Covenant) it led to disastrous consequences. Since the future is always in motion as Yoda says, a vision can have multiple different interpretations, so trying to assign one particular interpretation or meaning to a vision can be very dangerous because it could cause tunnel vision and end up leading to the very thing in that vision that the Jedi are trying to prevent, thus turning it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Wait a second. The Jedi were actually right in the end: they could have been well aware that every attempts of influencing the future based on force sight could be instead what causes that future in the first place. Ironic, by creating the army that was supposed to save the Order and the Republic, Sifo Dyas was responsible of the first step towards their destruction

[@morgen3369]

Omg you're right ahaha. When you think about it, trying to see into the future and influence on it can very well be seen as going against the nature of things. Which is something the jedi didn't agree with. It's using the force for your own selfish purposes rather than letting life happen.

[@clashwithkeen]

Wrong. 1) The Jedi order along with the senate would have been wiped out immediately by the droid army if not for the clone army. 2) If the Jedi council hadn't of been insistent on turning a blind eye to the future, Sifo Dias wouldn't have gone alone to commission the clone army; he would have been backed by the Jedi council which in turn the Sith's plan to install regulators with order 66 in the clones wouldn't have happened because there would have been oversight. Everything that transpired was because of the Jedi's lack of foresight and their push against it. When Jedi have the ability to see the future that is a gift from the force which means it is the will of the force to have it and use it.

[@lilace1436]

[@TheInfallibleFallacy]

Angel Castillo he isn’t making an assumption. Without the clone army the separatists would have ran a train on the republic. They didn’t have an army before the military creation act. The clone troopers are literally what bought the Jedi time and even so they couldn’t figure it out because of their own blindness.

[@DarkroeTech]

The entire Star Wars storyline showcases how either extreme, the Sith or the Jedi, can blind themselves in their own perspective. The Sith want absolute control and power, while the Jedi want absolute order and obedience. Neither works because they are both extremist perspectives. The Jedi preach that emotions are bad, and the Sith preach that giving into emotions makes one stronger, but it is not the emotions themselves that are bad, nor what makes someone stronger. Emotions and thoughts are uncontrollable. They come and go as they please. It is what we do with our thoughts and emotions, how we act on them, that determines who we are. The Sith let their desire guide their actions. The Jedi let their desire guide their actions. It's just a difference between what they desire. So neither side is very analytical about their thoughts or actions, and thus they are slaves to their desires. This is why the Sith and Jedi constantly keep rising and falling, because it's the same thing over and over again. It's also why Sith rise from Jedi and Jedi rise from Sith; when the desires of a Sith don't match the desires of the Sith code, they leave. The same with Jedi. This usually leads to the other extreme, since the Jedi suppress emotions and the Sith offer a freedom of release, while the Sith suppress morality and the Jedi offer a sense of moral companionship. Then there's the middle ground, which like modern day politics, is usually overshadowed by the extreme perspectives focused on in the media. The middle ground is realizing one can be moral and emotional; expressing emotion does not make one a bad person, necessarily. Expressing anger may be just stating how upset one is and why. Or, in the case of the Sith, it could result in violent murder. In the case of the Jedi, it just simmers, looking for a chance to be released. In this, it is easy to see that anger is not the issue, but how anger is expressed. The same for every other emotion. Thus the strongest force wielders are the ones who are neither Sith nor Jedi, but those who understand both Peace and War; Love and Hate. In essence: there is no single perspective that will solve every problem. So analyze as many perspectives as possible, finding the usefulness validity of each.

[@jotero-colon526]

very well phrased.

[@jessicaferri8289]

An interesting commentary on Sith and Jedi and the human condition. There is one thing I disagree with - " thoughts and emotions are uncontrollable...". Read 'Your Erroneous Zones' by Dr.Wayne Dryer, he, like all psychologist's will tell you the reality, your thoughts are your own, they emminate from y.o.u. , controlling them is within your power like any other function of your body. You can breathe or hold your breath at least until your body's natural survival function kicks in and you exhale. You can choose to shout or not shout. If someone tells you to kick a stray dog, will you do it if you don't want to? That's self control. We, as humans are a culmination of our choices and actions, actions that we can and do choose.

[@sirblue5586]

The ancient Grey Jedi had both perspectives

[@DarkroeTech]

@@jessicaferri8289 Oh, I absolutely agree on that. I think a better way I can state my perspective is to say that I cannot control the thoughts that pop into my head sometimes, as the human brain is constantly generating new ideas (sometimes disturbing ones). However, I control how I address those thoughts. Do I kick the puppy? NO! Similarly, emotions come and go based on environmental stimulus. However, I control how I express those emotions. If angry or upset, I choose indeed whether to shout or simply state how I feel in a calm manner. I am not trying to say we have no self-control, but rather say that self control comes from our responses to our thoughts and emotions. Definitely going to read that book though. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@DarkroeTech you are right about "random" thought. It's that alot of people don't realize how much control they are really capable of. "Response" to thought and emotion fleeting is a choice.

[@michellewilt4479]

Yep. I think it was less warning and more self fulfilling prophecy on Syfo Dias part. He didn't see what caused the war and the downfall of the Jedi, he just saw that it was something that was going to happen and tried to act against it by creating an army, creating the very downfall he foresaw. The force works to balance itself, it saw that the Jedi had become too embedded in their dogmatic ways to completely follow the will of the force. I hold that the light side IS balanced force, however the Jedi used the force for their own powerful position, no different than the Sith in that regard, and bent the force to their will rather than the other way around. So it sent warnings to stop and backtrack, but by the time of Syfo Dias, it had enough and set in motion the chain of events that would bring both the Jedi and Sith down. That's also why I don't see the sequels as canon, simply because the path Luke was on at the end of ROTJ was the correct path of following the will of the force.

[@LordSesshomaru86]

"This would end up being the very catalyst for the Jedi's own extinction." Sounds like the Jedi were right to warn against looking into the future, even punishing those that did, since it was Sifo's attempt to change the future that actually doomed the jedi.

In answer to your question: Yes. It's mind-boggling that no Jedi Master knew the definition of the word "Balance", in the context of Anakin bringing "Balance to the Force". At that point in history, the Force was entirely unbalanced in favor of the Light. So, that could only mean that he would either raise the Dark side up to equal the Light or he would decimate the Light to the point of near non-existence to match the Dark. Not understanding one word is what led to the destruction of the Jedi Order. Way to fail, Masters.

Your comment is as sensible as saying that the body must have just the right amount of cancer to be balanced or that society must have just the right amount of murder and theft to be balanced. No. The light side is balance. What unbalanced the Jedi is thinking they could ever be purely light. They ignored the reality that we all hold dark urges. They suppressed rather than acknowledging and dealing with such emotions. Yoda learned that very fact when he faced his own inner darkness in the episodes with the Whills to learn the ability to become Force ghosts. The balance is not in having just the right amount of disease in your body. Its acknowledging that we can't ever get rid of disease and thus must take proper steps to keep healthy.

[@noneayourbusiness5149]

@@madhatter1057 You're confusing the "Right amount" by a societal standard and the Balance in the Force itself. The Force doesn't care about societies. It cares about balance, and that balance comes in the presence of both light and dark. So at a time where the Light Side vastly overpowered any presence of the Dark, a "balancing" event would only ever be detrimental to the Light or supportive of the Dark (neither of which the Jedi would ever want to happen). That said, just like death being a necessary part of life and fires being necessary to trigger regrowth of forests and such, I'm wondering if a truly over-abundance of Light Side wasn't actually a bad thing, even if it benefited Jedi as a society. But that's more of just a random thought :)

There is a constant in Star Wars' visions that nobody inuniverse and many outside don't get: the Force visions are often a description of what will happen regardless of choices, that is: the people's choices to avoid what the visions tells are often what leads to the vision happening. The best examples are found with Anakin's dreams of Padmé and Shmi dying, Ezra's visions of his parents, Luke's vision of his friends in danger, etc.. These are some of the many visions inside SW which don't give a 'this MIGHT happen', but 'this WILL or IS happening'. The Force is revelatory in these moments, not an adviser.

It just so happens that all of those have failed. OR You're right and the force is merely showing the future so people know there "place". To ensure that things happen as the force wills it.

Regarding how things would go if they heeded the warnings, it’s hard to say if it would really have saved them. Actively rejecting the warnings certainly hastened their demise but their concerns about acting on them were valid; raising a grand army suddenly would certainly rouse suspicions and voicing that their connection with the force was being disrupted would sow doubts in the senate. Of course, it’s also worth noting that the necessary actions would have been less dire if they simply ACCOUNTED for the omens when they started appearing. Acknowledging the grim future as a risk to consider rather than a threat to their status. It’s like hitting the snooze button on your alarm, the more times you do it the more likely you are to be late and the harder you have to push yourself make it on time.

Change the scenario and the ratio changes. If you're classical needs are met and work is largely accomplished, then play and free time is a necessity to reduce stress. No, just having equal parts of each does not mean you're fine in all cases. Likewise it's idiocy to claim you can't work without not-working, a scenario in which you are always active and have no free time is entirely possible. In america such is the standard.

And theres the loophole. If he didn’t listen or follow his forsight, he wouldn’t have created the army that would lead to the destruction of the jedi. And we need to remember, Anakin also had foresight abilities but they were being manipulated by Sidious. Perhaps master syphodias’s visions were also being manipulated by Palpatine to manipulate him into acting on those visions in the way he did.

That is true. And perhaps interacting with those sith artifacts opened the door to the dark side just enough, just a sliver, to let Sidious in.

[@nox_cadit]

Was Sidious even alive? I believe not.

[@TheKarmak]

There is a reason why Intelligence Agencies on our planet exist, so that the nation they work for can have advance warnings on future threats. If the same can be said for the Jedi Order, I find it problematic at best that they would ignore force visions on such a dire future just because they were afraid (there is no fear) of their reputation. The very thing that gave them their powers is trying to say "hey guys, bad stuff be coming your way, you should look into it and be prepared!", and the Jedi go "Shut up The Force, we got a rep to uphold!". As for Palpatine manipulating Sifo-Dyas visions, this video mentioned that no one but his master and dooku knew about them. Dooku may have told Sidious about them when he turned sith, but by that time I'm guessing sidious was more interested in killing SD instead of manipulating his visions, after all, SD was a threat to his plans to destroy the order. This loophole seems more like an accidental plot device then an actual loophole to me.

@@TheKarmak "the video mentions noone knew about the visions" that we know about. There is nothing to say Sidious (or another sith initially) was not the cause of the visions. And besides- he's the most powerful sith in the galexy. Whats to say that he needed to be told about Cipher Dias' visions? Perhaps he got a force vision of his own. Why on earth was he a danger to his plans if he was the one putting the visions in his head? If the Sepretists had defeated the bulk of the Jedi on Genosis, so what? The separatists win the war and Papatine looses all his influence once peace breaks out and the remaining jedi recruit more followers. The protracted war and the clone army are DIRECTLY responsible for him obtaining absolute power over the known galaxy and exterminating the Jedi (or nearly exterminating). Why would he kill the only jedi that can bring about the fall of the jedi? You need to rethink your reasoning here kiddo. Maybe take a minute and think before your next reply. I honestly think you could have considered all this and saved us both some time. And sure enough, he could have created the clone army himself. But wouldn't that have cast a big shadow of suspicion on him? A former jedi master is the perfect patsy.

I think when we are talking about something like foresight, we are talking about something akin to a double edged sword. When you run about trying to prevent something that is set in stone, all you would do in your meddling is become more involved in the hastening of the event. I don't think these people should have been locked away, but certainly people like Yoda should have been able to express this context that moving from visions of the future to condemn those that have not yet done anything is a dangerous and slippery slope. The right answer definitely isn't locking people away, but with Jedi being so unused to dealing with strong emotions they were not well equipped, and if these ideas got out to the temple at large it could shake up the whole order and cause more revans ( which in the end, it did). Consider this, though: the last time the Jedi got involved in a large scale war, it was the mandalorians, right? They had seen peace, but their own records would have shown revan fall because he was too emotional about the conflict, and that lead to disaster. Long story short, while I don't think the Jedi made the right choice, I know there is more to consider to the choice they made than people seem to let on.

[@groberti]

If it is true foresight and sees that future then yes, you can't prevent it. Every action you take actually just takes you to that given moment in time. The same with Anakin, he saw Padme dying and, without any surprise, she died.
