Ki-Adi Mundi EXPOSED - The "Perfect" Jedi was a Terrible Person

[@DMBLaan]

The best quote I can think of for the Jedi for much of their existence, but especially by the time of the Clone Wars, comes from a minor side quest npc Padawan in the Star Wars the Old Republic MMO, "The Jedi say that fear and emotions lead to the Dark Side, and yet the Jedi FEAR emotion"

[@dascoop6018]

Mundi was a terrible Jedi overall, but the greatest Jedi of his time's Jedi. By the time of Mundi, the Jedi had spent almost 1000 years having basically become a giant echo chamber. They only accepted infants to train, who would grow up to train more infants. They did not patrol or act, but wait for orders from the increasingly corrupt Republic. They were so focused on communing with the Force, they lost connection to the Living Force. In essence, Mundi was the perfect product of his environment, and a perfect example of why said environment was do horrific

Wasn't this kind of the point regarding the jedi by the time we got to clone wars?

They became arrogant, fearing to feel any kind of emotion or attachment while missing the irony of the phrase "fear is the path to the dark side". They spent so much time arrogantly believing the sith could never return only to miss the one literally under their nose

[@armyfirefighter]

Mundi was past controlled. He was cold. And cold is a dark side emotion all its own. Being empty of compassion is an emotion of its own. It may sound exaggerated but Mundi was as close as anyone had become to Vitiate before his first death. Vitiate was beyond anger or hate or any other dark emotion by the galactic cold war era. He was empty and cold. He simply acted toward his goal. Mundi didn't have Vitiate's goal, but I dare wager the state if mind they both had as they calculated getting their goal and then threw lives at it would have been eerily similar.

[@roycehuepers4325]

Even Palpatine is like that. Psychopathy signs basically

[@armyfirefighter]

@roycehuepers4325 I don't know. Palpatine felt anger, he took pleasure in being the dark lord. Mundi and Vitiate just felt nothing. Both Emperor's were the most powerful Sith of their eras but very different emotions. Maybe... might be better to compare Mundi to Jadus. He and Mundi might have had kinship in how they considered their daughters.

Windu’s strength was his brittle belief in the Jedi Dogma , not the Code and his blind acceptance of the Republic. Similar to Dooku’s hatred to the corruption of the Republic, Windu was just a bad day from falling to the Dark Side. Palpatine probably considered turning Windu but was worried that Windu was too strong, replacing Palpatine at the first opportunity. I think IF Windu and Anakin had been able to get along and train together, they both would have benefited and been much stronger, more centered.

I must be the only Star Wars fan that doesn’t mind Mundi, yes he’s unattached and approaches situations with pure logic yet I think he is given a hard time. One point that always annoys me though is all the videos on him suggest he didn’t care about his family, which is explicitly not true. In fact Mundi said himself he DID care for them but tried to remain unattached inline with the Jedi code but admitted that it was always difficult. So I don’t get why Star Wars researchers far greater than myself overlook this or flat out twist it to make Ki Adi out to be some type of unfeeling Jedi sociopath. He was an example of the Jedi’s flaws to be sure, but this is still somewhat of a harsh view on a layered character.

[@Swearengen1980]

Sociopath implies unhinged outbursts of anger, which is inaccurate here. Everyone gets that wrong, but they're implying he's a psychopath. And it's mostly, as another post points out, his treatment of Ahsoka and Yoda in the Clone Wars episodes.

@@Swearengen1980 personally I don’t think he’s either, which is my point; I’ve seen other videos refer to him as both and evil too. Which again all in all I see as harsh view. He is logical and unattached but in the Star War universe that doesn’t mean the same thing as it does in real life. Lets not forget, Ki-Adi isn’t even a human Jedi. We don’t know if Cierians as race are just naturally more logical or have different psyches in general but thats getting to deep into the mud. My point is I think people are harsh on Ki-Adi and the irony is, he is referred to as an extremeist and yet the evidence used to back this up is taking snippets of what he says and taking them to the extreme!

@@StormStar626 I wouldn't say he's always being logical. I'm a very rational, logical, and analytical person and have often been accused of being heartless or a psychopath.

[@StormStar626]

@@Swearengen1980 I disagree while I don’t deny he was arrogant and judgmental I would still argue it was rooted in logic. With Yoda especially his conclusion that Yoda has either becoming too old and his mind is suffering as a result or is under some attack by the Sith is a logical one, since what was really going on was both unheard of and astonishing and difficult to understand so therefore a logical person like Mundi would struggle to accept. Don’t forget its easy to judge because we as views saw the whole story to Mundi all he saw was and aged old being hearing voices no one could hear and even Yoda himself was unnerved and not totally convinced of what he was experiencing and out of all the Jedi on Kenobi was resolute in Yoda being of sound mind and that was more out of blind loyalty. With Ahsoka, Mundi was harsh and was more concerned about what would happen to the Jedi if they blindly defended Ahsoka based on nothing but her word. In many ways he approached this again with logic, after all they had had Jedi, Clones and Senators turn on them before and so it was no big stretch for it to potentially happen again. He was arrogant and too quick to cast her aside but many of the other members of the council did the same.

This is the second video I encounter completely flaming Ki adi Mundi and I need to defend him because a lot of people simply seem to lack the ability to think from another perspective. 1. His species is a 2 brain species known to be highly rational. Therefor developing a stoic mindset so that emotions dont influence your actions is a very rational approach and practical as it helps with the jedis approach on emotion People seem to forget that nlt letting yourself be influenced by emotions is not the same as not caring. Ki adi does care, he is just a stoic and doesnt let him influence it which makes him seem cold He has no ties to his family nor his wifes because he has so many of them and practically cant spend a lot of time with them so obviously he wouldnt be emotionally destroyed as much if smth happens to them. 2. Questioning Ahsoka in light of the evidence considering the fact that hr doesnt know her well is 100% reasonable. Its fking war, everyone can be a traitor 3. Saying that yoda is under dark side influence is a very good suggestion that was partly true due to sidious manipulating yoda. 4. Everyone seems to forget that if the jedi had listened to mundi he would've carried the shit out of them and prevented order 66, he proposed for palpatine to lay down emergency power after grievous death so that if he refuses the jedi can intervene and not just arrest him out of nowhere like windu did.

Master Luminara Unduli was the same way. When it came to her padawan, Barris Offee. During a battle to destroy a separatist droid production facility Barris was sent in with Ahsoka Tano. They succeeded in their mission, but was trapped in the rubble. Luminara was willing to accept the death of Barris as “The will of The Force”. Anakin was not willing to give up on Ahsoka. There was an episode of this battle in The Clone Wars. Luminara was so cold 🥶 about willing to “let go” and blamed Anakin for being too compassionate with his padawan. Perhaps 🤔 this is what led to Barris becoming rogue with The Jedi. Ki-Adi-Mundi’s men hated him. Especially during the battle of Mygeeto. Many soldiers died needlessly and he seemed very unsympathetic towards them. Though he saved their commanding officer many times, he had a lot of disdain for Ki-Adi-Mundi. When Order 66 was delivered, the clones had no problem enforcing it and violently killed Ki-Adi-Mundi. But if he was considered the “perfect Jedi”, he acted relatively similar to that of a Sith.

Perhaps when he was in battle mode it was easy to be emotion free and cold but in private he felt all of his pain and loss.

There's something I disagree with on this video and that's saying that Mace Windu was the example of how wrong the Jedi council was, by comparison Mundi is a much more appropriate example as he displays just how dogmatic and ridgid the Jedi had become as whole, while Mace did jump the gun it was Jedi like Krell and Mundi that made the galaxy turn on the Jedi so readily.

Ki Adi Mundi: Guys, for the 200th time. What about the droid attack on the W- Clone Troopers: LET'S RATTLE EM BOIS

[@SCaptian458]

Out of many of the Jedi from the Clone Wars era, it wouldn't have been surprising that if Luke did hear stories about Mundi, he would've been absolutely horrified and disgusted by how he basically did not care about anything. Mace Windu became a symbol to his Jedi Order to outright not get involved with the politics of the government, Mundi would serve as an example of what not to become.

[@oakularoregon6623]

I would've prefer Windu to become my master, he's an example of what a Jedi should strive to be alright.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

"The Jedi Code forbids attachments. I cared for them but tried to remain unattached. It was always... difficult." - Ki-Adi-Mundi when talking about his wives and family. "There is something very touching about them. They look like soldiers; they fight like soldiers; and sometimes they eventalk like soldiers. They have all the finest qualities of the fighting man. But behind that is nothing - no love, no family, no happy memory that comes from having truly lived. When I see one of these men killed, I weep more for him than for any ordinary soldier who has lived a full and normal life." - Ki-Adi-Mundi on the Galactic Marines under his command. "Greater love has no being than to lay down their life for a friend. Rivi-Anu is now one with the Living Force. It will make me proud to one day join her." - Ki-Adi-Mundi on Jedi knight Rivi-Anu after she sacrificed herself to save Mundi, a number of other Jedi, and their clones. Ah, yes, a totally emotionless and uncaring Jedi. Mundi absolutely cared about many people, KZbinrs just seem to think he was a complete sociopath for some idiotic reason.

[@baldaction3510]

The council ask him to bear no attachment. He followed orders. He is less a fanatic than just a soldier.

[@robpolaris7272]

I get why they allowed him to have children, but putting him on the council was a mistake. Nobody respects someone who condemns others for something they are doing. Hypocrisy is a universally disliked trait.

[@theguybehindyou4762]

Perhaps the Jedi do need to end- but only if they are replaced with something better...by Luke.

[@yangxiu4341]

I am unsure if the jedi is based on the Chinese Tao religion but they sure have alot of similarities. Mundi' design is similar to the traditional design of a chinese conservationist/xianren where they have long/large forehead. his belief/Jedi belief is also similar to Tao where detachment to worldly desires & possessions.

[@vencislavdimitrov9304]

I find similarities between Ki Ady Mundy and Darth Sidious - both of them doesn't really care about anyone in the galaxy. It's possible that Mundy take some aspects of the dark side, without realizing it.

[@sagittariusa7662]

Ki-Adi Mundi's rebuttal: "But what about the Droid Attack on the Wookies?"

[@renegadeyoshi341]

Master Yoda trained this guy, but when Yoda began to hear the voice of Qui-Gon Jin, Mundi suggested to the council that Yoda was the target of a sith plot and was potentially a threat to the other Jedi and the order itself. I understand the gravity of the situation, but it just seemed odd to me that he jumped to the conclusion so fast.

[@kenhammscousin4716]

I think generally, it is perfectly acceptable for most Jedi to have certain emotional attachments to close people, such as parents, siblings, a significant other, but the Jedi know through experience that such strong attachments can lead to poor judgment and result in actions that are bad for the Jedi way of life.. with Anakin, they were so weary about him that they went to far in making sure that he would remain on the right path, they were strict and tbh unfair, with all the right intentions.. this made Anakin a bit resentful and showed him that even the best Jedi can be mistaken with their zealous ideas of what makes a Jedi. IMO, his turn to evil still didn't make sense. Came out of left field, bigly. But this makes sense as an attributing factor.

Only thing I don't like about Mundi is his blinding dogmatic ways to the jedi...He was so ready to just hand over Ahsoka to the republic his own...even though it was clear she could have not been the real criminal...

[@kadbenson7540]

I feel like mundis "care" or interests in his planet and his family was reallyjist another extent of his narcissism, he caredfor the planet bc thats where HE came from, and for his family bc they came from and were considered an extension of Himself, and for no other reason besides that. He didnt want his planet or family to in anyway cast a bad light on him, and thats the on,y reason he had any interest at all. Ki adi also didnt follow the force, he followed established dogma, for a guy with two brains he was incredibly narrow minded and inflexible.

[@kingnamor777]

⁠@@Dragone38CM I choose, neither, since both organizations are flawed. I would prefer to remain a human being. Since the Force itself is a curse on all force-sensitive. I learned the truth about the philosophy and ideologies of both Jedi and Sith. We learned that both orders are flawed and cursed under an everlasting destiny. A cycle of war without end, under the control of the force itself. You see it don't you; it's no different than Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, My Hero Academia and so many other beloved cartoons and anime series. Who are cursed with godlike powers and kill one another for the sake of peace, conquest, control, balance, etc. Those who don't use said power wisely or abandon all hope or turn to an evil path thinking they could achieve world domination, revolution or destruction of society. When in reality the answer and lesson was to let go of power or strength. That is not your own and stay a human being. Whether it is the Force, bending, magic, chakra, quirks or superpowers. But I guess that is the moral flaw within us humans. Shackled and chained by philosophies, beliefs, orders, nations and creeds. And can't let go of power that is not our own.

Me and a friend have a running joke about Ki-Adi Mundi as he is the perfect master for Anakin.

[@kingnamor777]

I think what makes Mundi a bad person is the fact that he put Jedi Order first ahead of his own family. In doing so he removed himself of his humanity, compassion and the little attachment he had left. He is a byproduct of anti-life Jedi. Because the Jedi destroy human nature within themselves. All for the greater good.

One of the reasons I hate The Clone Wars. Ki-Adi Mundi was originally a crazy compassionate Jedi as the Clone Wars microseries and comics based off it showed (he even counted the exact number of Jedi and Clones that died under him so to properly mourn them after the Clone Wars). Clone Wars made him a sociopath.
