Why The Jedi Council NEVER Destroy Sith Holocrons (Big Mistake) - Star Wars Explained

[@libertariandragon9142]

I suspect it's a combination of factors. 1. Definitely being influenced by the Holocrons. 2. Genuinely thinking they could be useful against any resurgent Sith. And 3. Fear of the dark power contained within escaping before they could properly deal with it.

[@aodhhanswtor7252]

Most likely it was to learn Sith secrets, methods and history. As ignorance often leads to defeat. However, many of the sith holocron gate keepers were masters as teaching just the right courses along a path where the student would gain more and more knowledge and therefore more and more power. Even Luke Skywalker acknowledged the need to learn Sith methods; allowing Tionne Solusar to study one at his academy on Yavin 4. However, only while being supervised by 4 Jedi along with medical personnel using scanners to monitor her for any physical or psychological changes. Also keep in mind, not all Sith holocrons are dangerous. Jedi Odan-Urr kept the Sith holocron he found at the end of the Great Hyerspace War in the library on Osus for more than 1000 years. Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas also studied this holocron as well; neither suffered from adverse effects. Of note however, is Jedi Exar Kun killed Odan-Urr to obtain this holocron in order to gain Sith knowledge.

But there is no ignorance, there is knowledge. 😂

[@wenotmenetworkglobal3978]

Out of all the Channels I watch on KZbin that Give Star Wars Breakdowns, this One is DEFINITELY the Most Serious lol. I feel like this Sh!t gets DEEP

[@decave]

Bane destroyed Revan’s holocron after he’d already “used” it and it no longer contained the force, which may have been why he was able to crush it.

[@eds1942]

They contain information, teachings, training and recording, sometimes histories. Even virtual intelligence avatars in the form of important Jedi or Sith or those that created it, that will challenge whoever tries to access it to see if they worthy of the information locked inside.

[@hristokoev749]

Please make as many videos as you can on everything there is in Star Wars universe. In particular, make a holocron on absolutely everything about the jedi and another holocron about the sith and everything related! Pretty, please!

[@doublintucksveto5321]

I would guess it's a matter of needing to know their enemy and what they're up against.

[@Sentient_Blob]

Why couldn’t they destroy the holocrons and just transcribe the info into books and stuff that aren’t corrupting?

[@gggvvvjggbgg4517]

estaban impresos con la fuerza......es como un disco usb escrito con fotones de luz,no se podia modificar y solo se podia destruir si quitabas los fotones del disco

[@davidsmith7962]

Using someone’s own teachings against them can in turn corrupt them.

[@thedrizzle899]

This channel is my equivalent to Holocrons

[@brokenbridge6316]

I wonder what would've happened had the Jedi kept the Sith Holocron's in some secret location.

[@michaelmarcum3898]

Look at all of the Jedi who betrayed the order. Dooku, Vader.....just how secret could you keep the location of the holocrons from someone who was as high of a rank and the padawan of Yoda as Dooku? Dooku was able to sneak into the archives and erase a planet. If he could do that and he knew the Jedi were hiding holocrons away somewhere he likely could have found out where.

[@brokenbridge6316]

@@michaelmarcum3898---Unless the location was a very, very tightly guarded secret. As in only High Council members knew and no one else. Or better yet only the Grand Master and no one else.

[@dspartridge84]

Destroying knowledge because of its source sounds like the darkest path to me.

[@aster4jaden]

Sith Holocrons are so cool.

[@westfold-c8m]

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THE SITH SONG PLAYED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO ?

[@tempest-523]

I agree could be influenced by the holocrons. I think another factor is some of the knowledge is neither good or bad. Not everything the Jedi knew or practiced was good or bad, and some things simply just changed as what was acceptable and what was not, whether force abilities or light saber techniques. So the same could be said for the Sith, some knowledge would not be evil it would just be knowledge... the only problem is accessing that knowledge and not having the Sith holocron influence you would be a problem. Because you could easily be influenced to use more and more of that knowledge that gradually became more evil.

[@Blimbus-Blombo]

Yeah like using the force to hunt food. Neither good nor bad.

[@Gor85]

I think holocrons hypnotized Jedi. They prevented them from destroying them. Also,they had knowledge,teachings,they were Master. Easy to access. This is it. I remember Atris from KOTOR. She was indeed corrupted. She surrounded herself with those who can't feel the Force. And we know why. Kreia caledl her out numerous times . We will be careful of all holocrons. May the Force be with you too

[@MatD1979]

At 4:40 what is that Jedi's name?

[@MattisLegend]

Atris didn’t train the sith triumvirate

[@LordWyatt]

“I know there are things about the Force that they are *not* telling me.” -Anakin Skywalker If only they had trusted him more, he may not have betrayed them for Sidious’ knowledge if he could sift the holocrons himself. What are Luke’s thoughts on Holocrons? Does he mention them in the book of the Sith?

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Anakin lacked the emotional maturity and the discipline to learn such things without being corrupted. All Palpatine had to do was tell him a story, and he considered becoming a Sith. And besides, he didn't really learn much of anything from Sidious anyway. You're forgetting the fact that Sidious only dangled that carrot in front of Anakin to turn him into a lifelong henchman.

[@snowthepro22]

The thumbnail 😭😭😭😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@richv1893]

Keeping knowledge to use against one's enemy is generally wise but not in this case. The jedi should have immediately destroyed them upon finding them.

[@WillFredward7167]

I wonder if it was a like a less extreme version of Sauron’s ring. If you’re actually intending to destroy one, it exerts tremendous pressure to stop you. A cool idea either way

[@mariotibbrine1]

There has to be balance.

[@zvonimirpastuovic1116]

if i were a jedi council i would keep it in order to test if someone was a "true" jedi with it .. if he resist he passes .. if he cannot XXXXXXX

[@dominickgaramella6431]

Seems to me like the Jedi order was attempting to hoard and hide all knowledge of the dark side because they feared it

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

Any reasonable person would be afraid of it. It took Ajunta Pall 3,000 yrs of misery just to finally learn that there is never any real upside to surrendering one's self to the way of the Dark Side.

[@yokai333]

Knowledge is only as evil as the information that is being used

[@Go-rv3rb]

Have you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?

[@Dragon66898]

They should had a place to destroy Sith holocrons like wild space or just throw them to a star.

[@setokaiba5364]

Before Watching All Of This, Art Of War Rules.

[@kimwelch4652]

So, what happened to all those holocrons when the Sidious Empire fell?

[@inquisitorgarza312]

I understand that knowledge is power and it is a part of the Jedi Code, but the dangers of the Sith Holocrons were too dangerous to be contained and secure, and considering how corrupting and tempting they are to the Jedi it should be more wiser to destroy it.

[@DeathScepter]

that is why they kept them into hidden areas of the Jedi Temple and Only Jedi Master can access them

[@mariusconstantin6057]

Should've went to them the moment the Sith reappear. And any other source of Sith knowledge

[@ethanhyde6617]

Star wars equivalent of a USB thumb drive

[@Andrew.Spartacus.C.]

*considering the events according to both, lore, films, and canon...I'd say this was a very stupid move, as they would eventually end up in the possession of Sidious, but i digress.*

[@YadrielHernandez-w5x]

Wich wan would you be JEDI, GREY JEDI, DARK JEDI, SITH ?????

[@jjkehrley]

Is this canon or legends?

[@antisociallyvibin4l]

YES!

[@eds1942]

Both. This was Legends and now in canon, it turns out that there was a secret Sith shrine deep within the Temple that may have even contained some.

[@gri4108]

I'm confused 🤔 what exactly does this item do?

[@MLGProTroller]

Holds information, Techniques on fighting, history of Jedi, sith, and the galaxy as a whole, and anything else the creator added to the holocron.

[@VoldoronGaming]

Sometimes they are traps, sometimes they give their knowledge freely and other sith holocrons exact a price to access the forbidden knowledge.

[@ericanderson735]

Because compassion or resentment to far gone are corrupted and terrible. Same as in real life, left or right if you don’t find balance close to the middle they are extreme and destructive.

[@mkb4560]

So Sith holocrons are like the Jedi books Luke had

[@marshalllatta2073]

I love star wars holocrones l want to see more sith holocrones they are too destroyed

[@RainFall2112]

Destroying information is like being the Taliban.

[@samuelrobles3737]

Day 284 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

[@kohakanhanan2928]

They were fools

[@rinokumera5907]

Yo

[@Aggamemnon]

So Jedi are hypocrites and thieves basically got it 😂

[@Emperorandydarklordofthesith]

They sag their pants

[@bigl261991]

Yup thats what makes the writing in star wars so good.

[@Aggamemnon]

I could never be a Jedi, Code of the sith Tattooed on my arm 😂 I'd do some bad shit 😂 but also good, I'd be an anti hero but the best kind 😂

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Studying your enemy is not hypocritical. It's intelligent

[@Aggamemnon]

@@HyperactiveNeuron okay this is star wars not the art of war and still hiding things that would've probably helped all Jedi in many ways is fucked up they kept it to themselves when they should've embraced it and that's why Luke changed everything because he was smart enough to understand the jedi were wrong

[@hristokoev749]

I realized how Einstein succeeded. He succeeded, because he read the Bible. By the way, I plan to study all other religions. POLYTHEISM AND OMNISM!!! Polytheism means to believe in many Gods and Goddesses. Omnism is the belief in all religions and knowing that no religion is the absolute truth, but every religion contains truth. Monotheism means to believe in only one God. Deism is the belief that there is a God, without submitting to a particular religion. I recommend that you start with Christianity. Read to be saved, to learn to be good and to become more and more successful!

[@kingshadow8782]

Okay!

[@kevincalgta]

The Jedi were fools for keeping knowledge that didn’t belong to them. In my honest opinion the knowledge of the dark side holds way more power, and Waymore things that are interesting rather than the knowledge of the Jedi, which is nothing but nonsense and foolish ideologies.

[@kingshadow8782]

when u realize cinema made it a tradition to sell us live action films that are just downplayed versions of books🥲
