Why the Jedi Ignored the Signs That Anakin had Fallen to the Darkside

[@DestroyerJamie]

@@gavinbacholl5278 There's actually some debate in whether in Canon, Veers dies to that. In Legends he doesn't. However the only reference to the event is in the novelization of Empire Strikes Back, as it happened off-screen and only in the book, some fans don't even know that this happened. In an interview with his actor, Julian Glover, stated that he thinks Veers might have survived (though I doubt this has any weight) and that he could well be brought back if Lucasfilm wants. I'm not going to throw my opinion into this, what I've said here is just the facts, which is: If you're going off Legends, no he didn't die. If you're going purely off the movies, who knows that event was never shown, it was cut from the film. If you're going off the novelization, yeah he most likely died.

Does Darth Vader/Anakin deserve everything he has? Most people work for what they have, but it seems like he has had everything given to him. He has even failed the Emperor several times, but still managed to walk away unharmed, while the Imperial Guards had to fight to the death to even get the job, Ahsoka and her being accused (she could have died, "When you are found guilty, I ask the court that the full extent of the law be brought down upon you, including penalty of death!"" - Tarkin), etc. Even Luke seems to work harder.

[@radioraheem9820]

@@namename9998 I'm a little late but Anikin worked hard for everything he had. He was allowed to train as a Jedi reluctantly by the council and once he did, it took him years to become as skilled as he was. As Vader, people were constantly trying to kill him and while de did have some notable failures, he mostly had success

[@namename9998]

Radio Raheem, it's never too late. While Anakin did work hard (although some would argue otherwise, such as being responsible for the success when he did some piloting as a child, when he was told to not go anywhere), did Vader. I've only watched the movies, so I don't know how responsible he was for the victories. At best, because of the staff he had, he was victorious, but he himself, was he really responsible for all his successes, or did he just get lucky being the heir to some multi-billionaire/win the midichlorian lottery.

Logan smith The counseling department was too underfunded to help someone that big of a basket case

[@cyqry]

Same reason a lot of people who aren't qualified therapists/councilors fail to help other people with emotional issues... they're simply not capable of it. The Jedi were trained from a very young age to put aside all emotions and attachments, they can't help Anakin because they don't have even the slightest clue what he's going through. Its kind of similar to in KOTOR 2 when Kreia says that even a fool like Atton is "more capable" than a Jedi, a normal human isn't forced into reliance on the force and can use their more natural talents and, in this case, empathy.

[@nateskywalker3571]

Jedi could fuck hookers they just couldn't develop serious relationships where they would jepordize everything for that person

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

Logan smith, THIS! Yes! Oh and perhaps because Jedi are supposed to “bury their emotions” - Obi-Wan’s exact words to Luke. “Bury your emotions deep down” and not learn to deal with them like mature people and learn somewhat how to detect how the Dark Side works so you can defend yourself. Emotions are portrayed in the prequels especially to make people weak, vulnerable because they have them, whereas emotions should be an opportunity to develop strength, to develop yourself, and learn from those around you - even your enemies. The Jedi in this era are so afraid of their own emotions, their own shadow, their own dark sides, so to speak - they don’t even acknowledge much less process these emotions. No wonder they become so easily seduced by the dark side. Emotional issues not addressed fester under the surface. I’m not saying the story is bad writing, don’t get me wring - to me SW is a giant cautionary tale to quit stuffing down emotions, and process them as you go along, in order to become stronger. This development of emotional intelligence could have enabled the Jedi in this era to detect some of Palpy’s lies or fallacy. Not everything is about being Force-sensitive/powerful. Their failure was their lack of emotional sensitivity on a whole.

[@hatoru17]

The Jedi were so emotionally restrained ad most people would think they were like drones. There was no way they could help and again what their lack of fully comprehending basic needs for emotions. He was forced to keep everything bottled up. Even his feelings and marriage to Padme who was Kept Secret so that hurt even more. But the Sith are all about emotions and Palpatine knows more about human emotions and which buttons to push. Although being incapable of actually feeling things like love, he knew still what it was about and how to use it to his advantage. He knew full well what Anakin was going through and how incapable the Jedi were of understanding how to deal with it. And with other factors playing into Anakin's emotional spiral, Sidious didn't have to do too much other than act like the father-figure Anakin never had. He listened to the boy can understood more about him than Obi-Wan ever did and took advantage of it. If the Jedi didn't read emotions as something that would be inherently bad for the order then maybe they could have helped Anakin in his time of need of emotional guidance. He wouldn't have fell to The Darkside so gradually. Even Obi-Wan, despite knowing some of what Anakin was feeling, was still incapable of helping him because the Jedi Code that forced Anakin to go beyond everyone's back.

there were so many ways the council including obi wan could have prevented anakins fall to the dark side. 1. the council should never had used anakin to spy on palpatine 2. anakin didn't have a family and felt out of place among other jedi, the closest he had to a family was obi wan and asokah tano which were more or less like siblings to him and palpatine being like a friend and mentor to anakin since he was a child. Qui gon jinn would have been like a father and only one capable to help him. hence duel of the fates meaning the fate of the chosen one the boy. where he died and lost. so anakins fate was lost. 3. Obi wan didn't side with anakin during the council and was also flawed, he didn't consider anakins feels when it came to the will of the council, to which in their own arrogans and distrust of anakin was also their own making in a way. 4. when anakin is revealed that palpatine is a sith lord he decides to tell mace windu and to see what palpatine said they would do about him is true. He tells Mace wind about palpatine being the sith, and asks to be with in the arrest. now he told anakin to stay and that he didn't trust him, which left anakin ponder for some time in confusion, despair to lose the only family he had a chance to get since before he has been long busy fighting endless of wars in the clone wars. Again if mace had anakin with him to bring down palpatine anakin would have remained on the light side. 5. the jedi were busy playing politics rather than being caring of the people they were completely detached of emotions as the feared it would lead to the dark side, if it had been different anakin would have remained on their side. 6. anakin was alienated for a long time in the jedi not only in the council, being denied rank of master while still be in the council and since he was the chosen one he was treated differently. 7. the jedi didn't allow to love which also surpressed a lot of emotions in anakin, told him to move on let go rather than being there for him and assisting and showing him how to work through emotions properly.

[@mechengr1731]

[@HolyknightVader999]

Er, no, it's the opposite. The Jedi Council didn't trust Anakin enough, which is what led to their downfall. They didn't trust him fully, they were only forced to train him as a promise to a dead comrade, so they held him back in terms of training (a Jedi Master named Jorus C'baoth wanted to teach Anakin Force Meld, and Kenobi shot that idea down) and they didn't even let him become a Jedi Master. That created resentment in Anakin, which led him to seek someone else to trust-someone like the Chancellor. That in turn made it easy for Sidious to turn him, since Anakin saw how the Jedi Council treated him like shit, so he naturally became a supporter of the Chancellor. If they trusted Anakin more, if they didn't hold back in training him, and if they gave him the rank of Master after he defeated Count Dooku (which, let's be real, he deserved it for defeating an enemy that even the mighty Yoda can't beat) Anakin would have been loyal to the Council and would have chosen them over Palpatine any day. Also, Anakin having a child would be a boon to the Council, especially since you can then get a Jedi that has all of Anakin's power and none of his emotional baggage. If I were Yoda, I'd allow it, on the condition that he hands over his child for Jedi training.

[@barnowl012001]

I completely agree. A lack of trust towards someone would build up an emotional block towards the jedi council thus far not allowing them to read anakins true emotions. Not even Obi-Wan trusted him otherwise he would have given his full support to his padawns gifted skills

[@Britton_Thompson]

I'd always suspected it was because of the war. Not only is he the assumed Chosen One, the Jedi are also mired in a grueling, deadly war where creature comforts can be afforded during such trying times. There were more important things for the Jedi Council to worry about than monitoring one of their top Jedi to make sure he wasn't partaking in a scandalous love affair. Also, Anakin was the Jedi's star QB. Believe it or not, he'd also been living up to his potential and actually winning you Super Bowls every year the way he promised. Guys like him are hard to come by. If all it takes for him to remain motivated and loyal to the Republic is a loving relationship/marriage in a time when so much is at stake, and countless Jedi are being lost daily in a vicious war, then by all means... let him have his marriage. He's certainly done enough to merit such a pleasure in an otherwise trying time.

[@eds1942]

Rules need to apply to everyone evenly, because everyone believes that they should be an exception. Excluding Obi-Wan, the few on the Council that knew enough about the relationship (like Mace) reasoned it aside since “If he is the Chosen One, then he will choose the right path” rather than Anakin allowing himself get too caught up in the relationship.

its kind of hard to help someone with their emotional issues when you've been taught your whole life to not have them and get punished for having any. my guess is they didn't understand what he was going through, only that he shouldn't be going through it since he's a jedi. usually any guidance they did offer anakin was very fundamental but nothing that could be applicable at least not to someone who has emotional ties to begin with. making him repress them instead and leadng to him acting out and being unable to deal with anything emotionally related in a rational way.

Another way they could’ve addressed this with Anakin could’ve just listen to his concerns. Doing something for the parents wellbeing for the prospected Jedi could’ve helped too.

@@eds1942 this. Also, there seemed to be a double standard with visions. During TCW, when Ahsoka foresaw Padme's death, Yoda encouraged her to explore them further. When Anakin had them, he was given a dismissive and almost condescending comment about dreams and then an, admittedly, well meaning lecture about death. In the first case, disaster could have been avoided had someone done a welfare check, but of course, some nobody from Tattoine wasn't worth the fuel. In the second, I think Yoda could have chosen his words more carefully. With Anakins mental state and his past experience, it almost sounds dismissive.

It’s a well known fact that Obi wan and Anakin had a very strong bond and were like brothers and obi wan like Anakin formed attachments to people such as Qui gon, Siri,Satine, Anakin and Padme . So Obi wan hid his knowledge of Anakins attachment to Padme. As for Yoda he ignored what was going on because he knew that if Anakin was kicked out of the order Obi wan would choose Anakin over the order because Anakin was the only person Obi wan truely cared about after Qui gon and Satine died.

[@cyqry]

2:25 I saw on another channel, think Star Wars Comics, that there's a scene where Obi-Wan manages to track down Anakin on Naboo by telling him that "every Padawan would know where to look for him during shore-leave". I think that every Jedi who knew Anakin well enough were aware of what was going on, but due to the close-knit nature of their Order and how many of the Masters had probably committed their own share of "sins" (Obi-Wan makes this pretty clear in his arc with Satine) they largely just ignored it and hoped he'd figure out why they had rules against it on his own. TL;DR Obi-Wan knew full-well what was going on and Anakin probably wouldn't have been as easily duped into falling by Palpatine if Obi-Wan had been as good a mentor in relationships as he had in the Force.

Love the vids👍

Congrats on 500K

Who was playing with the sound board?

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I feel sure that obiwan kept anakin’s secret because he knew from personal experience how anakin felt and what he was going through for the most part!

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

FIRST - I mean early! Yeh, at 11 hours. Thanks or the vid! Generation Snow looks Canadian. The Jedi Council? They thought Ani would continue to be obedient to them. Qui Gon was a listener, a nurturer, when he was gone, Ani lost a great chance to be moulder by him. Shaak Ti had those traits too, but she was not close to Ani. The others barely had a lick of such qualities in them. Plo Koon perhaps. Obi Wan tried his best as a big brother, but I think he was too dogmatic and insecure about being Ani’s Master - a great burden he sacrificed everything for, even being with his beloved Satine. Those scenes in TCW broke me. Because if Ani felt comfortable with Obi-Wan and Yoda to tell them and they were open enough to listen and be gentle - we probs would never have got Darth Vader. And Ani would raise Luke and Leia with Padme. I kept hoping in these scenes they’d talk and connect - but I know what happens next so I know they failed him here. The same Yoda and Obi-Wan also in a similar way failed Luke - lecturing him instead of telling him the truth and counselling him. He could have died trying to rescue Leia and Han.

He always had a shroud of darkness around him always did what they seen as good

[@evankurasu3190]

they never trusted him (Windu admitted to this, and it's proven by them never promoting him to master). They most likely just saw him as a potent ally in a sudden war the jedi found themselves in, and were willing to put up with a "potential problem" at least until the war blew over

[@juanpablomontalvo4715]

Evan Kurasu Aaaand that is exactly what fucked them over. Acting like assholes instead of teaching him, basically forcing an emotionally repressed manchild (remember jedi are trained from a young age to avoid emotion and anakin was “too old” to train) if they just let anakin be a master after killing Dooku, a villain that even yoda couldn’t defeat 1v1 aaaaaand fucking up Asokas trial so badly she quit when she was basically the only good thing anakin had in the order besides Obi-wan

[@calvinmatthews1527]

I hope the next series that takes place during the ST will highlight the past Jedi Order's mistakes more.

[@hermz8616]

Out of what i saw in the clone wars show, the council and yoda especially could sense that something was wrong throughout the war but could never pinpoint it. I think its all just showing the true power that sidious had since he was the mastermind of their downfall. So many questions might be answered on Friday when the new episode comes out

7:55 not sure if you mentioned the deception arc and the Yoda in infirmary scene with Anakin in this video, good job thou😃👍

[@ReykuTheDefiler]

Where the hell is everyone at these views are to low !!!!

[@mose717]

Are you using the Force during this video? Because with the blast shied down you can't see anything.

[@Lightforeverandever]

Ok listen it is important to control NEGATIVE emotions but for me thats as far as it goes. Yes without attachments youre more focused and less worried but the human nature is to attach no matter how introverted you are.

[@dreadkalibur1613]

In the novel, he does know. However he pretends he doesn't since it makes Anakin happy, to safeguard him from the rest of the Council and he cares for him like a brother. Perhaps in canon, this is carried over? That's how I'd like to think of it as in my opinion.

[@eds1942]

In AotC, it was made clear that Obi-Wan was concerned about the decision to assign Anakin with Padma because of their feelings for each other in a scene that I was surprised to find out got deleted because I swear that I saw it in the theatrical release.

[@marcusblackwell2372]

So Obi-Wan was the only one who actually *really* cared about Anakin besides Padme?

[@XavierSJ]

1:44 did any one notice how the mouse was flying everywhere?

[@coleonyxswitaki1272]

Can't let him go after you have trained him, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Classic Palpatine move.

[@rawtheran9319]

Alan I can confirm from the Revenge of the Sith Adult Novelization that Obi-Wan did indeed know that Anakin and Padme had a relationship. He reveals this when he goes to ask her about his whereabouts and he tells her that she doesn't need to pretend with him and he had known about their relationship for years but decided to look the other way because he knew that she made Anakin happy.

[@gavinbacholl5278]

I think that the Jedi really wanted to believe that Anakin was the one to bring balance to the force. So for that reason they did not kick him out in case he did bring balance. Also, are you still making a Republic VS Earth video because I would really like to see that.

[@eds1942]

Yeah, they trusted Qui-Gon’s judgement enough to give Anakin the benefit of doubt.

[@aaronmonke6825]

I'm glad someone brought this too light, Obi Won prolly knew before the clone wars started

[@zacharygrosser4115]

might have to check out some of those shredding videos😏❄️

[@cttommy73]

The reason Anakin fell to the dark side is because the Jedi order basically told him stfu and just get over his problems rather then actually help him and guide him. I know people say that Anakin is too whiny and he just too privilege but that is just dumb. Just like in real life, ignoring a problem doesn't just make it magically go away. The order had just become too complacent and arrogant and just didn't care to do anything until it became too late. Even Yoda and Obi-Wan(later in his life) understood it. P.S. Also, to the people saying that Anankin needed to earn the Jedi trust rather then be expected to be given it, I would like to point out that it goes both way. Thinking that only one side needs to earn trust while the other side is owed trust is how blind believe is born. The order never earned Anakin's trust so they can't complain when he doesn't bother to trust them and instead fell in with Palpatine.

[@mechengr1731]

I thought about this earlier in the week: Anakin was too old for their normal training. The other kids his age had grown up together and trained together. They had all bought into the no attachments thing. This wasn't going to work for Anakin. So the jedi were left with 3 options: 1) Tell Obi Wan that training Anakin at the order wasn't feasible. That while he could learn ABOUT the force, training him to be a jedi was too dangerous with their current teachings. 2) Train Anakin, but make an adjusted curriculum for him until he settles in. Have regular counseling sessions with him and make sure he understands the difference between suppressing his emotions and actually controlling them. Focus on emotional healing before beginning force and lightsaber training. Then, let him progress at his own pace. If you feel he's going too quickly, EXPLAIN why you think he's going too quickly and then help him move on. Etc. 3) Take an emotionally traumatized child and force him to fall in line with the teachings of the Jedi Order. Unclear if they ever offered him counseling on his many issues. This method reads to me like hammering a square peg into a round hole. Then the square peg winds up completely breaking the object with the round hole in it.

Ki Adi Mundi out here PIMPIN with 5 wives AND 7 kids... The force is strong with this one!

[@zachschmitt3654]

Yeah the Jedi were pretty stuck, if Aniken was expelled 1 of 2 things would have happened. 1 he could just tell Padime he got kicked out so they leave and live happy. The other possibility is that he is mad at the Jedi for kicking him out so he tells Palpatine so he is able to turn him to the dark side sooner

[@larzo4462]

Could anyone else see a camera/recorder in the visors reflection, Looks like he is just talking to himself

We can't read your emotions, but we can see through your lens that you are holding your phone. :P

Can you start including the music used in the description of the video?

[@haseo1stform]

They DIDNT trust him. Leading to a self fulfilling proficy, they treated him like crap. Used him when it was beneficial to them and then wouldn't listen to him when it wasn't.

[@petermj1098]

They know Anikan acted reckless, disobeyed orders, and aggressive at times.
