"Your arrogance blinds you, Master Yoda" We gotta admit, Palps had a point.

You know you messed up when the villain is the one that calls you out on your arrogance.

[@clarity2199]

What's worst is even after he banished himself to Dagobah, he STILL learned nothing on everything that happened to him. He claimed Luke is too young, he warned him of his attachments to his friends. Those attachments is what made Luke the good person he was.

[@bigdoubleu117]

To be fair when he warned Luke about his attachments to his friends it was because he was untrained still and marched towards his death, which he was close to being captured or killed.

[@davonbenson4361]

I disagree. After his fall, he learned that the dark side must be suppressed, instead of denying its’s existence, just because you’re a Jedi.

[@AnonTDegenerate]

​@bigdoubleu117 on top of that it almost did end how he said. RoTJ was constantly bringing up if Luke had already or was going to fall to the dark side due to his friends.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah he did. He actually didn't want to train Luke until the force basically made it wanted him trained and it did when he choose to leave with Obi-Wan. His issues with Luke was he saw ALOT of Anakin in Luke and Anakin's attachments were what contributed massively to his fall. Even Luke wasn't immune to raging do to his attachments. Case and point when Vader threatened to tempt Leia he lost it and almost fell to the Dark Side. Yeah he stopped himself but still it was proven he was susceptible to the Dark Side because of his attachments. In both legends and canon Luke's similarities to Anakin did cause him some grief later in his life

[@tallaster-g7s]

@@digitaladventurer2142 I like how the Vulcan way of life in Star Trek proves Yodas view on atachments was wrong.

[@khamul64]

One thing about Yoda. This is kinda my head canon but hear me out. Grevious was in a way created by Jedi themselves. Context is the war Kalee waged with Huks. Grevious managed to pull his people together and push invaders back. Even laid siege to Huk homeworld only for Jedi to appear, swooosh with their blades and decide that Kalee were wrong for defending themselves against slavery and genocide. Kalee were requesting Republic help before but they were not a part of Galactic Republic - but Huk were part of the Republic. So essentialy Jedi left Kalee to be enslaved and killed and when they took arms and fought for their freedom Huk requested Jedi aid. And then Jedi appeared to help poor republic citizens. Kalee was put on a brink of destruction but Banking Clan Leader (high official) made a deal with Grevious - he will pay reparations owned by Kalee and supply planet with food if Grevious will become a general/enforcer for the banks. He agreed. But Huk were not done with Kalee and went for seconds. Grevious returned to his homeworld and prepared to deal with Huks once more. He gathered his warriors, embarked on a ship and blew up in a sabotage by Dooku. Jedi were blamed, Grevious was turned into a cyborg and we know the rest. Thing is. If wookieepedia is correct Kalee sentence was aroun 100BBY - during Yoda's time as the Grand Master of the Order. You will not convince me that he wasnt aware of what was going on with Grevious homeworld and the impact jedi had on how the conflict between Kalee and Huks ended. Keepers of peace. As one guy said to Count Dooku in Tales of the Jedi - "Jedi serve politicians, not people"

[@tallaster-g7s]

Don't forget the Jedi did nothing against the Hutt and Zygarians keeping slaves . Even though it went against republic laws. If they did Anakin would not have been a slave.

[@ShadowQuickpaw]

Yoda: You must, by deliberate inaction, allow your friends to suffer and die horrible deaths for the specific purpose of becoming strong enough to serve as Obi-Wan and I's personal revenge assassin against Vader (whom we haven't told you is actually your own father so you won't be conflicted) and the Emperor! Luke: So cause pain and suffering to others to make myself stronger? Isn't that the Darkside?

[@kooger888]

What is even more worse is that the clone wars show makes it even more obvious

[@jordancambridge4106]

The jedi who survived: Yoda the order is in shambles and we are need of your guidance. Yoda: All right I am going to head out. Byw.

[@TacticalGamingFool]

Child soldiers have been used in history so its not a crazy parallel, not that it makes Yoda a good person for doing it 😂

[@Seminooos]

It’s unreal that he was even the leader of the Jedi in the first place. Being really old and being more powerful and knowledgeable in the force more than everyone else does not automatically qualify you as being a good leader. He failed in literally every aspect of what a good leader should be. He didn’t deserve to be the grand master of the Jedi order.

[@rrgale55]

He definitely deserved to be the Grandmaster. He just shouldn't have remained the Grandmaster. There should have been term limits on the position. There is no growth if you're constantly reliving the past.

[@ElladanKenet]

The Jedi Order as a whole became corrupt, arrogant, and complacent. They became too preoccupied with serving and protecting the Republic, instead of doing what was ethically right. Not to say jedi didn't randomly do good deeds from time to time. Even Yoda. But they lost sight of what the real mission was: helping people. But it's not all the jedi's fault. The Sith were actively working to cloud the Force and prevent the jedi from seeing what was going on around them. It's not like the jedi were even aware that there was evil cloudy stuff around them making it hard for them to see; they saw nothing beyond what was plainly before them. The Dark Side was resurgent, and yet obscured from view. The jedi were essentially a family, blissfully living right next door to the Manson family, ignorant of what was going on and so consumed with their day-to-day life that they ignored what was right beside them. This is why the Sith wanted Qui Gon dead. Qui Gon was the last legitimately good and uncorrupted jedi, morally solid and in touch with the real needs of people. Unbothered by politics but INCREDIBLY skilled in them nonetheless. He had to be gotten rid of. And beyond that, Qui Gon was also probably the one jedi who could've successfully raised and trained Anakin to be the Jedi Chosen One. Anakin would've gotten the respect and nurturing he needed to properly mature and be free of Palpatine's influence.

[@tallaster-g7s]

To me the jedi were the ultimite cult. They only allowed babys to join. Then isolated from the whole galaxy. Controlled every aspect of their life. From what they read eat wore and what they even thought.

[@seancarter5828]

I think the cult aspect was because they became (were) a state religion. They weren't serving the force; they were serving the state, and what is beneficial for the state is what is good. So younglings weren't raised to be self-actualized individuals imbued with the force; they were just tools of the state.

[@misterk20002]

remember that episode of the clone wars called the gathering theres that youngling who is banging on the ice door did yoda move a muscle nah he is a total sociopath the boy could have frozen and starved to death

[@adamgoncalves1591]

Yoda is a damn sociopath for what he did to those poor younglings.

[@_Fulgur_]

The jedi order's problem is yoda. no being can wield that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. he has no idea that its overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. the jedi cannot help the slaves of tatooine but they can help the slavemasters. - Count Dooku

[@jeffersonian000]

You forget that the Jedi are slaves to their order, working without compensation, indoctrinated from childhood, stolen from their parents. What happens to a Jedi that gets rejected or voluntarily leaves the order? They are abandoned at best, hunted as a danger if they attempt to use their gifts. The Jedi order was always evil. People forget that the Sith are Jedi that broke away from the order due to philosophical schism.

[@tandava-089]

It was Yoda and Mace especially, but even aside from other critiques people like ki-adi-mundi were also not just bad people but terrible jedi... There was a few better people like Plo, but the majority of the council was honestly just bad people

[@teodoraslozoraitis7409]

Can we stop to consider how utterly vile the Jedi order's choice to use child soldiers is? In today's time such a practice is considered a literal war crime and guess what kind of organization employ this? Terrorist ones. in Asia. The Jedi order did't care to consider any tactial maneuverings or plans when sending Jedi to the battlefield; the Geonosis one is a perfect example. Their idea was: "Lets charge into battle bravelky with flair and vigor, that will work out." And that's nnot even mentioning the mental tone a fighting in a war; risking your life and seeinh comrades die would have on an adult; let alone a teenager Add the whole "Suppressing emotions to the point of no existence" bit and the flaws of the Jedi order are so palpable a blind person can see it from a mile away when you stop to think for a second. Barris' Officee bombing of the Jedi temple and her claim that the Jedi have become an army fighting for the Dark Side" completely valid.

[@rrgale55]

You are making a lot of valid points, and I agree with all of them. But let's take a step back and look at this through the lens of the Jedi. For 10,000+ years, the Jedi Order has existed and allied itself with the Republic. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi have maintained their training practices, including emotional suppression and recruitment. And for the entire length of time, the Jedi Order has prevailed. They've fought the Sith a thousand times, and they've beaten the Sith a thousand times. We're there some close calls? You bet!! But they always came out on top. And most of those wins were overwhelming wins over the Sith. THINK ABOUT THAT!! TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS ON TOP!! Ones gotta admit, "They must be doing something right!!" Now ask yourself, "Woud I be overconfident and complacent too in the same situation?" You're either lying or absolutely bat-sh!t crazy if you say no. A lot of people blame Yoda for the downfall of the Jedi Order because, well, it was his fault. But there's two things that aren't being talked about enough, and #2 will blow your mind. #1 Emotional suppression, training, and recruitment practices have existed since LONG BEFORE Yoda's time. #2 The Sith had finally cracked the code on how to defeat the Jedi. They were just better this time around. So let's give credit where credit is due.

[@jmwilliamsart]

@@rrgale55Your wrong about one thing though, the Jedi didn’t embrace emotional suppression and dogmatism until the Ruusan Reformation which was a millennia before the events of the prequel trilogy. Prior to the Ruusan Reformation the Jedi were far more adaptable, they even had families and encouraged emotional connection, and that worked well enough for them for over 9 millennia right up until the trauma of the New Sith Wars which lasted 1,000 years which was longer and more traumatic than the previous conflicts with the Sith.

[@xxProjectJxx]

Yoda: Love leads to the dark side, but using child soldiers doesn't.

[@Toshiro93]

In my opinion, Yoda was a great master for times of peace. While he tried to do the best he could when war loomed on the horizon, he couldn't have done otherwise as the game was rigged from the start by Sidious. The only alternative might have been for the entire order to retreat to the Outer Rim, but that would have virtually made the order's failure a reality. Yoda wasn't perfect, but he definitely wasn't the worst grandmaster of the Jedi order. Ah, I'm not bringing TLJ's Yoda into the mix, because I don't consider the Disney trilogy to be canonical.

[@JaredHight-g4e]

1:54 duku wasn’t the first Jedi to quite the order though, in the books there were 12 others before him, and of those 12 only 1 went dark (and one of those was from the bantam era before the prequels even existed). That dark Jedi was defeated on Dagoba by yoda. Also there’s Asoka and probably another dozen that have been added since. So it’s not a logical jump from duku leaves to being a Sith Lord, even in attack of the clones they insisted that assassination wasn’t in his character as everyone still thought he simply needed time after the death of quigon, who was killed by the first sith in 1000 years.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

To be fair Yoda did kind of take over at a bad time. Almost anyone would have probably made his mistakes. The Sith basically started manipulating the Jedi and Republic not long after Yoda joined the order so he was basically being subtly manipulated basically his entire career.

[@citizenVader]

Yeah well yoda wasn't exactly human, was he 😂

[@dragonlord498]

agreed yoda is the only grandmaster whose actions directly made up for a good portion of the fall of his own order nor did he seem to learn from his mistakes ether why luke only took relatively small amounts of his teachings when he founded his version of the order but also used the knowledge of tor era jedi more so then the clone wars knowledge he had learned from yoda along with just making changes to the flaws of the order also even the more combat oriented jedi often couldn't defend themselves for example their was a jedi guardian master and his padawn one of the martial groups within the order meant to defend the order and others couldn't even handle a normal level gang along with all the jedi that couldn't even handle small groups of b1s such as mentioned the first battle of geonosis and b1s are considered to be pretty much the worst combat droids/robots in all of scifi. also he didn;t allow to search their archives of knowledge for force powers to use against droids such as force ionize or similar stuff

[@dylanthomas385]

Guided is a strong word remember look only succeed because he cept disobeying yoda he would have failed if he listened to him

[@rrgale55]

Great video, OP!! But once again, i gotta call you out on some disinformation. Yoda knew Count Dooku was going to fall to the Dark Side all the back when Dooku was first brought to the Temple as a child. He even knew before Dooku officially became his apprentice. The Revelation was described in the novel "Dark Rendezvous." Quite honestly, it's one of the greatest Star Wars books I've ever read. In the book, Dooku is waiting for Yoda to arrive on Serrano to talk about surrendering to the Jedi. Yoda knows its a trap but goes anyway. As Dooku is reflecting on his training with Yoda, he recalls when Yoda tells him, "When fall you do, catch you i will." What makes this so profound is that after a lengthy conversation and philosophical bantering, Dooku realizes that Yoda knew this was a trap, yet he came anyway. He realizes that Yoda came to try to save him. As the conversation reaches its climax, Dooku receives an incoming transmission ping. The caller is none other than Darth Sidious and Yoda knows who the caller is as well. Yoda puts his hand on Count Dooku's shoulder and says, "More forgiveness will you find with your old master than with your new one. Come.... When fall you do, catch you i will." Its in that moment when Dooku realizes that Yoda didnt say "IF" but "WHEN." Meaning that Yoda always knew Dooku would fall to the Dark Side. And yet, Master Yoda trained him anyway because he believed that Dooku would make the right decision in the end.

[@jeffersonian000]

This just demonstrates how incompetent Yoda was. He should have taught Dooku ethics and given him responsibilities that tied Dooku to making ethical decisions. Instead, Yoda “knew he would fall”, trained him enough that he would be dangerous when he fell, and then he said “so, I told you”. Stupid writing, incompetent character.

[@Neoth40k]

All right Palpatine, we undertand that you hate the Jedi and everything that isn't you

[@magnawaves]

I really don't get why people in the real world ever refer to Yoda as "wise." He learned absolutely nothing from the fall of the jedi. He had almost a millennium to get his beliefs right and he still couldn't do it. Another person wrote how he still gatekept Luke from training, (chronologically later, in film order first) for the exact same reason he and the council turned away poor Anakin. And he knows what happened with Anakin! But he was gonna do it again! Wise my ass lmao

[@RoyalRipper548]

And even worse, he considered Anakin Skywalker very inclined to the dark side, when Yoda was the one who feared the most losing his preciois Jedi order and status quo having Anakin Skywalker with them. So, Anakin Skywalker's fear of losing attachement leads him to dark side, but Yoda's fear can't be leading him to the dark side. That's a double standard

[@Revan498]

The book "From a Certain Point of View" strongly implies age gatekeeping on dagobah (and his less than enthusiastic efforts to talk Luke out facing Vader when he stood 0% chance) was actually Yoda throwing a discreet temper tantrum over Kenobi sending him Luke instead of Leia, who was his first choice. FACPoV Yoda was convinced Luke was Anakin 2.0 before ever meeting him.

[@jordancambridge4106]

Allow me to give you some true advice. Asking for subscriptions does help you get subscribers. People are not morons and they know how to subscribe. You and all the other millions upon millions of channels ask the same thing of subscribe. Well in truth if people wanted to subscribe they will on their own but asking makes people think no I won't subscribe because you asked and every single other channel asks as well so out of principle of not wanting to be annoyed the refuse. Don't ask and people will subscribe on their own. About 96% of people get asked so much that they literally end up not subscribing because they don't like being harassed. You and 96% of streamers ask people to subscribe but the accounts that truly get subscribers never ask. Fun fact not asking causes people to actually not get annoyed. You spent the first several minutes of the episode preparing and then asking for subscriptions. Get rid of that bullshit and just start the episode immediately and also stopping during the talk of the episode to ask people to subscribe here is a fun fact that action will in fact cause people to unsubscribe. Imagine watching Dragon Ball Z and during a fight scene Goku turns to the camera and says "Sense you are watching why not pay me money so I can continue the fight." You would realistically be pissed. Well you just did that when asking for subscriptions. Also you claiming you like doing these episodes but you stop the episode to beg for subscriptions blatantly states you are not doing this for the love of making the stuff instead you are just a paid shill who does shit for the money only and the subject you are talking about gets you the best shill money you can get. Remove the requesting for subscriptions entirely and you will actually get subscribers. Its how all the big names get subscribers. They never ask people to subscribe and that is why people like their stuff and give them actual likes and subscribe to their channel. Asking pisses the fans off because they came to watch a show not get badgered again like every other moron does for shill views. Cut out the asking and boom subscribers will explode higher. Don't interrupt the episode and just release un interrupted episode and you will have shit tons more viewers. Back in the day I kept hearing KZbinrs state the same shit of subscribe and Cowbelly had 40 subscribers. He listened to my advice of not asking and within a year he has over 1 million subscriber and in 3 years he had over 1 billion subscribers. His channel died because he went woke and let his wife run his 28 channels and then he went completely broke. I think he got back up to about 20,000 subscribers but he will never return to his fame.

[@CriticalAnalysisHub]

Thanks for the feedback. I will take this into effect when I post the next video.

[@ThomasGeytenbeek]

…I’m going to counter you with two points. 1, is that you repeated the same point about five times more than you needed to in different words. 2, is that contrary to what you says as annoying as it can be, a ‘call to action’ like asking to subscribe is actually shown to significantly increase subscription. This is not because people don’t know how to subscribe, but because if they’re in the zone listening to videos while hanging out the washing, they’ll often not remember or consider liking or subscribing before auto play takes them to the next video. A call to action makes people think ‘oh, alright then, I enjoyed this video, might as well like it.’ This is backed up by quite a bit of data, and most people don’t really mind skipping ten seconds ahead or sitting through a quick request. …unlike your rather doubtful anecdote about how listening to your advice specifically, got a KZbinr to over a billion subscribers. TL:DR, call to actions work, and you need to make your arguments more succinct.
