Were the Jedi Really Good Guys?
มุมมอง 16K3 ปีที่แล้ว
For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. But were they really? In this video, we take a closer look at the actions of the Jedi Order and ask if they're really "good guys".

    My one thing about Boba Fett in RotJ to mention: He was just about to blow a hole in Luke's torso. If Han hadn't lucked into a good hit right then, the movie would have probably ended there.

    Star Wars has been ripped out of my ageing arms and handed over to fresh idiots that can’t immerse themselves in the fantasy it was meant to be. I’m an anti-royalist, but in the Senate I don’t have a fucking problem with Leia being a princess. I’m a pacifist, but on the plains of Hoth I want carnage. So now Star Wars is briskly being transformed from the timeless fairy tale it started as; the old school serials pastiche it once was, to a super-serious one-to-one reflection of our modern world. With a giant dose of post-modernism slabbed into the cracks this violation renders on what once had integrity. That’s apparently what the NEW audience wants. And the idiots in charge are of the same ilk. And no. Of course. No one is interested in anything new. They have to take something old and convert it. Change it. Destroy it. Leave it as it was. Continue it as it is meant to be. Or do something else. Go somewhere else. But I have no say in this anymore. New Lucasfilm and current fans couldn’t give a damn. 🖕

    I like your take on star wars but god I cringed everytime you tried to show the absurdity and the hypocrisy of the morals of this fictional word with what you thought were hyperbolic examples of the real world. Like cops not following "procedure" being something absurd in your example or "an ambassador of the US", the most evil and ruthless regime in the last centuries, doing something silly as threading with a handgun as an unethical thing in the same timeline the US being the only country that used nukes against its enemy. Clearly you are a good guy, and you are enthusiastic about the topics you like, but it may be a good call to do yourself the same questions you proposed for this fictional political body (the Jedi) to the actual, real life affecting political body that is the government of your country. The empire exists in real life, and it's not precisely branding a death star in the space, my friend.

    • @WhereinMedia
      @WhereinMedia 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying when I compared the actions of fictional peacekeepers to actual law enforcement. My intent wasn't to say "imagine if law enforcement ACTUALLY behaved like this", but rather to say "remember how you felt when you heard about law enforcement did [insert one of far too many horrible things]? That feeling shouldn't go away just because you think the Jedi are cool". The intent was to anchor the fictional bad practices of the Jedi to the actual bad practices of government to point out that having a lightsaber and a philosophical outlook doesn't makeup for an abusive use of power. Granted, it's been a while since I've watched back through this video, so that point may not have come across as clearly as I intended. However, at no point in making this video was I thinking "golly if only the Jedi behaved like the real life government."

    I agree with a lot of this video except for the points at the end comparing the Jedi to the likes of Walt and Frank Castle. Those two men did/do what they did/do because at their core they are narcissists looking for excuses to feel good. At least the Jedi want to do good.

    • @WhereinMedia
      @WhereinMedia 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Where is the line drawn between doing things for the sake of good and doing things to feel good? Is there a concrete point at which it turns over, or is it largely down to the manner in which these characters are presented to the audience? I agree that the Jedi began as an organization that was intended to do good, in the same way that Frank Castle and Walter White both set out to do good things (stop criminals and support his family, respectively). And just like with Frank and Walter, somewhere along the line the Jedi lost sight of the point. It's an old cliche, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions

    The weird thing about the Jedi's fighting tactics is that they really are the result of giving people with no experience leading troops or combat experience beyond the skirmish level the rank of general and throwing them into mass combat after millenia of peace. The big question is how much of that was deliberate in the movie of just a post hoc interpretation that proved to fit? Basically the entirety of the clone war was Palpatine reflecting about the weaknesses and flaws of the Jedi order and the Republic and finetuning his plans to exploit them.
