To have balance, one must understand both sides of the force. To truly be complete.
This is a misunderstanding many fans have. I also thought that way before but I had to accept that this is not what George Lucas meant by "balance". The force itself is neither light nor dark. But the Jedi utilizing the light side of the force to preserve peace and life is exactly what is keeping balance since there is a symbiosis between the force and life as a whole. The Sith and other dark side users utilize the force in an unnatural way by bending it to their will and oftenly against peace and life. Therefore the Sith were always the cause of imbalance.
Of course that does not mean, that it cannot be helpful in the long run to study the dark side and aknowledge peoples weakness to fall for its power.
Bro, I never expected you to actually cover the OG jedi beginnings, you are tops among star wars people
Why not? He discusses tons of star wars topics.

Fr fr!!
This comment has the same kinda energy I remember having after seeing Empire at the cinema at age 10. Thusly I concur wholeheartedly. This dude is awesome!
Eeyup.
As long as someone tells the story of the Je''daii order, their ways will never be forgotten. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force.The Je'daii Code
Like this better then what is in the movies
I would much rather be Je'Daii than a Jedi or a Sith. I am so for maintaining a balance between light or dark. I always thought the Je'Daii were similar to Gray Jedi.
@@ChibaMitsurugi19792 same
As long as there is a remembrance, even if that takes a form perverted into one form or other (romanticized as greatness, or vilified into darkness), then there's an immortality.
The metaphysics of the Force are, at least in speculative debate, not unlike the magics/mysticism of Terra. Also, like the schism in that galaxy, belief based on duality of following only one of two paths has occurred based on dogmatic practices. Though, sometimes to have better understanding of the Light, one needs to perceive truth in the Darkness.
I could agree with that. There is no light without darkness, they’re two sides of the same coin.
Thanks, I knew from reading various Star War novels about how the original Jedaii used both Ashla and Bogan ( sorry if the sp. is wrong!). I remember reading that while they recognized a balance between the two sides, if one indulged in too much time only on the “dark side”;one was required to: go on a retreat to meditate and reawaken the balance, and that separation was necessary in order to harm others while rebalancing. The two sides of Jedi and Sith actually “got it wrong!“. That is why so many truly powerful Jedi fell to the dark side, because no one showed them how to integrate, carefully align, and keep in balance the power of Bogan with the righteous protection of Ashla. If the ancient Jedaii were right, then we really need stories just about ,them, as well as perhaps a new series of how future Jedi and Sith find their way back to a unified Jedaii Order!
The "Grey" Jedi were the ones who DID get it right; for TRUE balance, you HAVE to acknowledge and learn to harness both the light and the dark. I think Qui-Gon had this mind set
Spot on re: Qui-Gon :)
Exactly correct.
Facts 🙌
I agree that the grey are doing it right. You can not have light without darkness and you can not have the dark without light. You can not have right without wrong and goodness without evil. To deny one and pretend you are only of that, is to lose sight of the other. Without knowledge of evil, how can you know if you are actually committing evil. So many people in history AND fiction do evil things, thinking they are doing good. A major example of this is Hitler. He actually believe he was doing something good for humanity, that he was on the side of god. He believed those that opposed him were evil. Yet no one else would claim that, even his supporters.
Well no because the Light Side is balance. The Dark is imbalance. There's not balance between being on a tightrope and being a red puddle on the floor. Light and dark is just a metaphor. Don't reason form metaphor it doesn't turn out well.
I agree with the Jedaii as they were closer to the bendu after the force wars the Jedi turned exclusively to Ashla but this seems to be out of fear of coming even close to the dark side in any way this caused the Imbalance that was Jedi and Sith that led to countless wars and the Jedi purges the fall of more than one Republic.
Following the end of the Empire and the final end of Sith the opportunity there was to return to the balance between the darkness and the light.
I concur
Yea I was hoping that's where the new star wars movies were going to go like Luke teaching a more neutral way of the force since he was able to pull the light back out of Darth Vadar.
@@tylermiller3120 I agree with this statement. As we know, the duality of the force was the entire premise of the whole of the Star Wars saga. It would've made sense to have Luke try and return the Jedi Order back to the neutrality of the Jedaii. Since he did have the ancient Order Tomes that he had read and memorized, you'd think that that duality between the light and dark would lead him back to the legendary planet where the Jedaii first began. In fact, this should be the premise of any future Star Wars movies going forward. At least the next trilogy anyway.
Seems apropos (almost like a sense of poetic justice) that fear, a thing the Jedi preach against so zealously, drove them to a division of dogma and style. Also, love the screen name, RedDwarfism :)
even more fun/twisted fact is that jedi are directly responsible for creating sith, when group of jedi tried to branch out and study "dark" techniques they were banished, founding order entirely based on dark side
When the final trilogy was announced, I was hoping that they were going to go down that line of story. It would have been interesting to show that the power of the Sith is from being outnumbered by the Jedi, and that the force seeks balance. It would have been very interesting to see that the Jedi had to return to the old ways to end the conflict and bring balance.
Same here. It seems like a story of finding balance between the light and the dark would be a much more interesting story than rehashing the redemption of another Vader-like character.
The ancient Sith had numbers comparable to the Jedi from various eras and produced some of the strongest Sith lords that have ever existed. The Sith's strength comes from the dark side being better at maiming, poisoning, and killing than the light side, not in having fewer members.
They kind of touched on it? When Ben was asking Rey to join him after they killed Snokes guards. Didn't Ben say forget the Jedi, forget the Sith? When they had that discussion I took it to mean there is only the force use as appropriate scenario dependent.
yes, i wanted this as well.
if you research the original story for E9,
you will find they were going in that direction after TLJ
unfortunately we got RoS instead...
Id love a story about how corucant became a city planet and how it went from the home of that galaxy's humans to every alien in the galaxy living there along with the invention of the light sabers
invention of lightsabers?...
on Coruscant?... surely not!
Now that would be a great origin movie. Although it would probably require 3 movies to tell the whole story.
I was thinking more of a series like the clone wars, 7 seasons and more spin offs after that to explain everything that wasn't
@@Keep1n1tFr0st1e I hope they do before WW3 happens soon!
@@Keep1n1tFr0st1e yes, a series, not a movie. that would be better. then you could make spin-off movies following a particular character.
This is true balance because neither the Jedi or the Sith are correct, the Je'daii are the true corrected choice here. While it is true that the whole Gray Jedi remained just as a concept, the ancient Je'daii Order is what can be truly considered as gray because they use both the light and the dark and also do not attach themselves to politics.
Indeed this is what caused the Imbalance that made the Dark side a more powerful threat and led to the Sith leaving the Jedaii path was a mistake and a costly one both for the order and the Galaxy.
This is why Legends makes more sense because after the Death of Darth Vader - ( Anikan Skywalker) balance is meant to have been restored in the books Luke returns the Jedi to the veiwpoint that there is no light or dark but only the force that Ashla and Bogan represent facets of the force and that both can be learned without giving into the dark completely or rejected all that the dark side can teach.
Knowing this was all uncanonized with Disney I was so excited when in Rogue One we finally hear the term "whills" and see an ancient tample on a planet named Jeddha! I thought - finally some clues to the new canon jedi order and this will be a great bread crumb laying so that future stories can explore the planet or go back in time and explain it's origins and mysteries and what happened? It got blown up, I was severely bummed by that... and also Jen and Ando dying, but mostly Jeddha lol
They were what we call grey Jedi. Finding balance in the force. They alchemy between the sword and crystal is bad ass.
I first heard of the Je'Daii through the book titled Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void following the Je'Daii Ranger Lenora Brock as she was tasked with stopping her brother from committing an act that could destroyed the Tython system.
Edit: I just noticed that autocorrect had changed Lenora to Laborer without my knowledge.
I think one of the best parts of your content is that despite being detailed and complete you leave enough out that reading the source materials is still enjoyable
I’d love to see a spin off of someone or a fringe group of jedii that practiced both sides come about in the cannon. I feel like they’d be super powerful
It could go either way. The combination could make them more powerful or the two sides could have a balancing effect on each other making spectacular abilities impossible. Incorporating both would seem to be represented by anyone trained in the light and descending into the dark which would mean the force user would be most powerful when in the middle of the transition. Since none of the dark Jedi were more powerful than the emperor (while transitioning from light to dark) that wouldn't seem to be the case. So, for the mix to be powerful there would have to be some conscious blend. If that made them more powerful then there's no reason why someone would choose only one path and lose power and affinity with the force. Maybe there's a side-effect that isn't particularly pleasant. Then you'd have a motivation to leave this powerful state and move toward the absolutes of light and dark.
Dearth revan is a good example, he practiced both and is considered one of the strongest force users ever
@@joshuagodinez5867 That's how video games work, not other works of fiction. The writer could make them have whatever power they wanted, there's no canon rules saying its impossible.
There is no darkness just light. And lack of light. Do not be afraid of the dark. Stand in your light so nothing can affect you. Let go of the fear. If you are afraid of the dark, you are easily affected by it. Do not be afraid to feel it is just emotions that need to be out and cleared so you can take in more light.lov and light.
This is great thank you for putting this out there. Learned alot
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheStupendousWave it was there was so much to absorb that we don't know about the Jedi
@@dianesinger9729 English knowledge left this comment long ago...... idk what you were trying to say
@@hyofury5046 there's a lot more to be learned about the Jedi, alot more to absorb is what she was trying to say. I think she meant the je'daii. If so, I agee.
It's crazy that there's more Sith Lore than Jed'aii/Jedi. We always hear about archives having great knowledge and the members of older Jedi orders we know of vastly overpower some of the Jedi we are more familiar with. Imagine what lies beyond those
Awesome breakdown! Probably one of my favorites of the Mythos and Legends of The Force. MTFBWY Always!!!
Never ceases to amaze me at the depth of the starwars story...
Some of this I already had known, though was wise enough to understand there was more. For what I did not know & you brought forth, I thank you.
With over 30 millennia from the schism to the Battle of Yaven, speculation on what/how much of history would change if the split of the Je'daii that preceded the formation of the current Jedi & Sith. The balance is a hard keep belief/idea, being similar to the Yin/Yang of Tao Buddhism, & my ponderings on is that the schism was a trial. One in many that have happened.
If the schism did not happen at that point, there most likely would have been other times a similar event could cause an equivalency of separation. The many conflicts of ideas had many micro-schisms within the Jedi order (the break a way groups) and from outside (any conflicts/wars with other Forces based groups, even their former own), which I base my musings on.
Many of those conflicts/diversion between Force users this channel, and I thank you for bringing forth those as well.
While many view items/subject like this only as Legends, there still room for it to be Canonical History: as long as minds are open & no new facts (Canon) conflict with (at least in my head).
A Fair Deal of People: "Grey Jedi arent a thing!"
The Je'Daii Order: "Yeah....about that..."
They're not a thing. Je'daii has an entire lore and is great story telling, this whole Gray, because they don't follow the orders rules, don't agree with the counsel, or what ever crap people are making up, is just a cheap way to explain the complexity of each individual Jedi. You're either a Jedi or your not, you're either a Je'daii or you're not. Not that hard of a concept.
When people can't tell the difference between Legends vs Canon, and it shows
@@texas1872 that is true either one or the other
@@texas1872 Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
@@texas1872 also, the whole co cept of Ashla being the Light, Bogan being the Dark, and Bendu being the middle kinda proves you wrong.
And thats from Rebels, which is canon.
Now this information should be put into movie format. I'd love to see it multiple times.
Loved those old videos you did on the origins of the Jedi and Sith; this one was really cool, because it went a lot more in depth. Also, I think it’s cool how the Pyramids came to bring the Jedi’s ancestors on Tython; I wonder who or what created them, possibly even the living force. Interesting how the force saber drove the ancestors of the Jedi and Sith apart into what we know them as today.
The next set of movies need to pursue this history. Long overdue
Makes me think of baby grogu.
He has been known to use both sides of the force.
Untainted by the dogma of either side.
The child will not bring balance..... but a centre to the force
Without one, there can't be the other. Harmony is key.
I've always been interested in the division of the Jedi and Sith between their views on power... And I can add one thing... Each side has led to an imbalance in power. Light cannot exist without shadow. And a simple path to the prophecy that each side saw differently.
Jedi Ranger sounds so dope, it sounds like some spec ops type shit 😂
Actually this beginning would make for an awesome Disney+ series…
But where did the pyramid ships come from?
Sweet Pip-Boy @ 6:57
Awesome Vid and also Happy New Year! Everybody! 🎉🎊🥳🎆🎇
I think the Jedai did have it figured out, far better than their later offshoots - Jedi or Sith.
There can be no light without darkness, & no darkness without light.
I think the light and the dark sides are like waves that line up periodically, but have different frequencies, like a rolling shutter effect. when the waves line up for a while, force sensitives can practice both sides without succumbing to one side or the other. or something. sorry, I'm high af 🙇
So if the jadai are light and dark balanced and the Jedi are purely of the light then seems to me that palpatine was doing the will of the force to bring about the conditions in order for the chosen one to bring balance. Maybe the jadai have to return in order for the Jedi of the light to shine. Maybe the Jedi meet their demise because there were no jadai to provide balance and maybe anakin could be a physical manifestation of a jadai who wasn’t taught it’s ways which in turn caused him to be seduced into the dark.
You'd think in 36,000 years technology would evolve a bit more. But maybe the Force is so powerful it keeps everything grounded
Dawn of the Jedi is such a great book so sad the sequel will never get made.
Is it ever explained who sent the ships to all those worlds?
The Je'daii are my favourite. It's a shame the sequel trilogy didn't try to 'recreate' them.
I feel Qui Gon Gin was right there is no Completely dark or light. Balance is the nathural way of things. There are always going to be those that are more one than other. Nature (without man) always goes back to balance.
Why none of this era has been flushed out in cinema is beyond me...
like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do. "The way of no way." is best. But also don't let, "Way of no way," box you into utter lack of form to anything. Open mind, will power, use that which is useful, throw out which is useless, and create and keep what is from you." BALANCE!!
They need to make a series about the first people
I'm glad that people are starting to see the fake facade of the Jedi. We need a film about the Jedai. This is the story of the Jedai that I've been looking for. The division of the Force into light and dark at war is a deep misunderstanding of the Force of life and this misunderstanding has always restrained my enjoyment of Star Wars. Which comics discuss the Jedai?
Zen Buddhism is the way of the Jedai, not the Jedi. Here's an excerpt from a famous Zen verse:
Right in the middle of the light there is dark, don’t use the mutuality of darkness to meet it.
Right in the middle of the dark there is light; don’t use the mutuality of the light to see it.
Light and dark are mutual polarities, for example, like front and back steps."
I think it would be ironic if force-insensitive people, meaning almost everyone else, had the force in balance and that force sensitive people are by definition imbalanced.
@@joshuagodinez5867 Yes, there is bit of truth in what you say about the Force. It's not black and white, but it is true that the attempt to tinker with the Force creates as much disturbance and not when that attempt comes from our thoughts, and not from the Force itself.
This is reasoning form metaphor. The light side is not yang. The dark side is not yin. The light side is the five precepts the dark is the five hindrances. There's no balance between these two. The "balance" you're talking about is closer to the western consept of apatheia. A Stoic term that implys a freedom form the passions.
It's unfortunate that light and dark is the metaphor chosen, because it dose lead to this kind of confusion. However that is what George Lucas had in mind when creating the universe.
@@myself2noone This is a good point about what the Buddha taught. Sadly, people who hear "light" and "dark" translate that without reference to the Buddha Way. However, you are still wrong about there being "no balance" between wrong-doing and dortiing-good when stated in as absolute dichotomy. The Middle Way and the Eight-fold path are defined by balance. Smrti means to be aligned in balance.
To understand balance, you have to understand that light and dark were meant to coexist, like sides of a coin
"Oh, shit, I stopped that superweapon from destroying a planet! Well, better go commit a genocide to restore balance!" - you, probably. Literally the entire reason the Je'daii fractured and the Force Wars happened was the fact that their "balanced" approach was bullshit.
The Je’daii had it right as long as there was no outside force influence. The moment something powerful but corrupting showed up they were destined to splinter
I remember reading about this awhile back and about the Je’daii and such wow never thought would hear this in youtube
The path of balance is never a path of stability. A man walking a tight-rope is balanced, yet always on the edge of falling.
Wow interesting to understanding the ashes of The original Jedi order and The Sith Order.
this is why i like mace windu style of fighting, it seems to me the coolest characters are the ones who can partake in both sides, starkiller is an example as well, kind of.
Must be legends cause this is different from what Disney wants us to know.
This completely different form what George Lucas wanted us to take away form the story too. So I can't really blame The Mouse for that.
I never knew any of this. Can this be an new movie saga please?!!
That's was a great video I really hope that you keep it up I love how u explain it all in depth so keep it up once again great video
Yet why the Je"daii did not rebuild afterward like the Jedi did through the eons ?
The High Republic would had been a great era for the return of Je"daii age
Presumably, when Bogan split from Ashla, it split the Force itself. Lucas didn’t really say much more about the era than that before he OK’d the EU writers at Dark Horse to develop that era.
A more practical explanation would start with being isolated in the Tython system and living on a world where each of your Order’s factions have to work in harmony with each other and nature to keep their world habitable or risk being exiled alone or going insane is one thing, while having a whole galaxy to explorer and keep the peace in where individuals or the different factions of your Order could just chose to break away and move off to their own far off corner of the galaxy if they decide that they no longer agree with the High Council is quite another.
The Je'dai did not see the aspects of the force through a lense of morality like the jedi do. The Je'dai did not assign moral evaluations to Ashla or Bogan; to them they were aspects of the living force and calling one of it evil and the other good made to them about much sense as calling tails on a coin good and heads evil. To the jedi on the other hand everything Ashla is good and everything Bogan is evil. Asking jedi to rebuild the je'dai amounts to asking them to find a balance with the most evil thing they can imgaine. They're not going to participate in such an endeavour. On top of that: Because je'dai seek to integrate the dark side into their force usage, jedi would probably consider them dark-side users that are dangerous and try to eradicate them "to protect the galaxy from the dark side".
After the various wars between different incarnations of Sith Empire and Galactic Republic the general public seems to have the same good-vs-evil view on the Force the jedi have. They, too would probably see je'dai who use both the light and the dark side as a threat. Even if the galaxy wouldn't outright attack a reformed je'dai order, that order's reputation in the general population would make it nigh impossible for them to recruit new members.
Imagine an open world game set in this world, you’re free to choose between light and dark. It will be a force enabled skyrim
Too much is like not enough,.
PS :
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Ty for sharing ur lov for star wars i have grown as a gray jedi cause of ur shared language 😂
Is it just me or does everyone else want this as a movie or show the birth of the light and the dark grey Jedi and how it all came to be
In Rogue 1, the planet in the beginning of the movie was Jeddah. They suggested heavily this was a Jedi holy place...was it not a place of their origin?!
I think thats the new Canon birthplace of the jedi not sure though
I wonder that myself.
Does the description of the force-infused durasteel blades sound a lot like what we saw with the Blade of Talzin, as it appeared in Ahsoka?
Ashla, Bogan, The Light & The Dark. They are The Force. We can not have one, without the other. We either have it all, or we have none of it. May The Force serve you well. Or at the very least, be with you.
“Only a Sith deals in absolutes”. The Jedi do the same extreme on the opposite side. Both are wrong
The Grey path got it right. Yin/Yang
Embrace all sides & learn self control
But who builded the pyramid ships?
The Je’Dai order has it right from the jump
I wear long sleeve shirts under short sleeve shirts under long sleeve shirts.
Should they have stayed the same...
C'mon, there was Thirty Thousand years of events and reasons they changed, and eventually settled into the dogmatic order we see in the prequels. Should they have changed? Absolutely... now, did they change in the right way(s), and or the right ways for the situations that presented themselves...? That is a different (and much more nuanced) question.
I think they should make a trilogy about it.
Was always Intresting to see the foundings in the first mission of one of the SWTOR Stories. The founding of the Jedi were explained and who it actually was.
The Jedi were so blinded by their own dogma that all their talk of bringing "balance" to the force could never be accomplished unless they accepted that Dark and Light are simply 2 sides of the same coin, and that you cannot have one without the other. The Grey Jedi have it right. You must know both the Light AND the Dark to truly be able to balance the force. The Je'dai were right.
We have no way of saying how things would have happened threw out star wars lore. Like in real life, everything that happens in star wars is suppose to happen, and have meanings, no matter which way it was. Is why I love stories like this, much like Naruto, everything comes in full circle and they're all intertwined in some way. Like Murphys law... what can happen, will happen. This is why, if the story teller is great, we can have amazing stories like star wars or Naruto and we will be captivated by how the story plays out
Except that's not how literally anything works. Works of fiction can be changed at a moments notice by their owners, so we can theorize all we want about how the future would change in-universe because it's not set in stone. All of Legends got erased and is being rewritten despite at one point it being "what was supposed to happen." All imagination ceases and the human species loses any reason to continue living if we just stop imaging. At that point we may as well create robots and all kill ourselves.
That aside, fate isn't real, you know that, right? Like I could just decide to burn someone's house down for absolutely no reason, or I could not, and that's just a choice I made, it isn't written in stone somewhere, you're aware of that right? Fate is something we made up to make all the bad shit feel like it wasn't pointless, like needless deaths of innocent people aren't as bad as they seem because it's all supposed to happen this way. I'll put it to you this way, there's a saying I hold near and dear to my heart for occasions in which magical plans or inevitable fate is brought up, "Any plan that involves children dying of cancer isn't a plan worth following." There's no plan, my man, there's only chaos until you die and get to stop being chaosed at.
"Laytices". Lolololololol. This dude has a very solid 8th grade reading level.

So, what separates the dark and light? Why can't Jedi dwelve within both like they used to?
Great Job!
Wow that's amazing
You got to go with the balance the OG's knew they said you can't have one without the other
Imma be honest. I spent the entirety of this video trying to find out how you say Jedi and Je-Di😂
Jedi, Je’daii
Happy New Year 🎉🎊
That was pure awesomeness!
I can't wait until the pyramid ships here on earth do the same thing here.
I think a mix of both would have been good.
On the other hand, the Jedi order survived millennia, so it can't be that bad. It was more or less the Sith and a corrupt Republic which led to their fall.
Perhaps. My take on that is something different. I believe that the "modern" Jedi order was aware of the gaps and failings in their teachings, but were afraid of trying to re-integrate a more balanced course of study and approach to using the force because they feared that would cause a a lot of strife and turmoil, which would mean a lot of people being hurt in the long run. Imagine that the Force is like a pendulum blade, with the old ways of the Jed'Daii being the center point or balance, or neutral if you will. And the Jedi at one end and the Sith at the other, both extremes and opposing each other. When Anakin Skywalker came along and Qui Gon Gin felt he was perhaps the one spoken of in the legend, who would bring balance to the Force, the Jedi council said that he would NOT be trained. WHY would the council NOT want to allow balance to come to the Force? I think they knew that, the Jedi being such strong champions of Light, their current situation was not true Balance of the Force. They feared (rightly I believe) that any adjustment to bring balance would not just stop of itself in the middle, in the position of balance. It would normally swing towards the opposite end of the spectrum, towards the Sith, towards the Dark. This would ALSO be a position of imbalance, and then it would swing again toward the middle, going past it, and so on and so forth, until finally it would seek the Natural Balance between the Light and the Dark. I believe the Jedi Council knew this, and feared the chaos and destruction that seeking "balance" to the Force would bring for their order as well as for the Republic and the greater galaxy at large. The Jedi and the Sith both teach an "extremist dogma" if you will. Neither is a balanced approach to the Force. While many might say that more good can be done from a more light-sided approach, I think this may be an over simplification. The Dark side is just as powerful and seductive as the Light side. The Light side, when too strong, can lead to stagnation, which in turn can lead to corruption and rot (Dark side influences). The Dark side is easy to over indulge in, because it gives power so easily and allows for misuse by selfish and evil people. However, most people instinctively seek a slightly conservative position in life, with many moderate points of view, and many "reasonable" progressive points. In essence, they mix both sides in moderation, and find their own balance. Too much Dark side leads to true evil, and abuses of power and people, which in turn encourages people to push back, to rebel against tyranny and oppression. So the extremes have their own pitfalls, their own checks and balances which encourage a self-limitation or a self-imposed balance.
Anyways, that was my take on why the council refused to allow Qui Gon Gin to train Anakin. They feared what the greater implications of the prophecy would be, and they could not envision a way to accomplish true balance without the chaos and destruction such a process would necessarily bring. And perhaps, they may have also selfishly desired to stay in power. Perhaps this was not recognized as selfish, but certainly I can see it was misguided. A balanced Force, without movement, would be in my humble opinion impossible to attain or maintain. Outside forces, and internal pressures, would cause small movements of the center or balance point. This is natural, the ebb and flow of LIFE. Seeking to follow or ride the center point, the balance point, is a difficult thing. Just look at our human world, our politics and personal relationships, and you will see the very same things. Even in nature things become unbalanced, and then something happens, something explodes or lets go, and then finally nature will correct itself and bring itself back to the middle, finding balance once again. It is always moving, adjusting, acting and reacting. Always seeking balance. And perhaps, never quite achieving it... but always seeking it, nevertheless.
Awesome
Not sure if this is canon history but if it is I think it’s an interesting take on the origins of Jedi n sith, though a bit..safe plot wise.
Considering the Thoyor (spelling?) kind of showed up and shepherded a bunch of force sensitives to a planet makes me wonder where THEY came from. But then again the random dark-side user crashing into their planet also brings up questions
Idk, I like it but the plot makes me want more scene to fill up the spaces. After creating my fan-fiction about the origins of both Jedi and sith I really would like to see a good, nicely paced story about the origins of the Jedi, centering around maybe one or two characters
Could be the Ones that sent it, maybe the Father specifically
the JeDaii order was from legend, not sure if it have been implemented in "cannon" yet, but they have done several of the ancient sit lords so they might bring this to cannon or a version that got some smal changes
very neat story how jedi began
MORE Lore Please
If the Jedi continued to adopt this mindset of balance, I'm not sure there would have been a chosen one. If there was still going to be a chosen one though, I believe that Anakin's destiny would be not to destroy the sith to bring balance, but to destroy both the sith and the Jedi leaving only the grey Jedi or those who properly balanced the force.
But who built the ships and who knew what they was for?
GO GO JEDI RANGERS!!!
You should probably mention that this is not canon but Legends, in canon the original jedi planet is Ahch-To. Tho I can understand the preference due to the "Rey saga" being thought of as shit by many 😅
BBY = Before Baby Yoda? 👀😂
Before the Battle of Yavin
Jedaii order used both light and dark side of the force and they were truly OP compared to the Jedi and sith .
The broader this universe gets, the more I wonder, how much of this is George Lucas and how much of it is everyone else just creating their own respective data? I find it hard to believe George came up with all this. Not just about the topic of this video, but overall. I hear countless stories of sith lords, jedi masters, apprentices, various battles and planets and species. This year, that year. Ships, weapons, fighting styles. I read somewhere that George mentioned in an interview that a lot of the stuff that's out there he doesn't know about or aren't from his universe. Basically he's only responsible for episodes 1-6, that's his universe. In addition to that he gave the okay to the clone wars by Filoni and a couple books. That's it. I like the overall lore but the more I watch or listen into the SWverse, its coming off like DC or Marvel where there's a bunch of people doing their own thing within the verse.
This is pretty explicitly against what George had in mind. There's an interview where he flat out says The dark side is imbalance, the light is the balance. This kind of story came form deepity about light not being able to exist without dark. In literal, but pointless, sense that's true, but in a more prefound sense it's completely wrong. We can in fact reduce suffering in the world that's kind of why Jedi exist. Light and dark is just a metaphor.
George Lucas just wanted space adventures with space wizards. Its evidenced by how he tells his stories vs the definitely more serious and intentional story telling of people that actually had something interesting to say about the universe.
Honestly I think George sucks. Like somebody else said, he wanted space wizards doing space adventure stuff and that's it. He created the universe but his creation is the most boring part of the Star Wars universe. The fans that expanded his universe had much more interesting stories to tell. Whether or not those stories should be considered canon is another debate, and now with Disney most of that stuff isn't canon at all, but at least they're interesting. I feel like George barely cares about his universe. Look at all other creators that put real work into their storytelling and universe. Mortal Kombat for example. The creators of MK put a lot into the history of their universe, past stories, etc. Some of their lore might be a little all over the place but they try.
George however didn't give a shit about that and forced the fans to do it for him.
@@DrownInLysergic He cares. And his movies to this day are still the best part of the franchise. Along with the Filoni stuff which does have George's blessing for the most part. But you have to keep in mind that 1: He sold it to Disney so he can't do much of anything now. And 2: He's not a writer. As in he's not an author. I think if he was more of an author like Tolkien or Rowling etc, the universe would be more consistent.
@@DrownInLysergic Yup
