Too bad they ruined one of my fav watchers, Master Tholme. That guy had quite the life in the EU. Trained both Quinlan Vos AND Aayla Secura. Fought Count Dooku and narrowly survived their duel by cutting off his connection with the Force to play dead. Survived Order 66 before it was cool and managed to have a hot tree waifu, who would go on to become one of the founding members of the new Jedi Order during the Legacy Era. But no, Disney ditched all that in favour of killing him off screen with a throw away line. Seriously, duck Disney, Filoni, everyone there.
I actually really like this concept, cuz it helps kind of, bridge that gap where the Jedi were branded as traitors after the rise of the empire and the galaxy didn’t just immediately change their mind because I used to think the same where they are usually off world, on and off, like, when do they have time to connect to the people, and so there’s the answer, the Jedi watchmen. I’d love to see something related to this during the clone wars era.
Plo is a obvious choice. Ezra's background would have helped him be a good watcher i think. And Mara having spent so much time as Palps Hand wound have given her a unique perspective. And then Leia as well.
If the Clone Wars had not happened, then Anakin would have made a great Watchmen. That Would have made keeping his marriage a secret far easier. Plus, he would have been away from Sidious' reach. It's likely why it never happened.
Response in love for Star Wars lore: The tragedy of Qui-Gon Jin dying and not being able to give Anakin the grounding he needed... from that flows everything else! From a wisdom & patience perspective there's probably no better watchman than Qui-Gon. It's why he was sent to mediate between the Naboo and the Trade Federation.
When that original intro hits 👌💯. Stuff like this from Legends is always interesting to listen to. And I love that Jedi Path book in my collection. They have a lot of stuff that is intriguing, all the books from the series have stuff from Star Wars games too, which is neat.
I always thought this aspect of the Jedi Order should exist but I never knew that it actually did or that a book described it! This makes perfect sense for an order that in the galactic sense, was small but with Watchmen who oversaw a particular planet, system or perhaps even a small sector of space, could maintain peace, settle disputes or enforce local law - not unlike a sheriff or marshal of earth's old west. Thinking on certain Jedi that would fit, first one that came to mind was Quinlan Vos - his outgoing, friendly nature would be perfect for a Watchman role!
The fact that this book came out during the Disney era shows that they DO have the potential and KNOW how they can make good Star Wars if they only gave themselves the chance to write better and give fans the chance to be constructive critics, I have my own copy and honestly I love how it's made, when everything is translated to english you can actually see how every Jedi has a distinctive writing style that matches their actual personality, I love how Anakin's is somewhat childish but chaotic at the same time, it perfectly counterparts Obi-Wan's patiently elegant signature 🤭
Let’s go Theory so glad your back to your lore videos and I think the watch men are very interesting and Saturday is just a good day overall with both you and Stupendous dropping lore videos I’m for sure a happy camper
Man, i miss your lore vidoes i feel like a kid agian watching all your old lore again. Keep up the good vids man and you should do a what if about "What if Anakin was a watchman".
I agree at the time Obi-Wan became Anakin's Master he was still inexperienced, and wasn't really ready for that role. As for a watchmen I believe that Dooku would have been great in that role if things turned out differently.
Please don’t stop the lore videos! Absolutely love them and was why I fell in love with your channel. I’ll watch whatever you put out but absolutely love these videos the most!
When I started watching you around 2018 this content was what launched me into my Legends dive. Thanks theory, the lore content you made motivated me to explore more Star Wars when TLJ was breaking hearts.
This is what I wish the jedi were more like in ep 1 and spread around the galaxy just for ep 2 to be wrangled up as soldiers with their base to become coruscant.
I’m genuinely shocked I’ve never heard of these guys before! Had Star Wars been in better hands, this concept could’ve been an insanely cool idea for a show… 😢
These never show up in my feed. When I watched your video on how the viewership fell off a cliff I think that could be a major factor. They are simply not being promoted. I’m going through all that I missed. Thank you as always
Love the content video and theory videos man it’s what keeps us coming back we don’t care about politics and Disney haha. I think Mara Jade would have been a great watchwoman with her decisiveness and level headedness. I understand you like to keep the community up to date on what’s going on behind the scenes but the content and theory videos are we live for man it makes Starwars so fun!
It would be cool to see a movie/show that follows one specific Jedi Watchmen and their story on a planet or system. A story that is isolated from the rest of the galaxy and Jedi Order...
I absolutely love the Jedi Path book. Also the books based on the Rebellion, Bounty Hunters Guild, Sith & Empire. I have yet to grab a copy of the Smuggler book
I think you're right that Anakin has the right mindset for mediation and negotiation, I think he lacks it in the restlessness side. Even with Qui-Gon's tutelage I think Anakin would always have needed to jetset around the Galaxy. Staying in one place while there was a whole Galaxy's worth of problems to help with would have driven him up the wall.
Really love the concept of the Jedi Watchman, and the broader class of the Jedi Sentinel. I feel like I have to defend Mace Windu here, particularly given that you said Dooku would make a good Watchman (which I disagree with). I think too many people view Mace through the lens of The Clone Wars, which portrays him very differently to Star Wars Legends. In Legends, he is a wise leader, a skilled negotiator, and has deep empathy for those around him. His Master T'ra Saa described his greatest strength and weakness as his '[belief] that, given a true choice, people will choose the light.' Some Legends material that portrays Mace well are the Star Wars Jedi: Mace Windu comic (and the Republic comics in general) and of course Shatterpoint. Would be great to see a video from you someday maybe diving into Mace and how he is characterised in Legends vs TCW
@yoboijosiah Dooku had a deep rooted hatred towards classism prior to turning to the dark side. Even though that's righteous on the surface, he wouldn't be indifferent during situations where class played a factor because of that bias. Windu believed in strictly upholding the law.
I think the Obi Wan we see in A New Hope and Rebels would have been ideal. He seemed at peace with himself and others, was not judgemental (like in the prequels) and was stern when necessary.
Obi Wan did tye best he could. It was nice t his fault. I blame Palpatine, he manipulated an emotionally scarred and hurt child into being his puppet. Anakin wasn't entirely to blame for what happened, its easy to judge him but to him, slhis back was against the wall and his wife and child were in danger.
Need to read these stories. How much was Mace Windu’s fault hahaha! I dunno who would have made a good one, but Yoda and Obi Wan technically took that role in their solitary life either protecting Luke or waiting for Luke so he could be trained with both remaining masters.
These are the kinds of videos I’d like to see more of. This is what spurred me to subscribe. Great video!
Theory’s bald head should officially be apart of Star Wars cannon. Love you bro
Bauldarion
Not many guys manage to look cool with a bald head. Theory should flaunt it.
It already is. It's in the high republic
it's could be the Star Wars canonball
He’s from Balderaan
Another lore video!?!? Hell yeah man!
Loving your lore videos Theory!
It's been a while since we had a lore video on here

Crazy
Disney destroyed the true storyline.

I love your videos that explain the lore of Star Wars! May the Force be with you!
bro i rlly think kit fisto would have made a great watchman or plo koon both were super chill i wish they had a bigger part in the revenge of the sith
Plo was… since he discovered little soka
Man, I've missed these lore videos!
Rorschach's journal... October 12th, 1985... oh wait, wrong Watchmen.
Disney needs to pay attention and make this into. A series is all about the watchmen. Jedidi would be so fun if done right
lol keep dreaming bro….
Nicee I love these typa lore videos
Outstanding video Theory, what a ride you took us on for all these years.
Appreciate ya Theory.
Good to hear you getting back to Lore videos again theory, can't wait for more .
Finally the former intro have return after watching some older vids days ago
Loving the return to lore videos man!! Best Star Wars content on TH-cam 🥳
Let’s go Theory so glad your back to your lore videos and I think the watch men are very interesting and Saturday is just a good day overall with both you and Stupendous dropping lore videos I’m for sure a happy camper
Man, i miss your lore vidoes i feel like a kid agian watching all your old lore again. Keep up the good vids man and you should do a what if about "What if Anakin was a watchman".

The intro! Glad to have it back
Also more lore vids. Loving it
Please don’t stop the lore videos! Absolutely love them and was why I fell in love with your channel. I’ll watch whatever you put out but absolutely love these videos the most!
When I started watching you around 2018 this content was what launched me into my Legends dive. Thanks theory, the lore content you made motivated me to explore more Star Wars when TLJ was breaking hearts.
Dayum that intro. Its been awhile
I’ve always loved the look and mystique of temple guards I think a deeper dive would be cool. Your videos kick ass, keep up the amazing job.
I love that book. A great read. I also have the one for the Sith.
The old intro is back! Yes!
This is what I wish the jedi were more like in ep 1 and spread around the galaxy just for ep 2 to be wrangled up as soldiers with their base to become coruscant.
Love the lore videos! It's a refreshing break from the chaos that is Disney Star Wars. Plus there's always something new to learn which I love!
Looooooor is BACK ❤❤❤❤
I love this stuff Theory! Thanks for still doing lore vids even though the views are down. We all miss loving Star Wars and this helps feed that love.
I’m genuinely shocked I’ve never heard of these guys before! Had Star Wars been in better hands, this concept could’ve been an insanely cool idea for a show… 😢
One of the best videos yet IMO. Love what you do.
well borrowing a The Old Republic term, Darth Vader is the Sith Juggernaut. They can be consider a reflection of the Jedi Watchman
Now THESE are my favorite kind of videos. Thank you!
These never show up in my feed. When I watched your video on how the viewership fell off a cliff I think that could be a major factor. They are simply not being promoted. I’m going through all that I missed. Thank you as always
love story telling videos like this to play poe2 in the background ! especially when its jedi lure
Answering your question, honestly you said it best with Qui Gonn and dooku
Love the content video and theory videos man it’s what keeps us coming back we don’t care about politics and Disney haha. I think Mara Jade would have been a great watchwoman with her decisiveness and level headedness. I understand you like to keep the community up to date on what’s going on behind the scenes but the content and theory videos are we live for man it makes Starwars so fun!
Awesome video!
The background music is so good
This is so cool and a great story. I"m for sure buying that book. Well done Theory!
A better watchman Yoda would be.
So Jedi like Rael Aveross would be considered a Jedi Watchman.
Its good to have a watchman looking out for people’s well-being.
Ooo yay thank you ☺️ 👍great video
I mean, I feel like Quinlan Vos is the epitome. He literally was going deep cover on his missions. He was like a Jedi CIA agent.
Sounds like a movie about A watchman would be amazing 🤩
Cool lore, thank you!
Wonderful video Master Theory !!!! 😊
Thank you so much for this video Theory.
First! Love you theory happy holidays!
Topical reviews within SW! Loving it SWT!! Bring on the real SW!
It would be cool to see a movie/show that follows one specific Jedi Watchmen and their story on a planet or system. A story that is isolated from the rest of the galaxy and Jedi Order...
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
Every time you mention “Watchmen” it comes to my mind the Snyder movie
more lore please!
Oh theorys back back with the uploads yes sir
Feeling the lore stuff! 👏🏼👏🏼
I wonder if there’s Sith Watchmen as well.
Overall, great video and nice to see Theory go with a “Return of the Lore” approach
I absolutely love the Jedi Path book. Also the books based on the Rebellion, Bounty Hunters Guild, Sith & Empire. I have yet to grab a copy of the Smuggler book

Saying Dooku would make a better watchmen than Windu is crazy.
before he turned to the darkside yes he wouldve made a great one... after tho, thats debatable
@yoboijosiah Dooku had a deep rooted hatred towards classism prior to turning to the dark side. Even though that's righteous on the surface, he wouldn't be indifferent during situations where class played a factor because of that bias. Windu believed in strictly upholding the law.
I think he does. Before he turned dark.
I think Rael Averross from the book Star Wars Master & Apprentice would be another good example.
I think it’d be interesting to see this role in live action. 🧐
Dude where are you getting these clips from? They are so crispy and nice
I wonder if there was a Jedi Watchman on Naboo? I could imagine Anakin being one if he decide to settle down.
Sick intro. Also so happy to be back to the LORE!!!! LFG
Lore vids are the best!
Anakin could’ve had the perfect life. Being a watchman of Naboo living there with Padme , Luke, and Leia.
I think the Obi Wan we see in A New Hope and Rebels would have been ideal. He seemed at peace with himself and others, was not judgemental (like in the prequels) and was stern when necessary.
Ofc i love theory is bald its badass
I think obi wan would’ve been a good watchman but not as good as qui-gon
Quinlan Vos could have been a great detective .
Very 😎 cool. I wasn’t aware of the watchmen.
Dexter Jettster would be the best…can make a killer Omelette as well.
So was Depa Billaba considered a watchman in shatter point?
Finally lore videos again
I wonder if there’s a fanfic that has Anakin acting as the Watchman of Tatooine.
Those who make the most difference rarely receive the attention they deserve, but the best of them prefer it that way.
Obi Wan did tye best he could. It was nice t his fault. I blame Palpatine, he manipulated an emotionally scarred and hurt child into being his puppet. Anakin wasn't entirely to blame for what happened, its easy to judge him but to him, slhis back was against the wall and his wife and child were in danger.
I miss this content!!!
I missed this into!!!
Lore videos, lets goooooo!
THX Theory 💯
After listening to this, imagine a decision-based video game where you play as a Jedi watchman.
We need more lore content
Love the lore videos! Hope they make a comback
So are they still canon because their concept is really cool.
I would love a live action jedi watchman series.
Need to read these stories. How much was Mace Windu’s fault hahaha! I dunno who would have made a good one, but Yoda and Obi Wan technically took that role in their solitary life either protecting Luke or waiting for Luke so he could be trained with both remaining masters.
Without the war, an adult Anakin as Watchman of Tattooine could have done a lot of good.
Darth Tyranous
