MrBLexify Yes and no. The Seperatists were a front. They had their own senate but thee senators weren’t truly in power. The corporations and the sith were the ones in power but the members didn’t all realize this, thinking that this would be a better, less corrupt version of the republic. Which is ironic because the corporations in charge of the CIS were the source of much of the corruption in the republic senate. So Alaric wasn’t right to leave for the separatists, he should have become a neutral system. He was tricked by Dooku even if he was the one to approach Dooku. The reason why he didn’t become neutral is that he feared republic interference and reprisals. To save his people he doomed them. Alaric was the wisest fool. He could’ve have been a neutral system but he chose instead to involve himself in galactic politics as he had always done, and to participate in the clone war, siding with a greater evil than the republic without realizing it.
@@thedirector1378 you so sure about that the Jedi have committed far worse or atrocities than the Sith ever did and also common knowledge of the Sith was practically unheard of to the mass populations of the Galaxy even if people knew of the Sith the common people would just think of it as another order of force-users the Jedi try to exterminate cuz as far as the common people would be concerned with the conflict between the Sith and the Jedi they would see as just one group trying to get rid of competition
Tyler Dunn Your argument is correct. But the first sentence is blatantly wrong. The republic has committed some war crimes, but very few, not the jedi. The jedi haven’t done anything awful in the clone wars. Unless you’re referring to the jedi thousands of years in the past, in legends. Those did commit some war crimes, but much fewer than the sith, I’d say 1 jedi war crime for 100 sith war crimes. And if we’re talking about legends, nobody actually remembers that for the same reason that they don’t remember the sith. The jedi have done nothing worse than the sith or the separatists.
@Wolf Alpha 900 you so sure about that Tiffany ways are actually quite better than the Jedi the Jedi are the biggest Hypocrites you can ever find in the Starwars universe and how exactly are the Sith thugs? In the Jedi would eliminate other Force groups. Even before the Clone Wars broke out they tried to exterminate the jensaarai another force-sensitive group that broke away from the main line Jedi Order and as far as the public were aware when the Jedi and Sith always fought as far as they were concerned it was the Jedi trying to eliminate competition and in the Star Wars Galaxy every major conflict that has happened within it is largely responsible by the Jedi. They indirectly made the Sith order by banishing members from their order during the second or third schism which inevitably led to the great hyperspace War and at the end of the great hyperspace War the Jedi try to exterminate the entire Sith species so there you have it right there the oso Pier & Noble Jedi taking part in plant level genocide against an entire race that was already defeated and I've said this before the Jedi are incredibly hypocritical and they're too stupid and blind to see it he'll they serve 8 fading and extraordinary corrupt government that should have been laid low thousands of years ago all they're doing is protecting a rotting carcass writhing with maggots within its belly The Dread I don't care about the common everyday people they are completely and utterly out of touch with the common masses let's take this for a small example if you were living on a planet within the Star Wars Galaxies would you really want bunch of out of touch monks to tell you how to live your life while they serve corrupt and greedy politicians and the Jedi are more than content to allow the Republic to exploit the mid and outer rim even during the last few years of the Dark Brotherhood under the Sith Lord kaan or however you say his damn name the texting order that Darth Bane was originally join in during that war do you want to know why so many people flocked to the banners of the Sith and always will people in the outer rim Works sick of the Republic exploiting them and given them nothing in return here's a prime example the planet of jabiim. The leader of the Nationalist elements on that plan that sided with the CIS stated when I plagued his planet the Jedi in the Republic did nothing when slavers and Pirates attacked is planet the Jedi ever public yet again did absolutely nothing it's only when they seceded and allowed the separatist to start using the mineral resources on the plant that the Jedi in Republic finally care not for the people you should understand the for the resources the Republic is sick indicate with corruption it had no right to exist it was dying Relic from an age long past. And the Jedi had no right to exist either every major problem has happened within the sores Universe has been directly caused by the Jedi they're the source of all its ills and strife
that is why they both extinct all thanks to yoda though the old jedis had so many fundamental issues and if you look back every major chaos occured due to their knee deep decisions of morality. ravel was right about mandolians,, jedis should have never showed any mercy to the banished jedis (which started all these sith overpowered people),, they should have let people let research on dark side,, most of all they let corruption go on although they knew what will happen worst of all they took part in the corruption as well they got politically manipulated so many times that it feels like the force made them super stupid each time their mercy came back haunting them. You can do good while understanding your enemies whereas the jedis of the old till yoda just fought and thought let people do what ever they do 'i believe' is the only solution thank god lukes jedi order was smarter XD
energiesoler That they were, Dooku and Grievous with a direct attack to apply pressure on the republic and Jedi, and Palpatine to cause corruption from within. Weird how people seem to ignore the fact that sith exist and are evil.
Isaac Thompson ,Idk but I think one of the reasons is that the sith were always in search for power and immortality(some),and for the Jedi they were a corruption of the force, so it’s basic at least my point of view is like a situation between the rebels and Empire. But yes Jedi did some shit like the sith genocide. I don’t really know much about Star Wars to be fair.
@Isaac Thompson They have mutually exclusive philosophies, if a sith is a real sith, he has to strive for the extemination of jedi, and if a jedi is a real jedi, he has to either turn or kill the sith he sees. It's just their way, for thousands of years. The original Order followed a balanced approach and studied both light and dark, but as soon as they split it was eternal war between the orders.
One thing that I appreciate about Yoda's friend was that he stuck with his beliefs. No matter how high the costs were and how much it affected his people and the galaxy. Also he never changed his mind once he made a decision.
Nightingale Wednesday Nightmare The only problem is that he should’ve been a neutral system instead. And I know why he didn’t become that. It’s because he wanted to make a positive change for his people not hide. And he feared republic reprisals and it’s corruption. Ironically, the CIS markets itself as less corrupt but it’s actually much more corrupt and evil, lead by the sith, a cabal of corporations and an evil droid general. So he stuck with his belief and that’s honourable, but he was still tricked by Dooku even if he was the one who chose to approach Dooku. He thought the separatists were better than the republic and if they were they would have sent troops to defend his planet. He was misinformed like so many others. A wise fool to the end.
Colby Boucher Which is what I meant by republic reprisals. And there probably wouldn’t be any reprisals if they were neutral, I don’t know of any neutral system that the republic invaded. His planet was invaded because he went straight to joining the CIS
@@marc-ericleblanc-seguin4514 The CIS Separatist Senate didn't actually know what happened on the battlefield, and plus, only the separatist war council was the corrupt body, and they essentially controlled the droid armies.
And to believe all the Republic's and Jedi's corruption was caused by non other than Palpatine for his own personal gain, he played the entire Galaxy like a DAMN FIDDLE. 😯
@@matthiuskoenig3378: Perhaps, but the Republic's corruption back in the Old Republic wasn't that bad, it was as reasonable as modern day America, until the Sith with their rule of two came, and escalated the corruption to extreme highs as seen through the whole prequel trilogy and Clone Wars.
@Robert Ortiz-Wilson they could of just held back though, some people join one side and do nothing but be "I'm part of this thing because...my reasons" and that's it
its not that he joined the separatists, he first just left, the republic attacks, he than joins the seperatists (i would do the same after i got attacked... the enemy of my enemy is my friend after all) than republic bombs civilian targets (the capital).
Yoda straight merked fools left & right his entire life.....don't be fooled by the Yoda speech...he's a mutherfuckin' killer! 1000 years = tons of murders!
This is a very intriguing story of the loss Yoda had to deal with individually. Other than the loss of his apprentice Dooku. It is something's we don't see of Yoda often. The fall of his friend ironically mirrors the fall of his previous apprentice. It must have been difficult and painful for Yoda to ultimately realise the path Alaric took was also similar to Dooku's path.
Hello There Grand Master Lore Master This was absolutely stunning. I've loved many stories from the original EU and I still regard many of them as canon for myself in my personal head canon. I especially love stories when we see examples of just how corrupt the Republic truly was at the time. This is probably one of the best I've ever seen and I'm proud to regard it as canon for myself. I always knew that Yoda and the rest of the Jedi were blind to how truly corrupt the Republic was and how it was beyond repair but to see him Yoda having to do something like this was just so intense. It simply baffles the mind to see how this heartbreaking moment in Yoda's life was not even enough to convince him to realise that the Republic was but a sham and nothing from what it used to be from the principles it was founded on. It also didn't even convince him to stop sending younglings and padawans into battle and become desperate to fight rather than use diplomacy first. I love King Alaric. I've never seen him before and already, I love his character. I love how he comes to understand the state of the Republic and how it had affected a member of his own family. Turning him into a corrupt politician. I also love his love for nature and plants. I juts shows that he has a purity of life and can see that in other beings as well. This, I believe is what helped him to realise the corruption in the Republic. Something that Yoda could never do until it was too late. Thanks for the great new video Grand Master Lore Master and may the Force be with you.
And people ask why Star Wars is going to shit !? It's because Disney still hasn't made a comic that comes close to this level of detail. I'm not gonna lie and take off my Legends Diehard helm for a second and say that I genuinely liked the Marvel Vader comics. But the only reason that is so, is because it could easily be integrated into Legends. Lord Mommin would make a great addition to the vague latter half history of the Sith during the New Sith Wars. But what I don't understand is how they can make their own wonky or disturbing tales and it's deemed believable and good while any of these casuals that date stray two pages deep in a Legends comic or novel immediately be like "That's so unrealistic" or "Wow, who made this, a 8 year old" ? It really pisses me off. All these stories coulda kept the franchise alive for decades to come because IMO, the amount of trilogies and animated/live actions shows they coulda produced was innumerable 😤😤😤
@@blackshogun272 Legends had it's fair of shit. Jedi prince? Legacy of the Force? Dark Nest? Karen Traviss's Work? There was a lot of shit and by the end the EU was on it's last legs. I like it but good god there was a lot of shit
this is just one reason I LOVE the prequel era. yes the OG had great story telling, but it was mostly black and white, most imperials were bad and most Rebels were good, Palpatine only had control of one side and so could not always counter the rebels. but in the Prequels, it was mostly grays. the Republic and Jedi were largely seen as the good guys and CIS and Sith as the bad guys, but we knew something almost none else in universe knew, Sidious was manipulating both sides. a few times things happened that he couldn't control, but you saw the strokes he made towards his ultimate goal, and knew that all the civilians, resources, clones, and Jedi that were wasted or died, all these thousands of heroic sacrifices and pointless deaths, were all leading to Sidious's rise to power as emperor, you watch the Clone Wars and read the stories and watch the movies, and you get moved by all these great moments of heroism and lies and manipulations, only to remember it was all for nothing. THAT is why I love the Prequels, George may not have been good enough to make his vision into a masterpiece, but he was good enough to captivate our imagination with these films, and told a story that if you look at it together you can see the brilliant strokes he was TRYING to make. and you realize he had a great vision, just didn't execute it well. but let's face it, we all love the prequels more then the shit fest that is the Last Jedi which doesn't connect with Ep 7 as a trilogy together and ruined the future stories of our favorite Scifi series.
Yoda best friend just had to be killed.......man this hit me in the feels I love the dynamic between these wise old man......not to mention they always kept war/politics out of their conversation when they reunited
This really shows how tragic Yoda's life was in some aspects. It can be lonely living so long when few beings & species' lifespans are comparable to yours. That can easily become an existential crisis. How many friends & students has Yoda outlived? Worse, he experienced that tearjerker moment (for audiences, that is) in *RotS* when generations of Jedi he'd trained were wiped out by Order 66. Imagine sensing the life forces of perhaps hundreds or more people you'd helped raise & mentor from all across the galaxy. You knew every one of these individuals, invested in them, believed in them. You saw all their potential and the good or bad they could bring to others. Now, imagine feeling an unfathomable heartache as you sense all those lives being snuffed out while you stand helpless. Even with centuries of power & knowledge, you can't save any of them. But this King was special, for he was one of the few who'd known Yoda long enough to understand him on a deeper level. They related to each other in ways only such ancient beings could. I suppose the only solace was that, in the end, Yoda entrusted everything to Luke before rejoining at least some old friends in The Force.
The new Disney star wars is just like fairy tale Disney movies it's made to be very black and white and very easily understandable so children can understand and the last movie was literally just fan service.
🅱ecause his bestfriend old elf king thranduil; has turned into a *traitor* The presentation of elven aliens on that comic was quite unsettling. Palpatine would love that planet
@Troy Goldberg actually there is no document that states its illegal to secede. the supreme court ruled that secession is legal through rebellion or with permission of other states (although it did not specify how many states must give permission). so legally if California rose up in arms, it would be illegal for the US army to interfere and force them to stay in the union. it would also be illegal for the US to interfere if Texas said it was ok for California to secede.
@@blades9937 That is debatable, then they should let the tribal/native/indeginous people secede too, which they consist most of arizona/new mexico, Dakota's and some parts of Montana
See, *these* are the types of stories I want to see portrayed more often. It shows that war and conflict is never one sided- that it's not purely black and white, evil and good.
This shows the weakness of Yoda. Although being possibly the wisest living being in the galaxy of his time, he was still ignorant due to a despisal of the Sith. That is why the Jedi have fallen, and that is why the empire succeeded too easily.
@@aliashfaque1746 The jedis lost their way. They were never meant to do politics for or against the republic. There role was to stay aside as observers, fighting the forces of the dark side wherever they are. Instead they became some kind of secret special force of the republic.
Its also why his padawan went to the dark side something that should be noted is dooku never had "sith" eyes because he was trying to take out palpatine dooku apparently saw the coming of the sith which is why he made a curved hilt
That’s the problem, they didn’t chose to just keep peace, they chose a side, they should have acted as negotiators and helpers, for example if a planet was being invaded and enslaved by the separatists or the republic that’s when they should step in
Depends on the general and the time. Some of The Old Republic generals became aware of the failings of the Jedi from their time in active duty. Ultimately, their teachings blind them to the insidious evil of the Sith every time, until it's too late. And when the sliver of Light triumphs over the established Dark, the lessons are lost or forgotten, and it all happens again. Only a handful of Sentients knew how to stop it, but didn't. They were generals.
David Sun To an extent you’re correct. However democracy also dictates that you submit to a majority, you cannot simply reject democracy once you have dissent with it. This was the justification of southern secession and nullification efforts prior to the civil war. Lmao I know this is Star Wars but it’s interesting to at least examine the real historical precedent.
@@trgjtk182 "This was the justification of southern secession," This is literally "Lost Cause" rhetoric, which any American historian knows is pure Southern historical revisionism (which, in fairness, was permitted by the US government as a means of nurturing favorable relations between the two halves). Moreover, democracy does not in-and-of itself suggest that you "submit to a majority," otherwise Tocqueville's caution as to the "tyranny of the majority," which the Founding Fathers drew from when drafting up plans for a new government, would have been disregarded as a given.
A great friendship ended in a tragic way indeed. One of the greatest regrets Yoda had to live with in his exile on Dagobah in the time of the Empire later on.
It already hurts losing people you've known for a few years. I can't even imagine what it must feel like to witness the death of somebody you've known for over 200 years, let alone at your own hands...
I’d say it was in self-defense. It’s the tragedy of war that friends might kill each other and that despite their friendship they understood their duties to their order and kingdom respectively .
the CIS literally wants nothing *but* seccession. If they can negotiate one seccession, just, let the CIS go and theres no problem. THe majority of the CIS doesnt even contribute heavily to the republic economy.
@Kaiser Well that is certainly a large part of it but there is more to it than that. If it wasnt for the intercession of the Sith, the Republic probably would have been forced to let the separatists go. The Jedi only got involved because they knew a Sith Lord was controlling the CIS, and both sides were radicalized by Dooku and Palpatines actions. They basically sabotaged any chance of a peaceful resolution at every turn, so while I'm not really pro republic, there is some context that must be considered.
Stories like this always paint things in a different light. I love the idea that the Jedi are so fixated on their own beliefs that they can be horribly wrong at the cost of life, friendship etc.
I really like how The Lore Master says in the title and makes an announcement in the beginning if it is legends or canon. Some others do it too but not a lot.
What's never made sense to me about the Clone Wars, is the that the Jedi never simply said to Palatine "A Republic is defined by the friendship and voluntary co-operation between its members. If we were to deny these systems the right to leave the Republic, this would cease to be a republic. It would become a dictatorship. And the Jedi do not support dictatorship".
It just wasn't the same. When I first started he was reviewing a bunch of comics which I mean sure he still does but it's not as much as he used to do, instead now he just does these unboxings and does what every other TH-camr does. I loved his channel because it was diverse it was different. Now it just feels like pandering. Now don't get me wrong I know he's been working on the Vader fan film and that takes money so I get his reasoning for it. And maybe there just hasn't been a lot of comics coming out for him to do, but as for right now I'm just tuned out.
this would make a wonderful what if scenario if Master Yoda actually joined his longtime best friend on with the Confederates ! How many of the Jedi Order would join him? Ruining the emperor's plans has well XP
The garden metaphor with each plant being close enough to be a part of, but far enough away to still prosper and not hinder the others is beautiful. If only we could be so...
The Seperatists were a front. They had their own senate but the senators weren’t truly in power.

He could’ve have been a neutral system but he chose instead to involve himself in galactic politics as he had always done, and to participate in the clone war, siding with a greater evil than the republic without realizing it. He should’ve been a neutral system instead of joining a rival state to the republic, but he didn’t because he wanted to make a positive change for his people instead of hiding. He feared republic corruption but was unaware that, ironically, the CIS that markets itself as a less corrupt alternative to the republic is actually much more corrupt and evil. So he stuck with his belief and that’s honourable, and he would’ve been right if the Confederacy of Independent Systems was honest and good, but he was instead tricked by Dooku like thousands more. He thought the separatists were better than the republic, but if they were then they would have sent troops to defend his planet. He was misinformed like so many others. But he did his best and stayed true to himself. It’s truly a tragedy.
"Neutrality was a joke. A world was only neutral so long as it held no value to the Republic or the Confederacy." - General Grievous. It shows that if it wasn't the republic bombing them, it'd be he CIS; they were doomed either way. Only thing they could really do was make a statement.
Seriously it must be really hard for yoda to stay happy when he has been through several life times and generations of horror and sadness. Yoda is easily my favorite grandmaster because of this
Bringing emotionally compromised young people in a volatile political environment in the hopes that they will do the right thing, come to terms with their loss and emotions, and learn some lessons. Yoda was not a very wise man.
I mean it's basically what we've always done too. There's actually a really deep criticism of war as an institution in the show perhaps without realizing it. The Jedi effectively raise child soldiers Even with that aside we basically do to. The only thing separating an 18 year old legal adult in a conflict from a 15 year old illegally enlisted (both these scenarios existed in both world wars) is nothing more than a legal distinction. The maturity level of both groups is so similar there might as well be no distinction. And I suppose the last lesson life, the show, and just about all media portraying or documenting war can teach us is that beyond the polished veneer of military glory on the grand scale there's nothing but a ruinous grotesque mockery of everything good. No one wins in war, you merely survive to linger on with the horror of what was lost to make it happen.
Almost sounds like me & my best friend in School cuz our school nowdays always talk about politics & its commen, u can’t even come along with eachother always need to insult eachother belevies & i don’t like doing that
That was pretty sad. However I would’ve loved to have seen this as a part in one of the films or on clone wars. It’s rare to see Yoda like that or see his personal side.

They indirectly made the Sith order by banishing members from their order during the second or third schism which inevitably led to the great hyperspace War and at the end of the great hyperspace War the Jedi try to exterminate the entire Sith species so there you have it right there the oso Pier & Noble Jedi taking part in plant level genocide against an entire race that was already defeated and I've said this before the Jedi are incredibly hypocritical and they're too stupid and blind to see it he'll they serve 8 fading and extraordinary corrupt government that should have been laid low thousands of years ago all they're doing is protecting a rotting carcass writhing with maggots within its belly The Dread I don't care about the common everyday people they are completely and utterly out of touch with the common masses let's take this for a small example if you were living on a planet within the Star Wars Galaxies would you really want bunch of out of touch monks to tell you how to live your life while they serve corrupt and greedy politicians and the Jedi are more than content to allow the Republic to exploit the mid and outer rim even during the last few years of the Dark Brotherhood under the Sith Lord kaan or however you say his damn name the texting order that Darth Bane was originally join in during that war do you want to know why so many people flocked to the banners of the Sith and always will people in the outer rim Works sick of the Republic exploiting them and given them nothing in return here's a prime example the planet of jabiim.
The leader of the Nationalist elements on that plan that sided with the CIS stated when I plagued his planet the Jedi in the Republic did nothing when slavers and Pirates attacked is planet the Jedi ever public yet again did absolutely nothing it's only when they seceded and allowed the separatist to start using the mineral resources on the plant that the Jedi in Republic finally care not for the people you should understand the for the resources the Republic is sick indicate with corruption it had no right to exist it was dying Relic from an age long past. And the Jedi had no right to exist either every major problem has happened within the sores Universe has been directly caused by the Jedi they're the source of all its ills and strife
even Yoda's best friend sees the flaw in the Jedi and the republic more clearly than Yoda had
that is why they both extinct all thanks to yoda though the old jedis had so many fundamental issues and if you look back every major chaos occured due to their knee deep decisions of morality. ravel was right about mandolians,, jedis should have never showed any mercy to the banished jedis (which started all these sith overpowered people),, they should have let people let research on dark side,, most of all they let corruption go on although they knew what will happen worst of all they took part in the corruption as well they got politically manipulated so many times that it feels like the force made them super stupid each time their mercy came back haunting them. You can do good while understanding your enemies whereas the jedis of the old till yoda just fought and thought let people do what ever they do 'i believe' is the only solution thank god lukes jedi order was smarter XD
They both saw the flaws, shame Yoda could not predict the future.

to be fair, the Sith were running both sides in this conflict

That they were, Dooku and Grievous with a direct attack to apply pressure on the republic and Jedi, and Palpatine to cause corruption from within.
Weird how people seem to ignore the fact that sith exist and are evil.
MoJo Claw no one really cared about the sith because it wasnt a crime, only the jedi were bothered by them.
Isaac Thompson ,Idk but I think one of the reasons is that the sith were always in search for power and immortality(some),and for the Jedi they were a corruption of the force, so it’s basic at least my point of view is like a situation between the rebels and Empire.
But yes Jedi did some shit like the sith genocide.
I don’t really know much about Star Wars to be fair.
@@midgetman4626 The Sith were outlawed by the republic in the time before Darth Bane implemented the rule of two, so it technically was a crime.
@Isaac Thompson They have mutually exclusive philosophies, if a sith is a real sith, he has to strive for the extemination of jedi, and if a jedi is a real jedi, he has to either turn or kill the sith he sees. It's just their way, for thousands of years.
The original Order followed a balanced approach and studied both light and dark, but as soon as they split it was eternal war between the orders.

One thing that I appreciate about Yoda's friend was that he stuck with his beliefs. No matter how high the costs were and how much it affected his people and the galaxy. Also he never changed his mind once he made a decision.
Nightingale Wednesday Nightmare The only problem is that he should’ve been a neutral system instead. And I know why he didn’t become that. It’s because he wanted to make a positive change for his people not hide. And he feared republic reprisals and it’s corruption. Ironically, the CIS markets itself as less corrupt but it’s actually much more corrupt and evil, lead by the sith, a cabal of corporations and an evil droid general. So he stuck with his belief and that’s honourable, but he was still tricked by Dooku even if he was the one who chose to approach Dooku. He thought the separatists were better than the republic and if they were they would have sent troops to defend his planet. He was misinformed like so many others. A wise fool to the end.
Colby Boucher Which is what I meant by republic reprisals. And there probably wouldn’t be any reprisals if they were neutral, I don’t know of any neutral system that the republic invaded. His planet was invaded because he went straight to joining the CIS
@@marc-ericleblanc-seguin4514 The CIS Separatist Senate didn't actually know what happened on the battlefield, and plus, only the separatist war council was the corrupt body, and they essentially controlled the droid armies.

wasn't the republic showing corruption for hundreds of years before in the EU, and Palpatine was just taking advantage and escalating it.
@@matthiuskoenig3378: Perhaps, but the Republic's corruption back in the Old Republic wasn't that bad, it was as reasonable as modern day America, until the Sith with their rule of two came, and escalated the corruption to extreme highs as seen through the whole prequel trilogy and Clone Wars.

This is a very intriguing story of the loss Yoda had to deal with individually. Other than the loss of his apprentice Dooku. It is something's we don't see of Yoda often. The fall of his friend ironically mirrors the fall of his previous apprentice. It must have been difficult and painful for Yoda to ultimately realise the path Alaric took was also similar to Dooku's path.
Should've also clued him in on how fucky the Jedi and republics shit was
When the people closest to him started to turn against him he should have realized how fu¢king blind he'd been
Hello There Grand Master Lore Master
This was absolutely stunning. I've loved many stories from the original EU and I still regard many of them as canon for myself in my personal head canon. I especially love stories when we see examples of just how corrupt the Republic truly was at the time. This is probably one of the best I've ever seen and I'm proud to regard it as canon for myself. I always knew that Yoda and the rest of the Jedi were blind to how truly corrupt the Republic was and how it was beyond repair but to see him Yoda having to do something like this was just so intense. It simply baffles the mind to see how this heartbreaking moment in Yoda's life was not even enough to convince him to realise that the Republic was but a sham and nothing from what it used to be from the principles it was founded on. It also didn't even convince him to stop sending younglings and padawans into battle and become desperate to fight rather than use diplomacy first. I love King Alaric. I've never seen him before and already, I love his character. I love how he comes to understand the state of the Republic and how it had affected a member of his own family. Turning him into a corrupt politician. I also love his love for nature and plants. I juts shows that he has a purity of life and can see that in other beings as well. This, I believe is what helped him to realise the corruption in the Republic. Something that Yoda could never do until it was too late.
Thanks for the great new video Grand Master Lore Master and may the Force be with you.
Thanks for taking the time writing such a great comment! And happy to hear you enjoyed the video :D
Sabretron2 King Alaric wasn’t right either. Both him and Yoda were wrong.
And people ask why Star Wars is going to shit !? It's because Disney still hasn't made a comic that comes close to this level of detail. I'm not gonna lie and take off my Legends Diehard helm for a second and say that I genuinely liked the Marvel Vader comics. But the only reason that is so, is because it could easily be integrated into Legends. Lord Mommin would make a great addition to the vague latter half history of the Sith during the New Sith Wars. But what I don't understand is how they can make their own wonky or disturbing tales and it's deemed believable and good while any of these casuals that date stray two pages deep in a Legends comic or novel immediately be like "That's so unrealistic" or "Wow, who made this, a 8 year old" ? It really pisses me off. All these stories coulda kept the franchise alive for decades to come because IMO, the amount of trilogies and animated/live actions shows they coulda produced was innumerable 😤😤😤
@@blackshogun272 Legends had it's fair of shit. Jedi prince? Legacy of the Force? Dark Nest? Karen Traviss's Work? There was a lot of shit and by the end the EU was on it's last legs. I like it but good god there was a lot of shit
@@blackshogun272 Don't just throw around "Casuals". The EU had awful ass shit too.
this is just one reason I LOVE the prequel era. yes the OG had great story telling, but it was mostly black and white, most imperials were bad and most Rebels were good, Palpatine only had control of one side and so could not always counter the rebels. but in the Prequels, it was mostly grays. the Republic and Jedi were largely seen as the good guys and CIS and Sith as the bad guys, but we knew something almost none else in universe knew, Sidious was manipulating both sides. a few times things happened that he couldn't control, but you saw the strokes he made towards his ultimate goal, and knew that all the civilians, resources, clones, and Jedi that were wasted or died, all these thousands of heroic sacrifices and pointless deaths, were all leading to Sidious's rise to power as emperor, you watch the Clone Wars and read the stories and watch the movies, and you get moved by all these great moments of heroism and lies and manipulations, only to remember it was all for nothing. THAT is why I love the Prequels, George may not have been good enough to make his vision into a masterpiece, but he was good enough to captivate our imagination with these films, and told a story that if you look at it together you can see the brilliant strokes he was TRYING to make. and you realize he had a great vision, just didn't execute it well. but let's face it, we all love the prequels more then the shit fest that is the Last Jedi which doesn't connect with Ep 7 as a trilogy together and ruined the future stories of our favorite Scifi series.

This really shows how tragic Yoda's life was in some aspects. It can be lonely living so long when few beings & species' lifespans are comparable to yours. That can easily become an existential crisis.
How many friends & students has Yoda outlived? Worse, he experienced that tearjerker moment (for audiences, that is) in *RotS* when generations of Jedi he'd trained were wiped out by Order 66.
Imagine sensing the life forces of perhaps hundreds or more people you'd helped raise & mentor from all across the galaxy. You knew every one of these individuals, invested in them, believed in them.
You saw all their potential and the good or bad they could bring to others. Now, imagine feeling an unfathomable heartache as you sense all those lives being snuffed out while you stand helpless.
Even with centuries of power & knowledge, you can't save any of them. But this King was special, for he was one of the few who'd known Yoda long enough to understand him on a deeper level.
They related to each other in ways only such ancient beings could. I suppose the only solace was that, in the end, Yoda entrusted everything to Luke before rejoining at least some old friends in The Force.
This kind of story will never be seen again with Disney.

Absolute nonsense. Wishing to secede is not an act of treason. The Jedi and the Republic were all evil for not respecting the wishes of it's citizens.
@@DraculaCronqvist our world examples : lakota/native american tribes; california; confederate states...etc.
@Troy Goldberg actually there is no document that states its illegal to secede. the supreme court ruled that secession is legal through rebellion or with permission of other states (although it did not specify how many states must give permission).
so legally if California rose up in arms, it would be illegal for the US army to interfere and force them to stay in the union. it would also be illegal for the US to interfere if Texas said it was ok for California to secede.
DraculaCronqvist wait so America should have let the confederacy secede?
@@blades9937 That is debatable, then they should let the tribal/native/indeginous people secede too, which they consist most of arizona/new mexico, Dakota's and some parts of Montana
See, *these* are the types of stories I want to see portrayed more often. It shows that war and conflict is never one sided- that it's not purely black and white, evil and good.
This shows the weakness of Yoda. Although being possibly the wisest living being in the galaxy of his time, he was still ignorant due to a despisal of the Sith. That is why the Jedi have fallen, and that is why the empire succeeded too easily.

the jedis were always the cause of their own downfall XD
@@aliashfaque1746 The jedis lost their way. They were never meant to do politics for or against the republic. There role was to stay aside as observers, fighting the forces of the dark side wherever they are. Instead they became some kind of secret special force of the republic.

Its also why his padawan went to the dark side something that should be noted is dooku never had "sith" eyes because he was trying to take out palpatine dooku apparently saw the coming of the sith which is why he made a curved hilt
When Jedi became generals, they lost themselves entirely
That’s the problem, they didn’t chose to just keep peace, they chose a side, they should have acted as negotiators and helpers, for example if a planet was being invaded and enslaved by the separatists or the republic that’s when they should step in
I mean the Jedi were stuck 2 bad choices and if they didn't become generals you know that the public would be even quicker to turn on them.
Depends on the general and the time. Some of The Old Republic generals became aware of the failings of the Jedi from their time in active duty.
Ultimately, their teachings blind them to the insidious evil of the Sith every time, until it's too late. And when the sliver of Light triumphs over the established Dark, the lessons are lost or forgotten, and it all happens again.
Only a handful of Sentients knew how to stop it, but didn't. They were generals.
Jedi are meant to be fighters. Otherwise they all wouldn't have lightsabers and be trained in the ways of using force violently
Jedi should never take sides, neutrality
I like how the artist put their heart into making this comic and Disney is just like no
When the principle of democracy was not given as a free choice but was enforced through the might of strength, it is no longer a democracy.
David Sun To an extent you’re correct. However democracy also dictates that you submit to a majority, you cannot simply reject democracy once you have dissent with it. This was the justification of southern secession and nullification efforts prior to the civil war. Lmao I know this is Star Wars but it’s interesting to at least examine the real historical precedent.
*laughs in Vietnamese, Korean, Afghan, Syrian and probably half of the world*
@@trgjtk182 "This was the justification of southern secession," This is literally "Lost Cause" rhetoric, which any American historian knows is pure Southern historical revisionism (which, in fairness, was permitted by the US government as a means of nurturing favorable relations between the two halves). Moreover, democracy does not in-and-of itself suggest that you "submit to a majority," otherwise Tocqueville's caution as to the "tyranny of the majority," which the Founding Fathers drew from when drafting up plans for a new government, would have been disregarded as a given.
the secret is forming a Republic that controls the Democracy.

Yodas motto: dont let emotion cloud your judgement
Yoda: constantly lets emotion cloud his judgement

The Republic should have accepted the cecession and proposed neutral relations towards one another for the guarantee not to join the CIS.
the CIS literally wants nothing *but* seccession. If they can negotiate one seccession, just, let the CIS go and theres no problem. THe majority of the CIS doesnt even contribute heavily to the republic economy.
@Kaiser Well that is certainly a large part of it but there is more to it than that. If it wasnt for the intercession of the Sith, the Republic probably would have been forced to let the separatists go. The Jedi only got involved because they knew a Sith Lord was controlling the CIS, and both sides were radicalized by Dooku and Palpatines actions. They basically sabotaged any chance of a peaceful resolution at every turn, so while I'm not really pro republic, there is some context that must be considered.
Alaric means (Everyone's ruler) he was quite a powerful ruler. His name symbolizes his planets independence from the Republic
Love how even the padawan showcases the corruption theme going on everywhere in the end cursing Yoda over not killed the king when he had the chance
Crazy, I remember reading this exact comic when I was a kid. It was so long ago I had completely forgot about it.
Stories like this always paint things in a different light. I love the idea that the Jedi are so fixated on their own beliefs that they can be horribly wrong at the cost of life, friendship etc.
I really like how The Lore Master says in the title and makes an announcement in the beginning if it is legends or canon. Some others do it too but not a lot.
@Robert Ortiz-Wilson Yeah, sometimes in other videos I am like "Is this canon or legeneds?"
What's never made sense to me about the Clone Wars, is the that the Jedi never simply said to Palatine "A Republic is defined by the friendship and voluntary co-operation between its members. If we were to deny these systems the right to leave the Republic, this would cease to be a republic. It would become a dictatorship. And the Jedi do not support dictatorship".
god i love how all these lore videos are condensed into

This has to be one of the most heartbreaking stories in Star Wars I've ever heard.
The garden metaphor with each plant being close enough to be a part of, but far enough away to still prosper and not hinder the others is beautiful. If only we could be so...
The Seperatists were a front. They had their own senate but the senators weren’t truly in power. The corporations and the sith who controlled them were the ones in power, but the members didn’t all realize this, thinking that this would be a better, less corrupt version of the republic. Which is ironic because the corporations in charge of the CIS were the source of much of the corruption in the republic senate. So Alaric wasn’t right to leave for the separatists, he should have become a neutral system. He was tricked by Dooku even if he was the one to approach Dooku. The reason why he didn’t become neutral is that he feared republic interference and reprisals. To save his people he doomed them. Alaric was the wisest fool. He could’ve have been a neutral system but he chose instead to involve himself in galactic politics as he had always done, and to participate in the clone war, siding with a greater evil than the republic without realizing it. He should’ve been a neutral system instead of joining a rival state to the republic, but he didn’t because he wanted to make a positive change for his people instead of hiding. He feared republic corruption but was unaware that, ironically, the CIS that markets itself as a less corrupt alternative to the republic is actually much more corrupt and evil. So he stuck with his belief and that’s honourable, and he would’ve been right if the Confederacy of Independent Systems was honest and good, but he was instead tricked by Dooku like thousands more. He thought the separatists were better than the republic, but if they were then they would have sent troops to defend his planet. He was misinformed like so many others. But he did his best and stayed true to himself. It’s truly a tragedy.
"Neutrality was a joke. A world was only neutral so long as it held no value to the Republic or the Confederacy." - General Grievous.
It shows that if it wasn't the republic bombing them, it'd be he CIS; they were doomed either way. Only thing they could really do was make a statement.

king Alaric looks kind of like the father from the Clone Wars Mortis arc
Bringing emotionally compromised young people in a volatile political environment in the hopes that they will do the right thing, come to terms with their loss and emotions, and learn some lessons.
Yoda was not a very wise man.
I mean it's basically what we've always done too. There's actually a really deep criticism of war as an institution in the show perhaps without realizing it. The Jedi effectively raise child soldiers
Even with that aside we basically do to. The only thing separating an 18 year old legal adult in a conflict from a 15 year old illegally enlisted (both these scenarios existed in both world wars) is nothing more than a legal distinction. The maturity level of both groups is so similar there might as well be no distinction. And I suppose the last lesson life, the show, and just about all media portraying or documenting war can teach us is that beyond the polished veneer of military glory on the grand scale there's nothing but a ruinous grotesque mockery of everything good. No one wins in war, you merely survive to linger on with the horror of what was lost to make it happen.
