the "Chosen One" prophecy is defined concretely. Though annoyingly, they do the one thing they really shouldn't have done. There's also "Master and Apprentice", the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan centric novel where the topic of Jedi prophecies is explored in some detail. The people of Bardotta, including the Queen, did not shy away from their emotions, but also did not let those emotions control them. In the line I quoted, he truly believes that the Jedi were blameless for what has become of the galaxy and Anakin, and he doesn't see that even if the galaxy is still out of balance, removing the Jedi Order from dominance was a necessary part of a shift towards true balance.Īs one last additional point, the people of Bardotta during the "Disappeared" arc of the Clone Wars were strongly implied to be representations of the Light side of the force, being peaceful and passively using the Force to see the future, rather than using it for power and violence. Obi-Wan, as good a man as he is, bought into this archaic definition of the light side of the Force, and as a result could not properly relate to Anakin and help him. Even if that is too bold a claim, one can't deny that they were interfering with matters and repressing that which they blindly feared, which led to their downfall. They are often overshadowed by the absolute evil that is Darth Sidious, but it's not an unfounded claim that they were power hungry and warmongering at the height of their power. The Jedi in the Prequel Era believed they were absolutely right and that the Force was balanced as long as they kept complete control. At the end of Episode VI, Luke certainly lets his fear of losing Leia cause him to lose control, but what brings him back isn't merely Jedi training it's seeing his father beneath that mask that keeps him reserved and in control. Kanan Jarrus clearly had attachments and emotions that weighed on him, but was still a powerful Jedi who could control himself. Ashoka Tano left the Jedi Order, but still fought on the side of peace and justice, expressing herself and embodying the mission of the Jedi while acknowledging their faults. Anakin is forbidden from having attachments to his mother and to Padme, and being forced to constantly bury his feelings leads to that repressed anger causing him to have a moment of weakness.Ĭontrast the post-Clone Wars Jedi/Light side force users. The Prequels, to me, display not only Sidious's plan to plunge the galaxy into darkness, but show how the Jedi Order is fundamentally flawed in the Republic Era, seeking to purge its members of emotion when the Council is guided throughout the Clone Wars by fear. That's not to say he wasn't correct - what Anakin felt and did wasn't the Jedi way at all, but it didn't mean that it was wrong. He was emotionally unavailable for the parts of Anakin's life that brought him the greatest pain, insisting simply it was 'not the Jedi way' (even if he was better about it than other Jedi masters). Obi-Wan was a good man, but he was inhibited and caused problems through the mindset of the Jedi Order. Honestly, while I have seen the meme about the "two Jedi, two Sith" aspect of this, I think on a serious note that this line shows how Obi-Wan embodies the Jedi mindset - completely unaware of their own hypocrisy. ||| Join our Discord! ||| Question?
