The Jedi Code is a convoluted mess of prim and right warrior - monk rule . One look at them and they look to be the right way suit for the self - righteous and the sterile ( as in , light ) . They are also rather abbreviated and even opened to many interpretations , but the Jedi have them in in high spirits regard and all their actions are purportedly based on the Code .
Yes , we said " purportedly , " because no Jedi is perfect . One of their biggest misapprehension is disobey their own Jedi Code . In fact , base on their beliefs and tenets , some of them ( even the Jedi masters ) even act in a Sith - corresponding fashion at time , which is extremely unbecoming of them . All threeStar Warsfilm trilogies depict at least one prominent Jedi enacting their Sith tendency one means or another . Here are 10 of those tendency that should have had them kick out from the Jedi Order .
MACE WINDU’S ANGER AND FEAR
Mace Windu , as badass as he is , is no alien to the Dark Side of the Force . His scrap style , called Vaapad , is actually a modification of the forbidden Jedi fight style called Juyo . Juyo requires the madness and ire of the Jedi , which is why it ’s often invalidate . Hence , when Mace used Vaapad to defeat Sheev Palpatine in lightsaber fighting , he nearly won .
Then , instead of let Palpatine support trial for his crimes as is the Jedi direction , Mace wanted to represent jurist , panel , and executioner . When Anakin executed Count Dooku , it was a certain step on his way of darkness . Now , why would Mace be any unlike ? His anger and fear of Palpatine is quite obvious , killing him outright will only fuel his Sith tendencies .
THE ARROGANCE OF THE COUNCIL
If the Jedi Council had a Galactic Credit Standard for every time they acted all high and mighty , they would have enough to build another Jedi Temple that is n’t locate on top of a Sith shrine . That ’s how arrogant they are . Moreover , in multiple example in the original trilogy and the prequels , they were too cocksure .
They questioned Qui - Gon Jinn ’s study that there ’s a new Sith in town . Additionally , they were patronize towards Anakin . They were so comfortable up on their galactic " crapper " that they did n’t think the Sith could rise again and strike back . Such hubris did n’t fare so well for the Jedi Council , did it ? deplorably , they took the whole Jedi Order and the younglings with them .
YODA’S SELF-IMPOSED EXILE
Yoda , being the Jedi Grandmaster , had a Brobdingnagian part in the failing of the Jedi Order . One would think that he would endeavor to make amends while learning his lesson and recover in a muck - hole of a swamp planet , but no . No , he did n’t . He just hid for more or less two decades after develop his butt kick by the most meme - able Sith Lord ever .
Saving what ’s left of the Order , rescue the younglings , training more Jedi again ( correctly ) , assist the Wookies . Yoda did n’t do any of those . He just … became a bantam and senile version of Shrek in Dagobah , cowering in his own swampland . It not only seems selfish , but it ’s also illogical and quite embarrassing for a Jedi of Yoda ’s stature .
PUTTING LUKE ON TATOOINE
Another one of Yoda ’s " magnificent " ideas . allow ’s have one of the Skywalkers keep his surname and send him on the very same major planet that serve as the grim side anchor for his father because that ’s totally safe . It ’s not as if they do n’t want Luke to be exposed to the dour side of the Force first , proper ?
We can recall that the Jedi avoid any attachment to a family , because it can head to wrath , fear , and even Passion of Christ . So , why have Luke ( who they project to become a Jedi ) uncover to such conventionality of human beings ? Why not just have Obi - Wan resurrect and train him as soon as he could take the air and talk ?
OBI-WAN’S LIES TO LUKE
speak of Obi - Wan , even he is n’t a unadulterated Jedi ( despite have the moral and physical mellow priming ) . The very first moment he meets Luke , he lies to him . Then , Luke ask about his father and Obi - Wan lied … again . He could have just deflected or evaded the question , but since he and Yoda are out of cards against the Empire and the Sith , Obi - Wan just had to manipulate Luke into consider it was Darth Vader who obliterate his forefather .
Sure that ’s easier for the old and yen Obi - Wan to explain . He did n’t want to launch into the story of how he barbeque Luke ’s father . However , he could have spar Luke the embarrassing kin reunion and really let him decide what he want to do with his father . Not cool , Obi . Lying is the way of the Sith . That ’s how Palpatine managed to hide for so long under the Jedi radar .
DABBLING INTO POLITICS
The Jedi have no business having a paw in politics . After all , they ’re supposedly a religious organization , of peacekeepers to boot . asunder from that , they are powerful organism already , and desiring more power or control through political relation reeks of Sith . Still , that did n’t prevent the Jedi Council from play some political cloak and obelisk by using Anakin to espy on Palpatine .
Again , that did n’t end so well now , did it ? They basically give the Sith Lord what he desire . Prior to his involvement with Palpatine , Anakin has also had extremely political or even romantic " liaisons " with Padme Amidala , an accomplished senator . allow ’s not block : the Jedi declared themselves general of the Clone Wars believe that the Republic was on the right side of the Force . Oh well ; twice the pridefulness , double the fall .
QUI-GON JINN, THE RULE-BREAKER
While Qui - Gon Jinn can appear to be a base Jedi Master when equate to Mace Windu or even Yoda , he ’s actually quite a naughty son . Throughout his many missions with a youthful apprentice Obi - Wan in tow , Qui - Gon has make out corner many times ; he breaks the rules often and lie with how to play dirty . He even strain to cheat Watto using a Jedi mind trick , which awkwardly failed .
It ’s not just rules of galactic civilizations that Qui - Gonn go bad to follow . Even the Jedi Order and the Jedi Council has had problems with him in the past tense , since he kept fail to follow the Jedi Code and some of their small rule . Qui - Gon was one of the few people who could defy the Jedi Council and get away with it . Does that make him cool ? Sure . You know who else is cool ? The Sith .
ANAKIN AND HIS MOTHER
Alright , so Anakin alone could have fill this leaning with all his shameless flouting of the Jedi Code . However , some of his Sith tendencies were trigger by his bail with his mother . You ca n’t charge him , really . The two were slaves on Tatooine and his mother showed altruistic love when she let go of Anakin so he could have a better life .
This made their eventual reunification all the more tragic . The last time he ever see Shmi was at her decease at the hand of Sand - people . Such worked up incumbrance bit by bit took its toll on Anakin . He grew to hate the Jedi for want him to move on from his female parent ’s end as if she was never a part of his life history . While such an event gave giving birth to one of Anakin ’s Sith facades , it also exposed how flawed the Jedi Code can be .
ANAKIN AND PADME
His family relationship with Padme Amidala was Anakin ’s second biggest fault , which led to him fully becoming a Sith . It seems his mommy issues got the honorable of him and he essay someone to fill in that love gap– Obi was boring ; C3 - PO negotiation too much ; Jar Jar was , well , Jar Jar ; so that leaves only Padme . Unlike his fault with his mother , Anakin actually had a choice here and it ’s well-heeled to see the right action he should have take , based on the Jedi Code .
While he ’s not the first Jedi to shine in love , part of the blame also go to the Jedi Council for just watching lazily by as one of their treasure Jedi Knights espouse a senator . We ’re pretty certain that that kind of rule - breakage would have flummox Anakin expelled from the Jedi Order ; he would have become a Sith either way . It was a dumb move from the Council too ; who think it was a expert idea to turn the most emotional boy of the Jedi Order into a personal bodyguard for a beautiful queer ?
LUKE WANTED TO KILL BEN SOLO
Only the Sith deal in absolutes– Obi - Wan should have imparted those words to Luke ; he did it to Luke ’s father anyway . Had he done that , Luke plausibly would not have fall behind his principal and tried to kill his own nephew , Ben Solo . Not only did he fail to drink down Ben , but he also give nativity to Kylo Ren . Basically , Luke unmake all his hard work back in his youth , just because he venerate Ben ’s big world power .
For that deplorable deed alone , Luke does not merit to be called a Jedi , much less a Jedi master . In fact , we do n’t even cognize what to call him any more , given that he made one of the worst mistakes ever in the story of Jedi master copy . It would have been more acceptable if it was Luke who became the Sith . At least that way he could have fully embraced his lip service .
