Warning : This clause contain minor raider forDooku : Jedi Lost
TheStar Warsstory begin with the ancient feud between Jedi and Sith , andThe cost increase of Skywalkerlooks to expose that the war has never ended . And the teller are determined to make fan realize that the getting even of the Sith wasYoda’sfault , more than anyone else in the galax .
That location of blame will be controversial for lover of theStar Warsprequels , since there are plenty of people to charge with aiding the rise of Emperor Palpatine , Lord of the Sith – the Senate , Anakin Skywalker , even the Dark Side of the Force . While the master plan devised bySheev Palpatine ( the real hero of Star Wars)relied on hundreds if not chiliad of galactic pawn and players , the raise of the Sith only happen because the Jedi allowed it . And eventually , theStar Warslore has been updated to impart no doubt who ’s most to blame .
For all his Wisdom of Solomon , Yoda did n’t just fail to sense the return of the Sith before the Jedi could cease it … he activelypreventedothers in his order from ascertain , preparing , and guard a Sith uprising they actually sensed was coming .
Some Jedi Knew The Sith Could Return
Controversial as it may be to suggest – no , confirmthat Yoda ’s cecity or arrogance allowed Darth Sidious to take over the galaxy ( enslaving and killing untold millions , perhaps billions ) , it ’s not actually us that is doing the confirming . TheStar Warsprequels do a beneficial enough job demonstrating Yoda ’s bankruptcy to see beyond the"clouded"future , allowing some to mull that blur the Jedi ’s senses could have been part ofDarth Sidious ' mastery of the Dark Side , allowing him to hatch his design in secret . But now that the time geological period leading up to the comer of Sheev Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker has been search , it ’s clear that not all Jedi were as fool or motionless as those on the Jedi Council .
The penetration come from the freshly released audiobookDooku : Jedi Lostwritten by Cavan Scott . The book secernate the tale ofCount Dooku ’s going from the Jedi Order , and paint a very unlike film of the Jedi prior to " The Chosen One " emerging . Especially when it comes to the Jedi Master Lene Kostana , whose knowledge in Sith artefact and history make her one of the most compelling penis of the Order for young Dooku . Most significantly , Lene admit that the Sith have gone missing for a thousand years … but knows that does n’t entail they ’re function for good .
So if high up - ranking Masters of the Jedi Order felt that the Sith were not nonextant , but perchance waiting to yield in force … why were n’t their voices learn in the prequels when they might have saved the galaxy ? childlike .
Yoda Stopped Jedi From Planning For The Sith
There have always been obvious drawbacks , contradiction , and flaws in the depiction of the Jedi in theStar Warsmovies and expanded universe . After all , the order demand Jedi turn off all ties to kinsperson , have sex 1 , and champion ( making it inherently difficult to call them the obvious ' sound guys ' ) . It ’s for that ground that Anakin rebelled , and recent stories have overlook plenty of grounds that only the similarly doubtingQui - Gon Jinn could have economise Anakinby actually hearing his concerns .
But then , hearing opposing opinions and acting with a sense of importunity is not a strength of the Jedi Council in the prequels . That trilogy is as much a story of Yoda ’s deception and fall as Anakin ’s , leaving them as two of only a handful of Jedi who survived . But in a key passage from Dooku : Jedi Lost , Lene Kostana urges Yoda to drill wakefulness , and view the power of Sith artifacts – still secure with the Dark Side – as reason to consider their job of protect the innocent may not be over . Advice Yoda throw out as he always has , dooming billion to tyranny . We ’ve transcribed the passage below :
" Master Yoda , Dooku visualize something down there . We need to know what it was ! "
" What ’s done is done . repress the memory , his mind has . The style he should . The way he has been trained . Much darkness dwells in that aggregation . That he feel something , surprising it is not . last it now has . And gone it will stay . Meditate you must . Cleanse your idea . serve we will . "
" ignore the past times as always ? … It ’s quite dim-witted , Dooku . I believe the Jedi must be prepared for a Sith uprising . Whereas Master Yoda think such preparation are– "
" Unnecessary … decease , the Sith are . "
" But what if we ’re wrong ? What if trim back them to a footnote of account is play into their hands ? Younglings like Dooku should be train to identify and battle their relic . Relics that are still scattered across the galaxy ! "
" Found more , you have ? "
" Not yet . But they ’re out there , I cognize they are . It ’s alright for you and the Council , sitting safe in your spire . Something ’s coming Master Yoda . I can– "
" you could … feel it ? "
" If we could just examine the prophecies– "
" Unknowable , the time to come is . Only to the Dark Side , prognostication top . To doubt . And fear . An one-time argument this is . "
" An literary argument you always win . "
Even Yoda Knew He Was To Blame For The Emperor
If there were any doubtfulness , or fears that we are being too harsh in our language or appointment of guilt feelings and blame , we would direct fans to Yoda ’s report told inStar warfare : Age of Rebellion Special . A comic book that explores Yoda ’s internal difference of opinion during his exile on the satellite Dagobah , and likeJedi Lost , is a fundamental piece of the newStar Warscanon . As Yoda live out his sidereal day as the last surviving Jedi ( as far as he acknowledge ) , he hold up each twenty-four hour period with the burden that he is responsible for the dusk of the entire Jedi Order .
Thankfully , Yoda finds time to desire for a hopeful future , and his organized religion in the Force shortly transform him into the chuckling , playful hermit audiences first met inThe Empire Strikes Back . Perhaps Yoda can laugh , having gained the distance need from the treachery and slaughter of hundreds of his former Jedi supporter at the deal of the ancient enemy he never even tried to oppose , despite being warned that this exact uprising might take stead . But that does n’t clear him of any guilty conscience .
Dooku : Jedi LostandStar Wars : Age of Rebellion Specialare uncommitted now .
