I'm jedi master yoda

i am one with the force and can sense fear and anger

but i somehow couldn't figure out a giant conspiracy involving the entire army of the republic

jedis are useless
Order 66 was executed, and nothing of value was lost
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine did nothing wrong.

I just wish there was more of a feeling behind Yoda's hermitage. If he hid not only due to being hunted down but as penance after realizing that those clone troopers weren't disposable people at all but that even he as a wise master didn't see that. :ohdear: Would've only taken like 30s of screen time.

Yoda actually sees the clones as people, a lot of the jedi do, after fighting alongside them. Also I think in season 5 of The Clone Wars, the jedi figure out that he clones were originally commissioned by the bad guys, but they're like "oh poo poo. Well we're in this war too deep now, I guess we gotta just keep trying to win."

The cartoons also explain the hermitage more I think. They're really the best Star Wars thing since the originals.

I don't remember where but some book or Wookiepedia article mentioned him going to Dagobah not only to hide but also as an exile for failing.

Writers can only make their characters as intelligent as they are.
Lucas can't even make a bog standard love story dialogue make sense, so trying to make 400 IQ Space Ninjas do things that 400 IQ Space Ninjas should do is beyond him.
Other than 'wave glow wands about and sense disturbances', Jedi do gently caress all else.


Anakin Skywalker: I should have known the fans were plotting to take over. George Lucas has showed me the true ways of film making.

Obi-Wan: Anakin, George Lucas is stupid! The scriptwriters are stupid. The Expanded Universe is a giant bag of stupid.

Anakin Skywalker: From my point of view, it is the fans who are stupid.

Obi-Wan: Well, then you really are lost!

It makes a lot more sense that the Republic would be the ones with the droid army, while the Separatists would use a secret clone army. They could have even kept the clones = Stormtroopers thing by finishing the war and deciding to keep the surviving clones around as soldiers.

Probably Sheev's plan all along to replace the republic's army of useless droids with a battle-hardened army of clone stormtroopers. So when the Jedi decapitated the seperatist army by killing their commanders everything that had transpired was according to his design <evil laughter>.

Well the whole thing was kinda that the Republic had no army, only local forces like that of the Trade Federation, and if they started trouble on their own there was very little they could do.

ok the republic is a bloated quasi feudal state that handed all its power to nominally subordinate warlords and in the prequels it had unexpectedly arrived at the point of circling the drain with a new order in wait

so like ancient China every 200 years tops

This was one of those EU things that Lucas put into the movies with the prequels. Almost all the "rules" come from EU poo poo migrating into the movies 'cause stuff was kinda cool and nebulous originally.

There's an actual sith empire with sith ships, sith boots, sith customs and sith traditions in addition to governing the sith race. A jedi snuck into the sith empire and the jedi, with his jedi-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without harmony. It came with rage. It came with battleships, droids and armies. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the jedi thought of something he hadn't before. What if sith philosphy he thought, doesn't come from lore. What if sith philosphy, perhaps, means a little bit more.

in the eu, any relationship that isn't human/human is incredibly rare which is pretty funny when the rebels are apparently fighting for equal rights for aliens or whatever
