8 Light Side Orders That Competed With and Rivaled the Jedi Order 

I heard the J in Jedi hubris and i nearly jumped thinking you were gonna say Jakku.

Now you just need a video of the 8 not so lightside but not so darkside either orders and the circle will be complete.

Star Wars Reading Club what about the Jensari?

You kind of forgot about the gray paladins didn't you? And the Jenssari.

Not to mention the Jal Shey. Where they lie in what side of the force they follow I am not sure, but as they seem to detest war and are good at negotiating arguments and conflicts, I assume they are lightsiders as well. On Wookieepedia, in the history of the Jal Shey, there was a mention of a separate group called the Mabari, which though they were a warrior group, might also have been lightsiders.

#PalpatineDidNothingWrong

The jedi were walking the path to becoming something like a crusader. All other force sects must be purged, for the good of all.

@@fangorn23 --- But that doesn't make it right!

No but that is lawful good if the other orders are chaotic then they need guidance, is what I think most of the jedi think

Yeah but truthfully the Jedi had one point wrong. The thought that the dark side was morally wrong. The force itself is alive. It has a will I guess and if it connects to both the dark and the light users then the Jedi can go play God and deem what the forces will is. I see why the Jedi could never see that older 66 was coming. Because they didn't serve the force they used the force to serve themselves. The force dosent care if you light in heart or dark it just flows and connects so in reality forget the jedi.

Then why were the Baran Do happy enough to meet with Luke and Jacen? Why is the worst thing hte Fallanassi could say about the Jedi was that they interfered? The Jedi were friendly to these orders. Try to read the books.

@@levongevorgyan6789 The one you referring to of the Baran Do happy enough to meet with Luke and Jacen is brand new & reformed Jedi Order of the post-galactic civil war republic newly reformed..... not the old order of the Old Republic. ______________________________________________ It's Luke's Jedi that're friendly to these other light-side orders.... &, unless I miss my guess, Luke didn't discover The Fallanassi until somewhere after the newly formation of the Luke's reformed Jedi Order as well as the New Republic!

@@TheGoldenWildcat All their criticisms of the Old Jedi Order are based on a difference in methodology, NOT on the old Jedi oppressing or terrorizing them. You'd think they'd mention that. But they didn't. Because it NEVER happened.

@@levongevorgyan6789Still.... from my P.O.V. The Jedi more like the European Christians version of West Boro Church of Force users.... hubris, bigoted, & self-righteous. Even though, to be good-sporting fair.... 'The Jedi' also of course, at the same time.... that in spite of them be as it may aren't perfect, they do most have done something right to bring about 1000yrs of relative peace. jedi just discouraged this types of groups to keep order and that's it. That they weren't exactly purging them or anything like that.... just cause they weren't right 100% of the time in their methods, it's just them misguilded in them. I admit that they weren't... exactly say, trying to kill other light-siders.... just mostly persuade and convert, & really they don't go out of their way to kill every other force user that wasn't the Jedi, or at the least, not intentionally.

@@TheGoldenWildcat And you are wrong. Bigoted? Only against nut jobs that like killing people for fun. Self Righteous? Hubristic? Compared to the Sith, they are nothing. The Jedi are the good guys, remember? They have their flaws but they don't go around persecuting or attacking other, peaceful Force organizations. If they did, none of the others would exist.

They did get quite a bit of development though. I have plaid as both within the Star Wars table top roleplaying game. As mentioned in my stand alone comment my favorite was the Zeison Sha. In fact I liked them so much I never played as Jedi or Sith in that game again, and even installed something on my Knights of the Old Republic II game to have my character able to wear Zeison Sha armor.

I love the matukai

I whole hardly agree with you on that! Tell me.... what your take on this?

The Zeison Sha should have been a third faction in SWTOR.

joshua cochran That’s 100% what happened, that’s why Anakin brought balance to the force. He wiped out all of the Jedi and then the sith as well

Very good point balance between the light and dark is what the force requires hence they allowed the Jedi to be nearly eradicated and later the Sith as well, I think that’s what maintaining the balance of the force means

Damn, the force is pro-genocide?

Erik Johnson yea for the balance of the universe

Spot on. The Je'daii order, a precursor to both Jedi and Sith, were cognizant of all aspects of the force, and avoided going to far to the light or the dark (even sending its members to opposing temples to meditate if they were becoming too immersed in one or the other), but when they split the groups they became embraced either the Light or the Dark and largely forgot the middle. Anakin destroyed the Jedi order that had become corrupt, then destroyed the Sith, and the only remaining "Jedi" was more like a gray Jedi as he refused to be consumed by the dark but frequently made use of the dark side of the force (as could be seen when he force-choked a gamorrean and in other content used force lightning), was less dogmatic, and even went against his mentors (both Obi and Yoda expected him to kill Vader, but he overpowered him in a dark side rage but then turned away from it) who were certainly pleasantly surprised given their force ghosts at the end of Episode 6.

Owen Kahn Thanks. Just updated the pic today.

ImperialistOpinions same I really like them

Same. I like the visual description of the Aing-Tii as well.

Indeed

Disney star wars should be EU not the lore that is real star wars and doesn't do it's best to destroy it

Lego star wars the freemakers adventures was good

It was good but did have some stinkers. Like making vader's suit be super cheap in universe. I get that it was probably to show that sheev was evil and the system was inefficient, but my view of darth vader is ruined now that I know he can be immoblized by pressing a button on his chest.

Ye man it was greater with Britain

Hexmaster23 And to think that only Sith deal in absolutes.But then again... Yoda:Do or do not!There is no try.

Well the Jedi didn't actually attack any of them. They just didn't agree with them.

Sheev Palpatine Not exactly stupid, it just shows how blind and self-centered the Jedi were

The Jedi didn’t directly destroy them directly but they do absorb the orders that are and slowly take over the order’s present and power in the system they are prominent until the people don’t even know the order existed or just calling them Jedi though how differ their beliefs are from the Jedi

There is no think only do. The Jedi know the path.

I've been looking forward to this

Luke in the Disney Wars cannon is NOT Luke nothing in DW is true SW. The Jedi were more than OP enough to sustain peace in the galaxy. They did it for well over 20,000 years to the best of there ability. Lot's of wars broke out in this time but it's okay JEDI GANG !!!

ClockworkAlex well he is right about the Jedi order being arrogant and seeing the dark side as just pure evil. Luke could have made the Je”daii order who follow the light side and dark side teaching. But no he went to the killing himself path which is stupid in my opinion.

You can't agree with something in Disney canon without being tainted by its corporate sociopathy. You must redeem your damned soul!

@@jacobsoltero2872 They did it much better in the old EU the order became arogant twice once beforw the Jedi Civil War and most arogant members were wiped out during the Dark Wars and only the best and brightest Jedi survied to rebuild and learn from the mistakes of their predecessors hower this leson was lost after the Republic colapsed during the 1000s years darkness and the New Sith Wars which began to grow arogant once more due to growing overconfident and self justified as they thought their eternal foe the Sith dead but they were painfuly wrong and 2000 years later that would bite them in the ass with order 66 once again the best survied while the corupt died. Luke and those who surived order 66 and the Empire learned of the anicent past and learned from its mistakes along with their own that alowed Sidious to rise to power. The Jedi post episode 6 Luke built were free of the arogance and hubris the old order was and closer to what the Clone War order would consider gray jedi.

@@jacobsoltero2872 Jeez get over yourself stop bitching and acting like you own star wars. You can cry all you want but in no way does that make your statements true you don't get to decide what is real star wars and what doesn't count. If you had your way you'd be having Darth Jar Jar running around and Luke doing the most absurd fanboy shit you can think of regardless of it not making any sense.

I'd love that video

Obi-Wan Kenobi Yeah, Jedaai, Voss Mystics, Grey Paladins, Zakuul Knights, Zakuul Scions, Mandalorian Knights, Imperial Knights

Honest Happy Hater what about order of Sasha and revanknigths or are they more of a cult/dark neutral order

Obi-Wan Kenobi Yeah, forgot about them. Order of Shasa was leaning to the light side, but they were focused on protecting Manaan and the Selkath, rather than serving the light, so I guess they can be considered neutral. Well, until Darth Vader corrupted them. And yeah, Revanites were mostly neutral. That applies both to Revanites from Dromund Kaas jungle and Revanites that followed Revan to Yavin 4 and aided him in his failed attempt to awaken and kill Vitiate. Also, I forgot about Nekghouls. I guess they count, because no taking side means true and untainted neutrality

Like "the Great Order of Meh" or the ever famous "idontcarewhatyoudoleavemealone order". ^__^

Speaking of watching it again I already have only 2 weeks :/

Thought Bombs are a Sith tool. The Jedi hate thought bombs. The Jedi gave their lives to try and stop Thought Bombs.

@@levongevorgyan6789 You don't get jokes do you?

Hard to when a bunch of other people are making the same nonsense claims,

Imagine if the new trilogy was about a star wars world and the force after the end of the sith and jedi? Imagine that? Noo, they have to do fanservice

As far as I know such thing never existed in Legends and certainly not in Canon, Nihilus was the only one who shared this view but only to feed himself.

@@AkosKovacs.Author.Musician and Sion only stayed with Kriea because he wanted to destroy the Jedi. However in all honesty, I wish you could destroy the force (or go against it) like Kriea would've wanted. Though there is a Gray side for Kotor 2, I dont think it actually changes the ending, which is either light or dark.

Too bad the "Grey Side" was mostly being indifferent or self-servinf.

People didnt Even watch the video, the Jedi literally had no hostile relationship with any of the orders mentioned here, and they are saying Jedi exterminated them

Jedi are much lesser evil than the Sith, yet, from a realistic perspective, they are stagnant dogmatic zealots, especially before the Clone Wars (in which they literally betrayed their ideals to become army generals). Just saying.

If not for MmmeeEEEEeeeuueeeiiieee.... for __

Frank Fogel #palpatinedidnothingwrong

The Jedi were treasonous murderous kidnappers .

Well they do kidnap children by traditions so they could have been doing it before it was legal and train children to fight with weapons

The Jedi are holy and just.

Frank Fogel , you and me mister we could really out ugly those sons of bitches couldn't we?

The Green Jedi were more like Correlian soldiers with Jedi training, really. (Or Jedi who left the order and joined Correlia military instead)

That only exists because some 10 year old wrote a letter to Lucas whining about wanting to marry and be a Jedi. The moral: Everything in Star Wars is made up and canon if you can get people to agree with you.

@@douglassfunnie9959 or if you're the creator of said series and you get the final say in the matter

True

My charater sakatar in swtor is a gray jedi Echaani, it's so much fun role playing him

So your just going to ignore luke and obi wan? Ok

@@joshuaharewood1089 Luke was a grey jedi even his jedi academy allowed students to learn both sides of the force for understanding even obi wan bent the rules on occasion that's the thing about being gray it can be very free form

@@TheWarpmind Grey jedi are normally discrided as people who dont have a retricted code or people who use the light and the dark. Luke is neither as he does not teach the use of the dark but how to overcome it and the fact that he teaches them how not to do it means theres a code.

True. Though the Picts at least left behind stone carvings.

Matthew St. Cyr It was specifically the Druids, the religious, priestly caste of the pagan Celts, who had an oral tradition. They considered it profane to record their religious traditions. While the ogam writing system was used, usually for grave markers and other things of that nature, among the Gaelic and Brythonic Celts of Ireland and Britain prior to the introduction of the Latin alphabet in the 4th century, the average Celt was illiterate, as were most other average people of other cultures of the time whereas the higher or more noble classes did have some literary ability. The Druids, being one of the noble classes, did have access to this knowledge but chose not to use it.

Mikhail Romanos I am already aware, but thanks.

hahahahahahahahahaha\

*Any civilization that didn't popularize literacy

Honest Happy Hater Their also the Je”daii order

@D arren Have you heard of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

@D arren What about the Wookie Attack on the Droids?

I thought the Grey Paladins weren't necessarily Grey Jedi, but just used blasters (in a John Woo/Matrix/Alphas dex Style) and other non Jedi weapons, as well as lightsabers occasionally. And they could shoot incoming blaster fire. They were a light side order, and like many others had a quiet giggle after Order 66, since they were hard to detect as Jedi. They all just used guns like they had main character plot armour.

Night sister?

Tfw they did and had friendly competitions/tests with the Baran Do, were welcomed by the Aing Tii, and were only disliked by the Fallanassi cause they got off their asses and tried to make the galaxy a better place instead of being non-interventionist.

What are You even? When do the Jedi become hostile to anyone in this list? Did You even watch the video?

@@daviddeaguiar5643 Cultural destruction is just as bad as genocide.

@@hainleysimpson1507 i mean, not really, or at all

leon kennedy - Spot on!!

I was afraid to jinx it lol

No, not really. These other orders were more then happy to meet with and share with the Jedi.

Why do u lie, u piece of sith spawn?

Andrej Telisman They are the only order that really actively opposed the with though

Of all those Orders, it was the JEDI who stopped the Sith time and again. It was the Jedi who, despite their persecution at hte hands of the galaxy, stopped the Yuuzhan Vong. It was the Jedi who fought tooth and nail to stop Abeloth from destroying the Galaxy. The Jedi were the heroes, these other groups barely did anything. Hell, the Fallanassi even became puppets of Abeloth.

RKMNgaming what time is the stream tomorrow?

E M 3 pm Eastern standard time

RKMNgaming ok thanks. I'll try to join you guys.

Jensaarai were mentioned in the Dark Side organizations, since they were corrupted before they turned more gray
