Ki-Adi Mundi EXPOSED - The "Perfect" Jedi was a Terrible Person 

The best quote I can think of for the Jedi for much of their existence, but especially by the time of the Clone Wars, comes from a minor side quest npc Padawan in the Star Wars the Old Republic MMO, "The Jedi say that fear and emotions lead to the Dark Side, and yet the Jedi FEAR emotion"

Mace Windu: We are keepers of the peace not soldiers Ki Adi Mundi: Bring in the flamethrowers.

I think the only times I was genuinely angry with Mundi, and not just disappointed, was during the Ahsoka and Yoda arcs. I will never forgive him for his sheer callousness during Ahsoka's most desperate time of need nor will I forgive him for his sheer close-mindedness when Yoda needed his fellow councilman's wisdom. It was one thing to dismiss communicating with the dead when they didn't believe it to be possible, it's another to accuse Yoda of being under Sith influence.

I would not want Mundi to be my Jedi Master.

How could he be terrible? He's the only one on the council who brought up the droid attack on the wookies...

Ki-Adi Mundi: I'm the most hated Jedi. Pong Krell: Hold my Corellian ale.

I like to believe the clones that shot him weren't under order 66 they just couldn't tolerate him any longer also yoda is kinda shit as a master dooku was right.

Mundi was a terrible Jedi overall, but the greatest Jedi of his time's Jedi. By the time of Mundi, the Jedi had spent almost 1000 years having basically become a giant echo chamber. They only accepted infants to train, who would grow up to train more infants. They did not patrol or act, but wait for orders from the increasingly corrupt Republic. They were so focused on communing with the Force, they lost connection to the Living Force. In essence, Mundi was the perfect product of his environment, and a perfect example of why said environment was do horrific

you know, mundi.... if i were your student i'd happily turn to the dark side and never look back.

Wasn't this kind of the point regarding the jedi by the time we got to clone wars? They were so wrapped up in the power, influence and arrogance that they couldn't see Palpatines manipulations and they couldn't sense Anakin's fall? They became arrogant, fearing to feel any kind of emotion or attachment while missing the irony of the phrase "fear is the path to the dark side". They spent so much time arrogantly believing the sith could never return only to miss the one literally under their nose

He could have used a lesson in humility. A lot of people would pay good money to see Dooku just trash him in a duel.

What about The Stupendous Wave Attack on the Mundi?

Mundi was past controlled. He was cold. And cold is a dark side emotion all its own. Being empty of compassion is an emotion of its own. It may sound exaggerated but Mundi was as close as anyone had become to Vitiate before his first death. Vitiate was beyond anger or hate or any other dark emotion by the galactic cold war era. He was empty and cold. He simply acted toward his goal. Mundi didn't have Vitiate's goal, but I dare wager the state if mind they both had as they calculated getting their goal and then threw lives at it would have been eerily similar.

I never and will never like him. He was such an arrogant man and held far too much pride

Was he a good person? Let me think…. Execute.Order 66 at lease Mace Windu loved the Republic deep down and had he not turned to the Darkside. I think he and Anakin could’ve become great friends

My favorite part was when he said "what about attack on the wookies"?

Master Luminara Unduli was the same way. When it came to her padawan, Barris Offee. During a battle to destroy a separatist droid production facility Barris was sent in with Ahsoka Tano. They succeeded in their mission, but was trapped in the rubble. Luminara was willing to accept the death of Barris as “The will of The Force”. Anakin was not willing to give up on Ahsoka. There was an episode of this battle in The Clone Wars. Luminara was so cold 🥶 about willing to “let go” and blamed Anakin for being too compassionate with his padawan. Perhaps 🤔 this is what led to Barris becoming rogue with The Jedi. Ki-Adi-Mundi’s men hated him. Especially during the battle of Mygeeto. Many soldiers died needlessly and he seemed very unsympathetic towards them. Though he saved their commanding officer many times, he had a lot of disdain for Ki-Adi-Mundi. When Order 66 was delivered, the clones had no problem enforcing it and violently killed Ki-Adi-Mundi. But if he was considered the “perfect Jedi”, he acted relatively similar to that of a Sith.

“Rules are mostly made to be broken, and are too often for the lazy to hide.” - Sun Tzu

I know one thing for sure I would've hated to be a Clone Trooper or Padawan under Mundi. I would've tried to leave the first chance I got.

What’s weird was Mundi actually cared about Shak ti (sorry if I slept that wrong) in the Star Wars 2003 animated movie but in anything else nah just a arrogant man

I just thought for being as hyped as he was he could deflect a few more blaster shots lol.😂

Lol he gets so much hate even though he is rarely on screen...only star wars fans can accomplish this feat.....lol .

I used to call him ice cream cone head man when playing toys with my daughter when they were kids, he is ice cream cone head man

i bet mundi tripped or ordered other jedi to fight and made a run for it, hid until reinforcements when the fight with gen greivous came. just like he hid when his father was beat while wetting his pants. he was the only one left to tell lies after all. lumpy head mundi deserved his death a thousand times over.

Out of many of the Jedi from the Clone Wars era, it wouldn't have been surprising that if Luke did hear stories about Mundi, he would've been absolutely horrified and disgusted by how he basically did not care about anything. Mace Windu became a symbol to his Jedi Order to outright not get involved with the politics of the government, Mundi would serve as an example of what not to become.

I must be the only Star Wars fan that doesn’t mind Mundi, yes he’s unattached and approaches situations with pure logic yet I think he is given a hard time. One point that always annoys me though is all the videos on him suggest he didn’t care about his family, which is explicitly not true. In fact Mundi said himself he DID care for them but tried to remain unattached inline with the Jedi code but admitted that it was always difficult. So I don’t get why Star Wars researchers far greater than myself overlook this or flat out twist it to make Ki Adi out to be some type of unfeeling Jedi sociopath. He was an example of the Jedi’s flaws to be sure, but this is still somewhat of a harsh view on a layered character.

A Jedi so horrible even most sith find him to be beyond what’s considered okay even by their very loose standards.

Never trust a conehead.

Yea yea yea...but what about the droid attack on the Wookies?

“Was Ki Adi Mundi a good or bad Jedi?” Yes 😂

I really can't believe that there are Jedi like this

It's Jedi like Mundi that cause Dark Jedi tae happen. Trust me on this, I'm a Sith.

I would assume that George got his surname from either the Latin root word "Mundus" which means 1. (noun) World; and 2. (Adjective) Clean. Or he got it from the term "Spiritus Mundi" which was coined by the poet William Butler Yeats in his poem "The Second Coming". Yeats believed that each of us is a part of an ordered Universal Mind or "Spiritus Mundi".

To be fair Ki-Adi lived the only way that he knew how to. Who am I to say that he is wrong for doing such?

I’d wager a lot of the hate is misplaced. And as a Jedi master he doesn’t really have the luxury of mourning especially during the clone wars

Mundi is basically the perfect example that even the Light Side can corrupt you.

Mundi was what he was trained to be, which means he was a terrible Jedi. Lacking compassion, however, should have been a red flag to his ascension to the council or even being granted the title of Master. But the council at this time lacked any compassion for anyone or anything but themselves and thier rigid code.

In his defense it seems like he's had so much practice with letting go thar it eventually came naturally. But he still had to let go which show that he still somewhat cared. I don't like him, but I can respect tha level of dedication

Can you do a video on all the padawans that Yoda trained and what became of them I think that would be amazing!

Can he be worse than Luminara Unduli?

Jedi: "Let go of attachment" *Let's go of attachment Also jedi: "Omg psycho"

I'll admit, we don't know if his species was more logical than emotional. If so, then he should not have been involved in emotional choices. Yoda's long life worked against him there. Reading a fantasy series where they have immortals and replace the emperor every 50 years because of the fear that since immortals live so long, they are reluctant to change which can be bad for an empire in the long run.

The Dark Woman, I wonder if that is the same Woman from the last mission of Jedi Starfighter, I saw a Character with a Name like that

Careful, the SW fans will start sending the actor death threats now.

Also, he's always reminded me of the coneheads from the 90s if anyone remembers that 😅

He is not a perfect jedi but an excellent Sith

He truly exposed the flaws in the Jedi code by bringing it to its logical conclusion the Jedi code says there is no emotion so he decided to become a Vulcan from Star Trek who uses cold calculus to decide who lives and who dies

He needs too go back too the Coneheads Universe.

I would want plo koon to be my master

Or maybe when tough calls had to be made, he just accepted his duty and suffered in silence. And was hated for expecting other to do so.

Pretty long video for Mundi simply telling Anakin to move on.

If I wanted to have a master to train me in lightsaber and force abilities, it would honestly be Maul

He along with Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, and T'chooka D'oon are some good examples that the Jedi deserved Order 66. Not all of them of course but a good majority did.

Perhaps the Jedi do need to end- but only if they are replaced with something better...by Luke.

Another youtuber has uploaded an anti kid adi Mundi video. I am well pleased by this.

His lack of grief for his dead family really grinds my gears. Grief isn’t just for yourself, it’s also a sign that you cared for the dead in question and that you’ll remember them. Needless to say we call him a sociopath for a reason. Maybe even a full-on psycho.

"The Sith have been extinct for a millennia" "He (Dooku) is a political idealist not a murderer" For a guy with such a big head, he can be wrong about many things...

This is one of the reasons why I don’t wanna buy Master Mundi. Because I’m using the Legends version of Luke’s Jedi order and I feel like he would be a bad choice for me to buy

What about the droid attack on the wookies?

if the death of a close person has no impact on you, means the life of said person had no meaning to you...that crosses the territory of psychopathy

But... What about the droid attack on the Wookies?

Ki Adi Mundi: Guys, for the 200th time. What about the droid attack on the W- Clone Troopers: LET'S RATTLE EM BOIS

Damn astromechs have more feelings.

Ki adi mundi: wait, so yoda can have good relations with the wookies, but I can’t with my family?

Has anyone else noticed that in some depictions, Mundi’s eyes somewhat resemble the sickly yellow eyes that Sith like Darth Sidious have?? I’m probably looking too far into it but it seems to me that he’s more in touch with the Darkside than other Jedi

You should do a video of what the 501st and 212 said to the senate and Jedi council after they killed Jedi master pron keel And who is stronger count dooku or pron krell

Excellently made video! Ki-Adi-Mundi was definitely an a**wipe of a Jedi, acting like Drago from the Rocky series in regard to his family getting killed.

I feel like mundis "care" or interests in his planet and his family was reallyjist another extent of his narcissism, he caredfor the planet bc thats where HE came from, and for his family bc they came from and were considered an extension of Himself, and for no other reason besides that. He didnt want his planet or family to in anyway cast a bad light on him, and thats the on,y reason he had any interest at all. Ki adi also didnt follow the force, he followed established dogma, for a guy with two brains he was incredibly narrow minded and inflexible.

Mundi is a good *Jedi,* but that does not mean he's a *good* Jedi.

the reason he got killed in order 66… He mentioned the droid attack on the wookies

Ki-Adi Mundi's rebuttal: "But what about the Droid Attack on the Wookies?"

The council ask him to bear no attachment. He followed orders. He is less a fanatic than just a soldier.

But what about the Droid attack on the Wookies?

….but…. What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

I also knew there was something about his character I’ve always referred to him as cone head 😂😂😂

why is the music only playing on the left side

There's something I disagree with on this video and that's saying that Mace Windu was the example of how wrong the Jedi council was, by comparison Mundi is a much more appropriate example as he displays just how dogmatic and ridgid the Jedi had become as whole, while Mace did jump the gun it was Jedi like Krell and Mundi that made the galaxy turn on the Jedi so readily.

Also had he not mentioned the attack on the Wookiees yoda would have been on courascaunt when anakin exposed palpatine as a sith which would have changed EVERYTHING

Hi thank you for the great content

Mundi was a walking Hypocrisy of the Jedi Order… Let alone THE COUNCIL!

This is the second video I encounter completely flaming Ki adi Mundi and I need to defend him because a lot of people simply seem to lack the ability to think from another perspective. 1. His species is a 2 brain species known to be highly rational. Therefor developing a stoic mindset so that emotions dont influence your actions is a very rational approach and practical as it helps with the jedis approach on emotion People seem to forget that nlt letting yourself be influenced by emotions is not the same as not caring. Ki adi does care, he is just a stoic and doesnt let him influence it which makes him seem cold He has no ties to his family nor his wifes because he has so many of them and practically cant spend a lot of time with them so obviously he wouldnt be emotionally destroyed as much if smth happens to them. 2. Questioning Ahsoka in light of the evidence considering the fact that hr doesnt know her well is 100% reasonable. Its fking war, everyone can be a traitor 3. Saying that yoda is under dark side influence is a very good suggestion that was partly true due to sidious manipulating yoda. 4. Everyone seems to forget that if the jedi had listened to mundi he would've carried the shit out of them and prevented order 66, he proposed for palpatine to lay down emergency power after grievous death so that if he refuses the jedi can intervene and not just arrest him out of nowhere like windu did. This would've been a politically way smarter move

but what about the droid attack on the wookies ???

Don’t forget Mr use the flamethrowers

I thought Plo Koon was the perfect jedi.

I find similarities between Ki Ady Mundy and Darth Sidious - both of them doesn't really care about anyone in the galaxy. It's possible that Mundy take some aspects of the dark side, without realizing it.

Mundi lowkey the future of the verse

Me and a friend have a running joke about Ki-Adi Mundi as he is the perfect master for Anakin.

even though jedi were supposed to be compassionate, mundi was very sociopathic

I refuse to look at the Jedi through the rose colored glasses that gets included for free.

"a long career as a general in the clone wars" The clone wars were like 3 years long

Mundi gets a lot of undeserved hate. The problem is not necessarily Mundi, it is the system of belief that the jedi order as a whole indoctrinated their members into during this era. Where do you think Mundi learned this behavior? "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.” - Yoda "The Jedi Code forbids attachments. I Cared for them [his family] but I tried to remain unattached. It was always...difficult." - Mundi If you want to criticize the jedi of this era you should start with Yoda lol. Love your videos. keep up the good work!

So he was never actually considered about the droid attack on the wookies? LoL

"traded his humanity for perfection"

My dude Mundi had riz.....😂

I'm here!

Funny with them like Mundi all these Era Jedi was taught to not have ANY attachments an in doing so Jedi like HIM came about that coudla been EASILY Darkside turned or done something stupid an still died anyways or been a huge risk to the future Rebels had he made it that far. Lacking too much emotion is just as bad as polar opposite like Anakin. As he won't have any sorta compassion or understanding enough when it was necessary. While Anakin became Vader for having both too much attachments and way too much reckless passion and not enough emotional control if he hadn't first learned the hard way somehow

later when Luke reforms the order Luke himself says that jedi need attachments as it increases a jedi's power. I'm apathetic of mundi..

The Jedi that showed up with Yoda to take on the emperor were probably the worst I've seen. The younglings did a better job with a lightsaber.

he pees himself when he fights grievous

Well he is a conehead..so..there is that
