Who do you think made the most idiotic decision in “Star Wars” history? Let us know in the comments below, as well as what Star Wars lists you'd like to see! For more Star Wars, check out our playlist!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-tQ1S6U6WU.html
How about in Clone Wars when they decided to not investigate the clones after the Fives Incident and learning that Dooku played a role in making the clones?
Forget Clones Wars, it’s beyond dumb how the Jedi council accepted the clone army in Attack Of The Clones. Let’s see, a secret army entirely cloned AND trained by Jango Fett, the right hand man of Count Dooku, just appears out of nowhere to help us? What could possibly go wrong?
Anakin wasn't being stupid he was mentally vulnerable most likely due partially to Palpatine's manipulation. Jar Jar on the other hand like everyone who believes he's a Sith Lord in disguise is an absolute idiot among idiots.
@@chadpeterson5698 anikan was dumb (trying to take the high ground) was the cake taker! He was an idiot alot of the time he was on screen young adults are dumb lol and why does darth jar jar bother you so much that its so insanely crazy that it just makes a funny bit of sense lol let people have fun, dont be a stick in the mud
Meesa give emergency powers to Palpatine. Meesa will be named Darth Jar Jar. Meesa create the first galactic empire. Yousa in big doo-doo dis time. -Jar Jar Binks
I don’t think number 6 is dumb I mean the guy literally just disobeyed orders and let a majority of the fleet get wiped out she has good reason to believe he could very well be infiltrating as a spy
lol, everybody in the republic trusted him. Stop blaming jar jar. He was simply following orders. The entire republic was responsible for their fall and the empire's rise. The jedi, the senate, anakin, and even padme
#7 isn’t that dumb because Vader hates sand and stays away from it. He sent boba fett after luke too who was there at old Bens place so he try’s to avoid it. Too much pain for him on the planet with his mother too
@@lookingforwookiecopilot he isn't afraid, he hates sand and tatooine beacause it reminds him to his slavery times when he was a child, and the death of his mother
@@mgsxmike Its the stupid jedi code. They don't want him to have any emotional attachment to someone or something. To remove the fear of losing someone. They must let go. If Qui Gon were still alive he would try his best to help Anakin. Since he always break the code.
Ok... 7, Vader didn't know his kids survived. And, even if he had, his home planet is the last place he would think to look because it would seem like a bad place to hide Luke. 6 should easily be number 1. Especially since it is the reason for several stupid decisions.
Also 1 wasn’t jarjar’s idea they had to council the clone army that was being created and the Jedi couldn’t assume the ownership so they turned to someone they kind of trusted even if not completely (and I’m pretty sure one of the politiants they trusted the most until Anakin revealed everything)
@@decodiazHD also, it was worse that Padme voted to remove Chancellor Valorum, and so Palpatine took that position Maybe the worst was Nute Gunray & Trade Federation beginning the blockade against Naboo. Since then, they was always at war and were betrayed by the siths at the end
"Hey, how come the guy who helped make our clone army was also working for the separatists? Maybe we should look into that." The Jedi really were stupid sometimes.
Well if you actually knew anything about him you would know how pride often got the better of him. So in terms of story continuity, it made perfect sense...
They hid Luke on tatooine because they knew it would be the last place Vader would look, Vader would never want to go back to Tatooine because of all the bad memories and well, Sand.
You realize if that didn’t happen we would never have gotten clone wars season 7, rebels, the mandalorian, or any of the new shows that will be coming out. It’s fine to dislike the sequels but surely you can recognize how disney has done more good than bad
To be fair with Tatooine and hiding Luke there . . . it worked because Vader presumably hates the planet enough to avoid setting foot there most of the time.
@@lapplandkun9273 My comment was not saying that every issue listed in the video is connected to Anakin. My comment was saying that Anakin made enough mistakes to fill up his own video. Don’t read too much into this.
@@lapplandkun9273 There’s a video from “The critical Drinker” who talks about how terrible she is as a leader and compares and contrasts to a movie called “Crimson Tide”.
Number one should have been Obi Wan not telling the council that the Senate was under the control of a Sith lord after Count Dooku explicitly told him so.
He actually did. It just doesn't show in the movies. It's revealed in the novelization of Revenge of the Sith. And Mace Windu, as well as Yoda, believe it. Which is why they decide to keep a closer eye on Palpatine and the Senate as a whole. Mace Windu and Yoda states numerous times how they've detected the dark side's presence with Palpatine. However, they don't suspect Palpatine himself to be Darth Sidious. They believe someone close to him, perhaps among his advisers, to be the sith lord they've been looking for. They fear that Palpatine has fallen under the sith lord's influence. This is one of the reasons why they appointed Anakin to spy on Palpatine and his dealings.
I think the reasons Palpatine ordered Kylo to kill Rey were either he wanted to see which of them were stronger and more worthy of possessing or he did it cause he thought that their battles would push Rey to give in to the dark side.
Hiding luke in tatooine was genius as Vader would never go there due to the nightmares. Also Luke wasn’t a slave unlike anakin plus obi wan could help if Luke was ever in trouble
That was smart to hide like there because vader and anakin are different people and darth Vader dont want anything to do with anakin's mind or places he lived
Watto to didn’t accept Republic credits. This let Qui Gon gamble with Anakin and eventually he became a Jedi. Palpatine used Anakin to destroy the Jedi and form the Empire. All of that because Watto didn’t take credits. Definitely number 1.
Why do so many people think Obi-wan won cause of the high ground. He said "I have the high ground." playing on Anakin's pride and overconfidence, and anticipated the attack.

I like how palpatine gets his face turned into barbecue by Windu because WIndu deflects his lightning in Episode 3 but then attempts to kill Rey with the same strategy. Guess he never learns. It's like barbecue. If you cook steak for a while it becomes BBQ meat. If you roast it for more it turns into ash. Palpatine turned into ash.
It only appears that way. Palpatine's form after the fight with Mace Wundu is the same as it always was. The reason for the difference in appearance is the same as why the Jedi and even the Jedi masters could not sense him; he was using an ancient Sith force power known as The Mask. This power puts on a false appearance and "masks" your force presence. The battle with Windu merely forcefully cancelled the effect and Palpatine saw it as something he could use to obtain sympathy. Palpatine looks that way because prolonged use of the Dark Side of the Force, while granting great power, damages the body and weakens it. The only reason he can even move about is because he relies on his mastery of the Dark Side to act as a combination of stimulants, steroids, and mild cellular regeneration. After all, Darth Sideous did learn all he could from his master, Darth Plaguous, about using the force to control life... before killing him.
For the second screen, Palp doesn’t care about who his spirit takes... he only cares about power. If kylo was stronger then he takes Kylo if rey is stronger he takes her. Just like he threw away Vader for luke
@@Kentrc11 I saw a video about that and apparently it was explained that Obi-Wan would be crossing to the darkside if he actually killed Anakin similar to the scene of Luke stopping himself from finishing him off after cutting off Vadar’s hand
He didn't knew that Palpatine went to Mustafar, thinking that Yoda killed him or at least defeated him at Coruscant. Anakin should died alone for the burns and even falling to the lava
@@bernardomunozgarrido6671 Actually, the novelization explains that part of the reason he left Anakin was that he did indeed know the Emperor was approaching and knew he had to get out of there ASAP. He could've still done it quickly, but with backup coming and Anakin all but dead, he didn't think it was something he needed to do.
The Reason they had Luke go to Tatooine was because they knew that Vader would never go there because he doesn't want to have any association with Anakin trying to keep the memories of his past life buried deep within.
Let’s go back one further....Qui-gon and Obi-won saving Jar Jar from getting run over in Episode 1. That’s my top pick for the worst decision made by a Star Wars character.
Imo, Anakin killing Mace was one of the stupidest things ever. And Mace not just offering to make Anakin a Jedi Master at that moment to get him to sit still was also dumb.
In defense of Jar Jar's decision to grant emergency powers, not even the Jedi Council could see through Palpatine's guise, and Jar Jar did it to save the Jedi and Padme on Geonosis (a detail which the Watchmojo narrator conveniently left out). It was a short term gain that came back to bite them in the long run. Either that or, y'know, he's a Sith Lord or whatever.
Meh one could argue that Sidious' plans pretty much consist of playing all sides simultaneously......One could also argue that all of his plans were very stupid until a bunch of sequels, prequels, books, video games, comic books, etc, come up afterward and fixes everything and fans are like "Oh, so it was genius all along?"
Number 1 - Qui-gon should have stolen Anakins mom at the phantom manace. The werw like "Look this superpowerfull kid, lets traine him". and leavs his mom behind as a slave, at least they should have come back for her.
In regards to Number 7, Yoda and Obi-Wan didn't really have much of a choice since their efforts to cover up the birth were not guaranteed. If it got out Padme had given birth before she died, Vader would've scoured the galaxy for the child that was left behind. Tatooine was the last planet Vader would've thought to look for Luke if he had found out he had a son. It came up in one of the Vader comics. To quote Qui-Gon Jinn, "The core of Anakin that resides within Vader grasps at Tatooine. It is the source of nearly everything that causes him pain. Vader will never set foot on Tatooine, if only out of fear of reawakening Anakin". Not sure on the source of the quote, however.
Obi-Wan didn't want the high ground. He is exceptionally skilled while he has the low ground, both of his most notable kills, Maul and Grevious were achieved while they had the high ground. Obi-wan manipulated Anakin into taking the hi9gh ground so Obi-Wan could have the low ground.
Im guessing that the emperor told Ren to 'kill the girl' to seal his fate to be on the side of evil. After all, trying to kill a Jedi would be unforgivable.
That whole scenario was so damn cringy. If people are dying and starting to panick, and you actually have a plan, you don't keep it to yourself. The mutiny was a result of her failure as a commander.
Only Obi-Wan knew the only move that would defeat the high ground advantage, thus he knew how to counter the move... Obi-Wan told Anakin he knew Anakin would do that move and that he knew how to counter it... Yet Anakin still was stupid enough to try it...
In regard to Palpatine wanting Kylo to kill Rey, the theory is that killing Rey would have pushed Kylo over the edge and send him on one of his tantrums. Kylo would then have stormed back to Exegol and killed Palpatine in anger. This would have allowed Palpatine's spirit to take over Kylo's body. This accomplishes two things: The first is that Palpatine gets a young, healthy body to live in. The second is that he gets revenge on Anakin by forcing his grandson to become the very thing Anakin gave his life to destroy.
Luke should have kept his lightsaber in his hands in that final scene in Return of the Jedi. Just because you will never turn to the dark side does not mean you renounce your right to self defense. Almost resulted in him being 'well done.' Lol.
No the dumbest decision was Anakin siding with Palpatine, this led to: The death of Obi-wan, The Death of Anakin, Kylo Ren joining the dark side, The Death of Han Solo and The death of Kylo Ren
Dumbest decision: make Luke a secret but let him keep his surname Skywalker instead of changing it to Lars, so anyone with two eyes who sees a jedi called Skywalker can relate him with Dart Vader
Most people didn’t know that Anakin turned into darth Vader and revenge of the Sith makes it seem like no one really knew that Padme gave birth before she died
Palpatine knew Kylo couldn't defeat Rey and he wanted Rey in a situation where she was forced to kill him, therefore dragging her down the path to the Dark Side. At least that's what I'm telling myself so I don't have to think Papa Palpatine is an idiot.
To be fair, Obi-Wan and Yoda were right in their guess that Vader was too traumatized to ever return to Tatooine. Still, to paraphrase Tarkin, they took an awful risk. Plus, while they didn't initially know about them, they were lucky that Vader never ordered any of his Inquisitors to check out his home planet, either
There's no way Vader would've wanted to go back to Tatooine. That was the perfect place for Luke to grow up and Obi Wan to stay in exile. It's simple: The planet was covered in sand
You really didn’t include “palpatine doesn’t stop shooting lightning when it gets deflected back at him”? It literally happens at the end of every trilogy
Because it’s like an electric current, even if you cut it open or it comes back at him, the electric current won’t stop. He only controls how much power is in the current. Plus if you bring up the sorter lighting shots, it’s bc they are weak currents. That’s why dude.
The Jedi Council turning against Ahsoka when she wasn't involved in the bombing of the Jedi temple. 🙄 And Not heeding Five's warnings about the inhibitor chips and the potential execution for O66. 😒
I honestly think that the real number 1 should have been none of the jedi believing Fives (or taking him seriously) about the inhibitor chip. I feel like they definitely needed the clones to help fight off the droids, so the immediate power to the chancellor wouldn't have been bad at all if they would have just trusted Fives and had all the clones chips removed.
Obi wan not telling luke about his father is not a dishonorable mention. When that movie was made Vader was not yet going to be Luke’s father. Lucas decided that Vader would be Luke’s father during the production of the second movie. Do more research
I think we also need a “Top 10 Dumbest Decisions by Star Wars Jedi”. My picks (in no particular order): 1. Shaak Ti Trusting Nala Se to watch Fives (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) 2. Obi-Wan and Yoda go into hiding via self-imposed exile instead of rebuilding the Jedi Order (Revenge of the Sith) 3. Luke hesitates to kill Ben Solo (who would later be known as Kyle Ren) (The Last Jedi) 4. The Jedi Council give Ahsoka an unfair trial (The Clone Wars) 5. Anakin opens the holocron for Cad Bane (The Clone Wars) 6. The Jedi Council not continuing the investigation after finding out Dooku commissioned the Clone Army (The Clone Wars) 7. The “truth from a certain point of view” (A New Hope) 8. Anakin charges at Dooku alone, getting attacked with Force Lightning (Attack of the Clones)
