Why the Jedi NEVER Recruited from Certain Species 

I really need more star wars lore to tell to my next date.

We seriously need more lore coverage of weirder legends species like the Bilar

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a Hutt Jedi?

@@argiedude3762 Yes he was fallen Jedi and the villian in the novel "Planet of Twilight"

Commander Cody the time has come we’ve reached 66 likes

I believe there was an Ewok Jedi. Only one though, and he wasn't named.

Oh, that's pretty awesome

But that was at the time of Luke's New Jedi Order (in legends) in which many of these aspects were relaxed or even removed from question as the Attachment rule was basically also the cause of the Old Jedi Order's downfall and the changes in the Jedi Code now favored the (back at the days of the golden age of the republic completely forgotten) teachings of the Jedaii Order (the predecessors of the Jedi) in which in order to bring balance to the Force, both sided must work in tandem rather than against each other and avoid following into obsessive extremes like what happened with the Jedi of the Old Order with the light side and the Sith with the dark side

There was a Jedi Hutt in Legends

@@icehunter2910, yes. Beldorian was his name. He was quite something.

Wdym rule 34 paradox? I know the rule but what's the paradox?

@@cyber1ifeconnor So umm.. was that literal or...

@@JimmyPizzaDelivery Depends on the species.

@Samuel Dimmock You argue against the Dark in a way that isn't ass-backwards, and actually makes sense. I like you. Although the Light is too flawed to be able to purify the Dark; To be able to purify the Dark, one has to know the pros and cons of both sides in order to best use them in tandem and to best educate the galaxy on how to adapt. Coexistence is possible, but only if those of the Light and Dark are willing to reflect and change.

:O genius

I very much agree with this idea, but it still has a problem. The mechanics of various games, which are often canonical mathematical representations of the lore, consistently show that a being becomes "stronger" as it approaches the extremes of one side or the other. Unless the "correct" way to live is to embrace weakness, and probably go extinct shortly there after, shouldn't a balance focused force sensitive be more capable of ensuring the survival of its ideas if not its race?

@@xenomang3149 Jedi are basically "holier than thou" bullshiters claiming to know best without caring to understand the other side which is why they were unsuccessful in eradicating the siths.

@@DarkFireTim Well besides the obvious - gameplay over lore - embracing weakness itself to the degree of self-sufficiency would make most sense, whether that be combining both extremes somehow or holding onto enough power to survive. The very act of becoming powerful seems to break balance, unless of course the other side is also powerful. If everyone is weak, everything is balanced, if everyone is powerful, everyone is balanced. So what I'm saying is, be as powerful as required to not cease to exist, be as powerful as you want, as long as it is balanced. My ideas on it at least.

Also what “Balance” in terms of the force is super inconsistent and depends on the writer. Some writers think the Light Side is Balance and the Dark Side is a perversion therefore Dark Side is inherently 100% bad and should be destroyed, while others think Balance is trying to find an equilibrium between the Dark and Light side so you can use the force without being held back by the flawed “Might makes right and every man for himself” philosophy of the Sith and the Anti-Life philosophy of the Jedi.

From what I've seen the ideal jedi would be someone who expresses emotions but not strongly. Slightly more emotional than Spock.

With the guardian’s permission so technically no they aren’t kidnappers

​@eclipseandflaresgacha Jedi mind tricks at minimum, potentially verbal manipulation or threats are all tools they could have used. If any of those happened, it's coercion, and decisions made under duress aren't legally enforceable. No creepy cultist with a glowing sword would be stealing my (hypothetical) child.

@@eclipseandflaresgachastill baby snatchers.

@@okaycook1307 Essentially giving a baby away for an adoption is one thing, you are not snatching something that is freely given. What gets me is this "oh no we are not brainwashing children, don't be silly, we are just taking them when they are too young to even create attachments to their own parents and take them away into secluded fortress-monastery to ensure they are exclusively exposed to your way of thinking and doing things and no other". Yeah this makes you less of a Buddhist warrior monk and more Turkish Janissary.

This guy is a jedi shill 🤬

If there ever were to be a Bilar Jedi, it's entire group would have to all be Jedi, or at least pro-Jedi/aligned with the Jedi. Antarian Rangers, Temple Security, and the Jedi Service Corps would be a few good spots for them.

Theres a LOT of muscle in Hutts that see average or regular movement throughout the day. And even the obese and "larger" ones have the capacity to quite literally "one-shot" most humanoids species in the galaxy with a full power tail swipe or body rush. I can't even imagine how dangerous a Hutt that works out regularly and eats a stable diet could be. *painfully recollects the early Tionese-Hutt Wars and "The Devouring"*

@@blackshogun272: Like Slugs they have alot of muscle and almost no to a very small sceleton (because of the arms and skull) and they move like slugs do. The point were I admit that the comparason becomes whacky is the fact that the Hutts don't have the slime that slugs have to protect themselves from predators (for example ants), at least as far as we know. I also was by no means saying that hutts are harmless. There's a good reason (apart from the slime) that only animals FAR larger than Slugs consume them. It just blows my mind that hutts suposedly have a komplex neural structure, because of theire almost identical shape and danger (towards insects) of slugs. Making it a failly save bet that the Idea of Jabba (and Hutts generally) was probably inspired by slugs.

Hutt warriors are nothing to laugh at, it's scary how powerful they really are

"only a sith deals in absolutes" is an absolute... Was obi-wan trying to tell us something?

That really shows how corrupt the Jedi order was by the time of the clone wars

Like so many of Obi Wans saying, "only Sith deal in absolutes" is just an example of Obi Wan's almost complete lack of wisdom regarding matters of morality. Obi Wans actual moral system was simply partisan - he believed he was on the right side. As such, anything he did was in his own mind perforce justified. A moral system that is as subjective and hypocritical as the one practiced by Obi Wan is no real belief system at all, since it had no strictures or tenants that required Obi Wan to do anything. It was all morality others had to follow, but as one of the anointed, Obi Wan felt he could do basically anything he wanted. Thus he could pass an absolute judgement on others, "only the Sith deal in absolutes" in complete disregard to how he himself had just dealt in an absolute, since the rules didn't apply to him. He could say something like, "the truth is only a particular point of view" to justify his manipulation and prevacation, indifferent to the fact that claiming the truth is only a particular point of view means that there is no truth, and thus nullifying his own statement. In short, we have learned from the Prequels that neither the Jedi nor the Sith are the "good guys", but rather both are fatally flawed philosophies that have missed the truth completely. Unfortunately, Disney didn't have the guts or the intellect to really follow up on the actual meaning of "Return of the Jedi" and so we were left with an intellectually bankrupt Sequel trilogy with no resolution to the moral conflict and indeed a de-resolution that destroyed all the meaning implied by the original trilogy.

No one said its good it's just the more righteous side which is why I would never join the jedi order they follow the will of the force meaning they do whatever it tells them to even if doesn't benefit everyone I would rather be a lone jedi or bounty hunter and do whatever. I would chase whatever dream I have also the dark side is a organisation and being in a organisation you lose freedom to do whatever you want so unless you need to borrow that organisation power to help you chase your dream I would just roam alone like if general Grievous wanted to kill the jeid he could of teamed up with that witch and just got rid of the two sith Lords and bece the head of the cis and with the help of that witch and her son he probably could of done a decent job and live to see himself win

He as right though. Anakin’s selfish attachments cause the death of thousands of people including the Jedi who trusted him. Attachments cause death and pain. Pong Krell was the hero of the clone wars.

Yeah, biological hive minds are physically much less likely than artificial lightspeed or lightsabers. I'm not even joking.

Eusociality is often an inherent precursor to gestalt consciousness and hive mind psychology. Bees are often described as eusocial, and they act more as a singular organism rather than a hive of individual bees. In fact that’s where the whole concept of a “hive mind” comes from. Ants too are quite collectivist in nature as well. Most ants are mindless insects on their own which as groups could construct entire ant mounds with elaborate catacombs and even cooling systems and agriculture in some species. You rarely see Geonosians outside of their home world of Geonosis too. That’s because if isolated from their pheromonal homes and cut off from their guiding queen, they become comatose and die. Only the highest ranking drones like Poggle the Lesser were granted more mental autonomy and thus was able to negotiate diplomatically and represent the voice of the entire collective.

@therealspeedwagon1451 Maybe in Disney Canon they die away from the hive, but I don't believe that's true even then, there's a few Geonosian characters in even the new stuff who have gone rogue, they're people, not animals that are part of a super organism. They're also very technological, which means they have abstract thought, which is necessarily beyond the instinct that is fundamental to a proper hive mind. Most hive minds in fiction are magic, which could be the case for geonosians, considering the Force exists in star wars, but I think they're more a case of social group, much like how humans are primates, and tend towards smaller tribal groups, Geonosians would tend towards collectivism, which is why they're so xenophobic, the ape beings that predominant the galaxy like humans/near humans are too weird for their tastes. But that doesn't make them inconsequential monsters, think of Klik Klak, a totally isolated Drone, he was still alive, had emotions, could think rationally, and was set up to be the savior of his kind, and may well end up being that if someone cares enough to retcon the goofy idea that the Queen in the Darth Vader comics was the one who hatched from the egg he was protecting. Geonosians are alien to us, but so are dolphins, and elephants, and octopuses, it doesn't mean they aren't intelligent beings capable of abstract reasoning, even if they aren't people as you might understand a person to be, to most Geonosians, or Dolphins, us Humans are likely not what they'd consider a person either. Even super organisms like the Arachnids from the Starship Troopers movie are a sort of people, even if each warrior bug is closer to a single cell of that super organism, like an ant to an Ant hive, the hive itself is the person, with the Brain Bug as the brain, of course, and in the case of the Arachnids, they probably didn't even understand that they were inflicting casualties to the humans, because to the Arachnids, the entire battle of Klendathu resulted in only one casualty, the Brain Bug itself becoming a POW. But Geonosians are different, they'd consider each individual lost a casualty, even if culturally they wouldn't care, they have individuals in the way humans do, not in the way Arachnids do.

thats why they dont recruit from force resistant races, cant "convince" them to hand over their children

All Facts.

@@naruto12mendiola Holy Crap, Anakin is the Man Behind the Slaughter!

@@locoarticwolf2181 So instead of Jedi, the temple is full of animatronics and the clones must stop them before they destroy Coruscant.

When as a kid I read that Jedi prefer to train kids sub-6 or 9 months, it kinda clicked that "oh these guys may have some ah... issues." I didn't fully hit the realisation or know about the concept of religious indoctrination but part of me still found that... odd.

This is a detail of the Jedi order that still goes over a lot of people's heads, and I love that more people are taking notice. The concept of Jedi vs Sith is too often treated as a matter of black and white by the fandom, when in reality it was VERY grey, both morally and in alignment. Especially when you examine the canon issues of "Light Side Sith" and "Dark Side Jedi". In the current canon there are at least 3 examples, Maul being a Light Side Sith (turned from Dark Side Sith at some point during the Clone Wars by sheer terror of the future he saw under Palpatine's reign) and Pre-turn Anakin, Luke, and Rey being Dark Side Jedi (All 3 regularly bent the force for violence in itself and acted driven primarily by emotion while under the banner of Jedi, all manifesting at least 1 typically "Sith" power).

@@KiraSlith I wouldn't call pre-clone wars Maul a "light Sith" by any means. Pretty much all examples from any official source are pre-Bane. But even then, "light" and "dark" refer to Force alignment, not good or evil. This brings us to another example of how the Jedi and Sith parallel each other, though. Neither order tolerated members who leaned towards the opposite side of the Force that said order promoted. The Sith would purge any Light Sith that showed up just as often as the Jedi would purge Dark Jedi.

I recently came to the conclusion that the Jedi did more than just force their teachings on to younglings. The Jedi are incredibly discriminatory against the Sith, which would be reflected in their teachings. Because of that, Sith ideals never evolve past their "let's take over the galaxy" phase. I believe that if the Jedi allowed free discussion of Sith ideals, sooner or later there would be a Sith Reformation (Similar to the Protestant Reformation of Earth) where Sith would eventually value individual freedom over "Let's copy the Jedi's goal of galactic order, just with us in charge." If the dark side was truly opposite of the light side, then not caring about structure should be the end result, as Jedi are about bringing "balance and order" to the force. The reason why this never crosses the mind of the Sith is because... well, no Sith philosophers could really spread such ideals. Under Jedi rule, any discussion of Sith philosophy is suppressed or demonized. Some bright youngling begins talking about possible benefits of using emotions? Oh no, time for a spanking (Or something else. I don't know how Jedi discipline their students). The Sith on the other hand, at least during the time period post-Clone Wars, though probably in every other era, create a toxic workplace environment where cruelty is often encouraged and backstabbing is on the regular. This is thanks in small part to their own demonization, as only criminals would become Sith during Jedi rule, or because the Sith only teach about rage and anger, which ignores other strong emotions. In both cases, the revolutionary Sith who may inspire a free-thinking, live-and-let-live philosophy never have the chance to express themselves without dying.

@@mr.outlaw231 I don't think the Sith themselves would reform just because the Jedi decided to not go after them on principle anymore, the goal of domination is kind of inherent to their order. What would more likely happen is that more "balanced" dark side orders, like the Nightsisters and Jennessari, would have the freedom to spread, drowning out the Sith as the primary users of the dark side. It would also mean fewer Jedi actually falling to the dark side completely, because the Jedi themselves would be able to maintain a more balanced perspective with the Force. And, if a Jedi _did_ completely fall to the dark side, they'd have other options besides the Sith to turn to.

Yeah, the first 6 minutes are just a monologue excuse for all of the Jedi’s fucked up policies.

@@mrarchaicworld its interesting how the jedi never learn, you think they would learn , and continue to pay for it, revan should have shown them the potential of learning to control your emotions, rather then fearing them (also its interesting to realize in a way palpatine was the best thing to happen to the galaxy as he led to the fall of the jedi, and the formation of lukes much more reasonable jedi order)

I always came up with this theory that Yoda's species are all force sensitive through the light side of the force. And the Sith Pure Bloods are all force sensitive through the dark side of the force.

You're not wrong. There *are* examples of animals with a high enough medichlorian count to be force sensitive. The issue is that your species needs to have achieved a certain degree of higher intelligence to be able to use those medichlorians to interact with the force in the way Jedi and Sith do.

@@Janoha17 Hutts as a species used to be great warriors and were very agile I think

That’s because you don’t understand the Star Wars Galaxy or The Jedi Order. There’s a reason why the Jedi exist in the Star Wars galaxy and why they have their specific ways.

Many would prefer that then be raised by an alien version of Asian parents

I don’t think that there was necessarily a lack of love - but that it was more of a community love than a strong bonded love, such as being raised by a group of your aunts and uncles rather than by your parents. The child would still be held, comforted, and loved, but they would bypass that intense attachment you would get when a child was raised by one or two primary caregivers. Not a perfect system, but it kind of makes sense, look what Anakin did when his mother died

The dark side is strong in this one

basically you would let the humans get slaughtered and massacred by the siths then. Very well then, if thats any better what the jedi are doing then idk.

The Jedi relinquish their own desires to the force, the greatest Jedi are like puppets for the force doing what the universe needs to be balanced. The force doesn't want them to learn the ways of the force because they would only be corrupt and ruin the balance. It's like Christianity except imagine if you became a Christian god himself actually starts telling you what you have to do and all you have to do is listen to get closer to him.

@@P.Subaeruginosa what is the difference between being attuned to the force that benefits all live, and having the foresight to know what to do that all life can be benefitted? Given the circumstances sometimes you need to let go of your shortsighted desires in order to do what is necessary for the good of all. Are you now a puppet to the circumstances you're born in? Are you more free if you didn't know what is the best for the world and therefore your desires are never in conflict with the logically superior way?

@@DundG being attuned simply means you understand it, the Jedi aren't just attuned they do the bidding of the force because the force is the source of life essentially like "the source" or "the universe" to pagan cultures

Hive Mind species, not necessarily insectoid ones. It's just that hive minds are most present in bugs than anything else. Hell, the Pseudo-Arachnids and Arachnids from both Starship Troopers universes are arachnids themselves; They are more biologically similar to Arachnids on Earth than Insects, the only dominant insect part being the Hive Mind itself.

to be fair, it's just their moral teaching. It's not as though individualism is a valid excuse for being expressly immoral

I mean to a less extreme extent. Jedi preach their beliefs. The borg will violently force you to confirm to theirs no matter how hard you resist.

they are essentially a cult

They also, paradoxically, aren't big fans of collectivism, as it would result in strong mental attachments aside from the jedi which would of course lead them down the path of the dark side.

Not necessarily, I’m pretty sure u heard the saying “Can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” It would be easier to train a child to control his emotions and master their force abilities when at younger ages, as opposed to tryna teach a young adult or teenager. As people get older they’re more stuck in their ways and it’s harder to teach something so great (detaching one self from their emotions is not an easy task especially the older u get).

Oh have you heard of the Imperium of Man?

Yoda knows better than to try to convince someone that's in love to stop loving people. Have you ever tried? It would have pushed Anakin to the dark side even faster. Also notice that Yoda didn't threaten him with expulsion for it, which is support whether Anakin chose to forego his personal feelings or not. He didn't need to be encouraged to make himself vulnerable to the dark side, but he got validation in that Yoda agreed it was a conundrum that Yoda would not force him to just give up, and he certainly didn't just get brushed off with apathy. I actually can't think of a time when any Jedi was threatened with expulsion, though some that started becoming a Sith in Jedi clothing were found out. Case in point, Duku chose to leave the Jedi order of his free will, not due to expulsion. I can't see your point on "apathy" when all Jedi are included in the Jedi order's support system, which includes access to just about any thing you may need including thousands of people to seek for emotional, moral, and mental support. The library lady comes to mind, for example (I forget her name).

The Dark Concil and the Imperial Intelligence wish to know the current location of said Pureblood

also Lord Praven, recruited on Tattoine by a certain dialog.

Asoka once again being the best character.

There is no light, there is no dark, there is only balance.

@Samuel Dimmock I have to disagree. The dark side of the force isnt bad, we have in-lore (i can't remember the comic but there was a explanation about how the dark side isn't dark cuz its evil), as well as philosophical indication (star wars is heavily influenced by eastern philosphy ideas after all; see Ying yang (i know that is very surface lvl, but still)). But I agree that some people think for some reason that you wont get the bad aspects, but thats cuz we don't have enough sources on truly grey force users/jeedai's. Hopefully that changes soon

@@daniilpashuk6017 Some dark side powers seem to naturally corrupt the user.

@@0816M3RC I think thats more of a byproduct than anything. If we go woth medichlorians being part of the biological structure of carbon based life forms, than the dark side powers, wich are a more direct form of force manipulation than light side powers, use those cells more intensly, leading to decoloration and deformation of the skin and blood vessels. At least thats my head canon

And this neutral being ended up fighting for his own pride

@@seppi1789 while true the entity did end up fighting for his own pride originally. He did start training some of the Rebel characters after they were humbled a bit within the Force. Granted he did also attack the Empire when they showed up on his planet, so his actions could have had less to do with the force and more just him hating people showing up on his doorstep uninvited.

@@mmstudios4538 touche

Someone said you need the dark side so the force is not half pounds but if there is no darkness no evil, then there's only good. It's not possible to have too much good and happiness

That requires the entire 'Clacka' to be Force-Sensitive, which while possible, isn't too likely. However, if a few or simply one Bilar were Force Sensitive, if the Jedi tried really hard, they could get the rest to like them and serve in Temple Security, the Jedi Service Corps, and/or the Antarian Rangers while training the force-sensitive ones as Jedi.

@@xenomang3149 while it is infinitely unlikely, if the stars align through the force (or by Jedi/Sith interference) and enough Bilars became force sensitive and formed a “Clacka” the feats of Force usage would be legendary. As for trying to get a Clacka to like them and training a force sensitive member of one to be trained probably would not end well since they are a group think thus trying to separate one of them from the group for training would probably be fruitless assuming the force sensitive bilar does not lose the force ability once they become a clacka.

Why the jedaii

Are true force users

@@Rcampo42 There are no "true force users" just the force and the individual choices of those who use it

@@zombiemaster4525 but the grey Jedi are the true good, anakin , qui gon and ahsoka are what the Jedi should’ve been But now we have the new true luke skywalker

@@Rcampo42 The grey jedi were still jedi. It's just a lesser extreme, and the only true way of the force was to indiscriminately use both without alienating the force

You're a bold one

@@Mago_Espadachim yes

Greetings stormtrooper

That sounds familiar I think I heard that to

sure was...

I think the recoreds were went to the order. Maybe so they can go talk to the parnets later.

There wasn't

Children were never sent to the Jedi order against the will of both the children and their legal guardians regardless of any law that the Republic of Planets may have pass in their system of representatives, of which the Jedi are not members and are only ever invited to sit in and provide council on special occasion. You'd have to fanfiction a behind the scenes Jedi conspiracy to mind control the entire republic to say it was the Jedi using the system to kidnap children if that's your angle. Regardless, they also extensively interview every child brought in, as they did with Anakin, to make sure they actually want to become a Jedi. If not, they are allowed to leave and lose their sensitivity over time as all living beings do when they fail to practice in the Force. All the Jedi are doing in this is withholding their teachings from potential Sith, which is both moral, and not amoral.

Meditate on this I will

maybe he never met Toyadarian

Well, hate to burst your bubble but I can comment before the video is live lol.

@@geetslys Lol indeed

Hmmmm... YES!

That would be the single most powerful Jedi, IMO. The Sangheili would be 100% dedicated to following the Force and letting it guide them, leading to a stronger Jedi by far to all other species. Not to mention that they can pull a 750 lb Spartan III out of a MAC turret with just one hand and against that Spartan's will, then held onto that Spartan while he wiggled enough to turn completely around. This all while not using any bionic enhancements or mechanized armor. (Brutes are even physically stronger, by the way, being able to ragdoll a 1000 lb Spartan II, or being able to stand with only a slight stagger after a 1000 lb Spartan II ran up them and double kicked them right in the face. But they would make poor Jedis with all that rage) I know you guys may already know these things, but not everyone reading your comment would understand why you're so very right.

@@Will_Forge this just makes me want a force sensitive spartan 2

@@osets2117 technically a more soldier oriented dath vader😂😂

Generation tech would like to know your location

Sith are harsh but fair but I would prefer generic Dark jedi haha but honstly above all else those who seek to truly master the Force both light and darkside.

So... They also accept bilars?

well yeah, they want the dark side.

"Welcome to the Sith. Murder your master, or die trying, or die at the hands of a rival Sith. It's your choice, but don't let the gravity of this choice stress you out. If you can't make up your mind, a choice will be made for you instead. Have a nice day serving the personal growth of your master until they grow tired of you." Yeah, "all inclusive" is the most important thing a faction can be. 100%. Fascist amoral dictatorships are no big deal compared to the terrible threat of very slight exclusivity among those that do the will of *checks notes* "the will of all living things as a universal background Force in the galaxy representing the closest thing to a perfect democracy possible short of a complete galactic neural network hive-mind." Man, the Sith are just the only good guys, because they don't encourage me to be selfless without actually threatening my expulsion if I fail to do so. The Jedi just won't recognize me as master, and that makes me cry so hard at night. At least the Sith recognize my ambition and encourage me to kill them for it so that I can become a Sith master and enslave part of the galaxy with my powers like I want to. I just... The "the Sith are the real good guys" argument is full of so many holes, it's insane.

Only sith deal in absolutes

For the Yautja, the whole life for the hunt thing seems to be cultural. Since Jedi abduct, oh sorry, take the kids with the blessings of the parents who are totally okay with never seeing their children again, persumedly a yautja child could be brought up with the Jedi code, never knowing their cultural heritage.

A Trandoshan, another reptilian species with a proclivity to and even religion dedicated to hunting become the Jedi Grandmaster so yeah, I say they could.

The Yatuja are just basically the Mandalorians, so who knows

I feel like in the Starwars universe, the Predators would be honor driven bounty hunters
