This makes sense to me... if there are many Dark Side users/orders that are not the Sith... same can be said of the LIght side... the Jedi and Sith are not exclusive users/owners of The Force.

Basically Plo Koon was so OP, trained with the Baron Do sages to learn precognition and the ONLY JEDI to beat Yoda in a duel, he was so OP they had to give him a stupid death otherwise he would've stopped Darth Sidious.

The kel-dor sages actually went underground so they weren’t rediscovered until Luke restarted the Jedi order. Though Luke didn’t exactly ask any of them to join a few did join the new order on their own terms and serve with distinction in the Vong war and the second civil war. Luke never gave them actual membership just saying if you would like to join but on your own.

[Tekkaman]

These other light side organizations sound really interesting. They each figured out how to understand and use the light side in ways that worked for them. The fact that some of them didn't like how the Jedi did things or even that the Jedi took Force sensitive children to train. I didn't know that there so many different light side organizations besides the Jedi. I think it makes sense that the others don't have light sabers, or even know how to build them. Great video.

The Star Wars Galaxy is a vast place and there is no doubt that there probably hundreds of thousands different interpretations of the light side of the force. It would be interesting to see Luke seeing or interacting these other force sects.

There was another organization that used both the Jedi and Sith, they were the Jensaarai. More like the Grey Jedi in outlook. They hoped to achieve a balance while using the Force. They created imbued Armor instead of building a Lightsaber.

I've always wondered if there were more "expressions, " of the Force. Like you had the witches of Dathomir, and the way *they* used the Force was different from the Sith, and yet they were both Dark Side users. And then you had the magic used in the Ewok movies(yes, I know they're not regarded as canon, but it would be interesting if that one element be canon), where the Ewok elder showed an image of the giant beast. So I had figured there must be different ways in which different groups used the Force. I'd love to see more of that.

[daz]

It's really cool that the lore is so rich. I didn't know there were so many organisations.

[creepyypaper]

I wish there was more grey Jedi stuff in cannon. When I was a kid I loved using all grey stuff on kotor games. Who doesn’t wanna use dark side powers without being even? And also wouldn’t that serve the balance of the force better than anything?

[rookiedrifter]

There's the Matukai too. They're my personal favorite; they don't really use the Force extrinsically, instead channeling it through their bodies and doing things like enhancing their speed, strength, agility, stamina, even their immunity to poisons. They were basically whirlwinds of melee combat that never got tired, and the most experienced of them could actually physically harden their own bodies so it'd be like you're punching Colossus from the X-Men.

They could superheat their hands too and melt shit that they touched. Best part was that, unlike Jedi, they viewed martial arts as a form of meditation, so they'd probably be inherently good at Form 7 if they ever picked up a lightsaber. Though, their giant twirling Force halberds are probably just as effective of a weapon, so I'm sure they're fine without them. Not to mention, it kind of makes them the perfect Light Side Force-Users to actually fight in a war and not fall to the Dark Side. They'd basically just enter a meditative battle trance every time they got into combat. If anything, it might even strengthen their connection to the Light Side.

There is at least one (possibly two) groups of force users I'd be curious to know more about, but I don't know how much information is available at this time (since I think they're fairly new additions to SW cannon). I really like the Chiss navigators (introduced in the new Thrawn trilogy), and they appear to be either a light-side or neutral group that focuses one or two specific powers. The other is whatever was going on with the Lassat in Rebels. The method Zeb used to find the new homeworld really looked like force-use to me, but I don't know if that's discussed anywhere else.

You are a knockout stupendous wave! The most spontaneous Star Wars YouTuber ever! Keep up the excellent work.

[chewywampa]

Woah this is so interesting! Thank you for teaching me so many new factions that had a great effect in the galaxy!

[ben_dover]

We're just going to ignore the Je'daii?
The force sensitive order that existed before the Jedi or the sith.

[makisonoda]

There are many viewpoints to the Force. And each Lightside aligned organization is is valid in their specific beliefs. Jedi orthodox is not the only truth to the Lightside of the Force.

[makisonoda]

All views of the force are valid to those whose practice them. Just because they are not Jedi, it does not mean their viewpoint or traditions in the Force are any less meaningful or advantageous compared to Jedi orthodoxy.

Jal Shey, Zeison Sha, Matukai, Mabari, Altisian Jedi, Ossus Keepers

[commycasty]

They were major rivals with the brotherhood without banners, the people's temple, the talamascans, the greybeards, space Australia, and scientologists.

[raphaeldavin]

You forgot to include Luka Sene, the Force organization of Miraluka, especially for individuals who have stronger connection with the Force, with the purpose as an academy to develop the sense-related powers of its members and protect Miraluka from falling into the dark side of the Force, but it doesn't dictate a member's personal life.

Super interesting video. Thank you so much for the information.
