“It wasn’t being called a coward that bothered me, it was being called a great warrior “…. Damn, that hits deep.

Once again we see that Master Qui-Gon Jinn is the Jedi master that literally was the key to it all in the end.

[SevereWeatherCenter]

Gui-Gin was absolutely right. Had the Jedi listen to him the order would’ve likely continued to flourish after order 66.

[JamesFromTexas]

He was one of the greatest characters ever written and yet we saw so little of him!

Imagine what would have happened if only one JUST ONE jedi council member had listened to Qui Gon Jinn's any idea about the force or future of the jedi and the republic

[TheMorton]

Yoda is like that old person that you go to to get pratical advice or insight about a problem, and they just say "pray about it". 😂

[aricstradtmann]

Well considering that the temple was on a former sith temple you can see that it helped the dark side blind the jedi to the true dark lord of the sith

I always felt that the Jedi Order being based on Coruscant was indeed a mistake. Not only spiritually, but strategically as well. I always felt that the Jedi should have had their main base on a world not listed on any maps, known only to a few chosen and trusted outsiders. I think the biggest problem though, was how the Jedi's activities and beliefs changed after Exar Kun's attack on Ossus. The lessons of the Mandalorian Wars, Revan's intervention in the Mandalorian Wars, and the later Hyperspace Wars during SWTOR should have taught the Jedi that they needed to be proactive, not reactive.

The ban on Jedi having families was also a problem, as they believed that purging their emotions would lead to balance, which does not. The fact that they took in young Force-sensitive children to train, basically like growing plants in a greenhouse, left many unprepared when they were sent out into the galaxy for their Padawan training. Because of being sheltered like that, they were unprepared for the emotions that they experienced. This was further exacerbated by the dogmatic rules and regulations of the Jedi Order, which were actually contradictory in so many ways.

I haven't read too much of the EU and what not, but I feel that Luke should probably model his new Jedi Order more on the Je'dai, the predecessors to the Jedi. I also feel like he should take his new Jedi Order more towards the center between the Light and Dark sides of the Force in order to truly achieve balance.

Personally, I don't mind the thought that the Temple on Coruscant being the main hub for the Jedi as long as there are plenty of other temples for the Jedi to live and stay out in the Galaxy.

[Cluelessgamerrrr]

If qui-gon had survived or at least listened too things would of been so much better for the galaxy

[brokenbridge]

I totally agree with Qui-Gon. The Jedi should've chosen another place for their main temple. Oc-Tu, or Lothal would've been great alternative choices.

[anthonyhodges]

This can make a great idea for a What if story. What if Yoda decided to step down from the order and convinced Qui gon to take over as grandmaster?

[ManOpinionated-onjr]

Yes again a brilliant episode ! I would love here about Luke developing his new Jedi order not based on where New republic resided. Again your concept on Star Wars lore is second to none. 👍👍

[sahl]

Qui-Gon was right. This is why jorus c'baoth wanted Outbound Flight.

[kaidorade]

Qui-gon would have made an excellent council member

[Sp_acecowboy]

Can we get a lore video on the parwan species?🙏❤️

I believe that he was quite correct. As (At least by legends, I don't know if this had been countermanded by current cannon) the temple on Coruscant WAS actually the seat of the council as a whole during the Mandalorian wars. Mitra Surik activated her lightsaber and plunged it into a decorative statue outside the council chambers in protest after confronting the council for their inaction during the war and their stance of exile toward many of those that left to serve. (If memory serves for the latter) That or great demotion or negative sight by the greater order. Which ultimately drove many Jedi to return to Revan and Malak.

That said, the reasons for the Jedi to close off access to the archives without special request and authorization were non existent. The destruction of Ossus was a terrible loss and indeed likely could have been prevented by a larger presence on the planet. At the same time, a simple solution that would have had a balance between "Old" tradition rather than over correction and pointless alterations would have been a rotation of order members of a certain number to be a quick reaction force. As well as having said Jedi feel a connection to the deep force that before Coruscant, the grand temple(s) had been placed over. Ossus was also a planet that bounced back relatively quickly that could have been re-inhabited and rebuilt on. Having a temple on Coruscant itself wasn't a bad thing. Having it be the home of the order was the biggest mistake. At the time of the Madalorian wars, the number of Jedi was far larger than just about any other time in galactic history. But at the same time were also not tied in allegiance to the republic either. It wasn't until after the very first purge and the rebuilding the order that a political connection was made with the republic. At which point the order closed in further on itself until only sects dismissed by the council remained at temples in the wider galaxy.

Qui Gon shutting down Yoda with facts and logic, what a chad

[jaredekelman]

Qui-gon Jinn was Absolutely Right About Almost Everything! If the Jedi had a Lick of Sense they would have Listened to Him! But They Didn't so They Don't.
