redrikkiredrikkiI wonder to what extent the Order as a whole knew the Sith were back and that Dooku was one of them. Obviously The Council and Anakin knew by RotS, but did the average Jedi have a clue? Was Obi-Wan sworn to secrecy about who/what he and Qui-Gon had faced on Naboo?
Obviously the Jedi wouldn't want to spread it around to people outside the Order that Dooku was now a Sith. Despite leading the opposition, Mace was defending him as late as AotC and his bust had a place of honor as one of the Lost 20 in the Jedi Archives. Bad enough that the general public thought that the Order (and the head of the Order at that) had raised a traitor. They would never live it down if it got out that they had raised an evil wizard.
How would the knowledge that one of their own had gone so catastrophically Dark Side effect the Order? Especially considering that he was Master Yoda’s former padawan? Would it make them question their beliefs in Yoda and the system or just strengthen them? They had to know he was at least working with Dark Siders considering he had Ventress running around being evil on his behalf. They would have considered it their righteous duty to kill him just for being Dark, but for being a Sith?
Alright, gang, let's get this discussion started!second_evtales
wingletblackbirdPros and Cons of the Jedi Order: Their Intent and Where They Lost Their Way
An analysis of the Jedi Orders doctrine, their hierarchy, their relationship with the Republic, and their relationship with the general populace to analyse what they did well in achieving that goal, and where they finally failed.Nepotism in the Jedi CouncilIn my post Pros and Cons of the Jedi Order: Their Intent and Where They Lost Their Way, I discussed the problems that come with a Council that choose their own members with no external sway. Hence, I decided to look a little further into Council Members in TPM and identify the lineages therein. I noticed some very interesting things.
Let's Free the SlavesThe issue with the Jedi Order's handling of slavery on Tatooine, or in general, is not that they did not immediately rush to free everyone when they heard of it, but that they did not pursue the means to do so properly due to the interests of power, greed,, and the biased "greater good".
The Development of Jedi SchismsHow Jedi, or groups of Jedi, might interact with the Council. What was tolerated and what wasn't? How authoritarian were they?
The Duration of Human Jedi ApprenticeshipJust an observation of how odd it seemed to me that Obi-Wan was twenty-five in The Phantom Menace.
Flesh and the ForceWhether or not violent injury, and cybernetic replacements will truly impact your ability to touch the Force as has been suggested.
This Weapon is Your LifeAn apologetic's perspective of Obi-Wan's oft-quoted "This weapon is your life." That phrase is actually pretty neat.
The Origin of the Jedi Recruitment of Young ChildrenA look at the history and mindset that might have lead to the Jedi insisting on taking children to the Temple so young.
This Attachment FoolishnessHow the Jedi in the prequels held a warped view of "attachment." Did it really mean "no love"? Or does it just mean "letting go?" Is there a difference?
