Wow i am glad i found your channel. This wisdom goes deeper than star wars especially when examining Right Hand Path vs Left Hand Path. Many project the Jedi(Right Hand Path) as being strictly conformist. But evidently there is a greater freedom to be had.

Say what you want about the sequels but Ben Solos arc in those movies is what connects it to the saga for me. The original heroes died to bring back the last skywalker Ben. Also he rises out of a pit in episode 9 hence the title. Alot of Christian parallels in episode 9 which i appreciated

The Acolyte is such an emotionally immature show. It thinks it's deep and subversive, but all it really does is espouse infantile selfishness and abandonment of any responsibility. It's Sith to the core, but doesn't seem to understand why that hurting people to get what you want is at all a bad thing.

"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know best how to undermine you. Tell me of your greatest fear, so I know which I must force you to face. Tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you. And tell me what you crave, so that I may deny you." -Darth Plagueis

And why its also toxic to take star wars seriously, sorry man.

My answer before I watch the video. I grew up regarding Star Wars as a sort of modern mythology. I looked up to Anakin as a personal hero, someone who tried his best and still failed, to then be redeemed by family. The rise of palpatine taught me the dangers of placing too much trust and power in the hands of one person, a lesson that has proven it's value in the real world time and time again. The teachings of Yoda are (I kid you not) on my mind almost daily, keeping me focused on the day at hand and avoiding the quick and easy path. The series never was perfect. New Hope feels much slower than I remember it being. Empire is still pretty good, and I probably the best movie in the series OBJECTIVELY speaking. Jedi might be my least favorite of all 6 star wars movies, with the Rescue from Jabba taking WAY too long and ruining a character I really liked from Empire (Boba Fett), and I have little to no love of the whole endor plot, the whole movie is redeemed (ironically enough) by Luke's confrontation with Vader and the Emperor, the music, the cinematography, the action and the stakes are all top notch for that final scene, and is the main reason I look forward to watching it. Phantom Menace might be the one I enjoy the most (hold your stones), even when watching it recently in theaters I still came away with the biggest smile on my face, from the music to the action, to the interesting world building, all the way to the performances janky and stilted though they may be, the film is oozing passion and creativity and I can't help but enjoy it, even with my older brother going "oh god please no" in the theater when Jar Jar showed up. Attack of the clones is probably tied with Jedi for my least favorite, even as a kid I didn't care for the whole Anakin and Padame romance plot, but once again, the music, the visuals, the world building, and the action carry an otherwise poor film HARDCORE, easily nudging it ahead of Jedi in some regards. Revenge of the Sith is easily tied with Phantom Menace for my favorite. In addition to just about every reason I love PM, the climactic ending with Palatine's rise to power, order 66, and the Mustafar duel help set it above the rest. If I had to order the films it would probably go: 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 2. Not a popular order, but the prequels really are special to me, I know the original trilogy is superior, and I love the sequel trilogy, you know the one, the heir to the empire books (maybe one day they'll continue the story on-screen), but the way the prequels expanded the world still has me hungry for more twenty years on. TLDR; I love Star wars, I love the world George Lucas created, by attacking something like that, not just a story, but a mythology, you attack something more core to who I am as a person, and that is something I shall never stand for.

Great analysis

Live long and prosper, Gandalf.

Great film makers

0:00 I think the stain-glass thumbnail says it all. Its lowkey evangelicalized, the sequel trilogy somehwhat threw shade at said evangelicalism &... thanks to this take in real time, I feel less as bad with how Episodes VII - IX played out despite having no concrete context with what happens in any of them. 7:59 And why the most "Non-Skywalker" Saga segments of SW prior to '24 pushed the envelope in their right & would include the Clone Wars that still managed to feature Anakin Skywalker; Oh, & Andor sequencing into Rogue One without exception.

To borrow from the Bible: 2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. For to shew thyself approved and unashamed is the gift of grace.

You guys have really nailed this in a mature way. Escapist stories, comfort stories, what have you...they're important. Especially as we grow older. Life changes. Your perspective changes. You'll probably stumble and make huge mistakes, or something terrible will happen to you. Sometimes something as simple as rewatching a favorite movie can make a huge difference, and help someone come to peace with their life, and maybe help the next generation. "Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all Masters." -Yoda

I believe it was Luke Skywalker, who in 'The Legends of Luke Skywalker' said "the galaxy is knowable. That's real magic." Storytelling by its very nature and intent makes the world knowable. After A New Hope, a trip to the desert will never be the same. After The Empire Strikes Back, snow and swamp will become great battlefields and familiar dreams. After The Phantom Menace, you can see where the largest cities in the world can get larger still. Suddenly the mundane can become as magical as it was when we were kids. And all it took was looking at it from a different perspective that's also designed to entertain. That's nothing to huff about.

The best movies work in layers. There's a layer when you can just sit back and enjoy the ride, but there's also a layer where it resonates on a deeper level.

I love all of the movies and tv shows

what a video

I just want to be delighted. I don't want to be bored by mindless action or pseudo philosophical debate.

Trying to get into Joseph Campbell's stuff. I'm trying to overcome some serious problems and need direction. Great post!!!!!!!!!

It's ok to take your passion seriously, what's not ok is when fanatics go to extreme and are ready to hurt people. when passion becomes violent. I say its too much. Let's all just enjoy this great IP and stop telling people to slay themselves when a bad one comes along... Although $300 million still breaks my heart knowing it could have been used on better SW projects or fund 6 more space launches.

Completely agree, people have been teaching and learning morals and ethics through stories, parables, iconography, etc. literally for eons. We aren't going to turn that off just because we make films now. It actually gets enhanced by visual medium. People will learn from what they observe even if they observe something without the intent to learn. It sticks in your brain and can be recalled later when you are trying to figure out what actions to take in a similar situation. It's called implicit learning in the research community and is something I studied while earning a PhD in Education.

I'm not sure I agree with the view that there's a lot of attempt at philosophy in star wars; I think there are clumsy attempts and philosophical themes, but Star Trek far surpasses in this area.

Why do we take modern mythology so seriously ? Answer: always have

George Lucas used Sorcery to make people obsessed with it.

How did this come to my recommended it’s perfect exactly how I felt

I've always watched movies not just for entertainment, but to learn from them. Luke's unwavering perseverance, his refusal to lose faith in his father, reminds me that hope can pierce even the darkest of shadows. Aragorn's humility and quiet courage as a leader reveal the strength in gentleness, showing that true power lies not in force, but in guiding with heart. And Captain Miller, in Saving Private Ryan, embodies sacrifice and duty, teaching me that sometimes, the most noble acts are those that go unnoticed, done for the greater good, even when the cost is everything

A story is not only for escape your daily life struggle and duties. It should also have a lesson and teach something important in life or to surpass difficult struggle. Sometime the author of a story,movie, comic,etc.don't do this directly but at the same time it make a story that it identificated with us somehow and show us important things in life.like star wars and other fiction movie and book. I like to create a comic with a amazing story but at the same time a message of surpassing your limit and struggles. Seriously or not you take a story it should have a meaning and teaching and most important have a soul in every word. Keep up the great work you guys doing 👍

As fun as escapist entertainment can be, I find it harder and harder to watch movies and shows without them making me think of something in my own life or in the larger world. Maybe trying too hard to escape from reality only makes it have more control over your mind (oh, that's pretty Star Wars). And if you're going to watch the Star Wars movies over and over again, why not analyze them in different way? I love what you said about stories being a way to see the world through different pairs of glasses. Okay, long comment over.

Thank you, we need more stuff like this. This is so very true.

Honour… it’s as simple as that cause that encompasses all he mentioned

“What makes a good king” competance and worthiness, if you are incompetent, you cannot rule, and if you aren’t worthy, the people won’t let you rule, *NO MAN RULES ALONE* all your power lies in the people believing that you having it is in their best interest, you better make sure to maintain that image or illusion.

Good content man

Charles Dance performance is great but he is very charismatic and unfortunately why some people don't understand that Tywin's whole philosophy is flawed from the start. In the books, his pragmatic facade falls apart if you look closely: warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2014/09/04/the-lions-fury-tywin-lannister-and-the-psychology-of-brutality/

Actually one of the few characters that i think is better in the show, much because of Charles dance, book Tywin Kind of lives a lie and ultimately fails in his true objective, preserve his ego and “legacy”

The only laws I obey are the laws of physics.

Well said

A scene that embodies Tywin Lannister! Charles Dance brought him to life. What 8s the music by chance?

At its best, the acting and writing of this show was superb, Such a shame that it was so off-handedly betrayed in the later seasons.

No one tells the cold hard truth like Tywin..... you can't help but respect how grounded and well spoken he is

dump the music. quit hacking up good content. make your own.

There is always good and evil but it all about the people choices to do good or evil let’s face it no matter how flawed the Jedi was they were right for not trusting Palpatine he is a Sith Lord in the end of day needs to be stopped. Also best not take any words from the TLJ Luke seriously that version of him wasn’t in his right mind because balance of the force in the light side while the dark side is corrupted and the unbalance.

That person you seek to become has already happened my man. Know it because you are it.

Solid work. I was just explaining this logic to my friend and searched this quote to show him. Your in-depth video is beautifully executed.

From this video it seems the Jedi practice avoidance, and claim to know about everything from books but not from experience. That's fine and probably leads to a more stress free life. However, if you were struggling with addiction, for example, would you want a councilor that only knew about addiction from books and school, or would you want one that had experienced and successfully conquered addiction?
