I Miss This So Much, Shout Out To Michael For Keeping It Going On “Small Beans”
Kame Fukuro wait what?
@@wolfania small beans his UA-cam channel
Beans
I looked at small beans I can't find anything like these videos
I'm like, "Dafuq?"
Always remember, only Sith deal in absolutes.
ONLY sith deal in absolutes.
ONLY.......
+tashaem1 images Ayn Rand with a red light saber (she is Russian too)
+tashaem1 To contradiction and beyond!
Dude, you just blew my mind.
+tashaem1 Yoda is Sith lord confirmed.
+Isaac Oliver Ayn rand would be neither, because she would be neutral
You forgot Jedi Librarian. A decade and a half of your life (at least) spent honing your lightsaber and rock levitating skills, only to end up sorting Holocrons under the Dewey Decimal system.
or talking to plants
the only bright side to ending up as a Jedi librarian is that they don't get enlisted into war and don't have to train future child soldiers for a infinite chess game
....is it wrong that that sounds *amazing* to me? You just gotta use the autistic Jedi
I feel like Katie had most of the best lines in After Hours, but Dan's, "The galaxy's on the line, Riddler!" might be my favorite of all.
Best episode of Star Trek is when Picard was taken and turned into a sith lord but then he was rescued by the rebel federation. And because of this he was able to tell them where to fire photon torpedoes to blow up the death cube.
I just wish they'd stop constantly releasing new versions with CGI tweaks to Spock's ears and Piccard's bald head.
When Khan tells Picard: "Jean-Luc, I am your father"
"The best episode of Star Trek" and "Pickard in a single sentence without "was not in" or "did not feature" is a contradiction.
I guess that battle though, it was too short and conveniently over, because one shot in the right place...
wait...
so the Death Stat was merely a make work project to stimulate the economy?
Bernanke in space?!
Damn you Keynesians, you've ruined my favorite movie and left me upside down on my house, in real life!!!
From the very depths of hell, I stabbeth thee!
+Sic's Space I think the Federation made a huge mistake when they built the Borge Death Cube Mark 4 in the shape of a sphere. No way any lucky Jedi pilot could have made that shot trying to manage the 90 Degree corners of the original.
Qui-gon's mission to settle a trade dispute was interrupted by
1. Being ignored
2. Being attacked
3. The discovery of an invading army
Good point
+snellavision really
+Alexander And instead of trying to get back to the other Jedi immediately, he wastes time betting on Anakin and beginning the destruction of the republic.
+GREATGAIWAIN their ship broke down and needed parts from jibolba, owing money of which Qui-Gon didn't have so he made a deal with jibolba for the parts and Anakin and his mother's freedom. the only reason why she died wasn't because of slavery; she was living with her cousin and his wife Owen and Beru when Tuskan Raiders stole her.
+Pip IV you would think they would have phones or some way to communicate that he was stuck on a planet and needed a ride?
The empire actually did not abolish all slaver, they abolished slavery against humans.
Correct.
yeah, tell it to the wookies
Not really, There just isn't any mention of human slavery in the SW films after TPM. Not mentioning it isn't the same thing as it's absence. But the not mentioning this is also true of the midiclorians, and the not so clever rewording of the prophecy from bring balance to the force to destroy the sith, and bring balance to the force. As Kate says, bad movies have bad stuff in them, hence, bad movies.
well that's a start ain't it?
why are you talking about star wars in a star trek video?
So I'm reading the comments...and NONE of this shit's about Star Trek...
Lol.
Mitsurugi2424 It is highly illogical.
Vicente Parker you mean "illogical, this is" my above comment made it clear we arent taking about Star Wars
Mitsurugi2424 WOWEE I HADN'T NOTICED.
Vicente Temes well, now you are infomred
Aside from potentially causing distress, Jedi having children with each other makes a lot of sense.
Happy After Hours!
Truly the greatest of holidays as it happens multiple times a year!
+FeatheredCrow "Wrist things so it wouldn't fall off." Like a Chinese broadswords "flag"
Love the bit at 5:26 where Michael gestures and Dan acts like he choked for a second.
Also right at the end he waves his hand when he says his poetic bit and they all agree with him in unison lol
I love how the guy with bleeding in his brain won this argument.
Quality! After Hours is so so good. Keep it up guys :)
Hey! All time conspiracies, love you guy.
+Alltime Conspiracies didn't know you chaps were into Cracked as well, NOW I DEMAND EMPIRE RELATED CONSPIRACY! AND MORE STAR WARS LISTS! AND MAYBE SOMETHING ABOUT CRACKED!
+Alltime Conspiracies I just realized After Hours are conspiracies for movies!
+Alltime Conspiracies Isn't your profile picture the old CBS outro?? i.ytimg.com/vi/Ae5NNf6XMCg/maxresdefault.jpg
What's this a crossover episode??
Anyone else caught that moment where Michael used "force shut up" on Dan?
But what was Katie doing to her arm?
+Jeff Thomas she was creeped out by his use of the force
+Jeff Thomas nothing
+Rwister Oh yeah. Hehehe.
+Jeff Thomas she maybe felt the cold of the dark side :)
The 'you're too old to train' bit is just the first test, one to test your conviction. The second test is not looking into the nozzle of a saber while turning it on.
+Janine Cat "What's this button for?"
Janine Cat Exactly.
If the applicant is young, tell him he's too young. Old, too old. Fat, too fat.
Actually the code forbids forming attachments. It says nothing about boning someone you don't give a shit about. They are all in peak physical condition, and they have an innate empathic awareness of when they are hitting it just right. Trust me they were at the top of everyone's booty call list.
This
I was thinking of saying this since I am just watching to catch up and wanted to say something
So friends with benefits are allowed? Or would it just be like a job thing where they're picked at random?
I normally assume that people don’t bone random people just for there physical fitness.
I meant like a magical choosing thing
Here's a mind fuck: in the 6th Star Wars, Leia says that she can remember Padme, and that it seemed Padme was always sad and lonely. This means that Leia must have been with Padme til she was at least four or five, since there aren't many people who are able to remember their toddler years into adulthood, unless it was something very traumatic. But in the third Star Wars, they kill Padme right after she gives birth to Luke and Leia, so Leia NEVER spent anytime with her! Leia either lied to Luke about remembering their mother, or she could apparently have out of body Force experiences while she was a fetus.
+BoundbyCronus the force is an all encompassing energy it binds the entire universe together masters of it can use the force to see the future or even look into the past in episode 3 wee see padme look directly at her children and they look directly at her. Leia could most definitely have remembered her via the force as both her and luke have strong sensitivity to the force
Then why can't Luke remember her then? He seems to be much more sensitive to the Force than Leia does. Vader senses the Force in Luke, but not in Leia, then she suddenly becomes sensitive to the force to give her hope that they will win the battle? It sounds very Deus Ex Machina to me.
***** they are twins and pretty much equal in initial sensitivity but he had training therefore he is more powerful but even than not all jedi perceive the force in the same manner. despite being more powerful than anakin Yoda could never see the future as accurately as anakin did when he saw padme's death each jedi and force sensitive has there specialty in the force
My favorite part of Star Trek is when they shoot a guy into space and force him to watch bad movies.
and then a bunch a robots with plungers say Exterminate!
+Tängled Cable Mèdia and then that grandpa and his weirdo grandkid stutter and belch in the background.
I like the bit where he takes a swim in the lake, and comes out all dishevelled.
+CyricZ MST 5000!
+CyricZ
I like the part when they go back in time, and meet Thor, and then go fight Hitler in the future but Hitler also has robots and then Thor and some other dude show up.
What would Star Wars be like without Jedi?
It would be Firefly, and that's fine by me.
Firefly, Andromeda, Star Trek, Mass Effect. Pretty much any sci-fi universe.
boring
Firefly without the wit and humor, perhaps.
Farscape.
I miss Afterhours. Actually Cracked in general. This proves that all great things in life can't go on forever. I wonder how these four would take that thought and connect to some movies.....
You guys do know the whole point of the prequels was to show how wrong the Jedi were about everything right? Sex being forbidden, but they had no knowledge of medichlorian heredity. Jedi can only be trained from birth, but Anakin and Luke did just fine. Love and attachment are paths to the dark side, even though a LOT of Jedi stayed good despite secret relationships. There are only ever two Sith because they can't ever get along, even though there used to be LEGIONS of them. Even the nature of the Dark Side and the Light is incorrect. Jedi can perform evil just as easily as Sith can do good. The true nature of the force isn't good or evil, it's your focus and will to act.
+hozz101 That is why Grey Jedi --- Who divert from the Jedi Code and/or use both sides of the force are the most balanced.
***** Yes! Anakin was definitely forced into that role thanks to the council's misunderstanding. But I wouldn't quite say the Sith were weak or over emotional. After all, Sideous once said to Luke, "I can feel your hate. It gives you FOCUS, makes you stronger!" Feeling anger and love are just ways to acheive focus, like meditation. It's just that the Jedi's oppression over the Sith is what caused Sith like Palpatine and Dooku to turn evil. Even the Sith Code doesn't mention evil or galactic domination, it only mentions freedom. The best examples of true Sith and Jedi are Ahsoka Tano and Asaj Ventress from the clone wars. Ahsoka was a Jedi who, thanks to Anakin's teachings, understood the value of emotions, so she left the Order, because she knew there was something wrong with what they were doing. Asaj was taught by Dooku, but after being betrayed by him, she eventually gave up assassination, aided certain Jedi, like Ahsoka, and even had a secret relationship with Obi-Wan.
Samuel Leumas Being Grey doesn't necessarily make you more powerful. It just means you see value in the teachings of both, making you more well rounded. But utilizing all teachings will make you a little stunted in both. There really isn't a single best way to attain power. All you can do is hope to be born with good genes and live a lifestyle that suits you best. A calm and collected Jedi, a sympathetic Sith, or a balanced Grey.
***** Sideous wasn't killed by his own emotions. He was killed for being an evil tyrant, by his fellow Sith Vader, because he loved and wanted to save his son. A Sith brought balance to the force by killing an evil Sith for the sake of a Jedi. And why did Sideous become evil in the first place? Because he was raised in age when the two sides were at war, Light is not inherently good, and Dark is not inherently evil. And neither is more powerful than the other.
that is why grey jedi are closer to the original jedi from 25000 BBY than the jedis from the prequel and SWTOR/Kotor
Crazy how this video animated Obi Wan watching young Luke through binoculars
The Jedi seem to have parallels to the medieval clergy. Monks and Priests were often hypocrites, who instead of being celibate, pious and modest, often were rich, greedy, and some had mistressess and children. Thankfully, there were reforms.
And the church did nothing bad ever again...
@@iambicpentakill And no other churches were formed, which would exploit humanities worst aspects.
The real reason the Jedi are idiots is because they allowed themselves to get stuck being civil-service flunkies. Instead of being mysterious heroes who appear in times of great need, they're like the interns who get stuck with all the jobs none of the regular employees want to do. Rather than trying to eliminate all EMOTIONAL attachments, they should have eliminated all POLITICAL attachments. They never should have had their main Jedi facility located on Coruscant. They should have all lived and trained at a secret base hiddden on a planet stuck in the Unknown Regions, with only Masters venturing out when they sensed a great need through the Force. If they wanted to keep a presence on Coruscant, it should have been isolated from all (non-Jedi) outside communication. Anyone who wanted to petition the Jedi for help would have to camp out in front of the big, sealed, front door, and hope that there was actually someone inside the dark, silent building that would eventually notice them.
but then we wouldn't have had any of those fun political subplots!
Thing is: Jedi are supposed to be monk-like figures who ignore all emotion for the sake of their extremist views (yes, they have extremist views). They should not be a governing entity in any fashion, nor an enforcing entity. The Force was supposed to be a religious way of life, not a way of becoming a military power with ties to politics.
*Instead of being mysterious heroes who appear in times of great need*
Fuck off with your superhero bullshit. There's enough of that crap in the cinema already.
That...would definitely not work. The jedi were already cut off enough from galactic society enough that despite the fact that they regularly save the galaxy, their entire order was wiped out without a galactic upheaval.
Order 66 is like if everyone working for the FBI were killed off by the military for working against the president. We would obviously flip our collective shit if that happened, but the galaxy sort of just collectively shrugged at that exact thing happening in the star wars galaxy, indicating how far the jedi were outside of the public's view.
And your solution is to make them even MORE cut off from the outside world? The thing you're talking about is less of a religious order and more of a terrorist organization.
@Korben Heagerty Ah, but in my scenario the Jedi Masters (and maybe Knights who were candidates for Mastery) would actually be going out and righting wrongs instead of just being bland government bureaucrats, so the common folk would have a better perception of them. Plus the Jedi wouldn't have to abide by the ridiculous disarmament foisted on them by the government. Imagine a small fleet of armed ships piloted by Jedi Masters showing up to enforce the Council's will at Naboo instead of a lame, unarmed diplomatic ship carrying one broken down Jedi Master and his apprentice? Or more likely the Jedi wouldn't even have waited that long, instead showing up at the manufacturing facilities for the Trade Federation droids and forcibly 'convincing' the Nemoidians not to create any droid armies that could destabilize the Galaxy.
I always liked star trek. I used to watch it every day after school. McCoy was always my favorite. "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor not a bricklayer!". That's gold right there, Jack.
Oooohh! I love Star Trek too! The best episode was when Jar Jar Binks killed the death star, using his awesome valyrian sword, after escaping from the Crematoria prison!
As a kid, I was so sure Leia was calling Han a "scruffy nerve-hurter". I was taken aback by the nerf hearder revalation years later.
Pretty solid comprehension, actually.
They enslave the wookies though
How many Wookies in the Orig Trig did you see other than Chewie?
the empire enslaved wookies its on wookieepedia starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookiee
*How many Wookies in the Orig Trig did you see other than Chewie?*
Laods, in the Christmas special.
Also loads in the ending scene of Return of the Jedi in the remastered version where they show people celebrating on multiple planets, including Kashyyyk.
2LegHumanist They don’t show Kashyyk in that montage.
they are so right captain Kirk was the dumbest Jedi lord in the star trek sequels :3

+dakota geary TOO! MUCH! HERESY! MUST! BLAM! HERETIC! TO! MAINTAIN! UNIVERSAL! STABILITY!
And this is why the Knights of the Old Republic universe is so much cooler.
The biggest issue I have with the Jedi is thier code. They teacher them from their earliest ages to suppress or ignore perfectly natural feeling instead of teaching them how to deal with those feeling like actual people do. It amazes me you don't have more jedi flipping out and going rogue.
This popped up again, after years. Never noticed how hard Swaim worked to sell his black eye. Man, I miss these.
Okay for the record Anakin was trained by one of the best in the business, greatness is to be expected and he's not that far off from the age most padawans are trained from. He was what 8? Thats pretty young and he had the reflexes already from pod racing. These were natural gifts.
Second Luke didn't really defeat anything. Vader was trying to turn him, let him get pissed off and pretty much got his ass kicked because he didn't want to hurt his son. The emperor was thrown off the balcony by Vader not Luke, so I dont know how you came to the conclusion that was his doing.
+blacktee31 Anakin wasn't trained by one of the best. He was trained by a snarky apprentice who happened to complete his basic training. Obi-wan should not have trained Anakin, he was too young to take on an apprentice that old who has attachments. Qui-gon should have been the one to train Anakin but death screwed that one. Anakin was 10 when he started his training and that's the range of puberty so by the time he starts pulling of some major feats of strength his hormones are already making him egotistical, and self-centered. And yea Luke got played by Vader.
Raknarroth Look keep your personal opinion about characters personalities out of it. Anakin had natural talents that made him a bit more gifted, he had good instincts that were eventually taken advantage of by someone who was supposed to be extremely influential and powerful(how else does somebody become a world leader). Obi-Wan also defeated someone not even his master could handle one on one, why? Because he exceeded expecations he was immensely talented and you see Qui-gon even have a bit of a passing the torch moment with Obi-wan letting him know he was ready. That's why in the next film he's a member of the council, they dont just pick anybody to be on the council, Duku even talks about how he was held in such high esteem and if Anakin wasn't such a hot head they mayve been able to take him out. Obi-wan was obidient with Qui-gon if anything btw.
10? Girls hit puberty around 9 or 10 Boys hit puberty at 12 or 13. Im also pretty sure thats not how hormones work. Hormones make you prone to mood swings like anger, sadness,etc thats all about emotion and Jedi are all about control. Ego is a personality trait and has nothing to do with emotion. Anakin was arrogant probably because he was already being treated as a special case and was extremely talented despite being "late" in his training and that had to do with the Senators influence on him constantly whispering in his ear and make him resent and distrust Obi-wan.
Whoa not inciting personal opinion at all, in the first 3 films any time Obi-wan has a conversation that disagrees with what he feels is right he has a snarky comeback, which Anakin picks up on. Episodes 2 and 3 are riddled with back chat from the two. I'm not saying Obi-wan wasn't talented in episodes 2 and 3, he very much was, but based on the way he acted in 1, he wasn't the best choice to train Anakin.
In girls, puberty usually starts around 11 years of age, but it may start as early as 6 or 7 years of age. In boys, puberty begins around 12 years as age, but may start as early as 9 years of age. While you're right with Anakin being treated differently because of his "Chosen One" destiny, his main drive to being a Jedi was to fight those that impose their power on others, with a side note to impressing Padme. He even says it in episode one that he wanted to come back to Tatooine and free the slaves and in Episode 2 his first reaction to Padme is that of a hormonal teenager. The strong emotional ties driving those goals are caused by his pubescent hormones.
+Raknarroth all though obi wan called qui gon master obi wan was still a full fledged bona fide jedi knight a jedi takes on a padawan after they have had there trials and are officially given the rank of knight . after watching his master die in front of him controlling his anger and defeating a sith he was given the rank of knight Obi wan was one of the most powerful jedi he had power that some of the councle members didn't even have he survived the clone wars and order 66 thats how powerful he is
houseofaction Right but it takes years to gain the rank of Master and take on an apprentice, which Obi-wan, by the end of Episode 1 still wasn't even a knight. In between Episodes 1 and 2 Obi-wan takes the trials and acquires Knight status and eventually Master but we are told that Obi-wan is Anakin's only master. So we are missing information about the events between the two movies. Obi-wan is a powerful member of the order, and learns techniques few can hope to master, I'm just saying by the end of the first film he's not ready to teach Anakin.
Jordi has force powers. you can see when he is able to realize the warp drive was about to explode, but he managed to fix it right before the borg came, AND right before the computer announced it was about to explode
my favorite line
sith and jedi are just two sides of the same force balancing dumbass coin
LOL
Mandolorian's for life.
Chrono Mitsurugi you know what's better than a Jedi?
Mandolorian life is pretty much perfect. You get jacked, you hunt creatures, you have a ton of positive role models, Mandolorians even have a truly equal gender society. Everyone hunts.

My favorite part was when Kirk and Spock figured out that Vaal was a computer.
Man, I miss you guys. Could've used you the last five years.
They all completely forgot to mention that Qui Gon takes anakin because he thinks he "will balance the force." It seems that literally every Jedi forgot that there were thousands of Jedi in the order and 2 Sith that they didn't even actually know about. If they trained him it would only be bad for the Jedi in that context. lol
fuck it I'll ask.

Are you serious
Through this entire video I was expecting Micheals hand movements to accidentally move objects with the force in background or something. Anyone else notice he silenced Dan with a wave of his hand just after 5:25?
What was Dan saying when Michael did that?
To be honest, The Rule of two thing with the sith should've applied to the Jedi because the reason why the force became unbalanced in the first place is that the Sith kept their numbers low by having their apprentices kill their masters while the jedi built up their order like crazy.
Not true because in the Clone Wars cartoon, Darth Maul mentioned that it was the clone wars itself (caused by his master PalpSidious and Count Dooku) that caused the force to become unbalanced. It had nothing to do with the Jedi being huge in numbers because when Darth Vader killed them off, it didn't bring balance to the force. It only led to further imbalance because it's like creating a tsunami wave, it destroys all life and all it's left is chaos and destruction. Only when the Sith are destroyed does it bring balance back to the force.
The only way that would work if the Jedi allowed would find a Force Sensitive child, rate if they were worth training, and if not... they would kill the child.
There's stuff in the series about Force Sensitive beings using their power to dominate normal people. Really, the Jedis were trying to take this anomaly that no one can truly predict and turn them into productive members of the Galactic Society instead of them getting too heady with their powers.
My interpretation was that the Sith were the unbalancing factor in the Force, which is why they got stronger the more the Force went off-kilter.
It's like how a balanced breakfast isn't 50% healthy food and 50% Crystal Meth cut with PCP.
lnsflare1 But a healthy lifestyle is 50% rigid rationalism and 50% emotional investment.
I'll have look up again why Darth bane created the rule of two. used to know it but forgot
My favourite scene in Star Trek is in TNG when present day piccard is in the future being attacked and nearly destroyed then outta fahken nowhere the old 2 IC guy flies in and just poof obliterates the bad guy.
Spock is my favorite Jedi. My favorite part with him was when he flew in the tardis with marty mcfly to hogwarts
I've never heard of any of the Star Trek characters they mentioned, must have all been from Deep Space Nine.
Seriously though watch DS9, it's the best trek since the first.
"Take one for the Galaxy my young Padawan." I've thought about using this as a pickup line.笑
0:55 - Word for when Katie references the most important moment in the life of Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOOOO---!"
My favorite part of Star Trek was when the Borg cube assimilated Alderaan.
DS9 is clearly the best series in Star Wars
+Haphazardization I fucking hate DS9 TNG man TNG
Raknarroth DS9 disagreed with many people because it evoked a lot of thought and emotion. TNG is a fun ride though, I just value the depth and realism put into DS9 more.
yea I was pretty young when it was on so not a lot of thought went into what I watched back then
+Haphazardization DS9 is the most underrated of The Star Gate Wars. It did what no other Trek War truly accomplished; being a sci-fi character study. Outstanding cast, great character development. I would highly recommend DS9 to any Trekkwarian.
At least in Star Trek we know how to build space stations without glaring weaknesses. Even the Cardassians.
"candyman, beetleguice, shazam!!" all characters that their names make them appear, thats the new topic swaim was yelling at the end
This was good stuff. Sad it’s over
But the Empire is a Fascist state, slavery has not been abolished and there are all those forced laborers. Life is difficult for those no in the inner circles, and aliens might as well kiss their sorry asses (or whatever they have) goodbye because the Empire is extremely racist!
Though the Jedi were dogmatic and close minded in their philosophy and action they still held the Republic together for dozens of crisis's. They are all well trained and powerful individuals who make lasting differences in those they seek to help. Though I would call them misguided and naive they are still a Force for good in a greater galaxy.
+Chandler Hull The republic government was as racist, it was more corrupt, it couldn't prevent war over a trade dispute and slavery is worse still than forced labor. All this under the benevolent protection of the Jedi. Also, the building of the death stars must have been a massive boon to the economy, think of the jobs created!
P.S.: Cloned lives matter!
+Chandler Hull not really clear how they are fascist. The only actual Empire locations we see are colonies, which seem to have no real government oversight except when except droids land with top-secret government files, or are large moons serving as military bases. We never see any actual cities run by the Empire. And just having a military doesn't innately make you fascists.
and where is it that they say that the Empire is racist? We never see the storm troopers out of their armor and only hear a few of them talk.
what forced labor camps?
and what difficult lives? Luke's aunt and uncle work on a water farm, yeah, but so? they were poor farmers living on a distant colony, it's not like they are going to have the best lives, but they still chose their lives. Luke's uncle was a farmer before the empire even went into effect.
+Sebastian Ferguson Chewbacca was originally a slave of the empire before Han rescued him. That's why Chewie and Han are so close because he owes Han his life.
The Empire was Human first, that's how they were fascist. Admittedly this was all in the books and promotional writings, not really the movie proper, hence why it's not that obvious.
+Lindsay Terrio I don't know, there was that one line that ever so subtly hinted at the Imperial attitude, from the first movie no less:
"Where are you taking this...thing?"
Crom Cthulhuson I dunno, if I never saw a Wookie before, and heard one roar at me, I'd think it was nothing more than an animal also.
Lindsay Terrio Ok, slavery in and of itself is not a downright evil thing. Look at the romans. And there's a LOT that was cut and re-written between drafts and promotional material when it came to the original trilogy. Just look at Atop the Fourth Wall's review of the Star Wars comics, adapted from the very first draft of the star wars script
finally an After Hours video, I can stop clicking refresh now!
I just stumble on to this LOL. It is crazy but also has some good points to it.
I will have to go through more of the Cracjed Star Wars episodes.
These Cracked After Hours videos are among the best "click bait" titles on UA-cam.
Math does lead to the dark side!
Maya Melzer lol 😂
Star Lords was clearly the best jedi in the guardians of the star trek wars movie
"I try, but I see Brian Mills."
I lost it at that point.
this video is so great!
God, I love Star Trek! I really hope that they're able to create a new series in the JJ Abrams universe or one that takes place in the original one. What do ya'll think?
Actually, each race can produce more than one Jedi master. In the prequels, there was a Jedi master that was the same race as Yoda on the Jedi Council.
Yaddle, yes.
I'm kind of hapoy someone else remembered that
I thought, Michael Swaim already decided on calling the original trilogy, "The Orig Trig"?
they think being angry will turn you evil. no, just no.
The midichlorians don’t actually ruin the Force anyway. They were never stated to generate the Force. They were just a good metric for how powerful someone is because they’re attracted to it.
Cool, thanks for un-ruining the prequels for me.
every point was good besides the Empire being good because the Empire in the Ahsoka book went to the moon she was on told them that they either work on the farms under their control or they die and it turns out the crops they plant ruin the soil so they can never plant anything ever again ruining their lives
And farming was the only job their btw
Brenton Barrong And they replaced the crops they were growing with a crop that would deplete the soil and leave it worthless. I guess the empire never heard of sustainability.
My only question is that when they talk about how Qui-gon was asked to do negotiations but ended up just fighting, my question is didn’t the “negotiations” include Qui-gon and Obi-wan almost being poisoned, hence the crazy adventure and fighting
I wish I could contain myself like The After hours cast when I'm making dumb arguments with my friends.
Also proof that Jedi are assholes. They prefer inaction, they would rather sit back and meditate to The Force. Mandalorian Jedi Hunters *KNOW* this fact and makes them effective killers.
Sith have the capability of being good, look at Darth Vectivus for example. He was more of a Chaotic Good, being that he was ruthless, but more like a shrewd businessman. He died HAPPILY and COMFORTABLY around his family. That is why there aren't taught about him in many Jedi Academies, Jacen Solo NEVER heard of him.
Working on established Canon (the films, most of which I hate), rather than the EU (the novels, which I love to death):
Consider the fact that the Force itself has pan-galactic influence, and can affect the physical world either through individuals attuned to it or through sites of accumulated life and violent death. Also, consider the fact that it manifests itself in the form of organelles within the cells of hundreds of galactic species, each having undergone their very own evolutionary cycles up until the time of the movies, allowing every one the possibility of coming into contact with it.
Lovecraft used to write about such things when talking about eldritch Elder Gods and Cthulhu. It comes as no surprise that the Jedi would consider the long view (aka the "butterfly effect") of their actions prior to doing so, as each action _resonates_ within the Force. Also, they _know_ over their long ass history that the Force is as a lightsaber, capable of cutting others as well as themselves, if used in a manner without consideration of the consequences, or at least the perusal of other "mundane" solutions.
As for the Sith, in canon, they are retarded teenagers playing with a loaded gun. No consideration of the aftereffects of utilizing magical bullshit upon living beings (ALL OF WHICH are connected to the aforementioned Lovecraftian Elder God), no efficient means of keeping a civilization afloat (the Empire, all of its works), and no comprehension of the possibility of defeat (Maul, Tyrranus, Vader, Sidious, etc.).
Sure, the Jedi are like Tolkien's ents personality-wise, but like those self-same walking/talking trees, they have to live with others in Fangorn Forest afterwards, regardless if they planted a few more saplings or burnt everything to the ground. The Sith, carrying the analogy along, are like the orcs that came in and raped the land, plundering without thought of the future.
Except that the whole thing got bad because they sent ninja assassins to negotiate with the Trade Federation instead of actual ambassadors. Their passion about keeping things the way they want cost millions of lives. Had they actually not gotten involved, the whole thing would've been little more than a change in power on Naboo.
I got bored so I am here to tear apart this 2 year old video.
1. The Jedi didn't want a massive army of Force Users running around. That happened in the EU and it didn't end well. They want a manageable size. They knew if there were Dynasties of Jedi that the Galaxy would suffer for it, and the Jedi would be looked at as this elite ruling class and come to be feared making it easier to overthrow them.
Side Note: How does Palpatine come to defeat them? By turning the Galaxy against them, blaming them for the costly war and saying they were trying to overthrow their elected officials.
2. Jedi are allowed to have sex and even father children. But that it needs to come with the understanding that you are not beholden to them above all else. Ki-Adi-Mundi the Jedi Master with the tall head has several wives and children. This is because his race has a low birth rate so he is permitted so many. But the Jedi Masters know a Jedi is going to get his Dick Wet eventually and yeah may produce a child or two. But they want that Jedi to be loyal to the cause above his children because he could be compromised. Kinda like how Vadar was when he betrayed Sidious.
3. Jedi use Lightsabers because the weapon resonates with their force power and makes it easier to use than for a simple non force user. So its a weapon that feels right. Also its more practical for regulating how powerful the Jedi appear to be. Why does a Jedi need a blaster? Do they go out hunting people down with the intent to kill? If they were armed to the teeth every time you saw them you would assume so right? If every time you saw a Cop they where decked out in full Swat carrying an assault rifle and a tear gas launcher (Grenade Launcher?) you would assume this guy is loaded for bear so to speak and eventually if every cop looked like that you would hardly call them peace keepers, they would be a occupying military force. And Cops can't throw cars at you with their minds. So seeing a guy with a limited reach weapon like the saber while you have a blaster makes you feel more at ease, even if the Jedi can deflect your blaster bolt back at you and kill you without ever needing to touch your gun.
4. HA the empire didn't abolish Slavery, they Abolished HUMAN slavery. So yes they freed the human slaves. But for example lets look at the wookies, all are slaves or hunted for sport. Their entire home world is turned into a breeding farm for slaves. And these where the guys fighting FOR the republic. The Twi'lek people are STILL enslaving themselves and being enslaved by others. We all already know this because of how specist the Empire is. They didn't make things work they forced thing to work the way they wanted no matter who it hurt or killed. Orders from the Clone Troopers where harsh as fuck like Order 37. Which means if the Empire wanted to catch someone and they thought this person was in your city. They would round up all the civilians and begin killing them one by one till the person turned themselves in or till they had to move onto a new city because they killed all the people in that one.Now yes it was an order of last resort and it was rarely used but it was on the books and at least performed on the rare occasion.
Side Note: In case you do not get how fucked up this is, imagine our soldiers going into a city in the middle east and rounding up all the men, women, and children there because they got word terrorist were in the city. Then they said unless someone turned the terrorist in or the terrorist turned themselves in they would begin killing the civilians till they did. Hardly something we would call a working system of a just government would we?
5. Well we are not clear, the Academy could be anything, the Rebels could have had their own Academy hidden from the Empire to train their rebels. But its possible its an Academy inside the Empire. But it also may have been the only way to get off world. We have heard of kids joining the army to get out of town and start a new life.
6. The Empire was evil not because of the Sith in charge but because of the system they set up. Humans where the top species and they looked down and treated all others as inferior because they saw it as them being just that much better. The Human leaders and generals in the armies where far more cruel and vicious than the primitive species they lorded over. Remember it was not the SITH who ordered Alderean to be destroyed but Tarkin a normal every day human admiral who had no force powers but was given power to dominate whomever he wanted because the Empire didn't care.
I love this comment. So well put.
This comment should have more likes
Another point they missed was Luke wanting to go to the Empire's Academy. Even though he really wanted to go there in order to jump ship to the Rebels.
At least the Jedi didn't kill trillions of innocent people.
Oh wait, they did.
This happened in the EU, which was later re-branded Legends.
But none of them seems to ever have to go to the bathroom.
AWESOME! You guys are super funny.
I love this series
Thetan levels! I came. Xd
"Bring balance to the force" .......Considering the Jedi are everywhere and the Sith are a super minority, balance would mean the rise/spread of the Sith. Yoda and those other ass hats are supposed to be wise?! They should have killed the young Anakin and kept their so called republic going.
(Although personally i wanted the darkside to win)
"Bring balance to the force" refers to the idea that the Sith, and the dark side, were not meant to exist. They were a mistake and balance would be the destruction of the dark side completely. Vader did in fact bring about this kind of balance in the movies when he killed Palpatine, the prophecy just didn't really say "oh. yeah. He'll also wipe out the Jedi."
That being said, by the Clone Wars Era the Jedi as a whole were largely corrupt as an organization, having moved away from their original mission statement as peacekeepers and increasingly into politics. So that could also be seen as bringing balance.
The third way you could interpret that is the fact that, in the old EU, Luke becomes closer to being a grey Jedi than either Jedi or Sith. Grey Jedi believe that the light side is not inherently good and the dark side is not inherently evil. The powers that come from each side should both be used and taught. The separation is more in how the powers are used.
While i get your points. From my perspective....Balance - a situation in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.
With only the "good" users of the force ie: the Jedi being the vast majority it only seems natural that balance should mean an opposing force ie: of evil force users Sith becoming at the least on par with Jedi.
Although i don't think the Jedi are good and the Sith evil, it's just the Jedi are pro life and the Sith are not. In their own way both groups are vying for their own sense of order. The real job of the Sith should be to promote utter chaos in contempt of any order in the service of entropy..
I always thought it was bringing balance as a whole new doctrine. I expected Luke not to be light or dark, just a balanced guy that his friends call The Dude.
Actually originally the Force-users were just one group, they split up because they had different visions on the force. So the Sith were not meant to exist but neither were the Jedi.
@Gareth Jones actually... The Sith doctrine is more "might makes right, let your emotions control you", while Jedi philosophy is "emotion leads to entropy, order is essential". It's less pro and anti as it is two extremes of a spectrum, and the balance being the centerpoint of listening to both emotion and logic.
I don’t appreciate the prequel slander, but to be fair they had no way of knowing what horrors awaited
My favourite part of Gate Trek Wars was when Captain Jack O'Neill convinced Seven of Nine that the Doctor was teaming up with Rassilon to destroy Anubis' Death Star, but it was actually Captain Braxton hijacking a Silurian signal to convince the Vogons to attack the Twelve Colonies, thus freeing up the Cylons to wipe out Jar Jar Binks' species before Spock could get them onto the Asgard's list of protected planets.
Fortunately some big damn heroes showed up just in time.
Anakin and Luke don't count becuase they are literally the most force capable beings ever.
And how is that not showing force powers are hereditary? Leia is force sensitive!
That makes them count even more wtf
Comparing Anakin and Luke to other Jedi isn't really fair, one of them is the Jedi messiah, and one was literally created out of magic to be the most powerful space wizard of all time.
One of the primary reasons the Jedi take children young is so that they can instill in them the proper mindset needed to use the force without becoming corrupted and turning to the dark-side. (Every single Jedi that isn't Luke that we see learn trained after childhood is a Sith. and Luke cheats). because things like emotions or a desire for power are all it takes to start becoming corrupted it is vitally important that the Jedi are able to monitor every step of a force sensitive child development. Ideally most of their days would be spend meditating or reading philosophy or some such, with the occasional light-saber training with yoda being a fun activity/reward for their continued progress, (after all who wouldn't want to swing a laser sword around).
Teaching Anakin the way they did was dangerous, they made an exception because of the prophecy and look where it got them, slaughtered in their own temple! they also made an exception for Luke but that was because they needed him to be able to fight Vader almost immediately after h began using his force powers (otherwise Vader would have sensed his presence in the force and come to take him away) there were simply not enough Jedi left to protect a padawan at that time. and once again it was dangerous, there was a large possibility that Luke would fall to the dark-side, Vader saw this, which is why he offered Luke the option of ruling the galaxy together. (something he would not have done if he foresaw zero possibility of Luke accepting it.
Wertsir However, what you just said proves their point that force powers are hereditary and it makes no sense to forbid Jedis from bonning. It's not like they're affraid that this'll cause sith, cause there already are a lot of siths that don't have a jedi mommy and daddy
Also, you just kept on supporting their argument. Yeah, Anakin got special treatment but look! He and some dumb-ass stormtroopers kill all the jedis!
All the jedis! The sandman and the most incompetent sharp shooters in every universe kill the galaxy's elite force trained from childhood!
Plus, the whole Paly cloaked their mind thing? How could Palpatine cloak every single Jedi's brain 24/7 so they don't see their impending doom?
Simple! They're all dumb
Still missing you guys!
My most favorite episode to date;)
"pass the peas" "there right there"
he's clearly eating soup
Wow
force ghost can only appeal on force strong place like plant field planet
+federico ramirez And Hoth?
+federico ramirez That's why if you strike them down they will be more powerful then you could ever imagine.
Also, I forget where I learned this, but I'm pretty sure there is some kind of ritual that has to be done in order to even be a force ghost.
+Dj Quinn I've heard that too, but when the fuck would Anakin/Vader have gotten around to doing that very jedi ceremony? And yet there he was, ghosting around like Tupacon stage with P Diddy.
+Joshua Pearce
Yet another example that the prequels were written poorly. They don't adhere to continuity.
Man I love this show. This is one of my go tos when I want something playing in the background when I do stuff
8:30 LOL!! "Thank you for watching this episode about Star Trek" I literally almost did a spit-take.
Well not completely true the empire tollerate slavery there are races used as slave a lot... especially not humans like wookiees
and as for humans having the most Jedi... well humans are the most numerous species in the galaxy, and effectively the "baseline" species, high reproductive rates, ability to survive just about anywhere, boom, lots of kids, and the law of averages says there is a higher chance of them being force sensitive, so even though some species are naturally more inclined towards force sensitivity, the simple fact that humans outnumber them by several orders of magnitude means there will be more human Jedi
HAHAHAHAHA good job guys!! didnt expect to laugh this much!!
I remember when captain Janeway came back from the future to help her past self get home faster, which in turn caused that future to have never happened, which means that she couldn'tve gone back in the first place, even though she did.
Time paradoxes are fun.
So... conclusion... Star Wars sucks.
+Incubus Lord It feels good that people are finally coming to their senses.
+Incubus Lord No no no it can't be.
+Incubus Lord no no, Jedi, Sith, Force sucks.
+Incubus Lord Game over man! I don't believe it nuthin' anymore...I'm voting republican! Trump 2016!!
MonkeyspankO a vote for Trump is a vcte for being Great again.
Even by this religious logic they fail to understand.
They lost me when they thought the empire would make a good society.
+David O'Neal (OnealStudios) they did make a good society....
Paul Patriot
yeah and all the people grieved over the lost of the empire by celebrating there defeat.
David O'Neal 1 fucking planet celebrated,so what.
Paul Patriot
Coruscant, Bespin, Naboo, and Tatooine shown them celebrating the fall of the empire. Also I haven't heard any good comments of anyone from any other planets from the side shows that fill in the gaps of the movies that the empire was doing any good. I heard more of how much suffering they are causing.
Now if they show the empire growth without the sith then I may rethink it. But the Sith created the empire. So its bad.
David O'Neal the sith are the good guys....
I miss these videos
I spit out my drink when Michael said "Take one for the galaxy". 😂😂😂😂😂
Too true, the Jedi are really shit.
I'm a star wars fundamentalist, the prequels are non-cannon
lmfaooo rightt
Alex Pardo We don't know what the clone wars looked like
GenericFakeName they're so damn long too
Lol. oh god, your not gonna start preaching & blowing shit up are you...?
pantslizard MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU *blows up a space station then hides in a cave*
Lol the Bryan Mills line killed me!
Remember when the droid army fought Sith 8472 with a shit-ton of death cubes... but lost?
"Resistance is futile. Search your feelings. You know it to be true."
I LOVE the part in Star Trek where Greedo shoots first.
Except..Han did.
awesome video haha
I'd love to hear them do more Star Wars theories with the new movies out and such
I don't care how good your arguments are, seeing Ben Kenobi as a trailer trash hermit and Mini Luke in a Speeder-kart made this episode amazing.
