The Jedi, keepers of the
The Jedi, keepers of the peace, bastions of light and warriors of morality: or at least thats what they want you to believe. A look at the Jedi’s history reveals a startling truth, one that is not so noble or pure, bordering upon the very dark side they sought to destory. Join us as we explore some of the worst atrocities of the Jedi Order, from the war crimes of the Clone Wars, to the destruction of entire planets in the name of peace and the greater good.
But before we start, I’d like to thank Joel McMahon for suggesting this video. Your name will be entered into the VF Saber Giveaway draw. Be sure to comment your lore questions, what ifs etc down for a chance to have your idea made into a video and to have your name entered into the giveaway draw. Anyway, on with the video.
Perhaps the most notable and well known reason why the Jedi were not so honourable as it is often believed is because of the many war crimes their members commited. In fact there are so many, an entire video dedicated to this topic is likely needed. Perhaps of greatest note are the Jedi’s methods of “enhcanced Interogation” raising significant moral questions.
A particularly harrowing example of this contradiction is evidenced by Anakin Skywalker's treatment of the Geonosian leader, Poggle the Lesser. Held captive, Poggle becomes the target of Anakin's aggression during physical assault that escalates to a Force choke. The treatment of priosonewrs in this way is highly morally questionable, even if it was for the seeming greater good.
This kind of violent interogation could be excused as it was done by Ankakin Skywalker, a renegade Jedi who ultimately fell to the dark side, thus absolving the Jedi of responsibility. However, it is not solely under Anakin's hand that such actions unfold. This story is further complicated by the involvement of esteemed Jedi council members such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu. In their quest to uncover the whereabouts of a hidden holocron, these Jedi leaders unite their formidable powers to exert an overwhelming Jedi Mind power on the bounty hunter Cad Bane. This coercive strategy teeters on the edge of violating Bane's mental integrity, exerting such force that it threatens to shatter his mind unless he capitulates to their demands. The fact that the Jedi Orders second in command, not only knew about such violent actions, but partook in them, shows just how far the Jedi had fallen.
Another controversial tactic recurrently employed by the Jedi throughout the Clone Wars has sparked considerable debate regarding its ethical implications—specifically, the practice of feigning surrender during combat. This strategy, known in the realms of international law and warfare ethics as "perfidy," directly contravenes the principles laid out in the Geneva Convention.
In one notable instance during the Battle of Christophsis, the series introduces viewers to a cunning ploy orchestrated by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. In an effort to halt the progression of hostilities and buy time, Kenobi orchestrates a ruse of surrender. This deliberate act of deception serves a dual purpose: it momentarily halts the enemy's advance and provides a crucial window for Anakin Skywalker, alongside his newly appointed apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, to undertake a daring mission to disable the Separatists' ray shield.
Another instance of perfidy is executed by Anakin Skywalker in a strategic maneuver above the planet Ryloth. In a bold and desperate gambit, Anakin presents the illusion of surrendering a crippled Venator-class cruiser. This feint deceives the Separatist blockade into allowing the Republic vessel to approach perilously close. In a dramatic culmination, Anakin's ship rams through the enemy lines, annihilating the Trade Federation's command ship in a spectacular explosion and paving the way for Republic forces to deploy ground troops onto the beleaguered planet.
The ethical boundaries of the Jedi Order, often regarded as guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy,
The ethical quandaries surrounding the Jedi's conduct during the Clone Wars extend beyond their interrogation methods and strategic deceptions to encompass the very manner in which their adversaries are combated on the battlefield. A striking example of the moral complexities faced by the Jedi is illustrated in the actions of Ki-Adi-Mundi, a revered member of the Jedi Council. His directive for the clone troopers under his command to deploy flamethrowers against sentient beings starkly highlights the erosion of the Jedi's moral compass amidst the fog of war.
