Shadowheart is a jedi confirmed
33Her cleric powers don't come from Shar, but from the Force.
When she thinks she's talking to her goddess, she's actually talking to a force projection ghost.

I apologize for a serious response to a funny meme, but for any who are interested in the philosophy of the star wars universe and the unique pressures presented by the existence of the force, check out this video. The whole "danger of attachment" concept is actually linked to the religious beliefs of George Lucas and is an interesting part of the story telling of the relationship of living beings to the force itself in the fabric of star wars. That is, Lucas star wars. Disney seems more ambivalent to the philosophical aspects of the franchise, but it's always been pretty fascinating to me.
22Oddly enough, its only “modern” Jedi’s who think there’s a danger to attachment, the old Jedis never had an issue. Theres also an entire Jedi sect who roam around the galaxy with husbands and wives.
Oh and ki-adi-mundi, who is a Jedi master on the council, who has multiple wives, their excuse is because his race is dying and the males must procreate. Plenty of other masters have had relationships and hid them or didn’t affect them.
So basically, it’s Yoda who has an issue with attachment, and pushes it on everyone else. What happened to yoda that made him so bitter?
32He kept watching Jedi fall to the dark side by losing whatever it was they were attached to. It's like he took the ideology of Buddhism's attachment, where you can fall in love and enjoy things but must accept that they will not last forever, and dialed it to 11
Like Anakin and Padme. There's other examples but that's the most prevalent.
21What happened to yoda that made him so bitter?
One day he was walkin' and he found this big log. Then he rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick and he was like, "That log had a child!". Then a seagull squawk and he said "Listen, boy Someday when you are older You could get hit by a boulder While you're lyin' there, screamin', Come help me please! The seagulls, mmgh, poke your knees"
That's why yoda has issues with attachments because seagulls are gonna come at you. It's either that or yoda used to be an IT guy and everyone keeps on clicking the phishing mail attachments
16Yaddle musta made him look like a horny little creep at the life day party one year after turning down a move
More seriously, Dark Side Yoda from the Netflix finale of the clone wars constantly talked about not being allowed to come out and play,
This makes me think that Yoda had a Ghandi complex, complete with the very weird notions of needing to resist the thiccness to achieve maximum powaz.
11The attachment thing became dogma after the fifth time the Sith turned the strongest of a generation of Jedi against them.
But I'm sure they learned from that and - oh, nope, they all got killed that time. Because this time the Dark Jedi didn't have his redemption arc before the Republic got clapped for good, whoopsie!
4Maybe that's something the high republic arc will explore more in coming years. It seems to me that it's simply a result of the fiction of the extended universe stories being reconciled with Lucas's core story. Different writers perspectives all getting rolled together in to one. Sometimes the writers have a solid, well thought out perspective, sometimes not.

Gotta love people with confidence: "by the end [of this video], there will be nothing left to discuss regarding Star Wars". That's one hell of a lofty goal! I'll need to watch it.
10Right 😅 he is pretty sure of his views. It's an interesting watch, but perhaps a bit pedantic at times. I think he understands the original intention behind the mainline movies storytelling better than any other video essays I've watched.

I'll need to go back and watch more, but I feel this guy completely misunderstands Darth Jar Jar.

Tbf there's been a few confirmations of just how bad the alternative can get
Nevermind situations like the night sisters or sith, a force sensitive child who has no guidance as their powers manifest is about as destructive potentially as an unsanctioned psyker can be in 40k, just via being a planet shaker instead of becoming a living portal via which demons rip their way into reality to burninate the countryside.
19There is no kidnapping, parents can refuse and the students can leave.
The thing is... Why would you say no to the Jedi?
The Good Guys of the Galaxy come in and say, "Hey, we'd like to guarantee your child a future of being one of the most important people in the galaxy, with all their needs met as we turn them into space wizards who fight evil."
They won't even kidnap a fuckin enslaved Chosen One, Space Jesus Christ just think critically for one second.
20Hey, we’d like to guarantee your child a future of being one of the most important people in the galaxy, with all their needs met as we turn them into space wizards who fight evil.
According to a lot of "not movies" media, many people who were trained to be Jedi didn't make the cut. It's one of those things that required a combination of remarkable effort and sheer talent and most people who were potential Jedi just lacked the raw skill to be considered one. As such, the Jedi had a large support auxiliary of force sensitive attendants and custodians who basically took care of the grunt work of the Jedi order. They weren't true "Jedi Knights," but they were a part of the order. They just spent their time scrubbing toilets and doing paperwork rather than banging queens and dismembering enemies of the state with laser swords.
