Star Wars A huge acknowledgment of some of George Lucas’ biggest criticisms of Jedi and Sith.by new Ahsoka In the show, new Force-sensitive mercenary Lord Beran Skoll (Ray Stevenson) and his apprentice Zin Hardy (Ivana Sahno) debut as neither Jedi A warrior, not a Dark Lord of the Sith. This is due to Belan’s deep-seated belief that the galaxy is inherently flawed, with many of its problems stemming from the fall of the Jedi Order.

As stipulated in the new regulations Ahoka In the show, Beran Scoll and Sin Hardy are considered the “Dark Jedi”. Essentially, they believe they are more than just Jedi. Star Wars’ prequel trilogy, Belan confirmed this when referring to his training of Sheen Ahsoka Episode six. However, he also revealed what he misses most about the Jedi Order of the past, confirming a critical criticism of both the Jedi and the Sith, as well as the galaxy as a whole and its complex history spanning thousands of years.Highlights from the movie Star Wars’ Founder George Lucas.

Star Wars acknowledges the galaxy is locked in a cycle of light and dark

While waiting for Grand Admiral Thrawn Ahsoka In Episode 6, Beran Skor talks to his Padawan about the fall of the Jedi Temple. As a young man, Beran Skorr was a Jedi Knight who watched his life and everything he once knew burned down with the Jedi Purge and subsequent rise of the Empire, setting the stage for the Sith and the dark side. paved the way for his rise to power. He then shared his belief that the history of the galaxy is an ongoing and inevitable cycle, with light and darkness constantly battling against each other without end.

Therefore, Belan’s real goal is not to have himself and Sin ally themselves with Thrawn when he returns to the galaxy to revive the Empire against the New Republic. This will only continue the cycle. Instead, Belan is looking for something else that can permanently break the vicious cycle, providing the galaxy with a new beginning, perhaps one more in balance with itself (or so he thinks).

The cycle Byland is referring to is quite accurate, dating back to the fall of the Infinite Empire in ancient times, then the Old Republic with the rise and fall of the Sith Empire, the gradual decline of the High Republic during the heyday of the Jedi Order, and in the prequel Republic, The Jedi were wiped out, and Palpatine rose with his empire. Now that the Sith have been defeated, the Empire is all that’s left in the wake of the New Republic, not to mention the First Order and the Resistance in the sequel.The cycle of conflict between light and dark is why Star Wars called Star Wars.

Beran Skoll was right: the idea of ​​the Jedi was better than reality

Shin asks her as they travel across the extragalactic world of Peridian in search of Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Ezra Bridger (Iman Esfandi) ’s master misses the Jedi Order he once belonged to. In response, Belan replied that he missed the ideals of the Jedi Order rather than the truths and inherent weaknesses that plagued the Jedi in Republic-era reality. As such, this further highlights the real flaws plaguing the Jedi Order, confirming the issues that led to the Order’s own downfall, as first shown by George Lucas in the prequels.

As seen in the prequel trilogy and The Clone Wars, the Jedi have indeed compromised and become weak. The Jedi Council was overly proud of their power and plagued by hypocrisy. The greatest act of hypocrisy came from their decision to serve as Republic generals and commanders during the Clone Wars, effectively becoming soldiers, which led to further acts of hypocrisy rather than being the guardians of peace and justice they were meant to be. According to their own norms and principles. To cover up their mistakes, the Jedi made it easy for the Sith to destroy them.

Star Wars has embraced criticism from Jedi and Sith — but can it correct them?

by Baylan Skoll Ahsoka and the past Star Wars Luke Skywalker and other media the last jediIt’s clear that over time, criticism of the Jedi and Sith’s ongoing cycle of light and darkness has been accepted.it is not only part of history Star Wars Galaxy, but it’s also part of the legacy of the entire series. To that end, one has to wonder what Skoll plans to do, and what kind of power Belan is looking for on Peridea to break the cycle and usher in a new beginning.

However, The Future of the Galaxy with the Resistance and the First Order suggests that Belan’s quest will ultimately fail. Likewise, this new power may end up being too powerful for Skall to handle, especially considering that even the Great Mother has tried to run away from it, believing it to be greater than herself.Exceed Ahsokathere may be other ways to break the cycle, such as the upcoming Star Wars Movie starring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker. Set against the events of the sequel trilogy, it has been confirmed that the upcoming film will feature Rey as she attempts to create a new Jedi Order.

The hope is that Rey’s new Jedi Order will learn from the mistakes of Luke and the prequel-era Jedi. Perhaps a new generation of Jedi can break the cycle of conflict for good. However, maybe the cycle needs to be broken with something completely new, something more in line with Baylan and Shin’s current situation. Thrawn seems to be a means to an end, and they believe they are neither Jedi nor Sith.Maybe a new group of Force users more focused on balance is needed Star Wars’ The ongoing cycle of conflict.

Ahsoka New episodes are released every Tuesday at 6pm PT / 9pm ET on Disney+.
