The pride add up before the fall . The Jedi Council knows this all too well . The Jedi Order was much at the peak of its power during the Prequels oftheStar Warsfilms . They sat extremely on their perch on Coruscant and in their hubris , even in all probability forget that their temple is still built on top of an ancient Sith Shrine .
Needless to say , sustain this much self-assurance in their mode have led them to commit mistakes that eventually snowball into Sheev Palpatine ’s Galactic Empire . What ’s worse is that they could have preclude some of these if only they were more unprejudiced or participating . Too spoiled these 10 mistake have already been committed which is n’t too uncollectible as it led to moreStar Warsfilms but still …
Dabbling Into Politics
While he ’s politically aware , Obi - Wan understands that a Jedi should n’t interpose in thing that are n’t their arena of expertness . Case in item , politics . As he said himself , he ’s not brave enough for it . Too bad the Jedi did n’t share his fear of courtrooms and podiums because they very much had a hand in the flipping the Senate . Then it turns out the Senate is actually Sheev Palpatine , or more specifically , he command it .
The Jedi walk right into Palpatine ’s trap and accidentally helped the Chancellor become more powerful . If only the Council had abstained from meddling into politics , then Palpatine would have had a much harder metre paint them as a power - thirsty cult and thus gaining support .
Suppressing Anakin’s Emotions
To be clear , Anakin Skywalker does have destructive tendenciesand would now and then put himself or others in danger thanks to his unprompted emotion , and this was something that needed to be curbed . However , whatdidn’tneed contain was Anakin mourning his mother ’s expiry as well as his anger .
The Jedi do have their code about controlling passion but instead of help issue , this only bolstered Anakin ’s baggage and angst . sure enough , there were better ways of teaching him to allow go of attachment or how to apportion with excited pain other than ignoring them or severalise him to get over it .
Letting Darth Maul Control Mandalore
It ’s dependable to say that the Jedi were whole unprepared for the unveiling of the Sith . They handled it rather poorly and lost aJedi Masterin the procedure . Then there ’s also the fact that they let Darth Maul run rampant and even let him take over the whole planet of Mandalore , give more mogul to the Sith . Their reaction ? Send Obi - Wan alone to deal with it . Beside , it ’s just the Sith — why take that ancient terror seriously ?
Thing is , Obi - Wandidn’ttake precaution of thing , so he had to call for for backup . Only then did the Jedi Council send more clones , right after the damage has been done . They lose some worthful allies in the process .
Baselessly Exiling Ashoka
Here ’s another instance fromClone Warsthat perfectly showcased just how arrogant the Jedi Council can be . That , and it also displays how they ca n’t even do anything right . Here , they deport Ahsoka Tano on mere suspicion alone and did n’t even confirm whether she was involved in the bombing of the Jedi Temple or not . This despite her being one of the most powerful Jedi in the Clone Wars and someone who could have helped after monastic order 66 was carried out in the Jedi Temple .
Anakin did try out Ahsoka ’s innocence and showed the Council just how incorrect they were , but Ahsoka already get word a more worthful lesson from the Council the daylight she was exiled : the Jedi don’tlook after their own .
Not Making Anakin A Jedi Master
The Jedi Council not only wronged Ahsoka but also her closest friend . establish on their distrust as well as the hint that Sheev Palpatine is up to no good , they invited Anakin over to the Council as a pseudo - member and his only task was to spy on the Chancellor . Not only was this political meddling once again , but it was also an contumely to Anakin .
They could have just give him the task first without wedging him into the Council as a Jedi Intern with zero practical privileges . This was another bump to Anakin ’s Jedi alignment and allegiance , and even further prove the point that the Jedi are defective at expect after their own members . Besides , they basically turn over Palpatine a new learner !
Mace Windu Wants To Kill Palpatine Right Away
For all of Sheev Palpatine ’s crimes , even something like a quick death would n’t have sufficed . Hehadto be try out and punished . Even Anakin retrieve of this , butMace Winduwanted to take subject into his own hands and made a swift and rash judgment on behalf of the Council to kill Palpatine . Oddly enough , they did plan on just stop Palpatine but Windu change his idea .
The thing is , if Windu only listen to Anakin , then they could have reversed Palpatine ’s plan of make the sympathy of the Senate . After all , Anakin was there as a looker along with three all in Jedi Masters as grounds . There was really no motivation for Mace to bound off the due process , but he pay for that dearly .
Not Training Luke Or Leia Earlier
It was rather authoritative for the Jedi Order to regain solid terms after getting wrecked by order of magnitude 66 . That ’s why they needed everyForce - tender soulthey can get . Even other Jedi such as Ahsoka clamber to spare these said souls or even pucker them . That ’s why it ’s nonplus to see the Council , or just Obi - Wan , decide to specify both Luke and Leia aside .
He had the capacity to take concern of at least one of them and shape them into a formidable Jedi without needing to hurry training afterwards on . After all , he was in the same place as Luke already , so what was finish him ?
Obi-Wan Lies (From A Certain Point Of View) To Luke
talk of Luke , wad of his trauma ( both strong-arm and psychological ) could have been prevented if Obi - Wan had been more transparent with him . In fact , Luke could have stay fresh his hand if only Obi - Wan told him that Darth Vader was in reality his father .
If Obi - Wan only told everything beforehand , there ’s a gamey hazard that Luke would n’t havefaced Vader prematurely– even though their first clash is one of the most iconic motion-picture show moments in account . Even Luke himself call into question Obi - Wan ’s Trygve Halvden Lie , which were supposedly true from a sure point of view . Yeah , right Obi - Wan .
Not Taking The Sith Seriously
In addition to lease Darth Maul take Mandalore and not acting rather , it seems the Jedi Council brushed off the Sith threat as Qui - Gon credibly having had too much gin or simply put , not take him seriously . This was even after Qui - Gon died to a Sith Lord .
One would bear the Jedi to be more wakeful afterThe Phantom Menaceand start up investigating any potential Sith leads , but they played government and warfare or else . They also neglect much of the signs revealed to them in theClone Wars . The worst offender is Yoda , who really saw Anakin becoming a Sith in a vision .
Going Into Exile
Last but not least , one of the biggest mistakes of the Jedi Council ( or what was left of them after ordering 66 ) was going into expatriate . bet at you , Yoda . candidly , stay in some godforsaken swampland major planet whilethe survivor of the parliamentary law 66picked up the firearm and risked their lives to deliver younglings and Force - sensitive individuals reeks of selfishness and ego - righteousness .
Even Obi - Wan is guilty of this as he elected to grow former and do nothing in Tatooine , or else watch over over some farm boy who he knew was a Jedi Master in - the - making . He could have at least dedicated those wasted decades to help some Jedi stragglers or training Luke rather of expect for him to get assail by Sand People so he can make a weird entrance .
