I always thought Yoda knew more than he let on. He didn't exactly disagree with Ki Adi. Or say yes or no.
you just like seeing dougs doggy face on box lol
maybe yoda covered it up to find out who what sith behind things which didnt figure out till movies
makes sense and yoda should be in show regardless
I would like to point out that from Czech translation of the show's name, it is obvious the acolyte is a woman. As it is something that must be consulted with Lucasfilm, we can safely consider it true.
Everyone forget about Yoda and his visions near the end of the Clone Wars season 6? He sees some pretty wild shit and then shares NONE of it with the Council. This theory has some legs.
He sees everything. Literally everything
Wild shit
Good point! 💯
Iirc he discussed it with Mace and they decided its better not to tell anything
Umm, was it past/present/future visions though? Pretty sure it was of future events that would happen with Vader, not from 100yrs ago. Just saying
Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. I've never understood why Yoda felt compelled to go into exile after his defeat by Sidious. It doesn't seem like enough of a situation for him to feel that way. But knowing he hid the Sith's return for a century only to be bested by them when the rest of the Jedi found out would make more sense. That would definitely add another load of guilt onto his shoulders.
yup!
could be funny if the jedi know about Darth Plagueis. Maybe they track him down, only to find him killed with a lightsaber. The Jedi don't know that Palpatine killed him. But they probably know more about Plagueis. Maybe even that he tried to save others from a certan death.
That would make Palpatines Line in Revenge of the Sith even more sinister: "It's not a story the Jedi would tell you"
Canonically Palpatine kills Plagueis during the phantom menace
@@dereklasker5350ah yes you are right. My bad😅
@@DrNemoNullus I like your idea though. Could also be sinister if somehow young Plagueis runs into the Jedi and they accidentally set him in motion to become a Sith Lord, starting the chain reaction leading to him training Palpatine/Sidious and the downfall of the Jedi order and the republic
This story is before Palpatine was born dawg
A Bith Lord. *turns TV off.
Best part of the video.
Read the comment didn't understand it and then it happened 😅
Hilarious, I asked for more of this last time they did something like this, I think they saw.
I have a strong feeling that Acolyte and Eclipse are going to give us a lot of insight of a younger Yoda and the decisions he's had to make to keep the order together.
Yes this would be way more interesting than everyone just dying in acolyte.
only according to whoever writ this mess
Would be cool knowing how corrupt the jedi are and yoda just put it together and made it work lmao
It's going to be shite
@@mccleandazza4618 Says who?
Yoda also covered up his romantic dealings with Yaddle
I still think Grogu is their child
Noooooot really.
The editing of this video is a masterpiece. 👏
Doug realizing Ryan tracks his poops
Ryan Arey: the spice melange 😂
Every theory revolves around one shadow guy who no one knows is even a bad guy lol
The misunderstanding about the balance of the Force is big. The dark side is to the force as the illness to the body or crime to the society; in neither of those cases, you look for those to find balance.
Yeh, police maintain the balance. You don’t need equal numbers of criminals to achieve balance
I’ve always thought that the Jedi completely misunderstood the prophecy and the balance to the Force that was prophesied was their culling. No way that 1000s of Jedi and 2 Sith was an environment of balance. The project was Anakin “killing” the Jedi to bring balance.
@@aldotheapache9951 I can see that interpretation, but it's not Lucas's intended message. Star Wars *IS* about good and evil (ignore these current showmakers), and you never need evil to balance the good. You know? Just because I'm doing well in life, doesn't mean I should suddenly get sick to balance it.
@@ian-flanagan I’m not saying it’s a choice. The universe said there would be balance and the Jedi thought that meant one thing and it kinda ended up like a monkey’s paw curse. 🤣
I see a lot of Yoda apologists. The Jedi constantly lied and did shady things. They were the good guys from a certain point of view.😂
Exactly, sometimes being a good person requires you to tell white lies in the moment, then in hindsight you look a bad that you kept something to yourself or sugar-coated something. . .it doesn't necessarily make it the wrong decision.
And were SO entrenched in politics that they lost their souls and their true purpose! Plus, it pisses me off so much how they, esp Yoda, were so dogmaticly rigid that they refused or ignored the clear distress Anakin was under! BECAUSE they chose to allow him to train to be a Jedi at such a late age, special attention and adjustments should have been made! Like ohhh idk... maybe not steal him from his mom and leave her enslaved and just expect him to "just forget about that lady" idiots lol
This could be true but only if yoda knew about the imbalance of the force, the jedi believed that the galaxy being ruled by The light side of the force was balance but that entirely isn’t true
I think Yoda was just too busy worrying about the Seagulls to focus on the Sith . . .
Everyone knows that seagulls are the jedi's greatest enemy
Great reference 😂
This theory is highly speculative AND probable! I love how y’all’s minds work over there!!!💪🏼
“A Bith Lord”😂😂😂 Thank you Colton you made my day
With various things I've been hearing about this series and canon, this is the first I've heard this idea presented, and I think it's extremely plausible. Very well written and presented here.
Why does Yoda have cover up anything? The Sith could’ve been hiding this whole time in the background. They could think that they eliminated them.
Exactly. Characters can be flawed, or wrong, or mistaken; just because Ki-Adi THINKS the Sith are extinct doesn’t mean they are. I’m amazed at how many people can’t seem to grasp this simple concept. They just wanna default to outrage and loudly declare “retcon!”, when there’s absolutely no evidence of a retcon whatsoever.
If the show ends in a cover-up, like you’ve just described, I think it could be some of the best Star Wars we’ve seen post-Disney. That’s a big IF.
You will go for anything
@@pbl5430we haven’t seen the show, don’t start hating because you see other people do it your being a follower.
@@iownstaticz8687 You don't need to see the show to understand a concent and retcon. You should look up the definition of follower. You just might be looking at yourself in the mirror
@@pbl5430facts. It's funny how people on differing opinions often point at others without realizing the hypocrisy of their own
It’s a nice theory but my hunch is the show will unfortunately just be another Boba Fett/Obi Wan.
Interesting to me that yellow is the color of knowledge and the Jedi may have forbidden that. Very reminiscent of the Tree of Knowledge in the Bible, forbidden from Adam and Eve.
Kiadi Mundi could've just been referring to the Sith before Darth Bane and the rule of two.
Side note: Tenebrous was one of the greatest starship builders in the galaxy.
Yoda straight up admits to knowing about the sith at the end of phantom menace, could've just shown the funeral scene and this video would be much shorter. "Always 2 there are"
I was going to say this same thing. Yoda & Mace are clearly aware of the rule of two, which I didn’t think went back as far as a millennia?
@kellyvalence5323 it did go back that far, with Darth Bane. He is the one that created the Rule of Two. By the end of the PTM he would of been dead a little over a 1000 years. I always thought it was a odd that if the sith was working in the shadows the whole time, how did Yoda know about the Rule. The video does make sense of a cover up.
Just mentioned this how it’s super fishy to think Yoda knew the Rule of 2. And unless Jedi encounter the sith post its establishment, I won’t think Darth Bane would just publicly announce it to the Jedi. Lol
Good Lord. You people 😂. He was speaking in general about the well known sith practice. Not about some fuckin cover up. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills listening to y'all dig holes in the canon just to try and prop up this show
@@Soccercrazyigboman well known to the audience (us) or characters in lore?
The Jedi last fought the Brotherhood of Darkness, they internally fell apart, then Darth Bane established the Rule of Two, due to the in fighting. So unless the Jedi encountered Darth Bane or his descendants it would not have been well known.
Would love for this to show the start of the cracks of the Jedi’s fall.
remember how zannah tricked the jedi into thinking the sith were gone
I absolutely believe Yoda knew and covered it up as to not cause mass panic. I think the famous "quote" has to do with the Sith operating in the open. I don't think Yoda is so stupid to think there would not be ANY dark side/Sith somewhere in hiding.
Balance requires both sides
I just showed my partner all 9 Star Wars films for the first time just a couple weeks ago! Her very first impression of Yoda (as someone who knew the look of the character, and understood him as a Miyagi-like cooky but powerful mentor figure) ended up IMMEDIATELY disliking him! She pointed out that both he and Obi-Wan lie to Luke's face in their VERY FIRST conversations, and their reasons for doing so are flimsy justifications at best.
She's gonna LOVE this angle, if this is where the story indeed goes 😂
How did Yoda lie to Luke?
@@Soccercrazyigbomanhe knew that Vader was his father. Kept it a secret. He wanted Luke to kill Vader out of revenge.
Very perceptive.
The species of tenerbris and plaguesis are not confirmed in cannon just the names, we dont even know if tenerbris is plaguesis master. So mae could actually be either of them.
Honestly I wouldn't expect Disney to do any less
@dp6036 i honestly dont mind it cause right now fans are currently looking for any bith or muun so changing up the species would help keep us guessing
Correction: the species of Tenebrous isn’t canon, but the species of Plagueis is. He’s Muun just in legends. If you don’t believe me, go look on the official Wookiepedia. It also states that Tenebrous is in deed his master as well. If you don’t want to believe on this either, then so be it. I’m just stating the truth.
The muuns are basically all banking clans and traders. Hego damask of damask holdings. The plagues book is amazing
I think they will show Darth Plageuis possibly at the end of this show, he's too recognizable a character. Also if you look at thrawn, his entire appearance was not changed at all in his own Live-Action appearance in the *Ahsoka* series, just his whole backstory, was tweaked to fit in Disney Starwars Canon, from EU. that's what i believe they will do here, when all those Jedi show up in the Acolyte trailer, that one hand that catches the red lightsaber; that's either the "Acolyte" figure themselves, possibly Amandla Stenberg, or some other fallen Jedi. But that quick shot of a red kind of mist, and all those Jedi being force-thrown back, that i believe is Darth Plageuis revealing himself, and he will be all CGI, thanos style i reckon. He will possibly take them all out, he may even have his big lightsaber staff.
I can absolutely see Disney going for something like this, that's the big reveal and Leslie Headland did say they've borrowed from the EU and there will be the odd bit of Fan-service, i think that's what she's referring to. they'll just tweak Plageuis age i think to fit their specific timeline.
I do not believe it to be in Yoda's character to cover up a discover like this from the council or other Jedi.
This would ruin the high republic era for me.
Yoda literally said "Cover up this discovery, we must" in the Clone Wars in reference to finding out the Clone Army was created by Dooku. It's 100% in his character.
No one is infallible, and Yoda is no exception. It would also make his exile make more sense, he's taking it hard, because he failed to act 100 years earlier
@@kopskey1this would be different though. The other Jedi knew about the clones with him at that point, and the war was already happening.
This would be him keeping the most dangerous secret from pretty much everyone, when they still had time to do something.
No way Yoda does that. It’s not logical or his character.
@@kopskey1
He said that with respect to the Senate.
Not with respect to other Jedi.
Literally everyone in the council, including Anakin were there.
@@samuelketner1391Exactly, everyone on *the council*. How many Jedi didn't know? We already know the Jedi covered up the Nameless One too, what's this to add onto the pile? Season 6 also shows Yoda facing his Dark Side, and one of the first things the evil manifestation says is "Yoda plays not with me anymore". It isn't unreasonable to assume that Yoda. known for concealing information and keeping secrets, would keep one such as this too.
It really would desecrate the image of Yoda. And it also wouldn't make sense. Given what we've already seen in Phantom Menace. Yoda seemed genuinely surprised by the sith. This show is gonna massacre canon. I can feel it. These fan cope theories are gonna be more interesting than what actually happens in the show.
You know I have always wondered how Yoda knew of the Rule of Two. Wasn’t that established more internally, after the brotherhood’s fall? I don’t see Darth Bane publicly stating to the Jedi, “Hey there is only 2 of us now.” Maybe the Jedi encounter Bane or a few sith after. My lore knowledge does not go THAT deep.
Bane probably wrote down the rule of two in a book or recorded a holocron and somehow Yoda found it and that's how he knew about it, but I'm not so sure.
I have a feeling the Acolyte is going to be a means to an end for the Sith, just like Asaj was to Duku and Palpatine. The Sith are known to groom and hone the darkside in force sensitives to become assassins. There's a very good chance this is just a story following the Acolyte as she's on her personal revenge mission and the Sith that are around are just sitting back and watching the chaos unfold with minor appearances here and there to either guide her or scold her
Hey now! Awesome video. You have been crushing it with the Acolyte analysis. Thank you for remaining a positive voice in Star Wars fandom too.
6:25 I love that you guys caught that dude I watched these movies a while back and saw that same look and it’s insane that this is now a possibility
I wasn’t going to watch this new series but after watching your video I’m now going to check it out.
Be prepared for disappointment when it's not as interesting as anything Ryan said
Liked your take on this a lot. Makes sense.
Another thing you also need to keep in mind is that there was probably a bunch of encounters based on the lore like where it shows there was encounters with people brandishing a red lightsaber, BUT having someone using force choke and a red lightsaber does not make them a sith, which is most likely why the jedi believed in what they believed. a *dark jedi* and a *sith* are two very different things. A dark jedi is a jedi that simply embraces the dark side, a sith is a whoooole other ballgame. So many of these encounters were most likely seen as a fallen jedi or dark jedi or even dark side user vs jedi, not necessarily a SITH LORD vs a Jedi
Some of your best work right here Ryan! Also, infer to Doug that an anonymous stranger wishes him well as best you can.
Regarding the yellow light saber, I thought the Jedi sentinels often used yellow blades, but perhaps that’s legends stuff, any insight regarding this point ?
I believe the research done for this videos has been one of the finest so far of this channel. GG’s love the prequel’s lore.
Only round table I wanna hear discuss this topic!!
A Force user with a red blade isn't necessarily a Sith. It could just be a Dark Jedi.
Maul uses a red blade and he is not a Sith once Palpatine replaces him with Dooku.
This is what I was thinking. SC is taking a leap to assume that a crimson blade automatically means Sith.
very well thought out
The figure in the distance is reflected in the pool of water. A tip that it is someone who flips sides?
Good catch!
To me, a coverup makes logical sense. I always found it curious that Yoda somehow knew of the Sith Rule of Two at the end of TPM. How would a Jedi know that if there had not been any encounters with the Sith in that millennia? That simple statement at Qui-Gon's funeral makes the likelihood of a coverup quite likely, logically speaking.
Because it was created way before that 💀
@@117MasterSpartan It was created at that Millennia point by Darth Bane which the Jedi would have thought died along with all of the other Sith during the thought bomb. At least, that was my understanding. So, the Jedi should not have known of the Rule of Two if there was not some other encounter during that millennia.
@@117MasterSpartanNo, it wasn’t…
This video qualifies as one of your greatest. Wow! Keep em coming!!
Super fun video! Its funny how we can use facial expressions of characters in a movie like 20 years ago or whatever as evidence of something that wasnt even an idea in anyones head back then lol i dig it though and cant wait for this show.
And I'm also not sure we can look at a movie shot 20+ yrs ago thinking that things were planned out this far. Director: "When the subject of the Sith is brought up...we need the animators to make Yoda look like he's hiding something..."
I have a feeling the Acolyte is going to be a means to an end for the Sith, just like Asaj was to Duku and Palpatine.

I can't love this theory more. Y'all got my gears going! 11 days ago If you actually read the Darth Plagueis novel it says his master Darth Tenebrous and his master sent a surge through The Force that let the Jedi know that something was beginning to happen. 13 days ago Didn’t the Jedi council also cover up by sending Quinlan Vos to assassinate Dooku? Do you keep track of my poops?
2 weeks ago (edited) Idk bout to cover but he was foolish & high on hubris. He was around during the High Republic & the slaying of any remaining scattered Sith. He was aware of the Rule Of Two but downplayed it over time It’s always possible by destroying the there could be no balance. There can be 10,000 Jedi knights, but we can’t have one Sith? Wielding a red blade =/= Sith Let's hope the Acolyte is as good as these theories. They were awaiting the return of the Sith empire. They didn’t want situations like Dooku joining them. How much more evidence that the prequel Jedi were shady do we need for people to get it? There is something that makes no sense in the Palpatin/Anakin dialogue: Palpatine:
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Anakin: No. Palpatine: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorins to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, that he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying. If Plagueis was Palpatine´s master it means that the event described is no more than 50 years old, so, why is a Sith Leyend? According Sith have been extinct for a millennium, if the Sith return in secret, why should anyone know about this legend, so, the Jedi would never talk about it because it never happened, at least in the known history, so there is a cannon hole This is such a cool theory that would make it enjoyable to watch. Have they explicitly stated that this series takes place before the Clone Wars? Could be this post-Skywalker saga when the memory of the Sith may have died off. 3 days ago They probably thought they were just dark Jedi I'm hoping it is a Sith Lord but I am prepared for it being a red herring and it's just a dark side user. Question Do they only re-use the same clips of Doug or do you use that gentleman every couple of months? Love the channel I think they thought they killed them 5 days ago
I am a big Star Wars fan. I noticed that the dark side of the force has these abilities that the Jedi doesn’t. Anakin was swayed to the dark side because of the possible ability to bring the dead back to life. That is why I prefer the Darkside because of the abilities that come with it. The Jedi seems to be limited. WTF is wrong with people?! I saw TPM in the theater in 99 and even then I could tell that the CLEAR implication, when Ki-Adi delivers that line, is that the Sith HAD, in fact, existed the whole time and that the Jedi, in their hubris, were just flat-out wrong about them having ever gone away. If Ki-Adi had been correct then where would Palps have come from? Do people really think that the Sith were gone for a thousand years and then some random politician from Naboo, Palpatine, just one day decided to start this ancient order back up again? NO! That's ridiculous, the obvious implication is that the Sith had been hiding in the shadows the whole time, waiting, biding their time for the opportune moment to strike--unbeknownst to the Jedi. I swear, some people just deliberately look for things to complain about; as a huge lifelong SW fan I've literally NEVER seen anyone interpret that line of dialogue as gospel until recently, when it became trendy to s**t on The Acolyte. Have people never heard of an unreliable narrator!?!? FOOLS!!! Several Jedi masters were on the council during the prequel trilogy that were also alive during the high Republic era Wouldn’t it be cool if Yoda had dabbled in the dark side and decided that it wasn’t for him but on his way back to the light he decided to leave no witnesses hence the cover-up? BITH LORD WAS SUPER SOLID AND I APPRECIATE THAT JOKE SO MUCH I think all of this would truly be amazing. However, I'm not sure we can count on Disney and their writers to have the foresight to be this good. But yes, I would love it. The Dark Side clouds everything. 1.09, OMG. funny AF Gah, I just love Star Wars so much. Ryan, thanks as always for the dope content. Another thought on this. That line from Palpatine "It's not a story the Jedi would tell you", is very damning and lines up well with this theory of cover-ups. But what if all of these cover-ups are because the Sith are manipulating Jedi? I mean, it is something that very evil people would do. Don't teach about the past because it could diminish the story you tell about yourself, get rid of the people who look at these things and maybe even discredit them, then finally make sure you make it look like it was all someone else's idea. It's what the devil would do, and what Republicans are trying to do. We've only seen the trailer so there's no evidence if the person is a Sith, but if the person with the red blade is a fallen Jedi instead of a Sith, the Jedi order could very easily wave it off as a Jedi who lost their way, not the existence of any further Sith order. Yoda used to try and take my lunch in 3rd grade If he directly hid the knowledge, that would upset me. Yoda has always been presented as did the best he could, but never directly chose to deceive... I hope we see some legends stuff in this next new series!
This does not have to be the sith per se, does it? Not every dark force user must be a sith.
Do you know any dark force user that isn’t a sith?
No it doesn't, and it's just a theory, but hes going pretty hard on it. Makes it seem like it's impossible to find a sith lightsaber or crystal in the galaxy that has so much of that history.
So who were they trained by? Wookies? 💀💀
@@117MasterSpartan Someone who carries a red lightsaber does not equal Sith every time . There’s a thing called dark-side user and dark Jedi. For example, Kylo Ren is not a Sith.
@@iownstaticz8687There are plenty dark side users who aren’t sith.
Ventress, Baylan, Shin, Savage(arguably) Kylo, and all the inquisitors to name some of the top of my head
If Yoda didnt know, how was he aware of the rule of 2 at QuiGon's Funeral?
Having Yoda as a wise but shady character would be a very interesting premise for any Star Wars story.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE these bits, but again I think its always you as a fan putting far more thought into this than the actual writers, but we will see.
As you pointed out, the Jedi did cover up all knowledge of the Nameless Ones, an existential threat, 250 years earlier. And it was specifically Yoda along with Master Creighton Sun who did the covering up, including making sure none of this ever got to the Jedi Archives. This of course led to the Nameless Ones returning 150 years later to lay waste to a whole new batch of Jedi.
is this in the new High Republic books?
And the reorganizing of a non Force-sensitive cult that became known as the space marauding Nihil. Also explained in the High Republic novels.
Yes. In the Phase II novel Cataclysm. The 2nd half of the novel centers around a brutal battle between the Jedi & allies against a cult dedicated to stopping all Force wielders. A cult that's also armed to the teeth and who unleash the Nameless Ones (they feed on force users) on the Jedi, a bunch of whom are turned to stone and then ash. @@andrewbradley8422

Nice job disney, way to make yoda an even worse jedi and more fault for the downfall of jedi.
I don’t know if there’s a canon explanation but this could be how yoda finds out about the rule of two.
I think this show will fix that plot hole. By the series end, The council will learn of the rule of two and assume both are dead so no need to tell the other Jedi.
@@grabatemy thoughts exactly 1 master + 3 apprentices = 4 sith, if you kill 2 then you think you've killed the sith because of the rule of 2
Don't forget that Yoda and Obi-Wan did the whole "point of view" thing on Luke about his dad and kept the fact that Leia was his sister hidden.
They cover up and lie about everything.
Heck, even by the end of it all the Jedi lied about being alive and covered up their own powers so much, they gaslit a bunch of the galaxy into thinking they never existed.
I wouldn't be throwing around 'corrupt', man. However, it doesn't pass any kind of muster for Yoda to not know what was going on with the Sith. Very well written video!
I am here for more stories about Yoda's secret shames. You don't live 900 years without a few screwups you'd rather not come to light.
I think you just sold me on a very interesting and intriguing plot twist. Thank you.❤
I don’t know who’s coming up with the jokes but this shit is getting so fucking funny and I love every second of it. Thank you so much 1:10
6:10 yeah no, a scene from 25 years ago doesnt count. The same as in a new hope when ben is looking so shocked when he talks about lukes father and the dark times.
In legends, didn’t the Jedi find out about the rule of two about 150 years before a phantom menace.
I always thought dark Jedi were a thing. The sith were originally a race or group of people and then the two sort of got combined but you could be a dark Jedi without being sith
I wonder if we will see how Yoda learned to block force lightening and redirect it. Maybe he dabbled in the Darkside
Yea, he was channeling that shit, not blocking it so, maybe he dabbled.
Imagine Yoda is your grandpa, but your grandpa is also Richard Nixon
Make yoda the bad guy, Disney’s final nail for the Star Wars coffin
If you actually read the Darth Plagueis novel it says his master Darth Tenebrous and his master sent a surge through The Force that let the Jedi know that something was beginning to happen.
i don't think a cover up is that crazy of an idea. also, though I'm not convinced that the scene in the trailer with red saber and the scene of all the jedi getting pushed back are the same scene. there is no red lightsaber in push back scene they are just Cut to look that way.
The fast reactions from Doug recently have been the best !! 😂
Why isnt anyone realizing the attack on the village is the place the sith go in the plagueis book where they are worshiped as dieties
0:46 what Star Wars fan says ki-adi mundi like that 🤦♂️ Jesus that was painful to hear!
it would be nice to know if Lucas had intended this much nuance in the E1 scenes, or whether people are just parsing every little time slice looking for holes to insert a whole new story into. Certainly season 6 of Clone Wars shows Yoda facing his own hubris, maybe Lucas intended that it went back even further than we'd assume.
He definitely didn't 😂. And this show is gonna further destroy the canon
@@Soccercrazyigboman
You can’t destroy something (i.e. what is canon ) when you own the bloody franchise. They are creating new content get over it. Lucas sold Star Wars because he was sick of fans crapping on all his ideas. And now he officially has taken a back seat and handed over the whole thing. Washed his hands of it and is supporting every thing Disney is doing. Star Wars is just entertainment. Are you not entertained!!!!!
@@OldmanSk8ing I'm not entertained. Somehow Palpatine has returned and a dumb ass blue general is not entertaining to me. Neither is sneaking a girl out of a base in a trenchcoat
@@OldmanSk8ing and you can definitely destroy something you own. Just look at the sequel trilogy and marvel phase 4. And Microsoft with Halo.
When you add bad stories that create inconsistencies, people with functional brains tend not to like it
You are correct and the only way this will work is to destroy who and what Yoda and the Jedi are@@Soccercrazyigboman
This is such a cool theory that would make it enjoyable to watch.
Good analysis! This why you New Rockstars are the best. You both do the research.
What? This is Screencrush, not New Rockstars…
Was very obvious that Yoda & Maze knew something about something during that scene. .... Do hope there's actual Sith action within this series 🤞
Also, if they're going to do as much they'd almost have to have Yoda know & play off that scene in order to keep canon.
Have they explicitly stated that this series takes place before the Clone Wars? Could be this post Skywalker saga when the memory of the Sith may have died off.
No, Lucasfilm has officially stated that it takes place before The Phantom Menace, during the High Republic.
I think it could be that the Sith were defeated 900 years ago, and now someone is trying to start it up again, but there isn’t any real ancestral connection, so they are calling themselves Sith in the same way you get all these Neo groups nowadays.
So Yoda encountered these pretend Siths, but didn’t realise they actually ended up later resurrecting some dormant Sith energy somewhere, and that’s what has returned in Return of the Sith
That’s why yoda is quiet and thoughtful, thinking, oh is this just those pretend Sith folk again or Is this something different this time
1:08 oh come on Ryan that’s funny
Idk bout cover but he was foolish & high on hubris. He was round during High Republic & the slaying of any remaining scattered Sith. He was aware of the Rule Of Two but downplayed it over time
Yoda knew about the cover up and went along with his elders.
Asajj Ventress was my favorite force user. I hoped to see a live action version of her at some point. She ends up falling in love with Jedi Master Quinlan Voss.
2:40 doug is so adorable (he always is but u get it)
I can't love this theory more. Y'all got my gears going!
in Harry Potter the Prophecy is the driving force that make V-mort go missing and yet the prophecy lives on because it hasn't played out yet.
There is something that makes no sense in the Palpatin/Anakin dialogue:
Palpatine:
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
Anakin:
No.
Palpatine:
I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying.
If Plagueis was Palpatine´s master it means that the event described are no more than 50 yrs old, so, why is a Sith Leyend? acording to yoda, Sith have been extinct for a millenum, if Sith return in secret, why should any one know about this leyend, so, it is obvious that the Jedi would never talk about it because it never happend, at least in the the known history, so there is a cannon hole
Clone Wars season 6 pretty well confirmed Yoda didn't just know, he had realized they were f*ck'ed & the Sith were about to take their revenge. Yoda was damn near complicit in all of it during the last year or so of the Clone War. I couldn't believe what I was watching when I first saw season 6, as George Lucas still had a creative hand in it.
Yoda knew about the rule of two. They were awaiting the return of the sith empire. They didn’t want situations like dooku joining them.
As if that hack Hedlund would follow canon.
Makes a bunch of sense. I always felt that Yoda knew too much. And he only shared it with a select few.
These are my exact words!!!! After phase two of the high Republic, I'm not sure I trust Yoda anymore.
I think all of this would truly be amazing. However, I'm not sure we can count on Disney and their writers to have the foresight to be this good.
But yes, I would love it.
Show ends where we find plageius dead and a young sidious scared in a corner acting like a victim
Let's hope the Acolyte is as good as these theories
Somehow in the movies Yoda knew about the rule of 2. He knew the Sith were still out there if he knew of Darth Bane’s Rule of 2.
Wielding a red blade =/= Sith
I'm hoping it is a Sith Lord but I am prepared for it being a red herring and it's just a dark side user.
Gah, I just love Star Wars so much. Ryan, thanks as always for the dope content.
I would love to see the all good all knowing all perfect Yoda “humanized” to a degree. Makes his character much deeper.
Could be true… Only if Dave Chappelle is playing Yoda 😂
Yoda also covered it up when Anakin and Obi-wan discovered that Dooku killed Sifo Dias and created the Republic’s Clone Army. Yoda said that it would endanger the lives of the clones if the public found out the Clone Army had been created by the leader of the Separatists…all this is in The Clone Wars animated series…
Yoda and Mace definitely knew about the Sith. If Fate of the Jedi was Canon people would have learn the Sith are hiding everywhere. There even was a secret cult of Sith that didn't go by the rule of 2.
Damn, now I'm hyped!
How much more evidence that the prequel Jedi were shady do we need for people to get it?
