    It's an interesting thought, the Sentinel school of the Jedi seems like it would have been a better fit for Anakin as he already possessed some life skills by the time he became a padawan, in particular, his affinity for fixing and building electronics such as ships and droids. I wonder how differently things would have unfolded had Anakin been a Jedi Sentinel?

    Good video. One example I remember seeing somewhere that explained the different mindsets between the three orders was this...
    There's a locked door that a Jedi needs to go through. A consular would be most likely to use the force to persuade a guard to open it for him. A guardian would most likely use his lightsaber to cut through the door. A sentinel would most likely just pick the lock.

      @robertmoe5943 Před 6 lety +12

      That is because at the time of KOTOR1 & 2 this notion that your specific job within the Jedi order dictated the color of your lightsaber, didn't exist. Durring the time of KOTOR, the had not discovered Illum yet (or at least rediscover it, there are Je'dai and Sith temples there). The colors of the lightsabers were based off of what planet they came from and how they developed in nature. Kinda like an emerald mine as opposed to a sapphire mine. The reason that the sith lighsabers were red was because they were artificially manufactured. There are also references to the actual sith race getting crystals from Korriban and they were red and orange hues. Illum is the Jedi's primary source of lightsaber crystals and only has green or blue crystals. The Star Wars universe kinda flip flops on this point a lot. Illum being the source of lightsaber crystals is still cannon (SWtCW). The yellow crystals primarly came from Adega but it was a rare crystal to obtain. Then they threw out the EU and made up a bunch of new stuff. The real reason Mace Windu has a purple crystal is because Samuel Jackson had it written into his contract because he wanted his character to stand out. Many of the Jedi that carried yellow lightsabers had them passed down from their masters. Of course, most of this is no longer cannon.

      @@khaos5085 the gray Jedi code is based on ballance, granted there are variations of the exact wording of the code, the base point is "I am a guardian of ballance". In one of the books, considered legends now but no less a star wars book, it's stated that Qui-Gon Jin is believed to be a gray Jedi by the council, and is refused a seat on the council. The comment Anikin makes in ep. 2 about him being on the council if not for him conflicting with them supports this idea. If author's books, written with Lucas arts permission, is fan fiction I guess you're right.

To me at least, it perfectly fits his personality and that's why I chose yellow during my first playthrough.

      Double bladed lightsabers were tricky to master and less effective in battle unless mastered, and even then you run a risk. The double bladed saber opens a lot of opportunity, but also creates openings in it's own way. That's why most Jedi and Sith would rather dual wield rather than use a double bladed saber. While duel wielding they can move more fluently than with a double saber. Plus the history of double blade saber users is bleak and almost nonexistent when it comes to being noteworthy.

      That's because Lucas's "advisory" (or rather, heavily insistent) input pretty much made it so only Temple Guards have yellow lightsabers in Disney Canon Disney wanted to give Asohka Yellow lightsabers and Lucas wanted it to only be temple guards that had yellow. You can see which side of the argument won, with Asohka's yellow tint on her green blades being effectively a "compromise".

      @RaeCarson Před 6 lety +5

      In every lightsaber quiz I've taken that includes yellow for a possible result, that is the answer I receive. Sentinel ethos fits my personal ethos far better than either Consulars or Guardians.
      I am a protector by nature. Physical combat skills are necessary in order to effectively protect/defend one's self and others within the temporal world. Yet overall, I value applied knowledge acquisition above all else the way Sentinels do. Gaining real-world skills allows one to blend in directly with local populations. As such, Sentinels could become invaluable informants because they could conceivably form lasting bonds of trust with non-Force sensitive populations in ways that Consulars or Guardians could not. Sentinels could melt into the background in ways of which Guardians could only dream. Combat/coercion was only used as an absolute last resort and not the first/oversimplified resort. I envision Sentinels as essentially the Huffleclaws of Star Wars, haha. While they possess great knowledge and power, they don't care to wave it about as if on a banner. They seem content to share, learn, and grow from other species throughout the galaxy whether Force-sensitive or not. Thus becoming far more inclusive and amenable to considering and even adopting multiple contrasting points of view, schools of thought, method, and means through a decidedly light-side (optimist) lens that is tempered with healthy doses of pragmatism. Their way of maintaining balance was through diplomacy and knowledge in ways that most Consulars and Guardians were incapable of maintaining for very long. Aaaaand that is basically my headcanon combined with what's explained in the video....an explanation which turned out to longer than I had intended, lol.

    Watching this video makes me want to play Jedi Fallen Order again and choose Yellow for my lightsaber colour! I really think Yellow suits Cal the most, he’s a lot like a Jedi Sentinel.

  • @dodopoopinpoop

    This is a very interesting topic.
    And after hearing about the different schools of thought, I have to ask, what school of thought would you be in?
    I think I would probably go the Jedi watchman route, and be a sentinel because I think the Jedi's mission was to keep the galaxy safe, and the best way to do that was to use every tool at their disposal to do it.
    Can't wait to see what you do next!

      Well, TheSilverShadow, I’m pretty fond of how one’s Lightsaber Color can be a Reflection their Soul. So until there is an Update of Lightsaber Colors’ are also Soul Colors (Personalities), I’m sticking to Legends for now.
      Otherwise, making Orange being synonymous to being a Candle Flame in a Library & an Angry Flame on a Battlefield would be interesting.

    • @EarlnEarl
      @EarlnEarl Před 6 lety +29

      Zack Briggs, some dark jedi that started out on the light side just kept the lightsabers they already had. Others would change if given the chance, others would lose their jedi blades and need to replace them. Sith lord Darth Vader used his old blue lightsaber until losing it in his duel with Obi-wan on Mustafar. From the 2003 Clone Wars series, Dark Jedi Ventress used her own light saber along with her dead master's blade until they were destroyed by Dooku and replaced with the twin red lightsabers from his other fallen apprentice Komori. And in legends is the Sith Lord Exar Kun, who kept his blue light saber blade from his time as a Jedi, though he would redesign it while keeping the same color blade.

    Food for thought. If the sentinels were so good at concealing themselves, wouldn't they have survived order 66 do to the army not knowing that they were Jedi and thus going into hiding like obiwan and yoda? Therefore wouldn't there be more Jedi out there during the rebellion that no one knows about? Whom would have taken apprentice to continue the teachings of their school in secret much the same as the sith prior to the rise of the emperor? Thus making them the prominent school for Jedi over guardians and consulars.

An online quiz revealed my lightsaber to have an orange blade and another that I would specialise as a Jedi Shadow. What lightsaber colour would you have and what specialisation would you focus on if you were a Jedi? Also, could you cover the various specialisations of the three main paths a Jedi may follow?
