- The Mandalorian has exposed many to the idea that lightsabers cant cut through everything, with many bounty hunters, imperials as well as other scum and villainy using armour that could slow, or even stop the slash of this formidable weapon. The prevelence of such materials in Star Wars legends was no less, with many Sith, and various other mysterious force wielding using lightsaber resistant materials to create armour. It seems that the only group that didn’t wear some kind of lightsaber resistant armour were the Jedi, the most notable likghtsaber wielding group. Indeed, with some notable exceptions such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi did not even wear lightweight blaster resistant armour, instead leading the charge into battle in monk robes.
But why? If battle armour worked for the Sith, then why not the Jedi? Or at the very least why didnt a decent portion of the Jedi who used lightsaber techniques that would be complimented by battle armour bother to use it? The answer to this question has many facets, all of which will be explored in this video.
And before we begin, wed like to thank Ultimate Chad Memes For suggesting this video.blah blah blah
Now its important to note that for most of their history, the Jedi did use battle armour. This practice, while not universal, was adopted in response to the specific needs and challenges of various eras. Let's delve deeper into the historical context and the implications of this tradition.
In the ancient epochs, such as the Pius Dea and early Ductavis periods, Jedi Knights were often seen clad in full-body metal armor, complete with distinctive horned helmets. This was a brutal era, characterised by a human centric cult that turned the Republic into a fanatical EMpire that persecuted alien species. This harrowing period eventually caused the Jedi to militerise to a profound extent. This militerisation caused many Jedi to sway from the original ideals of the Order, and many of them embraced the dark side to a greater extent. This included developing some of the worst kinds of force powered torture techniques, a topic for a future video, and the adoption of some of the most substantial Jedi armour in the oirders history. This armour was more akin to the anmcient Siths armour than anything else than camebefore or after, showing just how different these early jedi really were. This particular style of armor, steeped in history, left a lasting impression on the galaxy's collective memory. So much so that even Luke Skywalker, a figure from a time more than 10,000 years later, was aware of this iconic armor.
Although such heavy armour would be given up during the relative peace that followed the Pius Dea cults demise, the use of some smaller pieces of armour still remained for the remainder of the Old Republic Era. From the Hundred year darkness to the Old Sith Wars, Jedi were often seen donning armour of some kind, with Revan being a prime example of this.
The era of the Great Galactic War introduced an evolution in the design of Jedi armor, with the inclusion of kamas - a type of skirt-like garment that offered additional protection without hindering movement. This contrasted with the Sith's preference for capes, highlighting a divergence in philosophy and approach to warfare between the two factions.

It's odd that Jedi didnt at least wear armorweave during the Clone Wars. With how many blasters were aimed at them, it wpuld make sense to wear a flexible material that could resist blaster bolts to a certain extent. Sure, sniper blasts would probably still get through, but standard frontline infintry weapons would more often not cause issues
That would give plot armor to many who weren't supposed to make it. Or it would force the story to give them more extravagant deaths.
@@vCLOWNSHOESv I may be wrong, but I don't think armorweave can withstand excessive blaster fire, so Order 66 still would've taken out the jedi
You can be completely naked and emerge unscathed if you have plot armour, and conversely if you don't have plot armour you can be bunkered in the deepest room on a planet-destroying battlestation the size of a moon and still get blown up by a teenage hotshot pilot with just two proton torpedoes.
@@silverchairsgYes😂
What about a video on Plo Koon and Wolf Squad? Plo has always been my favorite Jedi, and he had a very long life.
Can you do a video on what if Havoc squad from Star Wars old republic still existed even in the clone wars?
Great video. Can you explain starkiller force abilities
Wow, awesome video, you always teach me so much and you have such a great teaching style. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for your continued support we really appreciate it
Could you do what the life of windu was like before the Clone wars and Episode 1
00:01:37 I would greenlight a trilogy based on that pic.
Do a video tallying the atrocities of the jedi and the sith to see who were worse
Sounds equally balanced
I’d like to know more about Sith Artifacts especially Spirit Urns.
Please do a video on the nihil
Well in the New Sith Wars artwork (on the Star Wars wikia page on the New Sith Wars) there's this redhead Jedi wearing a sexy leather corset, what looks like a leather miniskirt and a cape, so...
I would love for you to make a video on revan reborn
2:39 Viking like armor? Viking wore maille armor not plate
Why didn’t Yoda sense anakin as the chosen one
What if Anakin had left the jedi order to be with Padme directly after their wedding?
would say this is more evidence that most jedi least during the clone wars era had no sense of battle logic even for space wizards who can reflect the typical ranged attack away sometimes back at the attacker and even further proof in terms of combat ability the jedi of the clone wars were the least battle ready of nearly any time period of the jedi history with obiwan one of the few who actually took battle seriously even compared to a number of other more battle focused jedi who likely hadn't had much actual combat experience especially against other force users or similar high end enemies where obiwan was well aware of the dangers of both force users and non force users so he wore armor cause he knew the jedi weren't invincible and i also could see
i also think the jedi's mass taking of children also weakened the overall force sensitivity of many groups in the galaxy given likely killed off some other force traditions because they lost their recruits as well as given jedi are typically forbidden to have kids and force sensitivity is a somewhat heritable trait and large numbers of force users never had kids resulted in less force users overall and weakened the genes associated with sensitivity resulting in less force users but also likely made the ability of those that could access it often weaker
What happened to Barris after the clone wars?
She was killed on Felucia during Order 66, blasted to ash by an AT-TE walker under orders from lieutenant CT-6734 "Galle".
@@swehumorofficial canon?
And yet , look at what it got them .
can we have the us military vs the Jedi order I belive it would he more fair as our humanity doesn't have the force and cant be touched by it.
I mean can we accept that armor in star wars is mostly for the look? Because let's face the fact that armor largely in star wars was entirely useless. How many times had you seen the heavily armored storm troopers getting cut down by single blaster hits? Nevermind there was no set of armor that was turning away or stopping a lightsaber. So really it wasn't about protection so much as a status symbol.
Plastoid, yes it couldn't handle too much. Other material, it might be different to say
what if maul beat palpatine on mandalore
Are mandalorians umans or some kind of evolution of the human species?
Because they realized they looked stupid in helms with horns.
