Star Wars prequels always portray Yoda as different from politicians like Palpatine … while the future emperor of the shadow, this Jedi warrior jumped with danger with nothing more than CGI bad. And it is easy to support this small green type because it is presented as the definitive force of the good fight against Palpatine’s plans to take care of the galaxy. However, the fact that Yoda lived for almost a millennium and led the Jedi for centuries as an American Pasta-Pasta-Su Primo politician makes him as guilty as palpatina in the destruction of the old republic.
Despite what artificial fans say, Star Wars has always been a politician: George Lucas, with explicitly headquarters, Emperor Palpatine in Richard Nixon and used Ewoks as Viet symbols that fit the powerful American war machine. Therefore, it is not That Crazy comparing our own old politicians with those in Star Wars and discovering some similarities … for example, certain US politicians have been in power far Longer than 23 years of Palpatine. But it turns out that Yoda is worse than American politicians and Palpatin himself when it comes to remaining in power for too long and condemning everyone had to protect.
Now, some would say that it is not fair to compare Yoda with a politician, so here is another hard truth: not only Jedi politicians, but were the most corrupt in a galaxy very, far away. These are the Galaxy Police with divine powers, troops that represent billions of beings such as government ambassadors … however, they do not have real external supervision and ashes The acolyte Shown, they are willing to cover up atrocious crimes when some try to investigate them. And presiding over all this incompetence for centuries was Yoda, who hid the existence of his decreasing force capabilities until it was too late for Jedi everywhere.
In Canon, Yoda has been a member of the Jedi Council for more than 350 years, which means that he has a leadership place in this elite group for a longer time than everything life Or several galactic aliens. On paper, that’s fine because he is powerful and wise … The lead child who can sacrifice and still kick his butt with a light saber. But at the time of the prequels, this ancient alien is maintaining a fairly horrible secret of all: that its ability to use force has decreased together with that of all others. And it is this failure that most makes Yoda look like an American politician who kills.
If you look beyond the tanned plot of the prequels, Yoda is revealed as an aging de facto politician who has bone in power for centuries and refuses to resign when he realizes that it is the losing order of the force … you know, what he does. Brands. It is completely possible that a Dutr and younger leader can identify this problem of strength and even deduce that Palpatine was a Sith. But as innumerable politicians of the real world before him, Yoda refused to give up his power, which led to a Jedi genocide that could have been easily avoided.
None of this is to reduce the evil facts of Palpatine or its evil interns, of course, but the point is that Yoda should have felt this predatory political intentions, so special After knowing that a Sith was hiding in sight. All probability, the Yoda of the years, could have done it, but the Jedi teacher of the previous era no longer had enough control over force. He had his leg willing to give up or simply work in some young people with new ideas (such as Ahsoka), order 66 could have easy leg prevention.
At this point, Yoda lovers can be shouting on the screen that is better than Germanic American politicians and tried to do everything possible to stop Palpatine’s plan. But the little green guru had to live his most famous lesson in the most painful way: to do or not … there is no attempt.
