Star Wars fans who grew up with the original trilogy had every reason to assume that the Jedi were very smart. Finally, Obi-Wan Kenobi describes her as a guardian of peace and justice that the galaxy had protected for a thousand generations, and Yoda was the ultimate embodiment of the wisdom. Unfortunately, the Prequel trilogy presented the Jedi as the intelligence of Jar-Jar-Binks together. And if you have any doubts, just go back and watch the strange incompetence of the Jedi during the battle for geonosis in Attack of the clone.
The battle of geonosis
This special struggle marked a real turning point for the Jedi and showed how vulnerable they were against an army of droids. So vulnerable, in fact that the arrival of Annia Yoda And the cloning troops so as not to transform the battle of geonosis into a complete bloodbath. However, this susceptibility to security had nothing with the strength or tactics of the separatists and everything that had to do with the Jedi roller into a war cloud without a real combat plan.
Remember that we made several Jedi appeared in front of the adult battle of the geonosis to save Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. However, they are thwarted by the Sheer number Of droids that the separatists have at hand. These Jedi will soon be in the mercy of the Klankers, but this only seemed to be seen because these mystical space magicians were deep. deep dumb.
For example, as a spectator, we should be surprised at how many droids appear during the battle of geonosis. But the Jedi should not have been surprised, especially if each of them can feel danger to a certain degree. In addition, we see how Obi-Wan Kenobi warn the Jedi Council that “the droid foundry seems to work in full capacity”, but they only send a relative handful of Jedi to tackle what they already knew about a whole too be planet full of relentless robot soldiers.
Yoda’s arrival saves the survivor Jedi during the battle of geonosis. Between this and his reputation as this weakened Jedi -one could think that he is the group’s brain. However, the only important order he gives is to create a radius to create the survivors, and the only reason why these Jedi survivors were not shot as soon as the clones entered the atmosphere is a combination of film magic and action armor.
Although this is something like that, no Star Wars fan should be questioned too deeply (the strength moves in mysterious way), it is somehow crazy that Yoda, who we know, who easily knows who easily visions of the future could not be able to predict how the battle of geonosis could possibly drop. It is just as crazy that he didn’t show up with the rest of the Jedi. In view of the fact that he is the only one who can assert himself against Douoku and can move very heavy objects with his mind, he would have been much more useful as a soldier than as a converter who is reluctant to fight.
It is of course just a film, and many Star Wars fans would argue that we should not put the battle of geonosis under such an intensive microscope. But in this only battle it is emphasized how incompetent the Jedi really were and how many of their lives they would willingly throw away instead of performing two seconds. Forgot the order 66. Most likely you could defeat Jedi by simply detaining them in a paper bag.
