Episode 059 - Why Did The Jedi Order Fall (Twice)?

Talking Star Wars

In this episode, Alex and Connor explore the factors that led to both the downfall of the Jedi Order at the hands of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of Luke’s Jedi Order after his attempt to directly resurrect their practices and beliefs. This episode traces the increasingly strict dogma of the Jedi Order from the first attacks of the Nihil in the High Republic Period, which sets the precedent for the Jedi becoming Generals of the Grand Army of the Republic during The Clone Wars. Other key factors explored include the complacency of the Jedi Order, the inflexibility of the Jedi Council, and the overwhelming nature of outside threats that made the Order uniquely vulnerable. Listen today to hear a detailed analysis about the fall of the Jedi Order.

This episode mentions content from and contains potential spoilers for: Episodes 1 through 9, The Rise of Kylo Ren, The High Republic Phase 1, The Clone Wars, Rebels, Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor, Knights of the Old Republic, and The Mandalorian.
