White the Star Wars movies are a cultural phenomenon and multi billion dollar franchise owned by Disney, but at their core simple adventure fantasy stories set in space between good and evil. Not only the overt battles between the Empire and the Republic, the Jedi Order and the Sith, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) but the inner struggle between the light side and the dark side of the force.
The Star Wars prequel trilogy showed us the adventures and ultimately Anakin Skywalker and the fall of the Jedi Order. But perhaps it was the Jedi themselves that caused the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and the birth of Darth Vader) and caused the fall of the Jedi Order. Not through overt hostility towards Anakin, but rather through constant rebukes and shame.
Nerd Talk Dan will break down the effects of shame on the fall of Anakin Skywalker and whether the young Skywalker could have been saved from the shame spiral which gave rise to Darth Vader, master of the dark side and lord of the Sith.
Why weren't the wise Jedi masters (Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi Wan Kenobi) able to see how their shaming was feeding into the darkside of Anakin Skywalker and pushing him further towards Palpatine (Emperor / Darth Sidious)?
We here at Nerd Talk know you're dying to see this integral part of Star Wars explained. And we aim to deliver. So stick around and let's talk about Anakin Skywalker and the fall of the Jedi Order.

The use of Gustav Holst Jupiter is such a good choice given Williams inspiration of Holst Planets series for the score of star wars. Brillant video. Looking forward to going through all your other video essays

The Jedi order Under Yoda's leadership needed to be destroyed whether people like it or not because that Organisation was too weak to continue into the future 🤣👏🏾. When order 66 happened I was so happy because that was finally a chance for the order to be decimated & start anew in the future ✅. Anakin was right , Dooky was right , "The Lost 20" was right , Ahsoka was right , QuiGon was right & the list goes on. Obi-Wan was a terrible mentor to Anakin & the Jedi Council during the clone wars era was nothing but clowns to. They did nothing but bully him , push him around , belittle him & made him feel less than for his whole time in the Jedi order as a kid so a turn to the DarkSide was gonna happen sooner or later 🤷🏾♀. An unorthodox , unique , Maverick of a teacher like QuinLanVos or someone else who is more of a human being 1st & professional second is what Anakin needed to get his training completed correctly. #GreatVideo🔥 #MyOpinion

Yeah all of that was Obi-Wan’s & the Jedi council’s fault of why they “Lost Anakin”. The guy was one of the most down to earth , loyal & coolest guys to be around yet they bullied him , pushed him around , belittled him & made him feel less than for his whole time in the Jedi order as a kid. Anakin got did dirty by the Jedi order & Yoda was a terrible grandmaster to 🤣✅.
