if you would join us hey guys how are you doing today now from the beginning
of the Jedi Order it was tradition that the Jedi only trained little children
this was so that the little children would not remember their home and would
not have formed any attachments to an outside life therefore they would be
able to dedicate themselves 100% to the Jedi Order and its ideals and to
dedicate themselves to serving the force of all the Jedi we know of Anakin
Skywalker struggled with this more than any other even at the young age of eight
the memory and attachment of his mother proved to be such an insurmountable
obstacle that it was one of the main foundations in his fault of the dark
side so it's no wonder why the Jedi didn't want to Train children who were
older rather they wanted to be like the first order with their stormtroopers and
take them when they were just babies okay so maybe the first order was you
know copying the Jedi but it doesn't really matter either way there is
something to be said about training an infant into exactly what you want him to
be the Sith on the other hand had a very different approach to what they looked
for in an apprentice of all of the Canon sit in the movies
Darth Maul is probably the youngest while we don't have a solid canon
explanation yet about darth maul became Darth Sidious as apprentice we know that
in the legends book Darth Plagueis Maul came to Sidious when he was just still a
little baby Maul was then raised by droids on the planet Mustafar and other
planets while still being trained periodically by Darth Sidious both in
person and via holo he then was raised in the works on Coruscant where he
learned to hate the Jedi he used to spend his evenings gazing out across the
cityscape at the topmost spire of the Jedi Temple just thinking about how much
he hated the Jedi and how much he wanted to take revenge against them but this
video is not about Darth Maul because he was trained as a child and that's not
the title of the video so why did the city train children why do they usually
seek out people like Palpatine who in legends was a young man when he go to
mask an aka Darth Plagueis his master started to train him as Sidious or why
do they go after Jedi like Dooku or Anakin who have already had intense
Force training is it because the Sith are lazy and don't want to train them in
the foundations of the force or do they simply not want to raise babies well
that last one is particularly true at least partially
the Sith had a reason why they didn't train babies and it's revealed in the
legends book Darth Plagueis after Plagueis discovers that his own master
had another secret apprentice named Darth venomous young Plagueis strives to
learn everything he can about him but he can't determine much since Plagueis
places him in a coma to try to revive him from death with the force so he
can't exactly ask venomous Plagueis can't even figure out how old venomous
had been when tenebrous found him or anything about his training according to
Plagueis though set ways of training an apprentice or a thing of the past
doctrine was for the jedi where the jedi courted power the sith lusted after it
where the jedi believed they knew the truth the sith possessed it owned by the
darkside they ultimately became their knowledge and here is where we get the
reason why the sith preferred to Train grown specimens rather than babies for
the past 500 years the sith of the Bane line had issued selecting children as
apprentices finding it more advantageous to discover beings who had already been
hardened or scarred by life we see this precisely with Anakin and Darth Sidious
in legends shortly after obi-wan begins training Anakin the new Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine summons the duo to his office to thank them for everything
they did with Naboo at this time Palpatine already had his eyes on Dooku
as a potential replacement for mall but Anakin was also very intriguing to him
in fact he's what happens during that meeting the force will guide your
destiny Anakin said obi-wan Palpatine smiled inwardly guide you to me young
Skywalker Dooku had talent and could be a powerful
placeholder but this seemingly dailus pleasant-faced boy this forceful boy was
the one he would take as his apprentice and used to execute the final stage of
the grand plan and here's the culmination of what we've been talking
about let's ob1 instruct him in the ways of the force and let Skywalker grow
embittered over the next decade as his mother aged in slavery the galaxy
deteriorated around him and his fellow Jedi felt inextricable Khan
he was too young to be trained in the ways of this shit in any case but he was
the perfect age to bond with a father figure who would listen to all his
troubles and coax him inexorably over to the dark side as I told you on Naboo
Anakin he said finally we will continue to follow your career with great
interest and the sure that it culminates in the ruination of the Jedi Order and
the RIA Senden sea of the Sith basically Palpatine always planned on taking Annie
as his apprentice but wanted him to be with the Jedi so he could learn to
experience pain and hate before actually becoming a Sith so do you guys think of
the sets general practice to only take grown beings to be their apprentices do
you think that the new Canon should change mauls age for when he became City
as his apprentice or even Darth Plagueis his age since he became a sit the
Prentice around the age of five let me know what you guys think of the comments
below thank you so much for watching today's video and I'll see you in the
next one until then remember the force will be
with you always
destiny
you
