Introduction to Video Content

The Nightsisters are a mysterious group, but what is even more intriguing is that the Jedi seem to tolerate and even support them. The Jedi Order has always been dedicated to eradicating darkness wherever it exists. The Sentinels, for example, are specifically tasked with this mission. As defenders of light, peace, and justice, it is their duty to proactively protect the innocent and seek out those who pose a threat. However, this is not the case with the Nightsisters of Dathomir. This coven of witches has been a source of darkness for many years, yet the Jedi have never made any significant efforts to address them. Despite the spotlight on the Nightsisters in the Clone Wars and their return in Ahsoka, interactions between the Jedi and the Nightsisters are rare. This raises the question of why the Jedi allow these darksiders to roam freely, especially during their prime, and continue to spread wickedness until they are ultimately defeated by General Grievous. Let us delve into this matter and uncover the flawed logic of the Jedi.The first aspect to consider are the legal reasons that restrict the Jedi from taking action. Surprisingly, there are legal limitations preventing the Jedi from pursuing their mission to destroy darkness. The Republic does not deem it lawful for the Jedi to exact their own form of justice.

Subtitles section

Hey what's up guys and welcome back to the channel.

The Nightsisters are extremely mysterious, but more than this is the fact that the Jedi seem to tolerate and in some cases outright support them.

It has always been the mission of the Jedi Order to hunt down and eradicate darkness wherever they find it.

Some Jedi such as the Sentinels are given this direct task.

As the servants of the light and the guardians of peace and justice, it was their sworn duty to protect the innocent by proactively seeking out those who would harm them.

However, we all know that this is not always the case, namely with the Nightsisters of Dathomir.

Plenty of darkness has come from this coven of witches over the years, and it's very clear that there is tangible hostility between the Jedi and the Nightsisters.

Yet, the Jedi have never actually made any efforts to do something about the Nightsister coven.

Rarely do we ever see them interact, despite all of the spotlights given to the Nightsisters in the Clone Wars, with the Nightsisters making a grand return to prominence in Ahsoka.

We can't help but wonder why the Jedi let these darksiders roam free, especially during the Jedi's heyday, and continue to spread their wickedness until the bitter ends at the hand of General Grievous.

So my friends, let's open up another holocron and answer the burning question, and hopefully pull back the curtain of the Jedi's flawed logic.

The first thing we need to get out of the way is the more obvious, legal reasons why the Jedi's hands are tied.

Believe it or not, there is actual legality to the Jedi exacting their holy justice, and this causes the Jedi from following their destined mission to destroy darkness, but it not being lawful from the Republic's standpoint.

We learn that the Galactic Constitution actually has stated stipulations that ironically protect groups like the Nightsisters from Jedi persecution.

What's interesting is that in the Constitution also happens to protect those following the Sith religion as well.

For a long time, it was illegal in the Republic to be a Sith or to practice Sith ways.

This was due to the religion being seen as a catalyst for war and terrorism throughout most of history.

But once the Sith had been perceived to be extinct at the end of the New Sith Wars, the next thousand years had many constitution changes and updates that inadvertently repealed this ban on any dark side religion,

A choice that might or might not have had something to do with Chancellor Palpatine himself.

While it's not explicitly stated that Palpatine had a hand in this legislation, we can infer that he may have pulled some strings to get this to happen.

You see, it's actually from Palpatine himself that we even learn that the statute within the Constitution ever existed.

In the novelization for Revenge of the Sith, the scene of Palpatine's arrest is far more expanded upon.

Originally, Palpatine doesn't give up his identity right away, but plays up his innocence for a secret recording device in his office, one that he would later have shown to the Jedi to prove that the Jedi betrayed him.

When he asked Mace Windu on what charges he was being arrested, Windu responded by exclaiming that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, to which the clever Chancellor Palpatine replies with this, Am I?

Even if true, that's hardly a crime.

My philosophical outlook is a personal matter.

In fact, the last time I read the Constitution, we have very strict laws against this type of persecution.

So I ask you again, what is my alleged crime?

The truth of the matter is, no matter what the philosophical affiliation the Nightsisters have, they cannot legally be tried in a court of law without reason, and they certainly cannot be straight out imprisoned or massacred.

The Jedi are caught between a rock and a hard place with this one, and that's not entirely due to the Constitution either.

The morality of this situation is extremely complex.

I wouldn't doubt for a minute that the High Council have had a few off-record debates about their plan for the Nightsisters.

In fact, I believe that if the Jedi had had the chance, they would have destroyed them given their alignment to the Dark Side.

But of course though, it seems that they never reached a deliberation because the Nightsisters were never dealt with.

Despite the fact that the Nightsisters openly practice dark arts and use dangerous applications of the Force, it is technically classified as their own culture and religion, and the literal Republic itself is holding the Jedi Order at bay.

The Jedi would be betraying both the Republic Law and the Jedi Code to attack them unprovoked, but that doesn't mean that they didn't want to.

The Nightsisters are unfortunately very good at hiding their tracks whenever they do actually do something incriminating.

But despite this, the Nightsisters are known to take commission from people like Count Dooku, and they sell their dark services to the highest bidder, with this outright affecting the Jedi.

The Jedi have difficulty keeping criminal enterprises like the Hutts in line, but surely since this is a Force-related issue, they should step in.

It's not like the Jedi's hands are clean when it comes to dealing with situations under the table without the view of the Republic.

We cannot forget that the Jedi Order has an entire subsection dedicated to Black Ops-style missions just like this one.

Those are known as the Jedi Shadows, a subclass of the Sentinel.

They were a group that were specifically tasked by the Council of First Knowledge to hunt down and destroy all traces of the Dark Side in the galaxy, including likely the Nightsisters.

This though included Dark Jedi and especially Dark Side artifacts.

If the Shadows didn't destroy these artifacts, they were to recover them and bring them back to the Archives.

A Shadow's main goal was either recovery or assassination, and the Jedi didn't shy away from either, but would usually enter a deep deliberation, especially before dispatching a Jedi Shadow on an assassination mission,

As once they did, the word was final.

Having said that though, the Jedi Shadows were there for a reason.

So why didn't the High Council dispatch a team of them to clean up and destroy the Nightsisters?

Well, because of the simple fact that the Nightsisters did not outright practice the Dark Side of the Force, but rather drew upon the Dark Side itself.

This put them in sort of a grey area.

But also, the Nightsisters were extremely powerful, and it would have taken far more than just a task force of Jedi Shadows to deal with them.

That would require the combined effort of many Jedi, a force that would be far too large to go unnoticed by the Republic.

The issue comes down to not only morality, but also to the public vision of the Jedi.

Lightsaber wounds are very distinct, and it would cause a major controversy if the Jedi were to have been found to have massacred an entire people group, witches or not.

Ironically though, the Jedi have done this before and were able to hide it under the table.

The Jedi of the Republic era though, wouldn't be able to avoid the public eye on this one, especially since Dathomir was in Separatist space, and the Confederacy would make sure something like this got out.

General Grievous and the Droid Army could do it because they didn't really care about their public image.

Dooku was a master of propaganda, and can smooth it over very easily.

The Jedi Order though, would have a much harder time covering this up, as the galaxy already did not trust them.

So even though there was definitely venom and hostility between the Nightsister Coven and the Jedi, the Jedi could not legally or morally do anything about it.

Even though, make no mistake, they very much wanted to.

In fact, Dathomir and the Jedi did have some major conflicts.

In recorded canon and legends, there hasn't ever been a situation where the Jedi went to war with the Nightsisters.

Interestingly though, we don't even know of any circumstances where there was a prolonged conflict.

There has only ever been a few small disputes and run-ins with the Nightsisters, enough to cement them as an enemy, but never enough to actually make a concerted effort to destroy them.

The Nightsisters have actually killed quite a few Jedi, but there is a large lack of evidence behind these killings to actually make a substantial case.

However, we do know that the Jedi have no problems immediately defending themselves against the Nightsisters should a situation arise where intervention is necessary.

This is what happened during the Clone Wars, when Mace Windu and Jar Jar came into contact with Mother Talzin and her cult trying to conduct a ritual and change and alter the captured Queen of Bardatta.

In this scenario, Jedi intervention was indeed provoked, and Windu would have had to confront Talzin whether she was a Nightsister or not.

The Jedi have had to deal with the indirect consequences and threat of the Nightsisters in the form of Savage and Maul, but because the Nightsisters are mostly neutral, the Jedi have nothing to stand on when it comes to dealing with them.

So in conclusion, the Jedi cannot do anything because of the legality of the Republic Constitution concerning freedom of religion.

The fact that the Nightsisters rarely ever provoke the Jedi is also very important, realizing that they were protected by the Republic, and that if they ever did move against the Jedi, they would ultimately be destroyed.

The Jedi, although they want to destroy the Nightsisters, are more pushed into a begrudgingly tolerant system, where they're actively performing terrorist actions like the Sith once did, but able to hide it.

But anyway my friends, tell us what you think about this, and do you believe that the Jedi refusing to take care of the Nightsisters showed that they cared too much about politics and public image?

Or do you think that keeping their hands clean was the right call?

Let us know if you think this will be addressed in Ahsoka, and was it a mistake for them not to destroy the Nightsisters when they could have?

As always my friends, thank you so much for visiting the channel today, and may the Force be with you.
