Why Yoda Voted AGAINST Qui-Gon Jinn Joining the Jedi Council - Star Wars Explained

Just another reason why Palpatine was right when he said, "Your arrogance blinds you Master Yoda"

“Trust in the Force, as long as the Force doesnt go against the Jedi council” - Yoda probably

Man, Dooku's liniage really get the bad end of the stick when it came to the Jedi. First they treat Dooku himself like some eccentric weirdo, alienating him. Then there's Qui-Gon who they also dismissed as a well meaning weirdo who asked needless questions just like Dooku. If including legends the Council handled the Komari Vosa incident horribly and cast her out instead of simply trying to understand and resolve the problem maturely. Obi-Wan, for all his loyalty to the jedi way lost some good will by training Anakin. Anakin himself was treated with suspicion and was barely tolerated. Then there's Ahsoka who the council was happy to throw to the wolves and alienated her so badly that, just like Dooku, she left the order of her own volition.

How Yoda was to Qui gon is like how grumpy old men get when someone new and very gifted comes along with fresh new ideas and insight. It could be said that Yoda had an ego problem, just like he said of all the other jedi, but refused to see it in himself. Its serves as a lesson to all that just because someone is old does not mean he doesn't have more to learn, Nor does he know "everything" .

Qui-Gon probably knew about the history of Revan and the invitation to the High Council to only reject it because he expected his opinions would not be listed too.

Qui Gon wouldve been shackled and ruined by a Council position. He would serve the Force better out in the field.

I like to think Qui Gon came to Yoda after death as a “Surprise, bitch. Bet you thought you’d seen the last of me” petty moment

Qui Gon was based and I wish he had more screentime

Yoda's character arc clearly showcases that yes he was arrogant and stuck in his old ways but that he was willing to learn from his failings and pass on those lessons to the next generations. Thats why he and Obi Wan waited for Luke and Leia to seek them out for the path of the Jedi.

If the Council had listened to Revan, maybe they'd have survived. Qui Gon was definitely a prime example of what the Jedi could have been if Revan's teachings had been taught. Love is something the Jedi should have taught rather than feared.

Not only great character development for both Jedi masters but also an additional sense of foreboding and irony to Yoda's criticism of the order in Attack of the Clones: "Too sure of themselves they are, even the older more experienced ones." Yoda was aware of the problem but unaware he was a huge part of it.

Defiance was something the council needed. Yoda was definitely too stuck in his dogmatic ways.

Their council was more an echo chamber than a true council.

Yoda meant for Dooku to eventually replace him as Grand Master. It is why he took on Dooku as padawan despite his personal rule and the convention of GMs not taking on learners. However, Dooku was to strong-willed, and too unorthodox in Yoda's opinion. Most gifted student? Greatest duelist if the time? Yes. Team player? No. But it is a shame. Instead of looking for a carbon copy, Yoda should have seen that different times called for different leaders. Additionally, Mace Windu was most certainly not that new leader. He was even more dogmatic than Yoda. In the end, Dooku's line DID change the Jedi by destroying it.

Yoda trained Jedi for almost a thousand years. The galaxy moved on. He didnt.

Yoda learned nothing from the structural rigidity that hampered the Jedi against the Nihil

Yoda grew too stagnant, complacent, stale, plain, blank, or too comfy in his old ways he got too arrogant he along with most of the jedi council with few exceptionals were too dogmatic and sure of themselves the Jedis who were less by the books were Qui Gon, Quinlan, Dooku, Shaak Ti, Yaddle, Anakin, Plo Koon, Asajj, Aayla, And Ahsoka yeah.

Wow. And here I thought I could never find a reason to dislike Yoda

the depths of Yoda's pride is bottomless. Yoda was merely afraid that Qui-Gon would show him up.

Yoda was jealous. He was holding him back.
