Who is the Wisest Jedi !?!


yoda my name is

Recommended Posts

Of course everyone is quick to jump to Yoda. He is the wisest on the Jedi Council, perhaps in the existence of the Jedi Council. But what can you say to the fact that Darth Sidious masterminded the overthrow of the galactic republic, and nearly the defeat of the Rebellion? The guy really had his stuff together, and Yoda never sees it coming. I'm not a Sith lover, that's just the way it is.

Well, no, knowledge is how much you know, wisdom is what you do with what you know. We're still debating about wisdom here.

 

Sidious did make mistakes toward the end, in RoTJ, make no doubt. But the argument here is between him and Yoda, not his actions at the end of the film.

 

Uhh...where did you find that definition of wisdom? In my mind wisdom is a completely different thing...

wis·dom Pronunciation Key (wzdm)

n.

The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight.

Common sense; good judgment: “It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things” (Henry David Thoreau).

 

The sum of learning through the ages; knowledge: “In those homely sayings was couched the collective wisdom of generations” (Maya Angelou).

Wise teachings of the ancient sages.

A wise outlook, plan, or course of action.

 

I would have to say that both Yoda and Sidious are wise in their respective sides of the Force. Palpatines mistake was choosing the dark side which always turns in upon itself. And although Sidious may have hidden himself successfully from Yoda, Yoda was able to survive the Jedi slaughter and train successors which would become the downfall of Sidious. Yoda has plenty of wisdom... he was just more patient with it.
