The Last Jedi, Why did Yoda burn the Jedi code?

[ハイイロギツネ]

When Yoda burns the Jedi Code, he was burning a code that humans could not live up to as he knew that humans were fallible and unable to live truly know the Jedi code. They were forever looking to the horizon as Luke was.

“Padawan, thousands of Jedi once there were. Then came war. In our arrogance, join the conflict swiftly we did. Fear, anger, hate. Consumed by the dark side, the Jedi were.” - Yoda.

What are your thoughts on why Yoda burned the Jedi order books?

Because Disney approved Rian Johnson's first draft of the script.

The books where not burned. Ray had already taken them and it could be seen on her ship in one scene.

I like Solo, Rogue One, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens and even some of The Last Jedi, at least the scenes with Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren.

The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones also gave us Darth Maul, Count Dooku and General Grevious and while they were not the best films, they gave us Ewan Mcgregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hmm, didn't see that part of the film. I will watch the film again.

Perhaps Rey will teach them differently from the last Jedi Order?

Funny how Yoda didn't tell Luke about that, oh that green little joker

I'd say unlikely, given that Ms Daisy Riddley isn't planning to be in any more SW movies.

Well, the new Star Wars trilogy by the Game of Thrones writers will be on the Old Republic or at least that's the rumour.

The movie will at one point pan the camera towards the jedi books at some point and I've only seen the movie once but it was clear she took them.

But at the same time Yoda might not be aware of it either. He liked Luke the most and he taught from failures. I don't think Yoda kept an eye on the books 24/7 or so and I don't think he could just see inside the tree.

I absolutely loved the scene though and it made me cry a bit.

[Aachen]

I don't know .... though I don't consider Yoda to be omniscient, in the case of the Jedi lore, his cheeky, specific phrasing strongly implied (to me, at least) that he knew exactly what had happened in the tree.

[whatamidoing]

Cheap shock value

[AbedsBrother]

Because ♥♥♥♥ the fans and the Extended Universe, that's why.

Why not? I mean he's the force ghost now, so seeing into the tree, or knowing what Rey was doing, shouldn't be something beyond his powers, and it's Yoda after all.

Because that's where the seagulls nested.

[Zero, Dark Knight]

Yoda had failed the Jedi order more than all others combined, his pride allowed him to sit atop the Jedi council and let multiple Sith take over the galaxy, however, the Sith did not take over the galaxy through power or cunning, but because the balance of the force was held, unwillingly, in favour of the light side, for far too long, and so when it broke free of the Jedi.

It created extreme darkness, then swung heavily into the Jedi, cracking their order, decimating their ranks, destroying everything they cared for.

Once there was no resistance, the pendulum swung again, with equal force, crashing into the dark side, allowing just a few force users to survive...
but if you notice 'who' survives and 'how'?
'Who' is allowed to be a force ghost and 'why'?

They're all the ones who realised that to be a force user, means to be neutral is key.

This is why - in my experience and logic - the "JEDI" text were destroyed and in many of the books and lore, SITH ruins are destroyed, abandoned, forgotten.

Because the force wants peaceful, casual, uninterrupted pendulum swings. Not an army of light vs dark users holding it and crashing it around as a weapon. and those texts were from the time of the light using it as a weapon.

or I could be wrong.

The books were not destroyed. Ray had already taken them and this can be seen in a later scene.
