Hey! Why do you think Krell was such a terrible person (alien??) with the clones?. From what he said I understood that he might have «foreseen» order 66 so he knew what was going to happen but since he didn’t know when, he just wanted to to kill as many clones as possible to «be safe»? What do you think of this? (also I’m trying really hard not to insult Krell here bc I hate him a lot)

• But
  you’re a Jedi! How could you?
• A Jedi?
  I’m no longer naive enough to be a Jedi. A new power is rising, I’ve foreseen
  it. The Jedi are going to lose this war,
  and the Republic will be ripped apart from the inside. In its place is going to
  rise a new order, and I will rule as part of it.
• You’re a
  Separatist!
• I serve no one’s side, only my own. And
  soon, my new master.
• You’re an
  agent of Dooku.
• Not yet, but when I get out of
  here, I will be.

Krell jumped ship. He knew what was
going to happen, he knew the Empire was going to rise and he bailed, instead of staying
by the Jedi. He wasn’t a Sith yet but he wanted to and (maybe) killing clones
was his way of getting attention. Star Wars was built around the idea that the
dark side corrupts. The dark side is marked by “negative emotions” such as
fear, pain, anger, etc. my guess is, once Krell had his visions he succumbed to
these emotions. The Jedi detachment probably didn’t help.

“Master Yoda, you and I have been
close since I was a boy. An infant. Yet
if ending this war one week sooner—one day sooner—were to require that I
sacrifice your life, you know I would.” “As you should,” Yoda said. “As I would yours, young Obi-Wan. As any
Jedi would any other, in the cause of peace.” [Matthew Stover. Revenge of
the Sith]

This is not very different from what
happened to Dooku, Anakin and Barriss. The Jedi completely fails to instill
personal loyalty. When you grow up hearing your life is worth sacrificing for
the good of the many, it’s not that hard to sacrifice other people.

These characters saw something was wrong, they
had no emotional support, no voice and no power to change things so they made a
choice. They turned on the Jedi. They realized this side wasn’t working for
them so they left. I’m not saying what they did was right but when you look at
the bigger picture you can see why it happened so many times.

These characters reached a breaking
for different reasons and with different goals in mind. Dooku wanted to save
the galaxy, Anakin wanted to save Padmé, Barriss wanted to expose the Order and
Krell wanted to survive Order 66. You know what they had in common? They all
had lost hope in the Jedi Order’s ability to help them, to do something proactive
to change a future they feared.  And they
all took a lot of innocent lives as a result.

Why Krell did what he did is not a mystery.
The bigger question here is why no one noticed?  Unlike the other Jedi who betrayed the Order,
Krell was working against them from inside the Temple for years. His high death
toll was public knowledge. That’s why Krell’s actions are so tragic and frustrating: they went ignored. And that’s why I can’t buy for a second this idea that the members of
the Jedi Council cared more about clones lives than Anakin. Do you know who
Krell reported to? Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Obi-wan Kenobi, Yoda, etc. They knew
and they never questioned anything.

Krell is a garbage person but if you
put yourself in his shoes it’s not hard to understand why he chose Dooku over
Yoda. With Dooku he at least had the possibility
of something different.

PS: don’t
worry about insulting Krell. He is despicable and in this house we have no
sympathy for him.
