KOTOR - The Tales of Jolee Bindo - The Man and the Snake

Jolee tells a fable about a man and a snake. Try and figure out what metaphor exactly he's driving at.

I know what Jolee is saying. The young boy was not following the snake at all, knowing it was dangerous he tried to lead it where it could harm no one. He probably knew of the risk but gave it all to protect innocents. This may forshadow of how Revan left to the Outer Rim on his own, trying to lead the True Sith away from his friends without causing them harm.

Jolee is my favorite Jedi of all time.

Revan was originally the snake when he led Malak into the Mandolorian Wars and Malak was the boy, who of course is eventually killed by Revan, the snake. Revan is still the snake when Jolee Bindo joins the party, and Jolee becomes the boy, since Revan clears the way through the small village of Kashyyk and gets rid of poachers so Jolee can leave, with the potential of being betrayed by Revan at the Rakaten Temple. Finally, Revan is the boy and the Sith Emperor the snake, since he captures Revan.

I love Jolee Bindo. Gray Jedi have no side but the Force. Light Side, Dark Side, there's no such thing except in the minds of people. He gets that, when so few others do.

I never understood the meaning of this story.

You listen to my story damnit! Lolz he's right up there with my dad in telling stories.

Jolee is way better than Kreia. You don't need to be super mysterious to be wise.

@SpawnMoreOverlords I like Jolee b/c all of his explanations and metaphors and philosophical stuff would have been a great way to explain the Jedi and emotion thing in the movies. The movies downgrade it too much. Not that they're awful but the average person might not understand why the Jedi are the way they r and why Jolee left b/c of their stubborness. It applies to real life in more ways than 1 and in a bigger way than ppl realize.

I disagree with people saying Jolee Bindo is light side. He is neutral when it comes to the force. Jolee is a very GOOD character, but I think they were trying to draw a distinction with him, a distinction between being a good or wise character and just devotion to being "light" or "dark" Jolee devotes himself to wisdom and his own perceived good more than pidgeonholing himself into an ideology

@MegaBadbooy50

exactly, that's what I was trying to say, and you're right, he IS just as much light side as everybody else
