Asillyloner - Hello There

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE JEDI ORDER IN STAR WARS CANON, PART II [A Meta/Reference Guide on AO3] aka, SO WHAT DO THE JEDI SAY AND DO IN THE ACTUAL CANON? This is the second part in my series of Jedi Culture and Teachings in Canon, which was originally meant to be a much smaller project, but then The High Republic came out and suddenly I can barely keep up with all the new lore!  Which means that this is part 2 of what will probably (I hope) be a four part series, given a rough estimate, just hopefully not two years between now and the next one.  orz One of the biggest motivations I’ve had is to compare how the High Republic books seem to be working to be pretty true to George Lucas’ philosophies and visions of both Star Wars and the Jedi, so there’s a mix of canon sources citations and George Lucas commentary, separated out into eras so that you can get a feel for each one.  While there are some minor differences between the High Republic Jedi Order and the prequels Jedi Order, I’ve found that they’re by and large basically the same exact people with the same exact culture and same exact beliefs and actions, and a huge part of this project was getting to lay a lot of that out! The guide is broken down into seven sections as before: SECTION 1 - HOW THE FORCE WORKS SECTION 2 - JEDI CULTURE & PHILOSOPHY & TEACHINGS SECTION 3 - JEDI AS A PEOPLE SECTION 4 - PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARDS DOING PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARD THINGS SECTION 5 - JEDI TEMPLES SECTION 6 - JEDI AND THE BIGGER GALAXY SECTION 7 - JEDI, BUDDHISM, AND EVERYTHING ELSE Hopefully, this guide will be useful to those who are looking to use it to write fic or just want to see a nerdy project!  None of this is meant as any kind of value judgement on Legends or people who aren’t interested in this stuff or don’t like the Jedi, instead it’s a guide to a) the bigger themes of the Jedi in the source material and b) a list of references if you want to check out the source material yourself, which I always heartily recommend!  That and an attempt to organize my reference and meta tags because they’re definitely a mess. 😂

This is totally what I think is going on.

Luke is not making grogu choose between being a jedi or mando, he is asking if grogu wants to be a jedi or not.

Like Ahsoka said, the teacher also learns from the student. Luke is trying to learn from Grogu, if what he's doing is okay or not - If Grogu wants to be a jedi or does he want to be with Din, his father. Cuz ofcourse Luke knows what it's like to be longing for your father! He spent 19 years on Tatooine with that same feeling of loneliness, of longing for his true father!!! Luke would NOT want to force that feeling on Grogu.

Considering everything that I know of star wars (whichisnotmuch) , this scene is very revolutional. Jedi takes kids away from their parents, yes, but it is under the agreement of the parents or gurdians. BUT have they ever CLEARY told a child what they were gonna do to them? To tell the kid they are gonna take to the temple that "we are gonna make you a jedi because you kinda have space magic talent and it's hard to be a lone force sensitive in a bunch of non-force sensitive people AND we will totally seperate you from your mom/dad/etc :) "??

I've noticed people missing the point of Grogu's choice

"Well why can't he have both? Why can't he be a Jedi who honors the mandalorian culture he was adopted into?"

That's not the issue here

Grogu could totally be a Jedi and embrace the traditions of his adopted father

But he needs to choose whether or not he wants to be a Jedi

“If I keep refreshing ao3 the exact fic I want to read with the exact dynamics and characterizations I want will appear and I won’t have to write it myself” the ongoing saga by me.

y’all feel me on this one

Happy Valentine's Day besties and beloveds!

Here's a gift from your mod, Cannibalistic Bread Product 🥐

I got this one commissioned while Star Dads was still in construction, before epiosde 5 TBOBF was launched. Pleasantly surprised and pleased that it's done right on 14th Feb so I can share it with you all!

The artist is @sparkledork-art . If you like AoT, Les Miserables (like me), go pay his blog a visit. The commission chart is still on!

Once again, wish you all a lovely, lovely day in general 🖤💚
