#Traditions of the Jedi

[firerose]

So the empire was after force sensitive children

Bounty hunters were after force sensitive children

The inquisitors were after force sensitive people in general

So……why did Baylan think it was a good idea for Shin to wear a Padawan braid?

#Okay #maybe he found her #After mount Tantiss #Was destroyed and Hemlock was dead #But the empire still searches for a #Force sensitive child #In Mandalorian #So I dont think Hemlocks #Death stoppeed #His experiments from happening #Or maybe Shin put on the Padawan #Braid after the empire fell #As a sign that the old #Traditions of the Jedi #Survived the empire #Because she knew #That would make Baylan happy #shin hati #baylan skoll #wolf pack #bad batch

What happens when a Jedi Initiate dies?

It cannot always be prevented, the galaxy is a dangerous place, especially for children, and the Jedi are still only mortal.

Accidents happen. Illnesses exist.

Tragedies do too.

The Crèchemasters are highly trained to prevent that, of course, but they too are only mortal. They too can fail.

The death of an Initiate is a heavy burden, for the entire Temple. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is a heavy burden. It is from that burden that one of the Order's most sacred traditions stems from.

They may die an Initiate, but they will not join the Force without guidance.

When an Initiate dies, they automatically gain the rank of Padawan – no matter their age. They will posthumously be taken in by a Master and be gifted a braid and a lineage. If they already found their crystal and built their saber, these too will be taken care of by their new Master.

Some Masters of such Ghost-Padawans, especially those who had a bond before their passing, will live the following years as if they had a living student. They will not take on another until the Force or they themselves deems them ready, at which point the High Council will hold a honorary Knighting.

Because while the Order might lose an Initiate, no Initiate will ever be left alone.

#a bit of #star wars meta #for your consideration :) #inspired by the concept of ghost marriages #and my staunch belief that the jedi are found family galore #for a people that has one of its core tenants be 'there is no death only the force' such a tradition would simply make sense #star wars headcanons #star wars #me writing #random boli thoughts #the jedi #jedi order #jedi padawan #also you know the inherent tragedy of other padawans of the same master having a lineage sibling that never was alive to meet them #and the beauty of them still counting as full members of a lineage #jedi as found family #to put it in ao3 terms :)

I really hate it when people say stuff to the effect of "Jedi didn’t need to end, but the Jedi Order needed to be erased" as if those are two mutually exclusive things!

"The people who make up a culture don't need to die but their culture does" is not the profound take you think it is!

To be a Jedi is to be a part of the Jedi Order and vice versa, you cannot have one without the other, the Jedi Order isn't just an organization, it's histories, traditions, philosophy, it's a way of life, what is a Jedi without the Jedi Order!?

individuals like Ezra, Luke, or Rey who became Jedi after Order 66 are not just Jedi, they are a part of and the continuation of the Jedi Order

Luke’s biggest character flaw isn’t impatience or arrogance… it’s reckless optimism.

Like, Luke doesn’t actually think he can beat Darth Fucking Vader in a fight. He wants to get revenge, yeah, but he doesn’t think he’s a better fighter than Darth Vader, he thinks he’s luckier than Darth Vader.

Luke isn’t actually suicidal, despite how little effort you’d have to put in to provide evidence that he could be. He thinks, no, he knows he’s lucky. He’s used to being lucky, even. His survival tactics all sort of depend on Luke being the luckiest person in the room at any given time.

And he isn’t actually all that lucky, that’s pretty obvious, but he really just thinks “If I stay alive long enough, things will eventually just work out.” Like he believes in the Force before he even knows about the Force, almost. Some thingd are just supposed to happen, and his own continued existence as a free man is one of those things, so if he waits long enough, an opportunity will eventually show itself and all Luke has to do is grab it.

He is stupidly optimistic about his chances. But, he’s also not wrong? Like, he doesn’t win his fight against Vader, but he’s also one of the only people who have fought Vader twice and not died either time. He went and rescued Leia without a plan beyond “rescue Leia” and he made it out relatively unscathed. He got captured by a wampa and hypothermia, one right after the other, and he only has to spend a bit of time floating in space jell-o that isn’t quite set. He goes to Dagobah and gets the training he requests from Yoda, despite Yoda not wanting to train him. He rescues Han from Jabba the Hutt, and he doesn’t get fed to a sarlacc in the process.

But really, just look at his final fight with Vader. Luke just honestly believes that everything will be fine. He really thinks he can just ask his dad to please chill out and Vader will. Luke tells the literal actual Emperor of the entire fucking galaxy “No. I will not become evil. And I won’t be evil because I’m not actually angry at anyone.” Luke is the luckiest man alive, because he is still somehow alive.

Heir to the Empire really has him thinking “If I stay alive long enough, an opportunity will present itself” on the planet Myrkr. As in, the planet covered in ysalamiri that cut him off entirely from the Force. As in, Luke doesn’t feel the Force telling him to be patient because it’ll all work out. Luke just believes that.

And it only really hit me as I read that novel. Luke is aggressively, stupidly, recklessly optimistic at all times about his chances of survival. Like, he is one meta joke away from just being actively aware that he is a protagonist and therefore can’t die in the middle of a plot. He’s optimistic about his own life, his dad’s life, his sister’s life, his droid’s life; Luke is the most optimistic man alive.

He is not the most cheerful person. There’s a difference between optimism and happiness, and Luke is a character who is constantly doubting himself, but he also just fully believes in his own ability to stay alive. Like he thinks “As long as I’m in mostly one piece, that’s a success :)” He thinks “wow I’m a terrible Jedi. I don’t know what a Jedi is, but I’m pretty sure I suck at it,” while at the same time being the character who believes in and listens to the Force more than Qui-Gon Jinn.

All this to say, I really hope that one day I can be as optimistic as Luke Skywalker. That man felled a galactic Empire with enthusiastic optimism and familial love alone, I wanna be like that.

#luke skywalker #star wars novels #star wars original trilogy #heir to the empire #thrawn trilogy #luke is the most reckless man i can think of #because of his reckless optimism #i love him #all this to say #luke didn’t live fifty reckless years #spending all of that time thinking well it’ll probs all work out #for disney to portray him this way #luke is distant and zoned out and suicidally optimistic #he also has no idea what a jedi is #and i can’t help but feel that he would look at a description #then think back to yoda and obi wan #then try to emulate obi wan #and no one who wants to be a traditional jedi #should try to emulate obi wan #the inane ramblings of a madman #do not speak to me #luke is living force all the way #it’s the only explanation

A new Master and Padawan duo!

Had a lot of fun making them, I’m attached to them now ahdhsjfh

(Bonus of Suan before and after Order 66)

#Star Wars #star wars the clone wars #star wars oc #jedi oc #original characters #original character #ocs #love their duo so much aaaa #i like more how suan looks after order 66 than before GAHSGDHSH #bro survived a traumatic event and became hotter as a result #doodles #i also did my research and apparently mirialan Jedi usually train other mirialans as tradition #but i figured that suan wouldn’t mind training a non mirialan #he probably was so excited he FINALLY got a Padawan that he didn’t give a fuck

nothing gets to me about star wars like the fact that ahsoka and rex were forced to leave dead brothers discarded and abandoned in the ruins of war literally day after day, battle after battle, and the first thing they do when the war is over is take the time to bury the dead.

#ahsoka #rex #captain rex #star wars clone wars #clone wars #ahsoka tano #ill bet you 100 republic credits it was ahsoka’s idea #rex was raised on war running on autopilot; compartmentalising; running through the mental mission checklist of a soldier #when he takes note of ahsoka standing there #rex has been conditioned to see leaving the dead behind as an act of efficiency; burials are a luxury you don’t have on the battlefield #he honestly doesn’t even think to do anythjng other than walk away from the rubble where his brothers lie #it might seem callous but it’s all he’s ever known; he’s done it a million times #but ahsoka? #honouring the dead is supposed to be a sacred part of jedi tradition because life itself is sacred #and yet the jedi taught her to leave them behind battle after battle; nothing #even while they insisted on the tradition whenever a jedi died like kalifa or master piell #but never for the clones; like they didn’t count #as if their fate wasn’t in glaring contradiction with everything the jedi stood for #so when the war is over #and she stands before the wreckage #she says to herself; no. no more. #i choose compassion #i will honour the dead #its not a victory. they didn’t win. they survived but it’s not a victory. #but this burial is a mercy they didn’t have in wartime #and; by the force; they take it
