tholme is such a mood for real

Jedi: Aayla Secura is a mixed bag of utter trash and absolute gold, but I think my favorite thing is how Tholme just automatically rolls his eyes every time Dark Woman opens her mouth. 

[bg-11]

What are your thoughts regarding An'ya Kuro/The Dark Woman?

Well, she was definitely a skilled Jedi, though a little extreme. Abandoning her name seems a little bit much.

[stellanslashgeode]

Me and a friend were talking about how, in her mind, the light side of the force corresponds to the cosmic force and the living force to the dark side "due to how the Living Force is closely intertwined to life and its rhythms, of which intense emotions are an adaptation to survive successfully in, per its fundamental savagery and discord Conversely, the serenity in which is required to commune successfully with the Cosmic Force seems to be that which is prized by the Light" and something I find interesting is how (At least back in Legends. I have no idea what's going on in canon nowadays.) the light side seemed to deal more with matter and how the force interacts with it.

Jedi An'ya Kuro figured out how to walk through walls and teleport. Vergere (before she fell) figured out how to reduce her force presence to the molecular scale to both camouflage herself and tweak around with molecules with the force. A Jedi master on Mustafar figured out how to molecularly transmute things like full metal alchemist. The Jedi had something called a wall of light which fucking incinerated Yavin 4 in a planet-sized firestorm, cut off a Sith lord from the force permanently and was used to permakill a sith ghost.

Oh and Luke had something called a golden flash which I can only imagine as a black flash from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Something you may have noticed is that this involves a lot of precision and delicate work with matter and how the force interacts with it (except the planet-sized firestorm thing). The cosmic force is (As I understand it) the aspect of the force that deals with matter, space and time. It's the part that binds the galaxy together. The Sith only seem more powerful because they care enough to flaunt that power and make the power the point.

Honestly I think they should bring bring this aspect of the Jedi back. The entire reason for the Grey Jedi wank is that Jedi don't get any cool space magic BS in canon and most of the flashy stuff from legends is obscure and esoteric. Lightsaber duels are cool the first couple time but it gets boring without variety. Just let Jedi and Sith be shonen anime characters is what I am saying.

I think you and your friend are onto something here. The Sith would care more about the Living Force because it's more immediate, it's all about survival and is generated and diffused though living things. So, it fits their goals with altering and dominating others, natural lifespan longevity, stuff like that. To catch you up with canon one of the beloved things we lost are Sith Force ghosts, which would definitely tie them more to the Living than the Cosmic. Why care about the Cosmic Force at all if once you shuffle off this mortal coil, that's it. There's a lot of weirdness with Force ghosts in current canon, you wouldn't believe it (mostly having to do with Qui-Gon Jinn and Season 6 of TCW).

In my mind Cosmic and Living is a bit like yin and yang. Living beings radiate with the Living Force and once they die that life energy (soul?) is released into that space between atoms to diffuse throughout the galaxy. It eventually coalesces in stellar nurseries and when new stars, planets, and life evolves boom! It gets converted back into the Living Force.

The Cosmic Force also is associated with fate, visions of the future and the past, sensing things very far away (like mass-casualty events), that sort of thing.

Therefore, there's nothing inherently good or bad with either. It's just how the Force faith engages with them. Both are far older than the Jedi or Sith. Good and Evil are as well.

Come to think of it, wasn't Abeloth a Cosmic Force kind of gal? Seems like the Daughter was more a Living Force kind of gal and the Son and Father more Cosmic? I guess it's debatable. All that Mortis stuff is debatable. From a certain point of view.

Star Wars Characters (C)

Chiim Seytha, an Elomin Seer

The elomin have undergone a quite interesting visual evolution since their introduction into the Galaxy Far, Far Away. Seriously, if you think the twi'leks and togruta look different between mediums, look up some elomin illustrations sometime. This reflects the latest iteration of the species, and my personal favorite. The outfit is directly inspired by the one worn by the Dark Lady An'ya Kuro when she fought her famous lightsaber duel with Darth Vader on Cophrigin V (Legends continuity). This character is a Force-Sensitive who has prophetic visions equally accurate and inscrutable. She's about as true neutral as you get, but she serves an absolutely divine Thoshu-Root Tea.

Just spent too much time making an awful The Dark Woman meme it's bad out here

Posting it won't just stay in my gallery for nothing

[thehollowprince]

The tags of the person who reblogged this from me reminded me of a few more Jedi that I love to the moons and back.

First up, T'ra Saa.

A Neti (living plant) who was ancient and in the Legends continuity, the jedi who trained Mace Windu. She sadly wasn't featured all that much, but when she was, she made an impression.

After the fall of the Empire and the Establishment of the New Republic and subsequently Luke's Jedi Praxium, she went on to become a member of the High Council, sacrificing herself to fend off the One Sith when the found the Hidden Temple.

Which leads me to, Master Tholme.

This cranky old man was the master who trained Quinlan Vos, and during the Clone Wars, he led was basically the head of the Jedi's intelligence network throughout the galaxy.

Fun fact, for all those people who hate the Jedi because they're "not allowed to love," Masters Tholme and T'ra Saa were lovers. They acknowledged that their duty to the Order and the Republic came first, but they still loved each other unconditionally. In fact, when Tholme eventually passed away due to old age, after Order 66, T'ra Saa planted herself on his grave in mourning.

Next up, we have everyone's favorite survivor, K'kruhk!

The ultimate survivor, who lives through three wars and even survived an encounter with General Grievous himself in his first appearance in the Clone Wars. If anyone watched the old Clone Wars cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network back in the day, this was him.

He survives all these encounters that should kill him because of his death sleep, where he goes into a kind of hibernation trance where he appears dead, but isn't, drawing on the Force to heal himself.

He gets more love, like most of these Jedi, in the Legends comics, even going on to be a member of the same council as T'ra Saa, and helping broker a peace between the Jedi, the Republic and the Fel Empire.

And lastly, the dreaded Dark Woman

Originally known as An'ya Kuro, she gave up her own name to dedicate herself to the Jedi Order and the Force. She trained notable Jedi Master and future Councilor Ki-Adi-Mundi, as well as Aurra Sing and A'sharad Hett, the latter of whom eventually fell to the dark side and became Darth Krayt.

She's known for her harsh and punishing teaching style, but also gets some pretty cool Force powers out of it.

She can full on walk through walls!

She meets her end at the hands of Darth Vadar, but has the last laugh in the end.

List of Jedi that are Perfect

So listen, I know Obi-Wan has a lot of fans who will endlessly talk about how perfect he is and that he invented perfection. However, I would like to put forward that the Jedi in general some other Jedi also are perfect and invented perfection. Here is a very small number of them.

Luminara Unduli

She makes sure she’s prepared, loves her padawan, and is very good at staying focused. She also is good at accepting reality and growing as a person. Have I mentioned that she’s also just really nice? Plus, she pulls off black better than any Sith.

Kit Fisto

He’s cheerful, loves his former Padawan, and is very good at puzzles. He is also good at accepting reality. Did I mention that he’s also very kind? Plus, you can’t deny he has a good smile.

Mace Windu

He is dutiful, focused, and patient. He is also cool and composed. Did I mention that he’s also super nice and kind as well? And you can’t deny the coolness that is purple lightsaber.

Yoda

Possibly the most perfect of all. He is wise, humorous, and kind. He also loves teaching, his grandpadawans, and teaching his grandpadawans. Did I mention that he loves all the Jedi and loves teaching them? And there is no denying he is a great frog grandpa.

(If anyone else wants to add on to this with a Jedi you think is perfect, or talk more about the ones I already listed, feel free. The only rule I’m laying down is no Obi-Wan, because there is more then enough on the internet about how Obi-Wan is perfect.)

Ki-Adi-Mundi Looks to Master Yoda

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:25:48

In Legends, Ki-Adi-Mundi was originally the only Jedi Knight elected to the High Council, but it appears that’s been changed in Canon to him being a master as well.

With his prominence in the Star Wars (1998) comic from Dark Horse, there was a lot of backstory for Mundi and his species that is unlikely to be developed as thoroughly in Canon now, so these details aren’t currently contradicted by anything new - yet.

[postapocalyptic-cryptic]

Okay so I’ve been thinking about Quinlan and Jon Antilles and I’ve been thinking about Quinlan and Obi-Wan immediately post-Melida/Daan and I’ve been thinking about Quinlan being a traumatized child who can’t even remember most of what happened to him (because you can’t tell me a house where the aunt killed the mom and took it out on the kid was a happy home) and is just stuck being like this and

When Obi-Wan and Quinlan become friends, Quinlan is four and he hardly talks at all and when he does it’s loud and excited and none of the other kids would really like him if he wasn’t such a fun playmate. Tholme embraces it. Quinlan needs to adjust.

When Obi-Wan goes away to Bandomeer, Quinlan cries. Tholme expected it.

When Obi-Wan comes back from Melida/Daan, he’s traumatized and quiet and hard to get along with, but at this point, Tholme’s learned that his padawan is nothing if not strange and loving and determined, so he gets used to having another traumatized child in his house.

When Quinlan goes on his first solo mission at sixteen, Tholme is furious because it’s too early even if the Council says they need more Shadows in the field. He can hardly sleep for the month and a half Quinlan’s gone and then Quinlan comes back and he’s towing An'ya Kuro’s padawan. An’ya Kuro is not happy about this. Quinlan is a sweet-talker and now Jon is staying in their quarters and really, Tholme should know by now that Quinlan will never fill the hole in his chest that screams what happened to me and why can’t I ever be happy and it’s not fair, it’s been so long, so he’s just going to keep finding others and filling their empty spaces for them.

Tholme loves his kid, but half his Temple healthcare fund is used to buy space Advil.
