"Jedi must ignore their feelings." "That's quite a statement. Is it your own?" "Yes." Then the boy considered. "Well... Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan said much the same." "I think you misunderstood," Mace said. "Jedi do not ignore their feelings. They integrate them. Own them. They fear, but they are not afraid of fear. They grow angry, but they allow their anger to motivate only honorable action. Do you understand?" The boy nodded, but Mace knew he did not --yet. There was time. -Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, pg 24

HELLO HI YES I AM CURRENTLY GOING INSANE OVER THE NYCC SW BOOKS PANEL BECAUSE LOOK AT PRETTY JEDI ARMOR

THE IMPLICATIONS THAT THE JEDI TEMPLE GUARD ARMOR ARE SOME OF THE LAST LIVING STYLISTIC REMNANTS OF THE HIGH REPUBLIC. THE (fully my assumptions ahead) POSSIBILITY THAT THE ARMOR IS PASSED DOWN FROM THE ERA OF FIGHTING AGAINST THE SITH. I WILL BE CHEWING ON THE WALLS UNTIL WE GET CONTEXT AND BACKSTORY FOR THIS.

screaming, crying, going feral, absolutely inconsolable because Bail is doing exactly what the jedi would have wanted him to and he doesn't even know it

he's looking for forgiveness even though he's letting go, leaving behind the grief, anger and obsession that drove him through the book and choosing love and the future which is the jedi way

I am unwell. I am absolutely unwell over this book

and guess who does the same just a few pages later

I am never recovering from this

your art is so cute!! I want to hug all the characters. also I am totally vibing with your amputee Ezra and genderified Kanan headcannons

i see you have recently finished a new dawn as well—welcome to Kanera brain rot ville :)

Ahhhh thank you! I’m super glad the art has been a vibe! And whilst I don’t have any new Kanera to offer just yet, I do have some general “A New Dawn” doodles from the past week to offer instead ✌️

I love Star Wars novels so much because they're either the most jaw-dropping awe-inspiring life-changing worldbuilding and canon add-ons that you've ever seen or the dumbest more needless shit ever. And there's no way of knowing what will be which and sometimes they're in the same book! What could be better!

I'm continuing to love this Mace Windu book for how it portrays the Jedi lifestyle (and also, it's just a fun and engaging read):

The continued emphasis on the Jedi “discipline” as not a stuffy, fun-hating rule, but something the culture chooses and enjoys and finds soothing, a common form of self-care for psychic empaths, hooked mentally into the overwhelming all-powerful energy source at the heart of existence. It makes sense, I love it.

Once again, a Jedi going off on a mission of personal importance rather than Official Jedi Business and the Council is totally fine with it, Yoda even encourages Mace to go and gives him a pep talk to stay at it when he's feeling discouraged on said personal trip

 YES I KNEW JEDI PRACTICED THEIR FORMS ALONE UNARMED/WITH THEIR LIGHTSABERS OFF I KNEW IT - really, Mace's relationship to Vaapad is depicted right out of my lightsaber form loving dreams. It's SO personal. It's such a big part of his life.

Oddly touched by Mace thinking about how much sleep he gets (usually six hours) and then getting cranky and disoriented when he’s having insomnia/bad dreams and it gets knocked down to three-ish. Y'all know I have a weakness for Jedi running up against their normal living being physical limits despite being fancy space wizards.

Love this moment so much, an old master landing on a new planet and reaching out with the Force, their fallen apprentice sensing them and freaking out. It’s so classic Star Wars!

Hoping we get more titbits about their relationship in Vernestra’s Wayseeker novel. 🤞🏼

Jedi Quest: Trail of the Jedi by Jude Watson

Jedi masters to the students 😂

[jeronandor]

there is some really great rogue one/andor stuff in chris kempshall's the rise and fall of the galactic empire

It was so unlike Obi-Wan to be incoherent. It was his articulate self-possession in the face of danger that so impressed her. Even though [Padme] hadn’t entirely forgiven him for his interference in her life, she felt a surge of pity.

For all our differences, she thought, We have this one thing in common. We both love Anakin and we always will.
