Starting your day with an early morning run is a great way to make sure your day can't get any worse than it started.

Corran Horn

Let me think; the was Wedge Anchovies, Celcho Tychu, the hot bothan, Biggs' cousin the furry, Piggy, Morrt the Ewok, Wes Johnson, and then one of Luke's jedi . . . Kyp Horn, that was it!

WIP Wednesday: Wardrobe changes and the Errant Venture

In I, Jedi, after he sneaks onto Corellia to visit his grandfather, Corran returns to the Errant Venture where he runs into Mara.

Here is some of that encounter from Mara's perspective...

I slung Calrissian’s cape over my shoulder and tried to smile at what he would say when he saw his closet. While it was entirely possible I’d have to play that role eventually in our investigation, it was pointless to try it here on the Venture. Booster clearly didn’t even buy our romance cover story let alone me having some sort of personality transplant. 

But Mirax’s absence was only more obvious as I spent more time on the ship and I found myself wandering a bit more aimlessly than I would have preferred. Really I should have been sitting on the Diamond level indulgently watching Calrissian play Sa’bacc or whatever else he’d been gambling on up there, but while I’d played that role suitably the day before, I really didn’t feel like it now.

I passed the tapcaf we’d shared a pastry at and was stunned to realize that had been more than a year ago now, almost two. She’d been gone so long. The confidence I’d offered Faughn a few weeks back withered in the face of that realization. It started to seem less and less likely that she’d be found. 

As I contemplated giving into my grief, the longing inside me was suddenly magnified and I realized it wasn’t just mine anymore. I’d been away from Force sensitives long enough that I hadn’t been maintaining my shields. I tugged them back up as I recognized that a familiar presence had dropped out of hyperspace. Someone who definitely had more reason to long for Mirax at the mere sight of the Venture.

I pulled my comlink off my belt and got on Booster’s frequency.

“What is it Jade?”

“Your son in law is here. When you’re done with him can you send him to my landing bay? I need to talk to him about my ship.”

“Of course I will.” he replied, shifting smoothly from surprised to pleased, no doubt at the idea that I would make Horn suffer for the state of my headhunter.

I didn’t have to wait that long, but between my sadness and restlessness, I was feeling impatient, and after a while, I decided to go find them. I quickly realized Booster had cleared Horn for the same docking bay as my ship. That would simplify things.

I re-adjusted the cape, wondering for the 17th time in the past hour how in space Calrissian wore these things all the time, and strode stiffly towards the two men having a far more genial conversation than their reputations would lead one to expect. 

I got in earshot just in time to hear Booster say something about seeing to Calrissian’s comfort.

“Don’t concern yourself that much with it.” I growled as I attempted to balance the cape on my right. What was it made of that made it swing so much?

Horn looked amused: “aren’t you in some sort of business with him?”

“Some sort, yes.” I grumbled, not wanting to pretend in front of a friend, but also not feeling like explaining anything. The fewer beings who knew what we were actually up to, the better. Horn seemed baffled by my outfit though so I figured I could at least explain how I wound up in Calrissian’s clothes.

“I bet he loves  that,” Horn chuckled as I complained that Calrissian’s tunics were too tight in the shoulders.”

“He doesn’t.” I smiled in a way I knew wasn’t all that pleasant and decided that I would likely continue to steal Calrissian’s clothes to bother him. And then I remembered all the questions I wanted to ask. They all boiled down to one thing.

“How was Luke when you left the academy?”

I've only managed to get though about half of the Jedi Academy trilogy so far, and I didn't pay much attention, but I noted that at least I Jedi made it pretty decisively sound like Kam Solusar had been in the original Jedi Order, when he was trained by his father before going to the dark side and then working for Palpatine.

More recently, I heard a lore YouTuber (the only one that I trust enough to watch at all) summarize it as Ranik having been in the original Order, and then having trained Kam after the Purge, and it leads me to conclude that got retconned somewhere later down the line.

For the sake of the narrative about how little Luke knew of the original Jedi, and to line it up a little more with the things we've come to know of the original Jedi since those books were written, I think it would be a reasonable enough retcon.

Wishlisting for Ahsoka and Fallen Order 3

Fallen order first, because it's more important

More companion interactions and fighting

Return of the puzzles from fallen order

Codex organized by story

More side quests

Force power even more integrated into the story and gameplay

Ahsoka (because it would be cool but probably wouldn't get, I have no trust in the current show runners)

If she is a force user Sabine relies that she need to be both a Jedi and a Mandalorian. Like the story in 'I, Jedi'

Related the bad guys are a new force tradition and only working with the bad guys because the Jedi scare them.

Ahsoka relies that she needs to learn a new way and Sabine would be the first of the new force users

This hair dye has got to be the most sci-fi thing in all of Star Wars

You eat a METABOLIZING AGENT and put on COLOR TARGETING GEL and then wait a specified amount of time depending on the color you want and it stays in your hair for ONE YEAR

i think perhaps the most annoying/exhausting phenomenon in existence is when something kind of genuinely sucks but it has, like, a female lead or whatever so half the people that are saying it sucks are nightmare people that unironically call things "woke garbage" and the other half are people that just like. have a basic sense of story structure and knowledge of character arcs as a concept that quite reasonable think this thing sucks. BUT it gets assumed that 100% of people who think it sucks are in that first half and then there's a backlash TO the backlash and all along it's still not a good fucking story. I call this "The twilight phenomena" because it got a lot of hate because of a mockery of teenage girls when it had well deserved hate for the like racism and misogyny and the throwaway detail that a grown ass man is somehow romantic soulmates with a quite literal baby.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

I used to dream of his presence disappearing from the galaxy like that. Lifeless body on a slab. Dreamed it and laughed.

Just in time for the holidays, here are the final 2 chapters of Lightsabers Are Always Loaded. Mara returns to the academy just in time to play a minor role in defeating Exar Kun - and to question her choices once again.

Lightsabers Are Always Loaded: Chapter 32

Lightsabers Are Always Loaded: Chapter 33

Thanks for reading and supporting this story. Part 3 will be awhile but it is in the works!
