I feel like the dynamic between Jedi Council members was criminally underutilized. While this isn’t canon, here are my headcanons on how things really went down.

Mace Windu:

I’ve done the math (badly), and I’m pretty sure Mace was around the same age as Xanatos. Which means Mace is like Obi-Wan’s unofficial older padawan brother. Obi-Wan didn’t ask for this, but let’s be real—he probably needed it. Not that Obi-Wan would recognize this dynamic. He’s part of the disaster lineage, so he wouldn’t know what a typical older brother acts like.

Mace seamlessly switches between “Head of the Council” mode and “exasperated big brother” mode. Except, of course, when he’s making Obi-Wan do all the paperwork.

Mace: "You're good at taxes, Kenobi. I’m just letting you shine."
Obi-Wan: "I'm too honored to be insulted."

Yarael Poof:

This guy? Bigger gremlin energy than Yoda. And petty. Poof has perpetual beef with Ki-Adi-Mundi and finds great joy in trolling him. He’s the kind of guy who would take micro-naps during meetings just because “It’s only Mundi talking, everyone relax.”

Poof: "What was that, Mundi? Couldn't hear you over my sheer disinterest."
Mundi: "I will demote you to Youngling wrangler, Poof."

Ki-Adi-Mundi:

The most logical thinker on the Council. He’s here to do his job, clock in, clock out, and keep the galaxy running. Unfortunately, the galaxy includes Qui-Gon and Poof, so it’s not happening. He despises surprises and strongly prefers order.

Poof: snoring in the corner

Mundi: "I swear to the Force, Poof..."

Even Piell:

Blunt. Gruff. Won’t lead a discussion but will absolutely cut into one. He’s the Jedi equivalent of “the friend who knows where to hide the body.”

Piell: "You’re the diplomat, Kenobi. I’m here to look mean so bad guys think twice."
Obi-Wan: "What if we both look peaceful?"
Piell: "We’ll die."

Gretz Doom:

The guy who grew up with Qui-Gon and spent his childhood teasing his clanmates, Gretz is now the Council’s strictest rule-follower. Why? Because he knows that if you mess with the Senate, the Senate will mess with the Jedi’s budget and oversight.

Doom: "Qui-Gon, did you directly disobey the Council again?"

Qui-Gon: "In fairness, the Council is often wrong."

Doom: "You’re lucky they don’t garnish your missions like they do our budget."

Tera Sinube (Retired):

The ultimate grandpa Jedi. Gives unsolicited advice, tells the same stories repeatedly, and refuses to admit that lightsaber duels aren’t "like they used to be."

Sinube: "Back in my day, we didn’t have fancy starships."
Youngling: "How did you travel?"
Sinube: "We walked. Uphill. Both ways. Through asteroid fields."

Youngling: "In space?"

Obi-Wan Kenobi:

Obi-Wan wanted to join the Council, found out it was a trap, and tried to quit—repeatedly. Every time he tries to mess up to get kicked out, he accidentally makes the galaxy better. Mace keeps him around because Obi-Wan’s life is the Jedi’s best unintentional reality show.

Mace: "Kenobi, you caused an intergalactic scandal again?"
Obi-Wan: "Yes, but the scandal resulted in peace treaties for three systems, so..."
Mace: "We are still not accepting you resignation letter"

Obi-Wan: “drats!”

Yaddle:

The only one brave enough to call Yoda out. Wise, patient, and kind, but she will not suffer riddles.

Yoda: "Difficult, the path is."
Yaddle: "The budget’s tight. Just say that, Yoda."

Oppo Rancisis:

A reserved and analytical mind, Oppo specializes in strategy and seeing the bigger picture. His predictions about a rising Sith threat made him a quiet voice of reason long before others believed it.

Rancisis: "The Sith never vanished. They’re biding their time."

Mundi: "How do you know?"

Rancisis: "I just do.”

Eeth Koth:

An Anakin mirror. Eeth grew up as an angry orphan rescued by the Jedi, but he’s worked hard to control himself. Still, he’s known to clash with Mace and Grezzt Doom—occasionally on purpose. A former hothead turned disciplined Council member, Koth has a soft spot for Jedi who struggle with emotions, having once been in their shoes.

Koth: "Control your emotions, or they’ll control you."

Padawan: "Easier said than done."

Koth: "Trust me, I know. Now pick up your saber, we’re starting over."

Stass Allie:

A brilliant healer and fierce opponent of Senate corruption, Stass doesn’t tolerate nonsense. Most of her "menace energy" is reserved for politicians.

Senator: "The Republic is doing everything it can—"

Stass: "Then do better."

Senator: "I beg your pardon?"

Stass: "You heard me. Now get out of my medbay."

Adi Gallia:

The chillest Jedi off the clock, but the most cynical one during missions. She prefers intelligence to lightsabers (looking at you, Eeth Koth). Has a soft spot for Obi-Wan due to her long friendship with Qui-Gon. A calm and collected intelligence expert, Adi is the Council’s quiet strategist. She despises the war and blames the Senate for exploiting young Jedi.

Gallia: "The Senate sent Padawans to war."

Mace: "We needed soldiers."

Gallia: "We needed peace. What we got was child soldiers."

Yoda:

Wild card. Once a week, he’s doing something so bizarre that the other Council members have to pretend it’s normal.

Mace: "Why is Yoda levitating in the fountain?"

Poof: "Meditation, probably."

ANYONE WHO SAYS THE JEDI AREN'T FUNNY IS WRONG (Star Wars: The Living Force | John Jackson Miller)

[prettyacademia00]

silly headcanon time!!

there's more than just 12 chairs in the jedi high council rooms, but not so many that you can pick too differently, maybe 14-15, and they're all different shapes and sizes depending on the species's needs but now it's become a competition for the best and comfiest chairs and pranks

yoda unnecessarily grabs the biggest one that fits him more like a bed than a chair

obi-wan picks the most dramatic chaise-like chair that he can lounge on

oppo rancisis has it easy cuz no one usually picks his chair unless messing with him

kit brings one of those little inflatable kiddie pools to fill up with water

cue mace being held back for some reason and forced to sit his 6'3 self on the tiniest chairs intended for yoda or yaddle

padawans being sent up ahead of their masters to pick their seat for them!! unfortunately, they may possibly be bribed by other masters

padawan depa always knew which was her master's favorite chair, but master depa??? full on duels between the former master-padawan duo for the chair unless caleb grabbed it for her first

anakin always picked the worst chairs to no one's surprise

[parasiticstars]

Bored so here’s a bunch of Star Wars headcanons I have; specifically for the Jedi Council members. Some of them are absorbed from other people

Ki-Adi-Mundi is really really really tired of people asking him how many extra square feet of fabric it takes to make the robe cover his head. If you MUST know, it’s not feet, and it’s exactly f—

Yarael Poof, however, just makes up increasingly outlandish measurements. If it’s a youngling, he also says his head can retract in on his neck like a telescope. That usually makes them stop

The Best Jedi Council Tea Cups™ are made by younglings during assigned craft time. They’re janky and colorful and covered with fingerprints and smoosh marks and smudged paint and somehow, tea in them just tastes better

You can almost taste the joy and love they imbued into the cups. It’s an honor to be gifted a cup by a youngling

Yoda has a bookshelf of them. Very proud of them, he is, hrmmhrmm

We jest about Aayla’s oversexualized outfit (as we should), but considering this one post where it points out that Jedi robes are very similar to farmers’ which means they’re basically going to summits and in the battlefield in overalls, that means she’s walking around everywhere in like. Lululemon.

Which isn’t much better but it’s kinda funny to think about imo

Kit Fisto (like all nautolans) breathes through his skin like a frog. He’ll use this to justify walking around tits out as often as possible

He also can’t spend much time in Coruscant due to the heavily polluted air. Makes him sick after a week

I seriously think if you threw a ball Oppo Rancisis would have to hold himself back from chasing it, if not have others hold him back. Crusty toothless white dog headass

The real reason Anakin wasn’t allowed on the council was because they knew he’d do exactly that to him

[jewishcissiekj]

long-awaited sequel to this

[tarabyte3]

What are they serving so hard here for? Especially Oppo Rancisis. No wonder he survived Order 66.

[short-wooloo]

We now have no fuckin clue how old Luminara is

Like, common fanon is that she's in Quinlan and Obi-Wan's age group, but between Vernestra Rwoh being 116 and looking like she's in her 40s and Barriss looking like she's in her late 50s-early 60s when she couldn't possibly be older than mid 40s, any ability to make reasonable guesses about Luminara's age (and therefore what Jedi were her cohorts in youth) or any other Mirialan is out the window

She could be in Mace Windu’s age group, Qui-Gon's, Dooku's, for all we know Yoda, Yaddle, Yarael Poof, and Oppo Rancisis are the only Jedi who are definitively older than her

[roseaesynstylae]

Apparently, Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi were originally intended to survive Order 66, Ki-Adi losing an eye. In the new Disney canon, Oppo Rancisis survived. In Legends, Shaak Ti survived (sort of; she dies a lot). In both continuities, Quinlan Vos got away. And, while Yarael Poof died in Legends, we don't know what happened to him in the new canon (I personally headcanon he took the Barash Vow during the gap between TPM and AOC). So, six Jedi Masters, five of whom were on the Council, walk into the Alliance HQ...

Be there to witness the end of the Stark Hyperspace War!

Jedi Master Adi Gallia has managed to bring Senator Valorum and Minister Gunray back to Coruscant, but to no avail - The Senate voted against sending help to the Jedi and Republic Troops trapped in Mount Avos on Troiken, with the threat of the Stark Collective looming ever closer!

But Plo Koon may just have a plan to save the day - with the aid of the other Jedi present, he uses his amazing telepathic abilities to contact the Jedi Council from halfway across the Galaxy and they discuss a plan to win the war - despite all the odds being stacked against them! The only one not happy about this is General Tarkin, who believes that Plo Koon is stealing his glory and command - will he develop humility and accept Plo as the wiser commander, or will his broken pride and jealousy be everyone's undoing?

But the evil Collective has one more trick up its sleeve - Iaco Stark reveals that he is being fed information from a secret ally within the Republic Forces! Is there a traitor among them?

Be there when the answers will be revealed on January 19th 2025!

How...?! HOW?! HOW HAVE I NOT WATCHED THIS UNTIL NOW?! (*Major spoilers ahead*) Clone Wars 2003 is a masterpiece, and I do not care what Disney says, this IS canon. The best parts (in my opinion) were: Durge, this guy says NOTHING and is one of the coolest Star Wars characters ever, I was watching it with friends and I was like "Is he?!! Is he a Gen'Dai?!!!" And I was so excited to find out he is indeed, having played Jedi: Survivor, in which Rayvis is one of the best characters (everyone in that game is so well written), I was so excited to see another Gen'Dai! Next is another iconic one, General Grievous, who is even better in this series than anything else (except maybe Dathomir) I loved every moment he was onscreen. This show is the definition of cool for just being cool, and it does it so well! Another part I loved was the dive into space battles, swarms of Droid and Clone fighters in starships, which puts the banking clan arc of The Clone Wars (2008) into perspective, made me think "oh, THAT'S where all that money went!" Which the other series does okay at, but the huge ships and battles, specifically the battle of Coruscant, were amazing. I loved this, and will definitely be watching again. Last thing, THEY GAVE MY FAVORITE JEDI OPPO RANCISIS LINES!!! HE SPOKE!!!!! Anyway, I would definitely recommend watching this if you haven't.

Please read this book, it is so delightful and made such a point to give page time and joy to characters who don't always get a lot of attention, Miller made them a genuine joy to read about! He 100% made me ready to kill and/or die for all these hilarious, wonderful Jedi. (Star Wars: The Living Force | John Jackson Miller)
