[Episodes 11] As with all abomination, the only cure is death

The outcome of the interrogation unfolds just as you anticipated—the Jedi refuse to investigate the matter any further.

Your accusations are dismissed due to a lack of evidence, and the suspect, Qimir, has already vanished from the planet Olega without a trace, as if he knew the Jedi were beginning to focus on him. With no sign of Qimir and no concrete proof, the investigation is promptly closed, leaving your story as nothing more than a brief note in a digital case file, destined to be forgotten in time.

But you know there's more to it than meets the eye.

Master Vernestra, a high-ranking Jedi and Qimir’s former mentor, has no intention of letting anyone know that her prized apprentice, whom she had personally trained, has now turned to the dark side and become a full-fledged Sith Lord. If word of this ever got out, her reputation would surely be tarnished. So, she denies every accusation you put forth, even going so far as to claim that you fabricated the whole story for attention. With someone of her stature rejecting the claims, there’s nothing anyone else can do. The matter is consequently buried.

This, however, doesn’t affect you much. You’ve already planted seeds of doubt in Sol’s mind, and that is why you haven’t been expelled from the Jedi Temple on charges of deceit. Sol is the only one who believes you, and thanks to his efforts, you’re still allowed to stay. However, your status has changed—from a key witness to just an ordinary employee. You’ve been transferred to Coruscant, tasked with serving the Jedi at the Grand Temple and helping the Younglings adapt to their new lives.

In the first three months of your new life in the Jedi Temple, you’ve only seen Sol a handful of times. You understand that he’s still hesitant to speak with you after what happened during the interrogation. Nevertheless, Sol remains one of the few who shows you rare kindness among the Jedi, checking in on your well-being and keeping a distant yet watchful eye on you whenever his duties permit it, unlike the others who noticeably choose to ignore you.

You don’t resent them for it. Master Vernestra is highly respected among the younger Jedi, so it's natural for most of them to feel resentful when a stranger suddenly accuses their revered figure of being responsible for the rise of a new Sith Lord.

But not everyone is so cold. Besides Sol, there are others who have been kind to you. One of them is Jecki, Sol’s Padawan, who has been assigned to look after you.

Jecki is a lively and talkative teenager who holds deep respect for her master. She never questions Sol’s decisions, and when he asked her to assist you, she agreed without hesitation. Jecki visits you daily to chat and keep you company, and the two of you become close friends. She also keeps you informed about the goings-on within the temple, telling you both what you need to know and what to be cautious of, which is crucial for your stay there.

"Things between Master Sol and Master Vernestra haven't been going well lately," Jecki shares during lunch. Although her words sound casual, you detect a hint of worry in her tone.

You set your spoon down on the compartment tray, pausing your meal for a moment. You immediately realize that what Jecki is saying is a warning—a signal for you to be wary of the tensions that could escalate in the future and to be prepared.

"Master Sol tried to access the records of Master Vernestra's former Padawan but found nothing. When Master Vernestra learned about it, she was furious and sent my master on a mission to the planet Arkinnea."

You frown upon hearing this. Arkinnea is notorious for its lawlessness, a place fraught with danger due to the long-standing conflict between soldiers and refugees that has escalated into continuous civil wars. No outsider is brave or foolish enough to set foot there without good reason, so it’s no wonder Jecki looks so worried.

"My Master is worried that Master Vernestra might try to approach you while he’s away," Jecki adds, reaching out to gently squeeze your hand—a gesture meant to offer consolation. "He wants you to be careful because if Master Vernestra comes here, I won’t be able to protect you."

The name of Master Vernestra draws your mind into a vision, to see flashes of past and future intertwined.

You see Qimir as he once was: a Padawan clad in a yellow tunic, his braid cascading at the nape of his neck. Handsome, youthful, and brimming with potential, he was a rising star expected to attain the rank of master before reaching forty.

Yet beneath the promising exterior of a future Jedi Master lay a dark side that had long remained hidden—a darkness that grew steadily, bit by bit, until it was finally exposed.

You see the fear in Master Vernestra's eyes when she confronted her former apprentice, and you know those eyes will look at you with the same dread when the time comes to meet her in the near future.”

Pulling yourself from the vision, you turn to Jecki and nod, your demeanor calm and steady “She can’t touch me,” you say with quiet conviction.

Jecki blinks in surprise at your relatively calm response, sensing that your words are not meant to comfort but rather reflect a confident assessment of the situation. "How can you be so sure?" she can't help but ask.

The corner of your mouth lifts in a smile, but Jecki notices it doesn't reach your eyes. “Because I know,” you reply simply.

You have never truly worried about Master Vernestra, as she is not even a threat in your eyes.

However, among all the members of the Jedi Order, the only person you find truly difficult to contend with is Yord Fandar, the Jedi Knight with the gift of prophecy and your blood relative.

After the lunch hour ends, Jecki returns to her Padawan training, leaving you alone once more. As you stroll through the darkened halls of the Jedi Temple, your thoughts drift back to your last conversation with Yord. His furious voice still echoes in your mind.

“Muad’Dib, you have consumed your own kin. You cannot do this to her!”

Muad'Dib—the name feels eerily familiar, as though it has always been your own.

That was the moment you truly realized you were no longer yourself.

The memories of Paul Atreides lived within you, intertwined with your own, yet they felt alien, like an intrusion. But it was you who allowed him in; you let his memories merge with yours to protect your mind from shattering after drinking the Water of Life.

Now, you are Paul, and Paul is you.

"I didn't consume her; I saved her. Without me, she would have ended up like Alia. I believe you know this well," said Paul, speaking through your lips.

At the mention of Alia, Yord's expression changed instantly.

All the descendants of House Atreides know the tragic downfall of Saint Alia of the Knife—a history etched deep in their bloodline.

Both Alia and you share a similar fate, marked as 'abominations'—beings that defy the natural order. This is due to having received powers from the Water of Life and Spice at a young age. This ability resulted in the power to perceive everything within the stream of time and to access ancestral memories like a Reverend Mother. However, being too young and fragile to handle the onslaught of visions and egos, the powers became a double-edged sword, inflicting devastating mental damage.

It is said that those labeled as abominations will meet a cruel end before their time, just like Alia, who couldn’t control her will and identity. Her life had been filled with suffering, unable to resist the malevolent wills of her ancestors. In the end, she was completely possessed by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the sworn enemy of House Atreides and Lady Jessica's secret father. This led her to take her own life by jumping from a building, preventing Harkonnen from using her body to harm her family.

The story of Alia became one of the darkest tragedies buried deep in Paul Atreides' heart until the day he died. If I could have saved her, she wouldn’t have ended up like that, Paul always believed, regretting that he couldn't do more.

It was this regret that drove him to reach out to you in the final moments of your life, partly hoping to make up for what he had failed to do when he was alive.

“Don’t worry. Her spirit hasn’t gone anywhere. I am her, and she is me. We are one and the same, inseparable.”

You said, though you knew those words weren’t truly yours—they belonged to Paul himself.

And that’s the truth. You may eventually end up like Alia one day. Though you are a distant descendant of Paul Atreides, the legendary Kwisatz Haderach, that sacred bloodline is now so diluted that it hardly means anything. Moreover, you were already weak to begin with; even using your powers in small amounts has always been a struggle. Drinking the Water of Life was a grave mistake. The immense power you received was too much, corroding your spirit and leaving it hollow. If Paul’s consciousness hadn’t intervened to help and fill the void, you would have been possessed by the malevolent egos or faced a fate even worse than Alia’s.

Yord couldn't argue with all the reasons given, but accepting the truth was still not easy for him. After that day, the young Jedi vanished from your life. No contact, no meetings; it was as if everything between the two of you seemed to be completely severed.

But you know that sooner or later, Yord will come back to you. The fates of both of you were intertwined from the day you and he were born. You are Paul’s heir, and Yord is Alia’s heir—the remaining bloodline of the Atreides siblings that has survived to this day. For you two, nothing is a coincidence. Everything has been preordained.

...just like what's about to happen next.

Your thoughts halt, along with your footsteps, as you sense someone's gaze watching you from a corner of the temple hall.

You look up, your deep blue eyes turning knowingly in that direction. "Is there something you want to talk about, Yord?"

A sigh echoes through the air before the tall figure of the young Jedi steps out reluctantly.

Yord hadn’t intended for you to notice his presence, but it seems that hiding himself was a futile effort when facing someone with such powerful foresight that they seem to see through everything.

Yord meets your gaze, looking at you—the last of the Fremen, who is also a distant relative of his—with a tumult of emotions swelling inside him, unsure how to put them into words.

You, dressed in a simple black gown, blend into the shadows, exuding mystery, much like a Bene Gesserit sister from ancient records. But the difference lies in your long hair tied into a ponytail with a blue ribbon. Yord knows well what the color blue signifies among the Fremen—it means that the person has a lover.

And your lover is a Sith Lord. That is the truth you revealed to the Jedi yourself.

Over the past month, many rumors have reached Yord's ears, all revolving around you. Others in the Order think you're lying, and Yord wishes he could believe that too, if not for the fact that he knows full well who you are. And he knows you could never lie.

Because the spirit within your mortal shell is Lisan Al-Gaib, the one who once made the entire galaxy bow at his feet.

"Lisan Al-Gaib sees and knows everything in the universe," his mother had once said. And so, Yord is certain that everything you’ve said is true, no matter how hard it is to accept.

"I am not the Lisan al-Gaib you expect," you declare preemptively, shaking your head. "I’m sorry to tell you, but that man died a long time ago. Remember this—the old Kwisatz Haderach you've heard of no longer exists. "

The young Jedi flinches slightly, not expecting you to read his thoughts.

“Don’t worry, I don’t have the Force. I can’t read anyone’s mind. It’s just an analysis of probabilities based on the Bene Gesserit method,” you explain, answering his unspoken question before Yord even asks. “I assume your mother didn’t teach you about the path of the Bene Gesserit.”

No need to guess—Bene Gesserit knowledge is a secret reserved only for trained women. Aside from the Kwisatz Haderach, no man in the galaxy can fully learn or comprehend these techniques.

However, even without Bene Gesserit training, Yord possesses a slight gift for seeing visions of time—a trait inherited from the bloodline of Alia Atreides that lingers within him.

Alia…

Paul’s consciousness within you trembles with indescribable sorrow as he gazes at Yord’s features—sharp cheekbones, a high brow, dreadlocked brown hair, and olive skin. None of Yord’s features resemble those of Alia, his sister from a past life. The centuries have diluted the DNA of the Atreides beyond recognition. Still, Paul cannot deny the profound genetic and spiritual connection binding him to his descendants.

This Jedi is an Atreides, no matter what. That is an unchangeable truth.

You force yourself to suppress a sudden surge of emotion, hiding it behind a composed tone. “I understand you have many questions about me, but I cannot provide answers to all of them.”

For a moment, Yord looks at you with a hint of trepidation. Even though you’ve assured him you can’t read minds, he still feels unsettled when you speak as if you know his every thought.

The Jedi clears his throat and questions you directly. 'You mentioned that the old Kwisatz Haderach no longer exists.' He pauses as he gauges your reaction before continuing, 'Does that mean there will be a new Kwisatz Haderach?

Your breath catches, the deep blue in your eyes darkening with a mix of alarm and admiration. He caught on to that subtle detail in my words so quickly! Rightly so, considering his Atreides bloodline.

You nod. There’s no point in avoiding the truth. Evasion will only deepen the mistrust between you. You need him to trust you completely, as Yord will play a crucial role in what’s to come, even if he doesn’t realize it yet.

“Yes, there will be another Kwisatz Haderach, but not in our lifetime.”

Yord has to steel himself to keep from trembling when he hears your firm, emotionless confirmation.

Though ancient religious texts exalt the Kwisatz Haderach as the hope of mankind, during the era when the old Kwisatz Haderach lived, the galaxy was engulfed in bloody wars that ravaged innumerable lives. Many races had been wiped out, including the Fremen people.

If a second Kwisatz Haderach were to emerge, what fate would the universe face?

The door of prescience opens, and the answer becomes clear in Yord’s mind.

There is over a fifty percent chance that the same catastrophe will repeat itself, perpetuating the endless, cursed cycle.

"We must stop it," Yord's voice hardens, his face etched with tension. "We cannot allow this to happen again!"

He turns to meet your gaze with unwavering resolve, assured that you know what to do next. You know what to do next. You are the only one who can see the future more clearly than he can, the only one able to foresee the dangers that no one else is allowed to see.

But instead of offering him another answer, you deliberately choose to look away. “The future is uncertain, Yord,” you murmur softly, your voice tinged with unmistakable unease. “There are countless possibilities and impossibilities. For now, I cannot provide you with a definite answer, but I have a warning for you, one you must remember..."

You pause for a moment, caught in the grip of your own reluctance. "Beware of Qimir," you finally say.

Qimir, Yord recalls. That's the name of your lover, the one you accuse of being a Sith Lord. His brows furrow, not just in confusion, but with a deep-seated concern. "Why? What's gonna happen?"

“I can't say more,” you cut him off abruptly. “My visions have only revealed this much.” You say, fully aware that you are hiding the truth from him.

The truth is that Qimir must be stopped to prevent the birth of the second Kwisatz Haderach.

And Yord is the only one capable of stopping Qimir, yet doing so might come at the cost of his own life.

In the near future, they will face each other on the planet Eiram, the place where everything begins and inevitably ends. The paths of fate branch out in countless directions from that confrontation—paths where Qimir survives, paths where Yord survives, and paths where both of them perish. None of these paths lead to a beautiful conclusion. Every possible outcome points towards death.

The visions fill you with unspeakable dread. Not even the Bene Gesserit litany can calm your racing heart.

You realize this is the most dangerous gamble of all. The fate of the entire universe rests solely on your decision.

Top 100 Films

I made this list a few days ago after feeling irritated at the predictability and staleness of the Sight & Sound list, but really I think this a good moment for me to make this list for myself. As you will see from my end of year list in a month, the emergence of a continuous type of filmmaking - Tiktok and Douyin filmmakers posting every day, Youtubers posting every few days - presents a new kind of problem for me who actually wants to make lists that do justice to beautiful filmmaking movements. So this may be the last time to even really want to make an all time list that focuses on the indvidual works rather than the directors filmographies as continuous entities. Although I couldn’t make a normal top 10 poll, and it was better in the end to have a 100 poll as an alternative to the full list, I have put in bold 7 films which I would definitely put in a top 10.

Simon Kinberg To Write And Produce The Next 'Star Wars' Trilogy

It is being reported that Simon Kinberg will oversee the next Star Wars trilogy. It is being disputed whether this will be Episodes X, XI, XII of the Skywalker Saga or something new. Kinberg will write all the films and will produce alongside Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. This trilogy will not replace anything that is already in the works, meaning that James Mangold, Sharmeen…

So, that Rey Jedi Order movie is just Episode X right? Like they're not calling it that, but we all know it

#wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #star wars #sw #rey #rey skywalker #rey jedi order movie #star wars episode x #episode x #and if it does well it'll probably get a sequel or two #the movie will probably have an open ending #the main plot will wrap up #but it will probably have some hook to continue things from #and then #in ten years or so after there's a whole “new jedi order trilogy”#they'll probably retroactively declare them episodes x xi xii

Star Wars Episode XI: The Rise of Skywalker is an awesome movie!

Hey guys! I’m here to do a review for the movie “Star Wars episode XI: The Rise of Skywalker!” I love this movie because it was an awesome end to the saga!

With the cast of Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Domhnall…

Before the Sith: A Star Wars Reskin

Coming up the first weekend in May, Open Hearth is hosting our Star Wars: May the 4th Be With You mini-con. This is the third one of these we’ve done. It’s a weekend of reskinned games– building on the Star Wars Saturdays which have been happening for four+ years now. Last year I ran a couple of Thirsty Force Nightsisters sessions, reskinning TSL to play out tales from Dathomir. The year before I used Hearts of Wulin to do a new take on Star Wars Episode XI. This year I’m running Before the Sith.

Before the Storm by Joanna Piancastelli, a one-shot rpg, comes from the Pelgrane’s Seven Wonders collection. In it the group plays out the story of the last night of a fantasy company, as they rest before the final battle. It’s a game about relationships, disagreements, secrets, coming to terms with the past and more. It works both as a tabletop game and a LARP.

My pitch for this is: This is for a one-shot of Before the Storm, a storygame of heroes facing a final showdown with a deadly foe. On the eve of the battle we flash back to how they got here, explore old relationships, and deal with unresolved tensions. We begin by building the setting and the characters in the first hour and then move to calling scenes.

Our story takes place during the Old Republic with a group facing down a deadly Sith invasion– through play we will find out if they can emerge victorious and who will survive the coming battle.

Before the Storm feels like a natural way to play out these stories—and it doesn’t require much of a reskin. Rather than a fantasy citadel, our team of Old Republic heroes is about to make a final stand against a galaxy-shattering enemy. The protagonists have recovered The Object, something the enemy wants and that our heroes hope to use against them. To make their last stand, these desperate defenders have bunkered down in a base filled with allies and civilians, awaiting tomorrow’s attack.
