[incorrectstarwarslegendsquotes]

Jacen Solo: How do people get stabbed in the heart when there is a ribcage protecting it? Tenel Ka Djo: I give you a spear. There is a lion in the cage. I tell you to poke the lion through the cage. Can you do it? Jacen Solo: No, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

It's time for another commission for the SWEU (aka J/TK) wall! :D

This Tenel Ka Djo & Jacen Solo image is by the amazing Uzuri Art!

(We swear we'll get photos when we finally have all the images we've been collecting up!)

What can you get a Wookiee for Christmas when he already owns a comb?

Let's give him-

Love and understanding

Goodwill to men

Wrap it all up in bright colored ribbon

And we give it to him all over again!

I'm actually lowkey against any visual-medium adaptations of Legends books because I don't want Jaina and Tahiri and Tenel Ka and potentially most of my favorite Star Wars characters to get their own counterparts to the Mara Catsuit Epidemic, or worse.

Queen Mother Tenel Ka Djo I'm on my the New Jedi Order era, I'm reading again the new jedi order and the series after!! With the Solos children, Tenel Ka are my favorite Star Wars Legends characters!!

Why do pairings in Star Wars have to be so tragic?

Nomi Sunrider x Ulic Qel-Droma: not even mentioning that Nomi was a widow…the Sith War ruined everything, and after the war someone insignificant murdered a great man redeemed

Revan x Bastila Shan: Revan gone for 300 years, leaving a wife and a not-yet-born son behind

Anakin Skywalker x Padmé Amidala: Anakin fell to the dark side, Padmé died of a broken heart

Han Solo x Leia Organa: two children died, one of them had even waged a war once

Luke Skywalker x Mara Jade: Mara killed by her nephew

Anakin Solo x Tahiri Veila: Anakin died in a war, leaving a love never realized

Jacen Solo x Tenel Ka Djo: Jacen fell to the dark side, the relationship ended in warfare

Corran Horn x Mirax Terrik: two children gone mad and were carbonized for a while

The list goes on…

my thoughts are consumed with queen mother tenel ka djo

[forever-carlyle]

Do you think that Tenel Ka uses the Force to dull any phantom pain from her missing arm? (I also need the distraction)

WHAT a great question :D with the disclaimer that I am not an expert in this topic:

phantom limb pain is common from what I’ve read, so it’s very likely to be something tenel ka would experience. I think especially early lightsabers TK might at first try to ignore it or power through it - lightsabers features so much growth for her, but you can’t tackle everything at once, yknow. So much of her feelings about being an amputee are tied up in her desire for bodily autonomy and independence, and so she might try to hold onto mentally controlling or ignoring pain - however, in lightsabers, she also comes to the realization of considering her use of the force another aspect of herself, not something that takes away from what she can accomplish. The force having application as a disability aid would probably tie in really well to her arc here.

noting that she was on a hapan ship when most immediately dealing with her injury, I think she might distrust doctors and be disinclined to see one about this due to everyone who was there being more motivated by the queen mother’s agenda than her welfare, and being extremely ableist to her in the process as I recall. In contrast, I think the early chapter in lightsabers where she considers and contrasts her experiences with Luke’s provide an indication that she might eventually pick his brain about possible force using techniques for controlling this type of pain. They are shown to have a relatively close relationship in this era. we don’t get much detail on like, medical facilities in Luke’s Jedi academy (the series is a bit sparse on logistics), but I could still see TK experiencing some friction depending on how they operate.

and of course this aspect of force powers would fall under the control umbrella of we use the control, sensing, alter classification of force powers, and is more specifically and aptly named control pain. I am curious if a Jedi could attempt to use this power for long term pain, or if it would be a strain in and of itself for that. One thing I read said that phantom limb pain may eventually dissipate with time, so perhaps using control pain might bring one to a point where it’s not needed. The force also could maybe be used to directly administer some treatments that are attempted to alleviate pain like nerve stimulation. Either way, this would be something she would likely be getting information from Luke about, and possibly training, as there might be some danger in attempting to learn this as an unsupervised student.

@fancyfade - I’m curious if you have any thoughts on Jedi using the force to manage chronic pain

This whole drawing was just an elaborate excuse so I could experiment with Tenel Ka's dathomiri inspired Jedi robes

"Dreams come and then they break

Over everything

All the little shards, they cut like knives

Tearing me apart

Whispers in the dark

Felt just like it did when I was young

When I was a child

When I didn't mind

All the background noise was just some game

One that I could play

One that I could get behind until the end" (inspo)

In other words... Young Jedi Knights trio feels (sorry Lowie, I can't draw wookies for the life of me)

I hope I never actually have to say "the Skywalker-Organa-Solo-Jade-Djo-Veila-Kwaad-Fel-Khai extended family" on any regular basis.
