STAR WARS THE ACOLYTE COMES IN 30 DAYS!

[soneakyr]

What has always get me about Avar's arc is how it reflects the way she perceives the Force. The Song of the Force and Avar are strongly intertwined, to the point that when Avar begins to see herself as a one-note song, the Song begins to be distant and discordant.

Her way to see the Force, as a song that unifies all living beings, reflects how she sees herself as a part of something greater, a community. She is part of the Jedi and part of the song itself, and that is her greatest strength

Avar knows that, and she recognizes that she can't find the Tibanna alone, she needs the help of all other Jedi who are with her and of whom she is part. If she can't do it alone, they can together for sure

When she becomes Marshall, the Hero of Hetzal, she puts her new role in front of being a Jedi, because, while being Jedi is a being part of a larger community, being a Marshal/The Hero is something that is only on her, it's her role and she is the only one who can do that.

She doesn't listen to the Force, which for her is a call to the community she is part of. To fulfill is role she becomes selfish, to the point of defeating the one who still loves her, because she can't ask for help, otherwise, it would be like admitting that she has failed in what she thinks is something only she can do. But even then, Avar has her back, because people still care about her: Maru, Keeve... The Song is still there, even if she doesn't listen to it.

The fact is that Avar doesn't want to listen, that would be admitting her personal failure. Not the failure of the Jedi Order, but her personal one. She chased Lourna because she wanted to prove, to everyone, that she was right. Even after the fall of Starlight what keep drives her is her selfishness, the idea that asking for help would make her fail again. She is not able to face her failure because she can't fail as a Marshal and she has to do that alone. She is afraid to admit she wasn't enough.

Only when she faces true isolation in OZ does she begin to change. The Song breaks not only because she is alone, but because she is further away than ever from the Order she had always relied on. Because even when she didn't want it, she was still part of that community.

Isolation is what made Avar realize how much being a Jedi means being part of a community, part of something greater. But even there, she needed Belin to remind her that even if she was part of something greater she didn't need to be great, she just needed to be Avar, to try

It's only when she finally reaches again for that community she still familiarly hears echoing in the Force that she finally hears the Song as it always has been. Returning to Coruscant was not only returning home, to Elzar but returning to be Avar, a part of the Song.

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.

"We walk into the light, acknowledge the dark, and find balance in ourselves, because the Force is strong." [Star Wars: The High Republic 2024, #8] Anyway, I'm starting a collection to show that this is also what the prequels Jedi and the High Republic Jedi taught and practiced. That the dark side was in all of them, that it was a lifelong struggle to overcome it within themselves, and find balance in the light within themselves.

And, of course, The Clone Wars episode "The Gathering" is structured around the central test of sending the younglings to Ilum to get their first kyber crystal--which involves them having to face fears that are unique to them. That's the whole point, to overcome the dark side that's inside all of them, to free themselves of that prison. This is reflected in every Jedi's path--from the Jedi younglings of the prequels to Ezra in the Jedi Temple on Lothal to Luke in the dark side cave on Dagobah to Rey in the dark side cave on Ahch-To--that to move forward on their path, they must confront the darkness within themselves, the Jedi knew this and built their culture around it, their Temples around it, and never forgot it. No one was beyond it, not even Master Yoda, no matter how much they all admired and respected him, even they knew that Yoda was not beyond the reach of the dark side.

It was not a one-time thing. It was not a faucet they could turn off. It was a lifelong struggle to overcome it. It was the destiny of a Jedi to confront this fear within themselves. To acknowledge the dark and walk into the light to find balance.
