Most destructive to the academy is going to be a hard fought title

Having decided it's time to leave, Mara is surprised by just how many beings have something to say about her departure. Perhaps she has left more of an impression than she thought.

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.

To the credit of Kam Solusar, the unprovoked attack on his unarmed wife did not draw him into the open. He remained in hiding, pouring rage and bloodlust into the Force, but heeding the same rules he and the other adults had been drilling into the young ones all week—take only focused action; never react, only act.

“And there’s no good that comes from evil. Your example of someone using dark-side power to destroy the Death Star is fine until you ask why he would do that. Is it for his own good, and that of his people? If so, how will he deal with the next threat to them? If he hears of another Death Star and knows someone like the Caamasi are building it, does he destroy them?”

Kam frowned. “Bad example. Everyone knows the Caamasi were committed pacifists.”

“I know, Kam, but someone could rationalize them as evil and go after them.” I opened my hands. “Face it, someone did go after them and nearly wiped out the whole lot of them. I even heard there was a big Caamasi refugee group on Alderaan when it was destroyed. If someone could have seen the Caamasi as a threat, they could have seen anyone as a threat. A child. Anyone.”

Brakiss furrowed his brows. “I hear what you are saying and I want to believe you. Part of me says, though, that you can’t argue an absolute case that no good can come from wielding dark-side powers. There has to be a time when that could happen.”

“That’s theory, Brakiss, but we’ve got to deal with the practical realities of manipulating the Force.” I shook my head. “I don’t want to entertain the idea that I could remain uncorrupted by dealing with evil for what I see as a good purpose. That’s setting the first foot on a very steep and slippery slope. Maybe, with the help of Master Skywalker, it would be possible to get back to the top, but someone will pay a fearful price during my descent, and I don’t want to inflict that on anyone. Neither should you.”

New Jedi Order, Part I:

How much can you change existing characters before they become ocs?

Either way, just some notes on SDTCI New Jedi Order members:

Luke Skywalker: Lichtenberg scars criss cross his body, Sidious’ parting gift. Very good at energy deflection to keep this from happening again. Heavy, brutal fighter, most resembling Form V. Personally mentors Kyp Durron, Grogu, and Tahiri Veila. Professional tax evader.

Mara Jade: Actually ran away from the Empire at 16 here, joined with Talon soon after. Otherwise mostly unchanged, but gave Anakin’s lightsaber back to him, and built another purple one. Mentors Jaina Solo. Helps Luke evade taxes.

Ezra Bridger: Beard, 6’3, robotic right leg, blaster saber, fighting style ends up resembling a mix of Forms II and III. Takes Pypey, Barratk’l, and later Jacen Solo as padawans.

Kyle Katarn: Would be played by Karl Urban in live action. Yellow saber, preference for forms V & VI. Takes on several OCs as padawans, and the Order’s main combat instructor besides that.

Kam Solusar: Would be portrayed by Michael B Jordan. Pink lightsaber, a little concerned about possible connections to the darkside. Definite malewife.

Tionne Solusar: Much more alien, alabaster skin with teal body markings, sharp teeth & pointy ears. Dyes her hair & wears very bright clothing. Tall lady. Order’s main archivist, expert with any stringed instrument.

Corran Horn: Not much changes with him. In competition with Anakin to determine who the Order’s greatest pilot is.

Cal Kestis: Mirialian, played Sima Liu. Lightsaber personally offends Kyle, Mara & Obi Wan. Gets his revenge by teaching Ben Skywalker, who adopts the same style. Another definite malewife.

Merrin: Nightsister, cool goth aunt to the younger jedi. Doesn’t usually fight with a lightsaber, good with Jar’Kai regardless. Teaches survival and illusions, as well as offering alternative views on the Force.

Cilghal: Order’s main healer, and with an...interesting love of dead things. Serene, but snark is on point. Will happily heal any stupid injury you present her, but will openly laugh at you. The other Form II master in the order, people are jealous of her silver Lightsaber.

Kirana Ti: Met Luke during SDTCI’s equivalent to the Courtship of Princess Leia (but much different, such as taking place in 3 ABY, and not including Han), one of his oldest students, and the person Luke will say is his best friend in the Order after Mara (Ezra’s jealous). Trained in lightsabers by Ahsoka, and of course teaches Tenel Ka. Surprisingly very chill, and married to the Order’s third malewife, Raider.

Streen: Ex gas miner, jumpy, and very nervous around the Pre-Purge Jedi of the order. Actually connects with Cal, and ends up as one of the Order’s premier therapists/mind healers.

Leia Organa: Honorary member of the Order, mostly just shows up to beat the living stuffing out of anyone who accepts her open challenge, but does end up teaching Saba Sebatyne. The reason Luke evades taxes (Imagine paying taxes to your sister! Luke, I get that, but I don’t want to get arrested!)

Korto Vos: Not really a member, just a force sensitive who shows up occasionally and usually deposits a new student on their doorstep, or leaves some pertinent info on Luke’s desk. Only makes Batman entrances and exits (This building is full of nosy force-sensitives, how does he do that?!)

Jedi June: New Jedi Order in my AU

To end the month celebrating the Jedi Order, I offer you the various characters who are part of the New Jedi Order in my hybrid Star Wars AU. Some are familiar faces, some are my own creations. Some come from the Order as it was, come are the faces of the Order as it has become. But no matter who they are or where they come from, all are Jedi. All are one with the Force, and the Force is with them.

May the Force be with you...Always.

Mara may be having doubts about whether she belongs at the Jedi Academy, but not everything is bad. Perhaps she can contribute and made a friend or two along the way.

Star Wars: Crosscurrent, by Paul S. Kemp (Legends)

Did anyone read this? I'm guessing not, as it is a oneshot novel published in 2010 featuring side characters in the "Legacy" era, right before Legends got rebooted by Disney, featuring time travel and an unexpected, albeit tenuous, Mara connection.

Admittedly, I mostly skimmed this, but the plot followed Kyle Katarn's student Jaden Korr, who is suffering from PTSD and gets a vision of various ghosts (including Mara!!!) telling him "it all begins in a black hole on Fhost". This turns out to be the name of a bar (heh), where Jaden meets a crew of salvagers who take him out to the site of his vision, where they encounter a Jedi from 4500 years in the past and a secret Sith dreadnaught carrying macguffin ore that amplifies dark side powers, all of which got shipped through time through a bad hyperspace jump.

Just in case you thought I was making this up, here is an actual quote:

Khedryn licked his lips. “Just so I know what to tell him: you’re saying I have an old Imperial distress call coming from a moon no one’s charted before, a five-thousand-year-old Jedi aboard my ship, and a five-thousand-year-old Sith dreadnought with some evil ore aboard flying through my sky?”

Oh,yeah, and Jaden's being stalked by an Anzat assassin in the employ of (wait for it) Darth Krayt, because the Anzat are vampires who feed off life energy ("soup") and eating Jedi gets this one high. The Sith want the macguffin ore, because Sith gonna Sith. The past Sith and past Jedi duke it out, and destroy each other, as you’d expect.

Meanwhile, Jade and co. all go down to the nearby planet, which has a secret abandoned lab full of secrets--the Empire under Thrawn was making Jedi-Sith genetic recombinants, which of course ended badly for them.

“I suspect they recombined the DNA of Jedi with the DNA of Sith.”

Khedryn’s lazy eye floated in its socket, fixing on nothing, as if it did not want to see. “Why would they do that? Being a Jedi or a Sith is a choice, isn’t it? It’s not biology.”

Jaden shook his head. “We didn’t know all there is to know about how biology meshes with Force use. Perhaps they sought to create some kind of breakthrough Force-user, one unbound by the limitations of light and dark.”

“How is that possible? Light and dark sides are exclusive, aren’t they?”

Jaden turned off the computer and Dr. Gray disappeared. “The line between light and dark is not as clear as many think.”

Even if the explanation is total bullshit, the laboratory exploration is genuinely creepy, A++. The clones are worshipping the cloning tank, which they call "Mother" and fill it full of bodies. The only one we see is a clone of Kam Solusar, but the implication is there was at least one Mara clone at some point who might still be alive. Jaden kills the "Kamclone," but is distracted by the Anzat assassin, and then the rest of the clones get away, leaving the three survivors to band togther to track them down. And I guess no one thinks to tell Luke or any of the other Jedi anything??

Anyway, this is okay, I guess, but it's hard to get into it because there's such a tenuous connection to the characters I actually care about, AND it's a weird little oneshot that doesn't really make an impact in larger plot. The time travel and the clone plots are two separate storylines that feel like they have very little to do with each other and the former was just there to pad out the story, especially since it doesn’t have any real effect on Jaden’s character or his quest. I was not expecting the tenuous Mara connection, though. I'm also amused that apparently hyperspace time travel was actually canon and not just a thing that fanfic writers made up.

I'm not really sure what the point of this was, but to be fair, Legends was kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel--to be brutally honest, it was due for a reboot anyway. The real problem I have with it wasn't the reboot per se, so much as one that got rid of most of the genuinely good bits of the EU in exchange for its own brand of WTF--but that's a rant for another day.

Here are some more passages that struck me:

The deep snow clutched at their feet, as if trying to slow their advance and give them time to reconsider. Jaden looked up, eyed the slate of the sky, imagined not snow falling but reified evil.

Um...dramatic, much?

Jaden knew that at some top-secret Thrawn-era facilities the participating scientists would be forced to endure surgical alterations of their facial structure while on assignment, changing back to themselves only after their work was completed. None would be able to recognize another afterward. He wondered if that had happened in the facility, and if so, why.

The Empire is a piece of shit, full stop. 

Also, fuck this ageism so hard:

“It means he has an intuitive connection to the Force,” Jaden said. “Were he younger, it would mean he was trainable. But given your age, Marr, even with your mathematical gifts, training is probably out of the question.”

But by the end of the book, Jaden agrees to train him anyway, so I guess that was character development for him? IDK. I still hate it, though.

Also, every time someone says "Grand Master Skywalker," I want to down two shots of vodka, because WTF, Luke. Seriously.

Even from an altitude of a thousand meters, the Jedi academy on Ossus looked enormous. Spread across a verdant bench-land between a lush mountainside and a gloom-filled rift valley, its tidy sweeps of green turf were surrounded by burgeoning plots of foliage and connected by snaking ribbons of gray paving stone. To Jaina’s surprise, there were no tiny dots dodging among the glistening spires and elegant halls; if not for the Force presences she could detect inside the buildings, she would have thought the place deserted.

Perhaps the Solusars had called a week of meditation out of respect for Mara’s funeral. They would have regretted not being there as much as Jaina did, and the children would need ritual to help them deal with the loss of such an important Jedi Master.

Jaina only wished that she and Zekk and Jag could have afforded the time to join the meditation. She was hurting in a way she had not hurt since the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, when she had lost Anakin and Chewbacca and a hundred other dear comrades. It was taking all her strength to just let the grief come and not retreat into herself as she had during the war.

Grogu gets put in Jedi class with Kam Solusar and Mara Jade as some of the oldest of Luke’s students. Kam and Mara give Luke the most betrayed looks ever. Luke is truly living in that moment when he tells them Grogu is actually older than them. Mara def throws a chair at him.
