Okay so! Hello! Ramble dump, please feel free to ignore.

The persecution of a specific religious group was a big part of my history class. Mine is a country that survived our genocide through stubbornness and luck, so things like this get highlighted. I won’t get into the really horrific details of it, but if it’s just the basics—

Thousands of monks were subjugated. Executed, imprisoned, stripped of their titles and valuables. Their monasteries burned, 800 of them. Their practices outlawed and scrutinized.

But they survived. To the best of their ability, they preserved and restored what they could. Now they’re part of our lives, however small. (Funnily enough, most of us only remember that we have a religion when we’re in trouble or about to get into trouble and have to go to a monastery for a blessing. If this reminds you of anything—)

So this would be the lens through which I see the Jedi. I’m rather fond of them!

And I’m absolutely done, just dead tired, whenever someone tries to pin the blame of the Jedi genocide on the Jedi themselves. And not, you know, the people that actually orchestrated, executed and reinforced it. Or whenever someone blames the Jedi for problems they did not cause in the first place or have the means to solve. Like.

Whenever someone misinterprets the Jedi and parrots what would have passed as genocide-justifying propaganda back in the day, I just—

Anyway, thank you for the Jedi love! I’m glad you exist!

So hi. I feel for you buddy, people really need to analyze what they say and how they critize a group that gets genocided in canon. And yes, only remembering they have a religion when they're in trouble is pretty much how most of my people view religion too 😅. Right now, I'm gonna infodump about my country's history and how my people have been persecuted because it's relevant to how I see the Jedi.

My country was a fascist dictatorship for decades. Thousands upon thousands of people were shot by firing squads, denied medical assitance, starved to death in prison cells, worked to death in concentration camps and other awful ways to die. People who spoke up against the regime, or were hired during the previous democratic regime, lost not only their jobs but the right to exercise their professions, and often their lives. Families were thrown out of their homes and stripped of all their properties on the mere suspicion that they were "enemies of the state".

My people's experiences, alongside my love for history, have shaped how I see the Empire and the repression it put the galaxy through. For example, I headcanon Palpatine spread propaganda claiming the teachers hired during the Republic got their jobs thanks to nepotism and/or political favoritism, took their ability to exercise their profession —as my country's dictator did— and replaced them with unqualified teachers ideologically in favor of the Empire.

My country's dictatorship is within living memory. People I know personally have been persecuted by fascism.

The Jedi's persecution reminds me of how, during my country's dictatorship, people in territories outside the capital were treated horribly. People were imprisoned, beaten by the police, thrown in concentration camps and shot by firing squads for following their traditions and culture instead of the one imposed by the state, just like the Jedi were hunted down by the Inquisitors.

Luke in particular touches my heartstrings, because he didn't live through the Purges, but now he has to pick up the pieces of a broken culture, just like my generation has to. Luke always looks for the horizon, wanting something vague he has never lived but he knows it's his, very similar to how I feel towards my cultural identity, and watching him come back as a fulfilled Jedi Knight in ROTJ completely wrecked me. I relate a lot to him.

And anti-Jedi arguments would 100% pass as my country's fascist propaganda if they swapped the words. Like literally, I've swapped the words and it sounds like my country's alt-right rethoric. It makes me feel sick. And people blaming the Jedi instead of, I don't know, the Senate or fucking Palpatine, makes me feel even sicker.

Anyways, I'm always glad to receive asks, they never fail to make me smile. Thank you for the love. I love you all guys in the pro-Jedi community (platonically).

The Jedi order sounds like a great space for aroace people, thinking about it.

As an aroace, you're absolutely correct.

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Hey serious talk for a second ok? some of you do this thing where you go “and yeah so the Jedi often take in kids from parents who are too poor to take care of them” as some kind of trump card against antis and I think your need to “defend” the Jedi has outweighed your good sense. Like I fully understand the urge, but you need to take a step back from that argument and think about what you are saying.

“They don’t kidnap kids they take in kids from parents in vulnerable, desperate situations” is not the argument you think it is.

Presenting a strategy and/or habit of taking in kids from desperate people in desperate situations as like some super high charitable trump card thing is some incredibly Christian missionary logic there ok. It is taking advantage of desperation and fear in order to acquire child.

There are so many alternative ways to write the Jedi dealing with situations of finding Force sensitive kids in desperate situations that do not suck!

Jedi who work with communities for an extended period of time, coming to know and be trusted by those communities before being offered a child born after their arrival

Jedi who encounter families with Force sensitive children work to improve the entire families’ circumstances to provide stability before offering to take in the children

Jedi encountering a desperate parent who was already trying to find a way to get a child out of their care before the Jedi arrived for some specific reason (maybe someone who always planned to give up the child for adoption but can’t trust either their family members or the system?)

Jedi actively delaying the guardians giving up a child to make sure they’ve fully considered why they’re doing it, if they’re really sure, to varying final results

In The Living Force, it’s emphasised that upon encountering a force sensitive child in a neglectful orphanage situation, a Jedi should have assessed the whole situation and helped all the children there, rather than just whisking away the Force-sensitive one (and thereby created a situation where the child had a reasonable choice about whether to go or not)

And if you’re thinking “but those seem soo lucky and too good to be true often enough to sustain the order’s population...” then it’s possible that what you actually belive is that the Jedi need to prey on desperation to acquire sufficient children, and if so, you should not be defending that as moral. That is the opposite of a defence of the Jedi.

Personally, I think the Jedi just stumble across and/or work to create the types of situations above—where the guardians actually do enter circumstances where they can consent out of something other than desperation—with greater than average frequency. It’s the will of the Force, destiny, whatever. Simple as that.

Even in the prequels with Anakin, while I do not think it goes far enough in the direction I’m pushing for here, we see Shmi be the one to ask if Qui-Gon can help Anakin after Qui-Gon leaves a conversational opening for it, and then we see Qui-Gon attempt to free Shmi at the same time as Anakin. Even after she implies she might accept Anakin becoming a Jedi if it will save him from the life in slavery, it is still important that she be helped and freed. In her language when Shmi finally sees Anakin again as she’s dying, “now I am complete,” I think it’s reasonable to assume she’s stating that she’s glad the gamble she took letting him go paid off—ergo, she knew she was taking a gamble, not that she was some pathetically grateful recipient of Jedi aid.

If Star Wars were capable of having scenes that intentionally did more than one thing at a time, maybe we could’ve had a scene that did a half decent job of making the improvement of Shmi’s situation essential to the whole interaction on a cultural level (literally just move the “Qui-Gon gave her a valuable object to sell with the understanding she would know what to do from there” plot line someone invented in a comic into the movie itself—use one of Padmé’s dresses lol) rather than using it as something to raise up Qui-Gon’s individual moral status without actually helping Shmi at all.

Helping everyone in the situation so they can actually consent to giving away care of a child has to be essential to the Jedi on a cultural level—not just individual—in order for this to work. I think it is essential to them, and so I try to write that into my stories.

Do you think about what Jedi could actually be, or do you just respond to antis’ talking points with the first idea you can grasp onto? Because the latter can apparently make you say shit like “poor people should give up their kids to other cultures when they can’t take care of them” rather than “everyone should have the resources to be able to take good care of their children.”

And that’s important.

(And just to get ahead of the curve, yes I know that what I’m saying is “some variation of Star Wars would be so good if it was good.” Star Wars fanfic/discourse would also be good if it was good, and unlike the movies, fandom is always in the process of remaking itself. So maybe we could make it good, sometime)

I’m of the firm opinion that the Jedi are like a small town where everyone knows everyone.

Your average padawan will be like “this is my older padawan-sibling, and this is their favorite crechemate. And this is their favorite crechemate’s usual mission partner. And this is their usual mission partner’s platonic life mate. And this is their platonic life mate’s grandpadawan. The grandpadawan is also my Huttese tutor.” And it goes on and on and on.

what if Owen Lars wasn't lying about Obi-Wan Kenobi having died a long time ago during A New Hope

the 'Old Ben Kenobi' that Luke finds out in the desert is a strange man, with dark skin and a faded scar curled around his left eye

the man protests that he's not Obi-Wan Kenobi, although he is Kenobi, but Artoo seems to recognize him nonetheless and shows them the full message from the Princess

Kenobi, of course, accepts her mission, and explains to Luke that he is holding his father's lightsaber for him and offers to teach him about the ways of the Jedi

he readily agrees to drop Luke back off with the Larses on his insistence though

after the tragedy of the Lars homestead is revealed and they make their way through the drama of hiring Captain Solo, Kenobi gets to work on Luke's Jedi training, which mostly seems to consist of Luke trying to dodge or block random stunners throughout the trip and intense physical training (Luke didn't realize he had some of those muscles in his legs)

eventually, they exit hyperspace in the remains of Alderaan, where the Death Star remains hovering in the now-empty black

they hide from the scanners and sneak off the ship and into the control room, where Kenobi decides to sneak off to disable the tractor beam while Luke waits with the ship (and eventually manages to convince Han and Chewie to help him rescue Leia)

while Kenobi is sneaking around the station, Darth Vader unfortunately notices a familiar presence...one he hasn't felt in some time...he thinks it might be Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it's faint...

Vader, of course, immediately sets out to track Kenobi down, and finding an old man wearing a brown cloak with a deep hood pulled over his face, wielding a familiar lightsaber, makes a few assumptions

Cody Kenobi, widow of the deceased Obi-Wan Kenobi, lets him make those assumptions for long enough to see Luke, Han, Chewbacca, and the rescued Leia sneak back onto the Falcon out of the corner of his eye

then, after a dramatic pause, he burst into motion with a jetpack-assisted round house kick to Vader's face, allowing him to make his escape to the ship

they make their daring escape back to the rebel base on Yavin, and Luke prepares to join the pilots targeting the Death Star's weakness; when he hears a faint but somehow familiar voice urging him to trust in the Force rather than the targeting computer, he decides to trust it, and his choice is immediately supported by Kenobi back at the base

once the celebrations have died down, Luke tracks Kenobi down again, and they get ready to continue his training

once Cody is satisfied with Luke's level of physical fitness and willingness to trust the Force (and after a quiet conversation with Leia about what she wanted to do), he flies himself and Luke out to Dagobah, where his husband told him to bring the boy for Jedi training with Master Yoda

Yoda is grudgingly impressed with Luke's ability to hold handstands, but is more focused on his sidequest to catch Cody off guard and smack him in the shins (he does not succeed)

they leave every so often to go on missions for the Rebellion, frequently teaming up with Leia and Han, but always sneaking back to Dagobah after a short period of socialization

several years into this pattern, Luke has a vision of his friends in danger on Bespin, and insists on going to rescue them despite both Cody and Yoda urging him to stay

Cody, however, grudgingly decides to go back into the field with Luke to help Leia and Chewie (and Han. he guesses.)

Luke runs off to confront Vader, despite being advised not to, and opens their fight with a Force-enhanced round house kick to Vader's face

(Vader is experiencing war-like flashbacks, but manages to rally enough to finish that confrontation)

Cody, meanwhile, got wind that Boba was here and snuck into his ship

the moment Boba reenters the ship and starts preparing for takeoff, Cody emerges and hijacks the ship by way of an ori'vod'ika headlock, regrettably rescuing Luke and Leia's bad influence friend/crush

once Luke is out of surgery on Home-1, he finds Cody and demands answers about his parentage

Cody tells a brief version of what happened with his parents, and with Obi-Wan, and how that led to the present set of conditions

when Luke demands to know why Cody didn't tell him that from the start, Cody asks him why he thinks that Cody didn't teach him the Force-enhanced round house kick during their first training session

Luke admits that he wasn't ready to learn that, or to learn about Vader, but then insists that he needed to know before facing Vader again

Cody reasonably responds that there was no way he, Cody, could have known that Vader was going to be on Bespin, and that if Luke knew and didn't share that intel that was certainly not Cody's fault

and did Cody mention that he also tried to convince Luke not to go in the first place?

Cody ends the conversation by telling Luke that he can do whatever he wants with this new information about his relationship with Vader, but that it's his responsibility as a Jedi to weigh the consequences carefully

Luke sometimes wishes that his mentor wasn't so implacably rational

months later, after the second Death Star is destroyed during the Battle of Endor, Luke watches Cody sit down on a bench some distance from the celebration, only to be joined by a transparent blue figure, who laces their fingers together

the Force ghost meets Luke's eyes and smiles sadly, gesturing for him to return to the celebration

when Luke goes to find Cody in the morning, he finds the man still in the exact same position on that bench, eyes closed and with a soft smile on his face

Does anyone think too much about how the Initiates must have played with clones that would have shore leave or injuried and would talk to them about random things in the Temple. Like how Initiate Lumpa was trying to find a way to dye bubbles so the fountains in the Room of A Thousand would be purple or how Master Plo helped with teaching air clay and how their waiting for it to cure to give to the Clone. Does anyone think about Initiates seeing Clone armour, white and painted so many different shades, and thought of friend and companion?

Thought that maybe the Masters and Knights were being mean until the blaster fire stung the air and everything felt Horribly cold for the amount of heat in the room? Thought that maybe that's their friend didn't like their clay pot? Or the joke of the purple fountain? Maybe they did something that had the clones want to hurt them?

Does anyone think of the first children that ran to other clones asking for help? Asking for safety?

I do.

au where during the clone wars there's a republic photographer. i can't draw but here are some of my ideas!

• jedi laughing with their clones, they look incredibly young when happy

• clone sleeping on a jedi's shoulder, sharing a cloak as a blanket, another clone sleeps in their lap

• jedi standing protectively over a fallen clone, teeth bared like a predator, a dangerous look in their eyes

• young clones painting their armor

• jedi comforting a grieving clone, a silent tear rolls down their own face

• clones teaching jedi how to shoot, exchanging excited high fives when a target is hit

• clone holding a lightsaber in a dramatic pose, jedi looks amused, vode looks scared

• clones feeding their rations to animals, childlike smiles on their faces

• jedi leading a meditation or yoga class

• clones first snow ball fight

• clones playing hair salon, giving each other trims and dye jobs

• clones giving each other's tattoos and piercings

• clone protectively holding a civvie child (the caption: two children of war)

• clone desperately clinging to their fallen brother's blacks, it still smells like them

• batch mates in full armor discretely holding hands, it's their first battle and they're scared

• clone in a flower field, petals in their curls

• clones sleeping around their injured vod in the medbay

• kedable kisses (forehead presses)

• clones on leave volunteering at the jedi temple, playing with younglings and teaching classes

• jedi younglings painting their robes and skin to match their favorite vode

• a clone with a small smile, looking proud and emotional, the caption explains he just named himself

• clones trying sweets for the first time

• clone trying to imitate something cool their jedi did and face planting, vode laughing hysterically in the background

• jedi carrying an injured clone (caption: irreplaceable)

Hey guys.

As I've said multiple times before, this is a fandom blog. I post about Star Wars and things related to it, sometimes with little hints of my Thoughts™️ about the current state of the world. But right now I'm on crisis, having a burnout and need to say something about it.

So the world is going to hell. We are all worried out of our fucking minds, so I thought I'd share this list with you. It has a recopilation of fundraisers you can donate some money to and petitions you can sign if you want to help someone, and also relevant information a lot on fascism for some reason, I'm sure it's not important right now. It's still incomplete so it will be updated every once in a while, but I thought it was a good starting point.

I don't know if it will help on anything, but I thought I should share it, just in case. This post may be updated in the future with new important links.

Have a good day/afternoon/night, and take care. Drink water, be kind to the people around you and stay safe.

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Why do I have the feeling this will become relevant in real life very soon?

"Once more the sith will rule the galaxy"

Funny thing though, the sith never have actually done that

Doesn't matter what continuity you pick-Lucas canon, legends eu, disney canon, disney eu-at no point did the sith have true uncontested dominance over the galaxy

So why does Palpatine say this?

Simple, because the sith are fascists

And the idolization, admiration, and appealing to the notion of an idealized, imagined, or otherwise mythical past is a key tenant of fascism

Palpatine like any fascist is trying to recreate an imaginary past, he is justifying his conquests and genocides with the idea that he is just restoring what is rightfully his that was unfairly destroyed

"The Jedi should have gone to Tatooine and stopped slavery!!!"

........... You want the Jedi to go to another planet, that is not part of the Republic, is run by another government, and they have no political power on, and...... What? Force them to follow the Jedi's rules and laws? When they say no should the Jedi kill the dissenters?

There are words for that behavior actually. Conquest. Imperialism. Dictatorship. These things are generally frowned upon.

Ignoring how impossible it would be for a small group like the Jedi to control every planet with slavery.... The "nice" dictators with "good" laws are still bad actually.

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Ahsoka should have died fighting Vader. Her story would still be far from perfect, but much much better than what we have now.

Please let Ahsoka retire and have someone else take over.

Aight Star Wars nerds:

What's your thoughts on Modern Ashoka, and Dave Filoni's refusal to let her story end?

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Interesting character! But the fandom has ruined him for me.

Everyone focuses on his good looks and "sad traumatic past" (in quotes because people focus on his struggles in the Order and not his, y'know, slavery), and forget that he's literally Space Hitler.

It's hard to love him correctly in this fandom.

Hey fellow Star wars nerds!

What's your thoughts on Anakin Skywalker?

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

“When the Jedi High Council arrives for the funeral of Qui-Gon Jinn its members make use of a turret room in which to mourn privately and celebrate the life of their fellow Jedi.” You ever think about how the Jedi Council could have just had Obi-Wan come back to Coruscant and dealt with whatever this shitshow was from there?  But that instead they came to Naboo for Qui-Gon’s funeral there, because they took the new information they received seriously–but also because they wanted to honor someone they cared about? Yes, Qui-Gon argued with other Jedi sometimes, but he also loved them, they were his family.  He wanted to bring in more people to the Jedi Order, he wanted more Jedi, he loved being a Jedi, he loved the life he had.  And even after his death, he wanted to help Yoda and Obi-Wan over to the other side, you can hear the affection and love for Yoda in his voice when he speaks to him during TCW.  Qui-Gon loved them!! And the Council loved him, too!!  They gather together specifically to mourn his loss and celebrate the life he led.  They may not do so screaming it from the rooftops, they do so in private, but they do so together.  They don’t get sucked into a doom spiral over it, they’re not going to kill a thousand people in their grief, but they loved him and they took a moment to celebrate what he meant to them and how they cared about him. I’m just!!  Feelings about how much the Jedi Council loved Qui-Gon!!  Yeah, he was kind of a pain in the ass sometimes, but he was their pain in the ass and they loved him!!

Hypothetical question for you

Assuming Mace manages to Kills Palps and it's not a mutual kill or Mace isn't killed by Anakin. How do you see Mace and the other Jedi managing the Senate and the other Republic institutions without things devolving into a War of the Diadochi esque situation between Palps cronies like Tarkin and Armand Isard and the Senators? The Episode III novel isn't really specific beyond this one passage.

-

"Have you considered," Ki-Adi-Mundi said carefully, from faraway Mygeeto, "that if Palpatine refuses to surrender power, removing him is only a first step?"

Mace looked at the blue ghost of the Cerean Master. "I am not a politician. Removing a tyrant is enough for me."

"But it will not be enough for the Republic," Ki-Adi-Mundi countered sadly. "Palpatine's dictatorship has been legitimized— and can be legalized, even enshrined in a revised Constitution—by the supermajority he controls in the Senate."

The grim future inside Mace's head turned even darker. The Cerean was right.

"Filled with corruption, the Senate is," Yoda agreed from Kashyyyk. "Controlled, they must be, until replaced the corrupted Senators can be, with Senators honest and—"

"Do you hear us?" Mace lowered his head into his hands.

"How have we come to this? Arresting a Chancellor. Taking over the Senate—! It's as though Dooku was right—to save the Republic, we'll have to destroy it..."

Yoda lifted his head, and his eyes slitted as though he struggled with some inner pain. "Hold on to hope we must; our true enemy, Palpatine is not, nor the Senate; the true enemy is instead the Sith Lord Sidious, who controls them both. Once destroyed Sidious is... all these other concerns, less dire they will instantly become."

-

Keep up the good work!

I have honestly no idea of how they would handle it. In my headcanon, Mace would probably just give himself up, confess, explain his reasoning and hope it doesn't backfire on the Jedi.

That's the brilliance of Palpatine's plan. He won the 4D chess match before the Jedi even realized they were not playing checkers.

At that point the only thing the Jedi could do was damage control.

Hello there!

I saw your blog and as a Jedi fan, I had to give you a follow. 😊

I am just curious, are you a member of this community? - Defenders of the Jedi | Tumblr Communities - if not maybe you can join? I just thought I'd help another Jedi fan out. 🙂

No, I'm not. But I'll probably join. Thanks.

I'm glad you're enjoying my content, it makes me really happy to share something I love with people!

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Huh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the explanation.

My main issue with Mandalorians in Legends is how nothing they do is treated as wrong in most cases, and in the cases it is fandom will glorify or victimize them (looking at you, Galindraan). The best word I have to describe them in English is frustrating. The dissonance between canon and fanon is headache inducing sometimes (mainly because people seem to believe it's canon when… it's not).

In five millennia, the Mandalorians fought with and against a thousand armies on a thousand worlds. They learned to speak as many languages and absorbed weapons technology and tactics from every war. And yet, despite the overwhelming influence of alien cultures, and the absence of a true homeworld and even species, their own language not only survived but changed little, their way of life and their philosophy remained untouched, and their ideals and sense of family, of identity, of nation, were only strengthened.

Mando'a, wookiepedia.

What kind of utter bullshit is this? This is impossible. Languages are in constant change, and even more so when they interact with others! That's how Spanish, Italian, French, and many others were born from Latin! How German, English and Swedish were born too!

I'm not a linguist so my knowledge of how languages work is limited, but I know this: language is in a constant state of change. I know there are words that are less than four decades old in English.

My own first language has had over a dozen words created in the past two decades. Many of them come from English, or were created for the Internet, and most of our words come from three or four different languages.

My country has many words used exclusively in certain regions. We like to joke about how difficult it is to learn our language, since so many words have multiple meanings and others only exist in limited places. There are over four regions where language is concerned, all of them with different accents and words exclusive to their respective region.

Languages and cultures don't exist in a vacuum, they are formed thanks to experiences and changes communities go through. Interacting with people from different backgrounds is how Ancient Greek philosophy was born! And that philosophy has shaped the whole Western world!

Nuclear family, despite being seen as the norm, is less than a century old. America's (the continent, America is a continent, US is the country) independance happened in recent memory as far as history is concerned, less than two centuries ago (the movement started in the early 19th cetury, but its main points were the 1870's and the 1890's, and it finished in 1898 when Spain's last two colonies gained their independance). The French Revolution that completely altered Europe's governments happened just a little over two hundred years ago, in 1789. World War II started eighty five years ago, and Hitler rose to power ten years before that. My country has been a democracy for less than fifty years, my parents are older than my country's democracy. The cold war finished in the fucking late 1980's. The "schools" in Canada that were used to forcibly convert/assimilate First Nation children were active until the last one closed in the 1990's.

This is just a very small glance at what has happened in the west (which I'm more familiar with, since I'm western) in the past two centuries.

If we have changed so much in just two hundred years, it's impossible that Mandalorians have remained the exact same in five, fucking, thousand.

And the most stupid for the end:

Nation: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

If Mandalorians don't have a planet to call their own, they are not a nation.

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Eh, guys? You do know you can like morally wrong characters, right? Like you have a right to your opinion and If you like the Jedi better, go for it! But it's not wrong to like the evil characters better

Wow. Just when I thought reading comprehension couldn't get any worse.

Yeah, of course people can like the Sith for aesthetic reasons. Of course people can like the Sith more than the Jedi. I'm not here to tell them they can't, I have no right to dictate what people enjoy or don't enjoy.

Fandom: I like the Sith better than the Jedi.

Self explanatory, really.

Canon/Logical Brain: Because of the sexy evil aesthetic, right?

I wrote it. Explicitly. Twice. People can like the Sith more than the Jedi for aesthetic reasons no problem. I have made posts about liking the Sith, because I do enjoy them as villains.

Fandom: *cricket noises*

It's not because of the sexy evil aesthetic. People genuinely believe the Sith are better as in more good than the Jedi. Considering the very nazi and fascist inspiration of the Sith (their Code is paraphrased from Mein Kampf), it's fucking concerning and terrifying.

I can't believe I actually had to write this.

Fandom: I think the Sith are better than the Jedi.
