Inner Jedi Week 4: Who Are Your Favorite Jedi?

-

In the week four task of the Inner Jedi guided journal, we are asked to write about our 5 favorite Jedi and the qualities we admire about them. So I decided to add my journal entry here for everyone to read, I wouldn’t say these are necessarily my favorite Jedi, but the five I connect to the most and find qualities I most aspire to.

1.Obi-Wan Kenobi

For me Obi-Wan is one of the most steadfast of the Jedi, he cares deeply about those around him but sticks to his principles. He has lost mo much, his mentor, his love, his brother and his Jedi family. Yet he remains true to himself and the order.

2. Qui-Gon Jinn

The most philosophical of the Jedi and in touch with the nature of the force.

“It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. I don’t turn towards the light because it means someday I’ll win some sort of cosmic game. I turn towards it because it is the light.”

“You’ve made mistakes, Qui-Gon. You’ve touched the darkness.”

“Yes, I have. No doubt I will again. This isn’t a choice we make once and walk away from. It’s the work of a lifetime.”

Qui-Gon Jinn, Master and Apprentice

3. Luke Skywalker

I never used to connect to Luke much until The Last Jedi, to know he struggled and had a crisis of faith but could still care and come back from that to make a selfless act was truly inspiring.

4. Elzar Mann

Elzar is another Jedi who struggles. He touched the dark side and fears he will again. But he works hard and is willing to learn all while being passionate. Like Qui-God’s quote, he may have used the dark once but he consistently chooses the light.

5. Reath Silas

I identify a lot with Reath, he is shy and bookish much preferring to be in the library than on an adventure. But when adventure and danger is thrust upon him he rises to the challenge. Which I aspire to.

The Book Of Boba Fett Trailer Review

-

Hello there! After a month off from the blog, the release of the first The Book Of Boba Fett trailer has brought me back. When this series was announced at the end of The Mandalorian Season 2, I wasn’t particularly hyped for it, and felt it overshadowed the Mandalorian somewhat, and that despite the fact I’ve always been a fan of Boba, I own Fett artwork, figures and clothing! The trailer looks very cool, very Tatooine and  Jabba’s  Boba’s Palace centric, and jam packed with Original Trilogy and Return of the Jedi aliens, from Gamorrean Guards, to Twi’leks, Tuskens, Trandoshans and my favorite species of all - an Ithorian with a speaking role!!! Which makes this nerd wonder if his boy Max Rebo could make an appearance, every crimelord needs entertaining right?! There are some great visuals, the Tusken’s walking through the sandstorm, the huge sunken city both stuck in my mind. The story seems to be focused on Boba Fett taking over Jabba’s criminal underworld which has fractur...

Into The Dark Book Review [SPOILERS]

  This was the second High Republic novel for me, and Claudia Gray is my favorite Star Wars author so there was a bit of pressure for me. Into the Dark is a Young Adult novel, but we know from Lost Stars that is no problem. I loved this entry into the High Republic story but I don’t think it quite cracks my Claudia Gray top 3. Claudia Gray’s biggest strength is getting inside characters heads, and each of her previous books has really focused on one or two characters, but Into the Dark is far more of an ensemble, and I did miss that laser focus a little. However I really liked all of the characters in this book and they all get plenty of development, Reath, our main protagonist I really connected with. He is a bookish and studious padawan, who prefers to read about adventure rather than experience it and I found it interesting that he was described as not having as strong a connection to the force but making up for it with hard work and knowledge. I don’t want to ignore the rather ...

Shadow of the Sith Review [SPOILERS]

Shadow of the Sith is one of the most anticipated Star Wars books of recent years, with a lot of pressure put upon it by many to explain events in the sequel trilogy. So did it live up to expectations? For me it does, not that I expected it to explain everything - we have plenty of time to explore and fill in the intervening years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Let’s not forget that it took    9 years for us to learn why the Clones turned on the Jedi so easily (season 6 of the Clone Wars in 2014). There are two main threads to the story, Lando trying to save Rey’s family from Ochi of Bestoon and Luke’s discovery of a mysterious dark side user. The book is littered with connections to all parts of Star Wars canon, the Acolytes of Beyond first mentioned in the Aftermath trilogy play an important part, Luke goes to Tython which we saw in the Mandalorian, a young Enric Pryde (TROS) makes an appearance as does Shriv Suurgav who first appeared in Battlefront II. T...
