Jedi - Tumblr Posts

Go on, fellow nerds… What would be your weapon of choice???

I love to imagine the training differences between the Jedi and the Clones. Not even like the difficulty of attitude towards it but the trainers themselves and what’s expected.

These clones need to grow up fast and learn to overcome personal issues and batch problems quickly. Their trainers (trainers that are older Clones such as Colt or Alpha-17) are harsh but ready to show them the way. They will yell and scream and beat their lessons into them, but when all is said an done they'll treat the cadets wounds with bacta and soft words, holding them if needed.

Jedi trainers and NOT THAT. They are sweet, gentle (most of the time (they are dealing with kids)), patient, loving, and caring. They use a slow and steady hand to guide the younglings, not only with physical training but also their personal training. They will work with the younglings, slow and patient til they understand and get it.

All of this deep dive for one comedic scene in my brain. Anyway.

In order to bridge the gap between the two organizations, several small groups of jedi younglings are taken to Kamino to meet other cadets and learn how they think/act for when each group joins the war. The younglings get to view training, visit the tubies and clones of all ages, speak with the trainers/commanders stationed there, see some of the labs, and play with some of the 'babies' and younger cadets.

During the view of a spar, the younglings are quiet and taking in the cadets (about age 10 looking) with each other. Alpha-17 is talking to the younglings, explaining their regiment and who is good at what. Once the spar is done, 17 has the same two cadets go again. He explains what he is looking for, how he sees their spar, when -after the third spar with the same pair- 17 pauses and screams:

"CT-42-9686! You drop that arm again before you're strike and i'll break it off and beat you with it! Raise it up! Do it again or I'll give you to Havoc and he'll beat it out of you!

Needless to say this got some questionable reactions and lots of squawking from the Jedi Trainer and younglings. While, the cadet adjusted his form and the others laughed.

When the younglings reaturned to their friends at the temple, they were aprehensive to share their stories of scary Clone Trainers that were mean and yelled at the Cadets and the Cadets who seemed to like it!

Meanwhile, the cadets are astonished when they had visited the temple and a Jedi trainer paused a spar and personally adjusted the younglings form and then quietly explained why it was better to do the adjustment. The next few times the youngling forgot the adjustment, the Trainer would call out 'do the adjustment!' softly and kindly.

When they returned to Kamino, they didn't know how to start explaining the Jedi's teaching methods. There were not words for them. The next time they got yelled at, they ran up and hugged their trainer and cried at how happy they were.

Needless to say, neither group will be changing their training methods any time soon.

I adore this!! Escpecially considering during the Cline Wars, they would have to adapt their knowledge to the many things they would have to deal with on campaigns.

Not only that, but the addition of the clones is super fun! These clones don’t really ah e a standard for what *regular* people act like so all of the weird Jedi-isms are completely normal to them.

They’d pick up some accents and words from their Jedi, maybe the commanders even pick up some habits. We’ve already seen how a Jedi can influence the strategy and attitude of their own battalions, see 501st vs 212th, so it’s entirely possible they also pick up some of the cultural rules that each Jedi chooses to participate in.

That, combined with the mash of the clones own ‘culture’ (I say it like that because there is barely anything about that part of them other than they have it in some degree) and mannerisms would create a whole new subculture. They’d maybe mash up the languages from their Jedi and some of their butchered Mando’a. Meshing the rules and ideas of the Jedi with their own soldier training from Kamino

a non-comprehensive list of my favourite jedi hcs to play around with

cause i just don’t get tired of these mfs!

i’ve mentioned this one before but: education at the temple differs greatly from a western school system. students aren’t graded and there’s no use for exams. there are sets of standard classes so everyone gets a good foundation in languages, history & politics, maths and sciences, plus practical learning - we know every jedi on active duty is expected to be able to perform maintenance and troubleshooting on their ships and other tech - but younglings tend to run through these fairly quickly. beyond that, classes are based purely on the jedi’s interests and goals, and are basically treated as a particularly involved hobby. 10 yr old initiates and 90 yr old masters can easily be found in the same class. a padawan might choose to rip through four advanced math courses in a year just cause it’s fun, or they might take one or two, and either is fine. learning is very much a lifelong process in the temple, there’s no need to rush.

(as a result, many jedi end up being top-tier experts in their favourite subjects. schools invite them to lecture all over the galaxy. sometimes a 16 yr old will show up, but by god they do know their quantum mechanics.)

the service corps! of course we know that obi-wan was pretty disappointed to be sent to the agricorps, but i think this is kinda more reflective of his own self esteem issues than it is of the order’s predominant attitudes. it makes more sense to me that the agricorps, educorps, explorcorps and medcorps would be equally respected to active knights (this is stated in canon but not rly explored), and would actually be the destination of choice for many initiates. plenty of people aren’t cut out for a job that could potentially bring you into deadly conflict, and plenty aren’t interested in trying it. 

(a bit of canon, to flesh out the corps: members of the corps are part of the order and are considered jedi. jedi may voluntarily join or leave the corps, and it seems common for the service corps to form connections with non-jedi intergalactic research associations. i’d really like to see more of them!) 

my god the cultural exchange in the temple must be insane! not only do you have hundreds of species living under the same roof, many bringing with them traditions from their homeworlds, but you’ve also got the underlying thousands of years of culture completely unique to jedi! i imagine you could walk through the temple and pick out bits of etiquette or architecture or sayings that originated on one world and eventually became so integrated that everyone knows and uses them. 

speaking of etiquette:

jedi tend to come across as Odd to non-jedi because they’re raised with concepts of politeness that are influenced by the fact that they’ve got essentially an extra sense. uninvited touch is a no-no because it can be overwhelming for the partially-trained younglings and their varying ability to sense others’ emotions, especially if the recipient happens to be psychometric; this makes a bow the default greeting between strangers rather than a handshake or similar. after boundaries have been established it’s totally fine and normal for jedi to hug, hold hands, sleep in piles, etc., although they tend to act more reserved on missions as a sign of professionalism. 

another common source of culture shock between young jedi and your average coruscanti is their differing understandings of authority. a master is believed to learn as much from their padawan as the padawan does from their master, and this mutual respect is applied all the way from younglings to council members. a whole lot of jedi culture is based on learning and teaching relationships, therefore displays of respect and politeness are not dependent on the rank of the people involved, they’re offered by default. for a young initiate on a field trip (city trip?), bowing to a senator and not receiving a bow or head dip in return is definitely cause to get huffy. 

openness is really important if you’re gonna support a kid as they grow up and learn how to manage their relationship with the force. openness is also every young kid’s specialty. more than one unintentionally rude senator has received a pointed comment from a three-foot tall jedi. 

communal living! jedi are raised in groups and have many mentors over the course of their lives, and i imagine that mindset never really leaves. their predominant social norms and taboos are pretty different from the rest of coruscant. physical contact is not tied to romantic or sexual interest in and of itself. canonically, they’re taught not to place any undue weight on their appearance or modesty, so nudity isn’t uncommon or inappropriate. people have bodies and that’s just how things be. in the wise words of @agoddamn i have never seen motherfuckers with more communal bathing energy in my life.

relatedly, because they’re raised by such an immense variety of people with lifetimes of travel under their belts, younglings’ language acquisition must be batshit crazy. i firmly believe that most jedi grow up speaking a wild mashup of galactic standard, dai bendu, whatever they’ve learned from their birth family if they were old enough, and the favourite languages of their crèchemasters. as they get a bit older they might be taught common trade languages alongside galactic standard, dai bendu, a sign language, and whatever else they choose to learn. as padawans and knights, they might continue to pick up languages for missions. 

(this concept is hinted at a lot in canon and i LOVE it. many jedi we meet are explicitly multilingual. if a jedi isn’t physically capable of speaking galactic standard - wookiees and ithorians, for example - there’s a really good chance they’ll be understood. we even get to see this in the ilum arc - conversations in the padawan group happen in three different languages at once!)

accents?? also gotta be wild. how did this human padawan end up speaking mostly with a ryl accent? well their favourite crèchemaster’s master did a long mission on ryloth and never really lost the accent. you’ll get lineages where not a single member sounds alike - a bit like yoda vs dooku vs rael, qui-gon and obi-wan vs anakin and ahsoka! 

this is so long. i just think they’re really cool :,)

Got to see this scene in theater today and I formed a core memory

I’ve just finished Star Wars Jedi Survivor and OMG ITS AMAZING!!

I don’t know what to do with myself now!! Like what do I do??!!?!

Has Anyone else played it? Let me know in the comments!

Jedi June 2022

A creative fandom event dedicated to appreciating the Jedi, taking place during the weekends of June! Each day of the weekends will feature a prompt, around which people can create fanwork (of any kind – fic, art, cosplay, edits, anything you can think of) or meta focusing on the Jedi and the Jedi Order. All eras and continuities are welcome; OCs, established characters, doesn’t matter – it just needs to be about appreciating the Jedi!

Rules:

If you are participating, please tag your work/meta with #jedi june and/or @ this blog so that I will see it and reblog it here. All work must be your own. Feel free to crosspost it off-site.

This is an appreciation event, focusing on what we love and enjoy about the Jedi – not what we don’t. This is not the place to air your grievances with the Code, take potshots at the Council, prop certain Jedi/certain eras of Jedi up at the expense of others, or disparage the Jedi Order or their philosophy and way of life in any way (including the concept of non-attachment). You are free to do that on your own time if that’s your thing, but it has no place within this event.

AUs and crossovers are allowed, with caveats: again, the purpose of this event is to appreciate the Jedi as Jedi, so sticking your favorite Jedi characters in something like a modern AU or making them all Sith or Mandalorian is not really within the spirit of this event. However, AUs such as making a non-Jedi character a Jedi, having a character survive their canon death, giving a character a different teacher or padawan, or killing Palpatine off-screen in an unspecified yet embarrassing and painful manner, would all be perfectly fine. Use your best judgement to determine whether an AU fits the spirit of the event or not.

Ships are allowed as long as they’re not between a child and adult, and following the above rules.

Following the weekend prompts is encouraged, but not required. Any sort of pro-Jedi content is encouraged all year month long, and if tagged (and following the rules), will be reblogged. It also does not have to be uploaded on the exact day - if it’s more convenient for you to post (for example) Monday and Friday of these weeks instead of Saturday and Sunday, your posts will still be reblogged here, although it may take until the weekend to get to them.

Prompts:

Saturday, June 4th: Commitment/Service

Sunday, June 5th: Non-attachment/Compassion

Saturday, June 11th: Mischief/Humor

Sunday, June 12th: Knowledge/Defense

Saturday, June 18th: Training/Tested

Sunday, June 19th: Community/Jedi Temple

Saturday, June 25th: Symbols/Faith

Sunday, June 26th: May the Force be with You

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I hope you will have fun participating!

Star Wars planets. Part 1

really tho i dont think it would matter if a new star war DID take a seriously harsh or critical look at the jedi, because they are not real, and any arguments about "george lucas' original intent" w/jedi will always be muddy bc he's not very smart

See him again was the most amazing thing could happen. The Chosen One 😍

Star wars as subjects

Luke Skywalker:Philosophy and History

Leia Organa:Political Science and Diplomacy

Han Solo: Auto Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering

Click for quality

Anyway, here’s a drawing I did of Obi Wan and Omega for my AU where she’s his padawan. My backgrounds aren’t meant to be any particular location, they’re just for fun. Hope it looks alright to everyone.

I’ll probably post about this AU soon, but doing the art is super fun!

I have been looking for this type of thing, so I can more develop the Jedi Order in an AU I am writing

Some jedi thoughts

Ok so, lets forget for a moment all the angst and bring some jedi as found family thoughts in here, ok?

Part 2 |

Kiddos in the creche talking about what color their kyber crystal will be

Padawans being the coolest older siblings around !!!! Because they look so grown up to the creche kids and so cool but they are actually just teens with no self preservation instincts that love to do dumb shit while having little kids boosting their confidence !!

Ok, we all know the temple is fucking massive, so i bet there are at least SEVERAL alcohol stashes from padawans somewhere lmao

Also, along those lines: BIG HIDE AND SEEK COMPETITIONS it helps everyone at being sneaky, at finding people and at orienting themselves, AND IT’S SO MUCH FUN (it also wears the kids down so they sleep the entire night lol)

It’s always someone’s birthday, like, statistically. So they just have a big board in the mess hall to congratulate the birthdays of the day (and it has pictures too so even if you don’t recognize the name you can say happy birthday to someone on the corridors bc that’s how their big family works)

Jedi having little charms on their lightsabers from their padawans

Also, best friends having matching jewelry (rings, charms…) made out of eachother’s lightsabers

Little initiates just making conversation with just about anyone they see bc they were raised in an environment full of love and comprehension and they know that the order is they family and they are safe there and they will always be treated right and with respect no matter what

Drinking games over cheesy jedi romance shows

LOTS!! OF!! INSIDE!! JOKES!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

Also: DARK HUMOR !! You expected teens to not make jokes out of not knowing/having parents???

Jumping out of windows is a Thing, and i won’t elaborate on that

Taking naps on the room of a thousand fountains is the best feeling ever and there’s always someone doing it

Enough for today :)

Some jedi thoughts - Part 2

I’m so happy that y’all liked the first part, so i’m here to bring even more jedi order headcanons bc, honestly, we all need those found family feels rn.

Part 1 |

Younglings braiding eachother’s hair to pretend they are padawans because they are so excited to grow up and be cool like their older siblings

Continuing with the inside jokes i mentoned in part one, here are some of them: calling the order “the cult”, blaming every little inconvenience on the sith, the fact that whatever you do Master Yoda WILL KNOW and probably bring it up in your next conversation in a very ominous tone and, continuing with Master Yoda, just, whispering weird stuff in the way he speaks to your friends just to creep them out

There’s a big tradition of sharing stories within the order, but specially scary stories as it is a way to face fear and know how to manage it in a safe environment

All hobbies (as long as they aren’t a danger for yourself or others) are very encouraged, so it’s not weird at all to see a group of jedi on some part of the temple just playing a wind instrument from Alderaan or an old master teaching a youngling how to properly execute an ancient sculpture technique or a group of padawans sprawled on the floor while they paint colorful rocks

Breakfasts at the mess hall are just a different plane of reality. Is that Master Fisto in sweatpants over there? Good for him. Did that kid just force-throw a whole ass fruit over the window? Not my business. Are those two padawans making a tower out of cutlery? I honestly hope it comes down and startles that one master taking a nap in the next table

The gossip here travels faster than lightspeed

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Just go watch the babies, easiest way to heal your soul

Self expression tends to manifest itself more in hairstyles and makeup rather than in clothes, jedi robes are way too comfortable to be sacrificed like that

Being able to spend the entire day and night in the archives researching absolutely everything about your new hyperfixation (until Master Nu kicks you out so you get some sleep and nutrients)

Again, thank you all so much for supporting the firts part!! <3

Random Headcanonish Stuff about my Jedi Omega AU

The clones speak Mando’a - this comes straight from fanfictioin because I read a lot of fanfiction about the Bad Batch and stuff with Mando’a in it. 

Anakin and Ahsoka have picked up aa bit of Mando’a, but they are not fluent and only know a few words and phrases

Obi-Wan is fluent in Mando’a and no one knew until him and Cody got into a conversation in Mando’a, Obi-Wan knows Mando’a from his time with Satine many years ago - It is my personal head canon that Satine taught him Mando’a

Obi-Wan and all the clones call Omega ad’ika and sometimes her brothers call her vod’ika

Omega and Ahsoka get into all sorts of trouble together - mainly being things like pulling pranks or sneaking off around Coruscant together

Omega has trauma from medical experimentation, like any young child would - many people think she was experimented on, at least in fanfiction

Omega has extensive medical knowledge, even at the age of 9 (she is nine at the start of my AU) - this comes from people not just assuming the line about Omega being a medical assistant was just an excuse, but actually something she actually did on Kamino

Omega has probably called Ahsoka ori’vod at some point after Order 66

The Jedi make their robes from scratch, some Jedi do buy other clothes, like Ahsoka. So Omega has a set of regular robes and a set of clothes she bought.

Jedi get an allowance

Fives is one of the most chaotic and caring people ever

Omega is devastated when the brothers she has a deep connection to die (Waxer, Echo, Fives) because they still die, or supposedly die

Anakin has emotions that feel extremely different to Omega than other Jedi’s emotions

Omega has this emotional sense in the force - because it is one of those hints I pick up on in the show that prompted this AU

Wolffe is soft with little kids

After Order 66 Omega has nightmares frequently for years - the first year it mainly consists of trauma from the clone wars and order 66, but Omega got captured by Inquisitors about a year after the order and has a lot of trauma from that

Hunter is a tired Dad a couple years after Order 66

Obi-Wan is a tired jedi master because Omega gets into shenanigans with Ahsoka.

Everyone cares about everyone else in the group

What we really need is a femininomenon!!!!
