gffa: TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE JEDI ORDER IN STAR WARS CANON, PART II[A Meta/Reference Guide on AO3]aka, SO WHAT DO THE JEDI SAY AND DO IN THE ACTUAL CANON? This is the second part in my series of Jedi Culture and Teachings in Canon, which was originally meant to be a much smaller project, but then The High Republic came out and suddenly I can barely keep up with all the new lore! Which means that this is part 2 of what will probably (I hope) be a four part series, given a rough estimate, just hopefully not two years between now and the next one. orzOne of the biggest motivations I’ve had is to compare how the High Republic books seem to be working to be pretty true to George Lucas’ philosophies and visions of both Star Wars and the Jedi, so there’s a mix of canon sources citations and George Lucas commentary, separated out into eras so that you can get a feel for each one. While there are some minor differences between the High Republic Jedi Order and the prequels Jedi Order, I’ve found that they’re by and large basically the same exact people with the same exact culture and same exact beliefs and actions, and a huge part of this project was getting to lay a lot of that out!The guide is broken down into seven sections as before: SECTION 1 - HOW THE FORCE WORKSSECTION 2 - JEDI CULTURE & PHILOSOPHY & TEACHINGSSECTION 3 - JEDI AS A PEOPLE SECTION 4 - PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARDS DOING PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARD THINGSSECTION 5 - JEDI TEMPLESSECTION 6 - JEDI AND THE BIGGER GALAXYSECTION 7 - JEDI, BUDDHISM, AND EVERYTHING ELSEHopefully, this guide will be useful to those who are looking to use it to write fic or just want to see a nerdy project! None of this is meant as any kind of value judgement on Legends or people who aren’t interested in this stuff or don’t like the Jedi, instead it’s a guide to a) the bigger themes of the Jedi in the source material and b) a list of references if you want to check out the source material yourself, which I always heartily recommend! That and an attempt to organize my reference and meta tags because they’re definitely a mess. -- source link
