    Summary

    This series explores two intertwined narratives: the adventures of time-traveling Obi-Wan and the reactions from the core, particularly the Jedi. It presents a Jedi-positive perspective but challenges the traditional notion of Jedi training. The series questions the importance of time in training versus the impact of experiences on a Jedi's potency. Drawing on examples from Legends, canon, and games, I posit that the skills of a Jedi could be taught to adults/teenagers in a relatively short time. It’s the mastery of self that would take the most time, and ultimately why the late-modern Republic’s Jedi training started with children.

    Summary

    When the Jedi Order refuses to admit 9-year-old Anakin into their ranks, Obi-Wan decides he cannot break his final promise to Qui-Gon and leaves the Order with Anakin. He turns to the only person he trusts to help him protect his new dangerously-powerful foundling: the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore.

    Summary

    All communities have stories, that is a fact of life. The Jedi are no different, despite what the Galaxy at large may think. They are a community bound by something more precious than blood. They are teachers, guardians, brothers and sisters.

    They are family.

    In one universe, they are a family annihilated, butchered by those they trusted most, by one they trusted the most. This is not that story.

    No. This is a story of family, of history, of culture and tradition. This is a story of how a single entity long though annihilated, a Sithspawn of Stewjon, will stop the murder of his family, of his culture and his people.

    This is the story of the Sith's long-awaited plan and how it comes crashing down.

    Summary

    Tamah qa brok vaversi, ji enoah qa mikodail orhma bika.
    Outside it is cold, but we are all warm together here.
    -A Jedi Saying, from Dai Bendu

    Abruptly trapped and stranded on an unpopulated planet behind enemy lines, and poised to remain stuck there for the foreseeable future, Obi-wan Kenobi has a lot of time on his hands and a single connection to the outside world to speak with. Unfortunately, it only works one way. The rest of the galaxy gains an open line to the unfiltered thoughts of one of its most famous Jedi Masters.

    Or, meditations of a man sitting at rock bottom.

    Summary

    The Mandalorian concept of synchronicity is a shooting star. The ancestors have thrown something at your head and you would do well to pay attention.

    The Jedi view it as the Force's sense of humour. Not necessarily deep, but special to behold.

    Obi-Wan connects with the kyber of a long dead Jedi when it literally hits him in the head.

    And the Force smiles.
