Books Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void (Now the OFFICIAL, SPOILERS-ALLOWED release thread)

That would be interesting to see the contrast for the Je'daii to the New Jedi Order.

 

I would prefer to see some Order 66 survivors having some adventures in the Unknown Regions, maybe setting up academies out there.

 

When were the Sith emerging in the same timeframe as the Jedi? Wasn't it the Tales of the Jedi comics that introduced the notion of a "Order of Dark Lords of the Sith" in any detail in the first place?

 

I'd prefer Luke learn about the original Jedi.

Maybe visit Tython.

 

Post-FOTJ or beofre that?

 

Either would work, though it'd be interesting to see Luke around the Zahn period finding Tython and deciding the Jedi Order's philosophy of non-attachment was flawed. You'd need Luke to have a reason to follow it in the first place since I doubt Yoda got into it.

 

If he visited Tython wouldn't that mean the opposite?

 

What do you mean?

 

Yeah, there was still an Empire to defeat, so Yoda only had time to focus on the important things, like that time Luke's father had that crazy acid trip and dreamed up that flying magical space station thing named Mortis.

 

I mean if he looked at the "old" Jedi would that not give him more reason to follow the rule?

 

No... the Je'daii on Tython, and the Jedi for thousands of years, exited fine with families and marriages.

 

But even in the first arc of DotJ had Je'daii sepated from their familes.

 

No it doesn't. Those who weren't Force-sensitive left unstable Tython, but that's it. Remember the Twilek girl with the Je'daii mother and crimelord father?

 

On Tython, depends on whether Luke actually found the Je'daii temples or the Jedi ones of TOR era. The TOR era order tended to be the estrangement from families approach so its quite possible any expeditions to Tython simply uncover those ones instead of the earlier Je'daii relics. Mind you, it would be an interesting reformation of the order if Luke found the Je'daii one and said 'hmm, the Je'daii way seemed more balanced compared to Yoda's order'.

 

*achem*

 

Not really that excited about yet another family feud in SW, but I'm glad to see (apparently) a non-force-user as the main antagonist.

 

"Galaxy" must be a typo, right? Or does this take place generations after the comic book series?

 

They could be aware of the fact that there is a galaxy out there. They were just cut off from it when the Tho Yor thingies arrived.

 

I presume it's just marketing hyberbole.

Well, unless you're one of the people who believed it when the back cover said Caedus was the worst Sith Lord since Vader.

These days I increasingly get the feeling that "hypergate" is just meant to be seen as a general catch-all term for anything gate-shaped and involving fast travel.

A lot of the references in TOR don't always sound like they're meant to automatically be taken as Gree related, so it just seems the term has been widened into a generic one like how hyperdrives aren't always exactly the same.

 

DOTJ #1 mentioned rumors of there being a hypergate in Tython's "Old City", which certainly seems to tie in to both the TOR and DOTJ Novel things.

Although I'm a bit confused as to when exactly this is taking place in relation to the comic. If it's after or concurrent with the comic, you'd think someone in it would remember that another crazy guy just tried to blow up Tython using the "rumored" hypergate. If it's set after the comic, why is the guy so eager to use the hypergate to escape Tython, when the Rakatan ship should offer a much better option?

 

That depends on how you define "worst." Do you define it IU terms, or just that he was a really really crappy Sith Lord. If the latter, Caedus wins hands down.

 

If they're using Gree hypergates I want to see this kind: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Magwit's_mystifying_hoop

So much potential for mayhem.

 

"First, you’re particularly suited to the investigations required. Your time on Kalimahr brokering the Hang Layden deal displayed your sensitivity in dealing with inhabitants on the settled worlds. The assassinations on Nox saved many lives and prevented many awkward questions for the Je’daii. And your defusing of the Wookiee land wars on Ska Gora probably prevented a civil war."

I saw this in the excerpt, so the Je'daii Council send its ranger on assassination missions.
