The Jedi are SO competent with the force. Some memorable points (spoilers ofc):

  • The masters’ restraint in never igniting their lightsabers unless lethality is absolutely necessary, relying on the force as their primary defence.
  • The contrast between Yord’s anxious rule-focussed approach and Sol’s force-led approach.
  • Torbin’s impenetrable force aura whilst meditating - for over 10 years!!
  • Sol’s ability to restrain Mae in-place whilst using the force to figure out what she knows
  • Every single example of Jedi mind trick use
  • The lightsaber hilts and sounds each being more refined and elegant imo

Instantly sending me back to the pre-prequel era games, books & comics this series is. I am so glad that they chose to flesh out this era with the High Republic books first to ensure we have a vast array of literature and strong world building to draw from.

Naturally hyped for next week. We’re eating well today.

The mind trick on the crazy/unstable man was great, just stop babbling nonsense and tell me the truth.
