Jedi Academy: Tython

[Infinit01]

Just look at her..so freaking badass.... but do we get her or Mara Jade...nope.

I know that Disney has a history of creating damsels in distressed types of princesses or women; however, characters like Satele and Mara are women who are just kick ass.

And they scream that we're sexist because we don't like how mary sue Rey is 

Give us back our strong and 3D female characters

They could of done more with Rey but that's what we got unfortunately.

this was a long while later, and she had retired from being battlemaster as Zallow was more suited for the role.

Wow! That's harsh. Malgus killed both her master and apprentice. I'm surprised she didn't have a 'grey' arc of vendetta against him. That would have been interesting, considering that the 2 had been locked in conflict from the onset of the war.

Satele Shan became Grandmaster of the Jedi Order and eventually retired.  She had one son (non force sensitive) with Jace Malcom...the trooper that tried to blow up Malgus.  She is also the descendant of Revan

So when did this 'Jedi don't have relationships' thing begin.

    I find this difficult to follow since SW is a predominantly American franchise, writers would normally stick with American cultural references, and there for family names would follow the father's namesake. Now the relationship to Revan through his marriage Bastilla makes sense, but there would still be no blood relation.

It was going on then.  Satele broke off her affair with Malcom not too long before their son was born because of the Jedi edict against relationships.  She is Revan's grand daughter or great grand daughter (cant remember which).  Revan and Bastilla's child was given Bastillia's last name since Revan was just..Revan.  Satele's mother was actually sent into temporary exile (Jedi Time Out) to mediate on her views since she though Jedi should marry.

Ah.

I have also requested that the aside about Disney princesses be relocated. The purpose of the academy threads was to focus on Jedi and Sith and their respective realms of the Force.

No real need.  was just a one off tangent.  delete it if you wish

[Infinit01]

forgive the slight rant.  I am a bit of Disneyphile

I completely agree with you on every single character, Tepes.  I couldn't of said it better myself and didn't really pay attention to any of the sequels since I prefer the originals but I will give Cinderella III a view (never watched it).   Characters like Belle and Jasmine were great in my eye since they were their own and didn't try to "fit in" with anyone.  

Point for the character break downs and no apologies needed, I like hearing about people's personal take on things, characters, movies, etc.

Now I digress. (My bad about the Disney talk, back to Jedi and Sith talk)

I'm not sure but when you read the EU and play the games, there's a ton of Jedi with children and families.  I think maybe the Jedi having families or attachments were related to the original and prequel trilogies.   TFU, the Knights of the Eternal Throne, the Young Jedi series (books), or the Fallen Empire all deal with children of Jedi and Sith alike with a few characters that the parents weren't mentioned of.

I acquiesced.

As per DT's comment about it not really mattering, I just deleted them (only three).  It won't really affect your post counts at all.

No worries on my end, thanks Rapine.

I don't know a thing about any of the SW expanded universe. I keep hearing about gray jedi. I would really like to know what that is.

The easiest explanation is a Jedi with varying levels of dark side tendencies. Basically not the goody-two-shoes that your standard Jedi embodies.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Ah yes, what were we talking about?

That awesome lightsaber as seen at the top of the current page?  I must've found the other half because it looks familiar...

Greyness.  The fog of the black and white television.

Striving to a sort of neutrality or lack of involvement. Which according to chemists, making solutions, we're not part of the solvent either.

I have trouble with identification as a Gray Jedi. Basically, 99% of people in our mundane world fall into this category. I suppose it is more about identification of my character within the SW universe, maybe some more development on that front. Any guidance on this front would be appreciated.
