From Wookiepedia:

On this day in Star Wars...
March 2, 2013: Ahsoka Tano walked away from the Jedi Order.
March 2, 2015: Ahsoka Tano returned as Fulcrum.

Wow! Do you think they did that on purpose?

I'll bet on it.

Ahsoka's ridiculously popular anyhow and the way Disney axed TCW just begged for some closure.

Khajiit adores Ahsoka. She (and by extension her interaction with Anakin) was one of this one's favorite parts of TCW.

I thought it was sad too. You will note when you watch the end of that episode the sound is completely different than normal. In other episodes there is a big flourish of triumphant music as soon as the screen fades to black and the credits begin. The end of that episode was the opposite. It just falls into silence, like a bottomless chasm opening under your feet.

But the end of that episode also gave me hope for Ahsoka. Because I saw it as a chance she would survive.

Khajiit started watching and saw up until Vader's first appearance. This one wants to see the others but until they appear on either Netflix or Amazon Prime Video he will be unable to.

It's done. It's finished. I. . . Did not expect it to end the way it did. But I suppose it makes sense. They were both past their peaks, but only one moved on and perhaps became more powerful because of it.

I started reading Dawn Of The Jedi: Into The Void today. I have not gotten far yet, but the difference between the Je'daii and the Jedi is quite striking. This quote really sums it up:

"The Force is neither light nor dark, master nor slave, but a balance between extremes."

Still pissed off that they never showed Ahsoka bite Vader's saber! It's so damn annoying how one-sided the show is! I swear if all the members of the Ghost Crew make it all alive in the finale I'm going to kick Felonious' ass personally!

I finished reading Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void. It was neat to have a look 25,000 years in the past, before the Jedi or Sith were invented. Before lightsabers were invented, or even hyperspace travel. The vastly different philosophy of the Je'daii is what really interested me though:

A Je’daii needs darkness and light, shadow and illumination, because without the two there can be no balance. Veer to Bogan, and Ashla feels too constraining, too pure; edge toward Ashla, and Bogan becomes a monstrous myth. A Je’daii without balance between both is no Je’daii at all. He, or she, is simply lost.

Then I started reading Outbound Flight, and one of the first things I read was:

There is no emotion; there is peace.

A complete rejection of balance, or emotion entirely. What is interesting is that I have seen several interviews of George Lucas in which he describes the Force as the Je'daii would, a balance between light and dark, passion and reason. He says that if you reject one or the other it would put you out of balance. So I wonder why he wrote the Jedi Order as being so unbalanced toward the light? Was it intentional, because he wanted it to be clear that their own straying from the path of balance was in part responsible for their downfall? Or was it just a [censored] up in the writing?

And then there was the whole "Anakin is the 'Chosen One' who will bring balance to the force." thing. What was that all about? As far as they knew, Anakin was a light side Jedi. To bring balance, he'd have to do something really bad.

Can't remember if posted a picture of this or not, but if I did here's a replacement photo: AT-ACT Replacement.
The first one I had completely malfunctioned as the NERF launcher broke and the Bluetooth controller stop working but I wanted an AT-ACT Walker so I bought another one but this time its mostly a display piece. Still when the old one worked it was a fun little toy to play with.
I also have a scout walker but I'm at odds with it cause in someways I like it and in others I hate it. What I do like is its well detailed but what I hate about it is its VERY unstable standing up. I really wished they did something else to the legs to make it more stable.

Man Khajiit loves the Walkers! Impractical as all hell, but there's just something about the slow, steady, seemingly inexorable advance of the ATs and the STs are just cool (in Khajiit's opinion), no matter how ridiculously they were treated in RotJ.

I think Lucas was kind of boxed in really.

In the original trilogy, Obi-Wan and Yoda are training Luke to kill his father, and are keeping him ignorant of that fact. They're weaponising him. Especially when you consider the fact that Vader knew exactly who Luke was, because they didn't even try to hide him.

And then in The Empire strikes Back, when he has a vision of his friends in trouble, Obi-Wan and Yoda both urge him not to leave, to sacrifice his friends in order to complete his training.

And then, in Return of the Jedi, Luke steps out of the entire Rebellion vs Empire battle to try to save his father. And just for some bonus points, there's that moment when Luke goes to Jabba and force chokes the guards. And there's always the question of where those mind tricks he and Obi-Wan used fall on the scale.

In the original trilogy the Jedi were not the good guys. They were very much grey, at least in their methods, compared to the black and white of the Empire vs Rebellion struggle.

But the Expanded Universe missed that, and built up thousands of years of war after war between the Jedi and the Sith, light side versus dark side. Now, however much Lucas might have disliked the EU, he had to acknowledge that they've kept the franchise going with that, and dropping the Jedi/light vs Sith/dark would have risked alienating a lot of the long standing Star Wars fans.

This one wonders how that will effect his teaching. It sounds like he's realized that the traditional "Jedi way" isn't practical, hence his comment about them needing to end. As SubRosa has pointed out many times, the original force users embraced more balance than what we saw later Jedi and Sith teach. Perhaps they are moving to that sort of mentality, considering that both the Jedi ideal and Sith ideal have failed.
Callidus Thorn
Just from sheer curiosity I watched the trailer.

What got me wondering is that line "It's time for the Jedi to end".

What Jedi? Who's even left? And what have they been doing that's prompted that conclusion? Or is it simply the way the galaxy keeps screwing itself up going after them?

And that got me wondering if they've gonna continue borrowing from the KotOR franchise and have him take a page from the book of Darth Traya...

Well let's see I have a Rei figure that's similar to Episode 8 Rei, I don't need episode 8 Millennium Falcon I have the TFA one so I'm good on episode 8 figures biggrin.gif. I think when Luke said the Jedi must end, its being speculated that Grey Jedis might be coming into canon. I guess we'll know more when E8 comes out.

Just the standard one. She's in her Resistance gear which seems to be close to her Episode 8 appearance.
SubRosa
I just watched the trailer. Before Luke says the Jedi must end, Rey is having a vision and saying she sees Light, Dark, and a Balance. So that does imply that Luke wants to end the polarized views of Jedi/Sith, and go back to the earlier Jed'aii view of a balance between both sides of the Force.

But then again, that was not in the original trilogy. Seeing that JJ Abrams is not capable of doing anything new or original, it is all probably just some things they did for the trailer and won't even be in the movie. Instead we'll just have a scene of Imperial Walkers on a big plain attacking the Rebel base, and a bunch of Rebel Airspeeders flying in to attack them. Oh wait, that was in the trailer too!
