This is the first part of an ongoing Jedi Text Translation series

The Sacred Jedi Texts are ancient writings of the Jedi religion in the world of Star Wars. Though their appearance is limited to just two of the films (The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker), they are given the thematic weight of representing the entire history of the Jedi religion.

In The Last Jedi, Yoda opines: “Read them, have you? Page turners they were not!”

Likewise, Phil Szostak (Lucasfilm creative art manager) has warned:

“designers don’t have time to add Easter eggs, lore hints or layers of symbolism (outside of the obvious). If you’re searching for hidden meaning in #StarWars art, it’s simply not there.”

Let us keep those thoughts in mind as we begin to explore and translate the Jedi Texts.

Keep reading

This irksome private, protected, not public

To keep to yourself instead of share openly

To quietly, quietly die watching the years pass by

Private static void

Normality is a strong word. To me, it conveys a state of averages. An average of averages. The most average you can imagine.

It is not happiness. It is not sadness. It is not success, nor is it failure. It is neutrality. It is numb, actionless, paralyzed, compliant and silent. It is a state where some would prefer us to remain.

Rise up. Do what I could not do in my lifespan. Show the world that prescribed procedure is a minuscule member of our wondrous universe.

With your actions, speak for those of us who are now unable.
