    Summary

    A retelling of the Phantom Menace from the point of view of some of Obi-Wan Kenobi's childhood friends, with the camera focused squarely on the gossip, shenanigans, and drama of the Jedi temple while the movie's plot happens in the background. A look at how other Jedi would react to the political unrest and return of the Sith, and how they would try to support their friend after losing his master and gaining a padawan in the same day.

    It takes place in a slightly alternate universe, though major canon divergence only really occurs after the events of the Phantom Menace.

    Summary

    ‧₊˚- ✧ - ˚₊‧

    “I fear, Master Koon, though dinner would be lovely, that you are not the only one seeking my company tonight.”
    “Oh?” The kel dor inquires, nothing but curiosity in his voice as he raises a brow. “You have a visitor already?”
    “Four of them, actually.”
    “Ha!” Plo huffs, amused. “My, my, that’s almost a party, dear Master Windu! You could have sent me an invitation, you know?”
    “Please.” Mace sighs, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and dismissively waves his hand around. “If it were a party, I would be the most horrible host in history – given the fact that three out of my four visitors are asleep.”

    ‧₊˚- ✧ - ˚₊‧

    (Or: All Mace Windu had wanted was a sip of caf and a bite off of a granola bar. If he had known that this would end with the Council having a sleepover in his chambers, he'd probably have stayed in his office.... Or would he?)

    Summary

    "They give us these children and then tell us not to love them." The thought came unbidden to Dooku as he watched the boy. "They give us these children and then expect us to watch them be blown apart, and call it the will of the Force. "

    On Numidian Prime, Dooku saves Qui-Gon from a fatal encounter. But in the aftermath of the violence, all is not well between master and apprentice.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fabulous.

     

    Noteworthy quote(spoilers):

    “Do you remember your history lessons about the Sith?”

    “The Sith?” Qui-Gon went still.

    “The Sith. Before they became extinct, they operated as a pair - a master and an apprentice. There were never more than two at a time. But we are Jedi. We take a very different approach; we have a whole Order, a community. That is because we are strong together. We share our lives, we keep each other accountable, and when this life is hard - because this life we have chosen, Padawan, it is hard - we have each other to hold us up. Not just the two of us. The whole Order. Do you see what I’m telling you?”

    “I think so,” Qui-Gon bowed his head gravely. “Next time, I won’t try to do it all on my own.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Part 1 has fabulous canon-accurate world building when it comes to life in the Temple and how the Jedi initiates interact with each other and the Knights and Masters. Also lots of great stuff about various planets etc that may not have been filled out in either canon or legends.

    Part 2: more interesting world building with alien biology. Lots of great description of saberwork and forms. Lovely Jedi order familial relations. And sensible reworking of Legends stuff that didn’t fit with canon (aging out)

    Appearances from little Shaak Ti and Mace 😭 and Qui-gon 💛
