Jedi Appreciation!

A blog hosting the Jedi June Appreciation Event! (Banner credit @independence1776)

Jedi June 2026

A creative fandom event dedicated to appreciating the Jedi, taking place during the entire month of June! Each week will feature two prompts, around which people can create fanwork (of any kind – fic, art, cosplay, edits, anything you can think of) or meta focusing on the Jedi and the Jedi Order. All eras and continuities are welcome; OCs, established characters, doesn’t matter – it just needs to be about appreciating the Jedi!

Rules:

If you are participating, please tag your work/meta with #jedi june and/or @ this blog so that I will see it and reblog it here. All work must be your own. Feel free to crosspost it off-site.

This is an appreciation event, focusing on what we love and enjoy about the Jedi – not what we don’t. This is not the place to air your grievances with the Code, take potshots at the Council, prop certain Jedi/certain eras of Jedi up at the expense of others, or disparage the Jedi Order or their philosophy (including the concept of non-attachment) and way of life in any way. You are free to do that on your own time if that’s your thing, but it has no place within this event.

AUs and crossovers are allowed, with caveats: again, the purpose of this event is to appreciate the Jedi as Jedi, so sticking your favorite Jedi characters in something like a modern AU or making them all Sith or Mandalorian is not really within the spirit of this event. However, AUs such as making a non-Jedi character a Jedi, having a character survive their canon death, giving a character a different teacher or padawan, or killing Palpatine off-screen in an unspecified yet embarrassing and painful manner, would all be perfectly fine. Use your best judgement to determine whether an AU fits the spirit of the event or not.

On non-attachment: in a general sense, attachment refers to grasping, clinging, possessiveness, jealousy, and the "I can't live without you"/"I will burn down the galaxy before I risk losing you" attitude. See this post and this post for more information. A romance can certainly exist without these things, so you can certainly write Jedi in relationships for this event!

Please tag any spoilers up to two weeks after the relevant content has aired.

Following the prompts is encouraged, but not required. Any sort of pro-Jedi content is encouraged all year month long, and if tagged (and following the rules), will be reblogged.

We also have an AO3 collection!

Prompts:

Week 1 (June 1 - 7):

Prompt 1: Resilience

Prompt 2: A Choice Not Taken

Week 2 (June 8 - 14):

Prompt 1: Compassion

Prompt 2: The Jedi Code

Week 3 (June 15 - 21):

Prompt 1: Interconnected

Prompt 2: Life, Death, and The Force

Week 4 (June 22 - 30):

Prompt 1: Lightsaber

Prompt 2: Jedi as Family

Bonus (any time):

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I hope you will have fun participating!

Death, yet the Force, Qui-Gon repeats to himself as he gathers his fallen Padawan into his arms. He knows it and believes it, and he will relinquish this beloved spirit into the hands of the Force if the Force wills it so. But his Padawan’s time has not come—at least, not yet—and the Force surrenders Obi-Wan and his flickering spirit to the trembling hands of Qui-Gon Jinn.

The duel with Maul on Naboo goes differently. Qui-Gon must cope with the aftermath.

My kiddo wants to participate this year, too!

I'll be sure to share!

Awesome! Please do!

[jedijune]

Thank you so much for running this event, each year without fail, six years in a row. I look forward to it every year! It's *the* big highlight of before-summer time for me.

Thank you!!!!! 💖

Thank you! I'm thrilled by how many people participate every year, everyone creates such lovely fanwork and I love encouraging Jedi positive content. Jedi June is such a success because of all of you!

Day 3: "No Order 66 AU"

Guys.

The story of this fanart....

Back in 2023, one of the servers I was on caught (sparked?) the crechemaster!Obi-Wan fever.

I read by the following acts committed, and chewed on it.

In 2024, one of @jedijune prompt was "music" and I really wanted to do a fanart of Obi-Wan playing space-gottan. Not enough time.

Then one of @codywanweek prompt was "Crechemaster!Obi-Wan". So I was determined to make a crechemaster!Obi-Wan playing space-gottan to his kids and Cody would be involved somehow.

My love for and desire to draw the Room of a Thousand Fountains got mixed in. Started but could not finish it in time.

Since then, I have been working on it on and off. I have asked @cacodaemonia for her opinion and help a million times. Her patience with me cannot be overstated. I was wriggling my hands like crazy. I wanted to finish it for @codywanweek 2025.

Then I saw the prompts of this year but none seemed to fit. Tragedy. @thesunlikehoney was the one who kindly pointed out it was actually a "No Order 66", if it was supposed to be a happy AU where nothing bad happened to them and they had a happy ending.

The mods of @codywanweek were very kind to accept this "recycling" and my questions about it.

My apologies to @jedijune for finishing a year too late. At least you've got to see what became of that prompt?

IN SHORT, it took forever and a village.

Thank you to everyone :') 💕💖💕💖💖💕💕💖💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖

You guys don't even know how happy it makes me.

Cody is on leave, visiting the Temple and heard music. He followed the sound and...

Obi-Wan is wearing an obi in the colors of his little pantoran to make him feel like he belongs because the poor little guy is the only one who doesn't fit the color scheme of the clan.

This is a True Disney Princess Moment where our hero falls in love at the princess's first song. Yes. I am unrepentant about that one.

Then Obi-Wan discovers Cody has a lovely voice too! Since it's a happy AU, there will be many more opportunities for them to sing together 😉

Cody loves the Room of a Thousand Fountains and never wants to leave. Obi-Wan is happy to oblige. His clan allows it. He makes a good climbing tree.

That's it!!!

Posted a new fanfic for Jedi June!

Things went really awry with my Jedi June plans, mental health struggles and the like. But I am proud of getting at least one done before the month is out! Below is the prompt fic for Jedi June, the prompt being Hope.

“He reached out to her, but there was nothing to grasp, nor any hand to grasp it; he’d had some crazy half-formed idea to grab her and slingshot around the black hole and out again, because he’d half forgotten that this was only a vision after all, only a metaphor, and if he tried to stretch it into reality it would shatter. So instead he brought his light to bear, focusing a bean of the force on his sister star.”

"Then I am alone. I am the last of the Jedi." "Not the last of the old Jedi, Luke. The first of the new."

To celebrate the end of Jedi June, I present these exceptional young men. All Force-sensitive Rebel Alliance operatives who came into their own after the fall of the Order. All guided in the ways of the Jedi by a survivor of Darth Sidious's purge. And all, in their own ways, setting the stage for the return of the Jedi Knights to the galaxy.

my dead grow in number all the time

Look who wrote one who thing for @jedijune. I wrote it very early too, so intended to get at least a few more out but that doesn't appear to be happening.

Anyway, this takes place after the First Battle of Geonosis, and is largely just a meditation on grief, filling the first surviving / thriving prompt, admittedly mostly on the surviving front

also, despite the grim title it's not dark at all

[coline7373]

Neti rarely grow flowers but having a new great-grand-padawan is such a joyous occasion.

💜💖💜💖💜

I am starting to tap out on poses so, as we are less than two days away from the end of drawingeverythingjune2025 and jedi june, this will be my last imposed pose, I think.

I have one more from this year and one more from last year I want to finish before I keel over.

I won't have the time to shade this one but I want you to appreciate that before I splatter purple everywhere for a more celebratory mood, I did draw them in their (more or less) canon colors.

VVurmhole

Plo Koon encounters something strange: Obi-Wan, traumatized and protecting two newborn infants. It quickly becomes apparent that the reality this Obi-Wan comes from is not Plo's own. Written for Fandom Empire Fortune Wheel 2025 - Week 7: Time Travel and Jedi June 2025 - Prompt: Hope and Gen Prompt Bingo Round 28 - Prompt: Hey, you're me: meeting AU counterparts and What-if AU Bingo (#71) - Prompt: Time Travel and Lyrical Titles Album Challenge 2025 - Song: "VVurmhole" - Chevelle - NIRATIAS

Plo walked calmly towards the standoff and stopped just short of it in mild surprise.

When his men had contacted him with the information that they were engaged in a tense standoff with a distressed and disoriented General Kenobi, Plo had assumed it had been some trick of the enemy. Obi-Wan, he knew, was currently at the Temple, and even on the fastest ship could not have reached Plo’s deployment in the time since Plo had last spoken with the Council.

Yet, the man in front of him was no trick, holding his lightsaber out as a warning, but not yet preparing to strike as he glanced warily from trooper to trooper. He was no copy or illusion, his presence clear in the Force despite how much pain dulled it.

And his was not the only presence, Plo realized, two bright spots in the Force in a hastily constructed sling around him. One of them gave a loud cry, and the troopers startled.

“General, is that a baby‽”

Obi-Wan’s grip on his lightsaber tightened, a sense of reluctant preparation coiling around in the Force. It was evident that he did not want to risk the children in a fight, but the sense of being cornered was palpable.

It was good that Plo had come. For some reason, Obi-Wan, however he had come here, believed the men were a threat, and this situation could easily escalate. Offering as much serenity as he could find these days, Plo stepped forward.

“Master Kenobi.”

Obi-Wan turned, and his eyes widened. Tension bled away from the Force.

“Master Plo, you’re alive!” A bone-deep relief suffused his words. Obi-Wan glanced back at the 104th, brow furrowed. “Your men, they haven’t…they didn’t…”
