Name: Cohmac Vitus
Pronouns: he/him
Era: High Republic
Appears in: Into the Dark, Out of the Shadows, Midnight Horizon
Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus was a well-respected scholar and mystic during the High Republic era. He was the master of Padawan Reath Silas, and was good friends with the Wayseeker Jedi Orla Jareni. Cohmac had a very strong connection to the Force, and he was more affected by disturbances than other Jedi were. While Cohmac was rational and steady, he had unresolved issues with how the Jedi Order dealt with grief and emotions, which intensified during the Nihil conflict.
Check out Cohmac's video profile here!
Full profile under the cut:
Cohmac Vitus was a Jedi Master in the High Republic Era. In the Jedi Order, he was a well-respected scholar and mystic, particularly in the fields of folklore and ancient cultures. He was highly sensitive to the Force – moreso than most Jedi – and generally preferred reason and logic to acting on emotion. Cohmac was considered by many to be very handsome: he had light brown skin, greying black hair almost to his shoulders, and an angular build. In phase one of the High Republic, he’s probably in his 40’s or early 50’s. Nevertheless, Cohmac was “more resolute in his vows” than many other Jedi, although there were rumours he had once been in love. In any case, Vernestra Rwoh still caught Cohmac admiring Xylan Graf’s chest when he thought no one was watching.
While Cohmac considered himself to bring steadiness and rationality to the Jedi Order, that in itself came from a place of repressed emotions. Cohmac’s master, Simmix, died on a mission while Cohmac was still a Padawan. Not only did Cohmac feel responsible for his Master’s death, he was angry at the Jedi Order for not allowing him to grieve. He bottled up that anger within himself, but after the Great Disaster and the rise of the Nihil, it came to the surface. Cohmac began to question the Jedi philosophy and their approach to fighting the Nihil. Why were they expected to hide their feelings? Why did they ignore the Dark side of the Force instead of examining it?
While Cohmac often appeared to be unshakable, the Nihil conflict spurred his inner turmoil. He went from thinking like a scholar to believing that the Jedi could not flinch while facing the Nihil – and he started to fight like it.
Cohmac was the master of Padawan Reath Silas, another Jedi who preferred scholarly pursuits before his path led him elsewhere. Cohmac said that Reath would be his greatest instructor in the force, and they both pushed themselves to the edge of their comfort zones. He was also good friends with the Wayseeker Jedi Orla Jareni, who he had grown up with as younglings and who was with him on the mission that Master Simmix died. Orla was Cohmac’s opposite in temperament, but also one of the people he trusted the most.
🚨 Spoilers for The Fallen Star and Midnight Horizon: 🚨
While Cohmac hoped teaching Reath would help him find balance within the Order, Cohmac couldn’t get past his grief, anxiety, anger, and doubt. Orla’s death during the fall of Starlight Beacon was the last straw. That night, he officially named Reath a Jedi Knight and gave him his lightsaber. Cohmac said that he was no longer a Jedi, and disappeared into the night.
Gays in Star Wars, its more likely than you think.
Welcome to the bracket for queer Star Wars characters, from movie characters quietly confirmed to be queer to the most minor of book characters. Here they will compete to find the ultimate gay in space! This is for characters who are textually (or almost so) queer, and as such there is no need for nominations.
Every poll comes with a description of each characters, but we encourage you to submit propaganda for each character about why they should be voted for. Any propaganda against another character that is judged overly hostile or more for discourse shit-stirring than good fun won’t be published (if its off anon, we’ll let you know what’s wrong with it)
The bracket will begin on July 5th, with 3 polls per day, each running for a week. Only after all polls resolve will the next round begin.

The bracket is being run by @absolxguardian and @bisexualwintermoon
I had the absolute pleasure of being commissioned by Pride Squadron to design a bookmark to be handed out at this year’s Star Wars Celebration! Now that Celebration has passed, I’ve been given the green light to post my work online for you all to see!
All of the characters featured here are canonically queer characters from Star Wars: the High Republic. It was an absolute pleasure to draw them, and an absolute pleasure to work with the folks at Pride Squadron
[Image ID: the front and back designs of a two-inch by eight-inch bookmark, displayed side by side. The back of the bookmark (right) is a rainbow gradient overlaid with the text “We are all the Republic” in the font classic of Star Wars. These words are bracketed above and below by the High Republic logo. Between the words “we are all” and “the Republic” is the Pride Squadron logo – which itself is composed a central circle (one half of which featuring the Rebel insignia and the other half featuring the imperial insignia) with rainbow wings.
The front of the bookmark (left) is composed of four panels of character head shots, made to resemble a photobooth strip. The first panel features Vernestra Rwoh (a purple haired, green skinned, and blue eyed Mirialan girl) and Leox Gyasi (a blonde, pale skinned, blue eyed human man) standing shoulder to shoulder at a three-quarter view.
The second panel features Kantam Sy (a black haired, brown skinned nonbinary human with facial hair), their padawan Lula Talisola (a human girl with dark, voluminous brown hair that is partially in locs and brown skin of a slightly lighter shade), and Zeen Mrala (a pink skinned Mikkian girl with red eyes whose head-tentacles fade into purple). Lula and Zeen are seen cheek to cheek, with Kantam above them.
The third panel features Ty Yorrick (a brown skinned Tholothian woman with a gold head piece and blue-white head tentacles) and Ceret and Terec (a pair of nonbinary Kotabi twins with white skin and pale eyes surrounded by dark makeup. The twins are identical). Ty, standing behind the twins, is rolling her eyes, while the twins goof around in front of her. Ceret (left) is winking and sticking their tongue out, giving bunny ears to their twin, while Terec is cross-eyed.
The fourth panel features Jordanna Sparkburn (left) and Sylvestri Yarrow (right), Jordanna is a human woman with pale brown skin and wavy brown hair – the bits of which that frame her face bound in silver clasps. She is wearing something that resembles a brown poncho. Sylvestri is also a human woman, though with darker brown skin and 4C hair in an afro. She is wearing a red turtleneck and a blue jacket with gold detailing. The two are standing shoulder to shoulder, rather awkwardly looking away from each other. The background for all four panels is a pastel version of the same rainbow gradient featured on the back of the bookmark. End ID]
