Last Gathering - Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order (PS5)

At the risk of giving away all of my fun headcanons, I just wanted to get the ideas out of my head and hear your thoughts.

Which one sounds cooler to you guys?

1. Altisian Jedi Phee Genoa with psychometry/force echoes who was trained by 3000 year old Kaminoan Jedi, Kina Ha...

(OR)

2. Kiffar citizen Phee Genoa who hides her clan tattoo under her bandana and can still use psychometry on treasure hunts to get the force echoes in artifacts and the surrounding area?

---

I went down a few Wookieepedia rabbit holes and blame all the Jedi Survivor for giving me psychometry ideas, BUT:

Phee could use Jedi mind tricks to get Cid to tell her about the clones from s2e1. Something that was supposed to be secret, AND Cid was known to help/ have ties with the Jedi in the past. -

She could have more reason for showing up AFTER Kamino fell specifically if either she or her master had seen a vision of its destruction. (Or oppositely if she just saw the echoes around Cid's bar and got curious.) -

She would just be a small branch of Jedi who the council didn't really agree with, or so far out of the way that Order 66 didn't directly apply to her. -

She has those weirdly specific bursts of strength all throughout s2e5 and plenty of places psychometry would apply. -

She could touch Tech's goggles and find out what happened to him post Eriadu incident! (cough-that he is alive-cough). -

OR when she touched his datapad, could have figured out where they were going and showed up to save Tech? (Adding it to my Tech is Alive theory pile...) -

And according to the wiki, Kina Ha's modified genes could be used to reverse clone rapid aging... There could be a poetic reason Rex and squad chose to decline it, but it could always be something for a good happy ending for the Bad Batch squad. -

But on the other hand, if she was just a Kiffar with the rare ability of psychometry, she could still use the force echoes and be interested in history, treasures, and such, and it would explain the lack of arguable places where she should have used the Force (especially in Entombed).

IDK? Let me know your thoughts on this, and if you want to write or draw anything for these headcanons specifically, tag me so I can both read/ reblog them!

I am hoping maybe I can write or draw something for these too, but the way my brain is working lately, I'm not holding my breath.

Thinking about “The Village Bride” and how all these acts of caring and love harmonize and build. A girl taking her grandfather’s place as collateral. The boy unwilling to let her go into captivity alone (or unarmed). Her sister refusing to accept that sacrifice, the friends who stand up to join her. The rest of her people gathering to give her what they can of celebration and recognition. An explorer comfortable among them, who will fight for them and theirs.

Thinking about how no single act of these can be enough to alter what’s coming in the morning. How not even every one together is enough. But also how all together they move to action someone who wasn’t one of them. Who may or may not have involved herself before, but definitively chose to now. Thinking about how that push changes everything. Not just for them but for her as well.

Thinking about how when she leaves she takes all those acts, hers and theirs, out with her into the galaxy where she’ll create new ripples. Thinking about how the beings touched by those ripples will never know these people exist, nor vice versa, but they’re all linked anyway.

I love finding in universe explanations for why things happened (even if out of universe it was because of budget cuts etc.) and recently i was replaying Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on grandmaster and now it is my headcanon that Cal's force echoes aren't just of the past, and any time i (out of universe) fuck up and he dies, he sees an echo of that future and changes something, i just think it adds a lot of angst to the story and also gives me an excuse for why im bad at videogames

actually, while I’m still hitting this fandom blunt and before I forget since I need to have a Big Conversation this afternoon and I’m fucking terrified,

“The Village Bride” is a philosophical successor to a light side KOTOR 2 playthrough (and to JFO but let’s be real I just said that) in how it treats the Force, physical space, memory, relationships, exile and identity, and trauma and recovery send tweet

and while we’re at it “exile” is a verb one suffers but also a state and a person and a place and an exsul is a wanderer and the label can be claimed and remade and so many of our Jedi are their best when they do just that
