Weekend Reading Recs

Not Marvel this time! And just one story this week--except it’s also sixteen. It’s a series: the Jedi Shmi series by MirandaTam. I’ve read almost all of it in the past week.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/480208

The basic, initial premise is that Shmi leaves Tatooine as well as Anakin, and because she is also basically Chosen One material except for being thirtyish, she becomes a Padawan too--largely in part because she is thirtyish, she’s an adult who has a full and nuanced understanding of the world, and she makes a good argument to the Jedi Council that attachment can also lead to compassion as well as suffering.

She becomes Yoda’s Padawan.

In that basic premise, and in a few moments early in the series, it can feel maybe a little cliche/Mary Sue-ish if you want to read it critically--“she comes out of nowhere, picks up meditation and mental shielding without being taught, disrupts the Council, and becomes Yoda’s Padawan just because she’s so shiny and awesome?”--but it’s honestly less cliche and Mary Sue-ish than, well, Anakin in The Phantom Menace. And she’s already being written as an interesting and complex adult, talking to Qui-Gon as a peer and giving advice to Obi-Wan. She’s got unintentional Force mastery in some ways already, which plays into it too.

The way she thinks of that use of the Force ties in with some of my favorite stuff about this series, which is Tatooine slave culture and legends, the knowledge of the sandstorms and suns, how to hide while staying true to yourself. There is a lot of that and it’s great.

Then we get into Beru (as in Aunt Beru), who is now Jango Fett’s protege, and her adopted brothers the clones.... 

Oh, and Anakin does make good on that line that Phantom Menace threw in there and then didn’t follow up on, where he dreamed that he’d come back to Tatooine and free all the slaves. It’s more complicated than that, and involves Beru and Ahsoka, but yeah.

Seriously, it’s so good. Very insightful comments on self-knowledge and duty and action that are applicable to spirituality and to activism; great pacing; good character voices; funny at times and very exciting at others.
