connection [season one, episode four 'twilight']. some story points are below the cut <3

Nuri has recently become Mai's padawan and the training process has not gone well for either of them so far. Mai finds Nuri's bluntness and empathy abilities confronting while Nuri finds Mai passive and disingenuous. It isn't until they undertake a mission on Pantora that they find common ground. They pause their main mission to help a local village which is under attack from a beast. They are shown the village's dead and their scars. Nuri notices that Mai is visibly disturbed and stilled by the scars on the people’s faces, which are similar to her own.

They go hunting for the beast and discover its reasons for attacking the village: they stole and killed one of the beast’s babies months ago. But by being so angry at the villagers, the beast has started to neglect its other babies. They go back to the village and confront the villagers, who apologize and beg the Jedi to kill the beast. Nuri struggles not to get angry on behalf of the beast, instead being sharp to the leaders. Mai and Nuri have a discussion about what to do - Mai empathizes with the villager’s pain (they did not know what they were doing and now they have lost so many people). Nuri empathizes with the beast (who lost its cub and is now embroiled in its own grief). Mai suggest that Nuri use her powers to calm the beast and allow it to put its grief to rest.

They go into the cave and have an encounter with the beast - Nuri calms it and guides it into letting go of its grief. This is the first time Nuri has used her powers to release and calm pain in others and without realizing, she helped Mai work through her pain as well.

More of the backlog! I'm very fond of this piece, I drew it at the height of the bad batch hype!

[robotsandramblings]

been thinking a lot about Pantora lately, and it's potential role in any future 'clone rebellion' projects.

the above snapshot is from Pantora's Legends article, since we don't really know its fate yet in the disney canon. but i think it might be on the same trajectory -- or at least, i hope they're going that way.

In season 3, Senator Riyo Chuchi has a conversation with Senator Singh that indicates there's a "growing sentiment" amongst the Pantorans towards "a desire for true independence" -- so they're not just resisting the Empire, they want to break off from it entirely.

this would be a different but reasonable twist on the Legends version where the Empire simply ignores Pantora because it's too far away to bother with. (grid P19 on the map; it's on the outer rim of the Outer Rim.) or they could combine these two and have a mixture of the Empire wanting to be done with very pro-clone troublemaking Senator Chuchi and Pantora leaving the very anti-clone anti-good Imperial Senate.

either way, Pantora being free of the Empire lines up perfectly with Chuchi's ongoing clone support. i'd love to see Pantora become a sort of "clone hub" or "safehouse" for their growing numbers. (that lines up perfectly with the last paragraph of the above article to boot.)

Jedisona: Padawan Tavos Venn

High Republic era

Beast researcher

Tavos was born on Pantora, a cold Outer Rim world governed by the Pantoran Assembly. From a young age, he exhibited sensitivity to the Force, particularly in sensing the emotions and instincts of animals native to the frozen tundras of nearby Orto Plutonia.

He often wandered into snowfields to quietly observe the predatory narglatches, bonding with them emotionally in ways his family found eerie but fascinating.

“He doesn’t just see them—he feels them.”

What is one word (preferably a noun) to describe Chuchi? Her aesthetic? Or like vibe? Basically im trying to think of a spidersona name other than Spider-Senator.
