I love how Jedi hold their classes, the informal sitting around together, the way it allows for a more personal connection between the teacher and students, no hard structure to it, you just plop yourself down, get comfortable, and it looks so much cozier than desks and chairs. Plus LOOK AT ALL THESE ADORABLE BABY JEDI FROM EVERY ERA!!!

Sav Malagan | Identity: bisexual | Media: The High Republic

Sav Malagan is the main protagonist of the 2022 run of The High Republic Adventures, where she is an adventurous Jedi Padawan who temporarily abandons the Jedi path to join Maz Kanata’s pirate crew. To save Maz from the ragtag gang of darksiders known as Dank Graks, Sav pretends to join them. With them, she began to grow (romantically) close with Saya Keem. She fought beside Saya in the chaos of the Battle of Jedha. Despite their closeness, Saya betrayed Sav when her desire to free Maz was revealed. Feeling guilty about how she hurt Saya, she returned to Maz’s pirate crew to join them in freeing Takodana from the control of the Dank Graks. That adventure made her realize she did actually want to be a Jedi, especially since she now had the more suitable Tera Sinube as her master.

In Phase II, she is the wise and badass Marshal of the Jedi Temple on Takodana, a friend of Maz Kanata. There she single handedly defeated most of the Nihil attacking Takodana, although the temple was lost in the process. Then she traveled to Branchii, where she became a mentor to the young Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi. After the Temple there was destroyed by a Nihil attack, she joined Lily in ignoring the Council’s “return to Coruscant” order to protect the sector from Nihil stragglers.

Juhani | Identity: lesbian | Media: Knights of the Old Republic

Juhani from 2003’s Knights of the Old Republic was the first ever queer character in Star Wars. The Mandalorian Wars rendered Juhani’s family refugees on Taris after the destruction of their homeplanet of Cathar. Juhani was enslaved due to her mother’s debts, but was liberated by the Revanchists when they freed Taris from Mandalorian rule. This inspired her to travel to Dantooine to train as a Jedi, where she fell in love with her fellow padawan Belaya. For her final trial, she was tricked into believing she killed her master when consumed by the Dark Side. She fled into the wilds of Dantooine, her turmoil agitating the wildlife. Dealing with Juhani is the player’s final trial as a Jedi, and they can either kill Juhani or handle the situation diplomatically and return her to the light. She then joins the player as a companion.

Traveling together, Juhani grows close to Revan and can be romanced by female Revans (the game shipped with the gender flag for romance bugged, but she is intended to be a lesbian). She takes the player turning out to be Revan very well, as she never truly accepted that Revan turned to the Dark Side due to how the Revanchists saved her. If the Dark Side ending is chosen, the player must kill Juhani.

Juhani strives to be a good Jedi, strongly believing in their principles. However, she struggles with the in-born aggression and heightened anger of her species, which with her perfectionism creates a vicious cycle that drives her towards the Dark Side. Other than Revan, she kept herself separate from the rest of the crew of the Ebon Hawk, especially Canderous Ordo due to the Mandalorian’s genocide of her people. She was also full of bitterness regarding the racism she faced on Taris, and struggled not to lash out against all humans because of it.
