I have this...idea...for an AU story/scenario about the fall of the Jedi. Or maybe an offshoot a few years after Order 66.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the “Salve Regina” scene from Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites, of the final scene where the sisters go, one by one, to the guillotine. I’ve been thinking about how a situation where religion was outlawed, where these sisters persisted in their faith only to martyr themselves, where one who had forsaken them came back in the end to share death (and salvation?) at the edge of a blade.
Anyway, I think this would be a harrowing reimagining of the fall of the Jedi (not like the original Order 66 needed to get darker, or anything), each member of the Council, perhaps, walking willingly to their execution, perhaps singing a hymn of the Order as they are sent into the Force, as it is done in the Poulenc.
