Alright, I've been reading Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Tales of the Jedi Volume 1 and I have to say, something that stands out to me is that the Je'daii do not have lightsabers yet!

Which makes sense of course, because they don't have hyperspace travel and they're only operating within the Tython system at this point in time (25,793 BBY). So they don't have access to kyber crystals. At this time, they use regular swords.

The first time they encounter a lightsaber (or a Forcesaber, as they call it) is when Xesh, this guy ⬇️

crash lands on Tython.

However, there's an interesting difference between Xesh's Forcesaber and lightsabers of later generations. Forcesabers can only be activated by using the Dark Side.

So when the Rakata (an alien enemy that is off enslaving the rest of the galaxy) come to Tython using Forcesabers, the Je'daii must build their own Forcesabers to combat them, since their regular swords are sliced to bits by the Rakata.

This isn't a huge problem for the Je'daii at this time, because they are not forbidden to use the Dark Side, they just must remain balanced. However, because they end up in a war with the Rakata, they must engage in battle with them quite often for about a year. Using the Forcesabers that long brings the Je'daii out of balance.

When the war is over, most of the Je'daii swear off using the Forcesabers to regain balance.

Hi I want to talk to people so what's your favorite niche nerdy fact? Or like just any fact that you like lol I'm not picky

Favorite niche nerdy fact: hmmm I assume you want something irl but I have no interest in its stuff so you get a Star Wars fact.

In Star Wars legends, there are several comic series called Dawn of the Jedi that show the beginnings of the Jedi order from the Je’daii order, and one of the main characters of that series, Xesh is a Force Hound of the Rakata Infinite Empire, and as a child, since he was force sensitive, the Rakata used him (and other force sensitive slaves) to power their machines using the dark side of the force, which stripped him of his empathy, leaving him unable to use the light side, which means that the force reacts with emotions and not intent, and I think that’s really cool.
