Star Wars Chat Pack: Which Star Wars character is most like you?

Welcome to Day 29 (we’re getting there!) of my NaBloPoMo Challenge, where I randomly draw a card from the Star Wars Chat Pack.

Today’s question is: Which Star Wars character is most like you? What traits do you share?

Let’s see. Not many! Star Wars is full of larger-than-life characters: brave, reckless, dangerous, devious, genius, ambitious, charming, you name it. I’m not really any of these things, lol. But I think I do share a trait or two with certain characters.

I’d like to think I’m kind and compassionate like Obi-Wan. Most of the time.

I tend to be studious and enjoy learning; I’d rather spend time in a library than go on adventures, like Reath Silas.

There aren’t many space-moms in Star Wars (Padme didn’t get a chance; Leia was a career mom who clearly loved her child but lost him). But I do like Miramir, Rey’s mother, and admire the lengths she went to in order to protect her child. Oh, and Shmi is a great mom, too.

I’m an animal lover, like Ezra. He’s also a little goofy, which I can relate to, lol.

And let’s not forget: I’m always hungry, like Grogu.

So not one person in particular; just certain parts of many characters. And I suspect that’s true for most of us.

What about you? Which character(s) are you most like? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!

Star Wars Chat Pack: What kind of Jedi would you be?

Welcome to Day 24 of my NaBloPoMo Challenge, where I randomly pick a card from the Star Wars Chat Pack.

Today’s question is: Scholar, diplomat, explorer, guardian–what kind of Jedi would you be?

Jocasta Nu

I think I might have talked about this before, but I would be some kind of scholar. I would love to work in the Jedi Archives like Jocasta Nu, a kind of Jedi librarian. To have that kind of galaxy-wide information at my fingertips, and to help others access it, would be awesome. I’m a bookish-type in real life (if you haven’t already figured that out) and just wouldn’t adapt well to the more adventurous Jedi lifestyles.

Cohmac Vitus

Jocasta Nu naturally isn’t the only scholarly Jedi. In the High Republic, Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus was renowned as a scholar and a mystic. He didn’t work in the Archives, but he studied folklore and cultures as he traveled the galaxy. Cohmac eventually left the Jedi Order, as he did not believe the Order and the Jedi Code were made for what the galaxy was becoming in its fight against the Nihil.

Qui Gon Jinn

Cohmac reminds me a lot of Qui Gon Jinn, who, while I wouldn’t call him a scholar, had studied the Prophecies and was a bit of a mystic. I believe Qui Gon, if he had lived, would not have participated in the Clone Wars, as the Jedi Code did not encompass Jedi being generals in a war. I think he would have, like Cohmac, left the Order, or perhaps become a Wayseeker of old, remaining a Jedi, but operating outside the supervision of the Order. It wasn’t really a thing anymore during his time, but I think he might have done it anyway, being the maverick he is.

Reath Silas

Cohmac’s Padawan, Reath Silas, was much like his master, preferring the Archives to missions out in the galaxy. In fact, he would have been happy to stay on Coruscant forever and do his work in the Archives. Over time, he became more comfortable on missions (he kind of had to, as the Nihil increased their attacks), but it’s still not his favorite part of being a Jedi.

I think that’s why these Jedi are some of my favorites–I can relate to their interest in scholarly study, in learning, in ancient knowledge. While I think it would be cool to know how to use a lightsaber–and these Jedi do, of course; they just prefer not to have to use it–I wouldn’t relish a confrontation of any kind, lol. But a Jedi does what a Jedi must.

What kind of Jedi would you prefer to be? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
