Star Wars: Scion Of The Sun

He doesn't know how it happened or why. But before he could understand what was happening he found himself living an entirely new life, in a galaxy far far away. As a member of a prominent force-sensitive family to boot. Which comes with a set of problems all its own. Still, he will not waste this second chance that was given to him. He will rise, and carve his name into the history books. For the Scion of the Sun isn't someone to be taken lightly.

Chapter 4: Academy Days Episode IV

Reading the information coming across the screen on the terminal I am using I am using all my willpower not to snort, sigh, or start repeatedly banging my head against the table.

It has been a month since I reawakened the memories of my previous life.

Today I finally decided to visit the temple library and do some in-depth research into the history of the Jedi Order. Working to learn information that wasn't presented in the television shows, movies, or wiki in my previous life. After doing so for the past three hours I've reached two conclusions.

The first is that there is a lot of information on the Jedi and Jedi Order that was never mentioned at all in my previous life. The amount is actually quite staggering.

The second thing I've come to realize, is that the Jedi and Jedi Order aren't even a shadow of what they once wore.

Based on the historical records I've reviewed today the Jedi of the past wouldn't even wipe their asses with the Jedi of today. In fact I'm certain many Jedi of the past would be disgusted with how far the order has declined.

To say nothing of the Galactic Republic which the order has stood side-by-side with for centuries.

Don't even get me started on that cesspool of a government.

I've looked into it a bit as well, and I can say with certainty even if the 'Clone Wars' didn't take place the Republic would've only survived for another few centuries at best. The corruption is so rampant it's not even funny.

Then there are we Jedi who simply ignore it and instead focus on meditating and taking children away from their families and teaching them to be something akin to robots, shutting off their own emotions yet have the capacity to be mindful of the emotions of others.

It's a huge contradiction, and one of the biggest hypocrisy's I have ever come across.

With all this and more it's no wonder Palpatine was able to bring about his Galactic Empire without much trouble.

Which I honestly think would have been a bad thing for the galaxy. If only Palpatine and his lackies weren't running it.

If only...

But focusing on 'what ifs' will only have my mind running around in circles. So I won't do that.

Instead I'll focus on what I feel I must do. Not only for the future of the Jedi, but also for the people of the galaxy at large.

Especially given the Yuuzhan Vong will arrive here in another 65 years.

Which I know seems like a lot of time, but in reality it's not.

Not when taking incidents like the 'Clone Wars' or fighting and defeating Palpatine and his allies into account. That will take time. As will establishing a government better than the Galactic Republic that might see the Galaxy through another few centuries.

Centuries I hope will not include after and after conflict on a galactic scale like in the Expanded Universe.

Just thinking of coming face-to-face with some of the threats scares me shitless.

But well if someone's got to do it I might as well.

I mean given the fact I am a Jedi, and barring anything too crazy, along with this galaxies level of medical technology, I should be able to live for two or three centuries without issue.

So I'll definitely be around when shit hits the fan.

And of course seeing as how I really wouldn't want to leave my fates in the hands of other I'll clean the shit up myself.

So yeah.

Continuing my research into the history of the Jedi and the Order I decided to check out something very close to my heart.

Using the terminal I pulled up all the information the archives had on Nomi Sunrider.

My ancestor.

As well as a woman who is basically a giant middle finger to the rules of today's Jedi Order.

Because not only was she married, but she didn't start her Jedi training until adulthood. Yet despite both these facts she still went onto become a great Jedi, and one of the greatest and most respected grand masters in the entire history of the order.

I personally place her right up there with Yoda and Satele Shan.

A picture of Nomi appearing on the terminal I looked at it. Noting how the despite us being generations apart the color of our eyes is exactly the same.

A blue-hazel.

Which is not the only similarity between us.

Looking at Nomi's image I noted our facial structures are similar. In fact the only real difference I can see between us is the color of our hair.

Hers is a deep auburn almost red. While mine is a dirty blonde.

Oh and speaking of my appearance for some reason unknown to me I look highly similar to Gawain from Fate Grand/Order.

So not only am I a scion of the Sunrider family, but my appearance is that of the fabled Knight of the Sun.

Coincidence? I think not.

I'm sure the reincarnation system did this intentionally.

Though I don't mind one bit.

Since at least with Gawain's face I know I will grow up to be handsome in the future. Which will give me an easier time with the ladies.

For I don't plan to stick with that 'no attachment' rule the current order has in place. In fact I don't plan to follow most of the rules the current order has in place.

For I intend to create my own Jedi Order in the future. One more in line with Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order. I will create a place where force-sensitives can act like normal people, a place where they can have families, a place where they can learn to control their emotions instead of ignoring them. It will even be a place where force techniques that have been designated as 'dark side' powers will be taught. 

Because honestly, there are too many force powers classified as 'dark' simply because a majority of the time the Sith use them or create them.

Granted, there are some force abilities that should never see the light of the day, like Palpatine's Essence Transference, but there are others that with the proper control even Jedi can use. Like Cryokinesis.

The Jedi seem to keep forgetting there cannot be light without darkness. Their failure to understand this is what led to the first Geat Jedi Schism and creation of the Sith ages ago. A schism that has embroiled this galaxy in conflict after conflict for generations.

A never ending circle.

One that I want to break.

By finding true balance between the light and the dark.

I mean Revan did so, so why can't I?

Wait, fuck I'm trying to become a modern day Revan aren't I?

Well even if I am, it's better than the alternatives of the other Jedi who have gone crazy over the centuries. Like Exar Kun and Skeere Khan.

Oh and speaking of Exar Kun I need to remember to stay my ass away from Yavin Four where his spirit is hanging out. Since I don't want to clapping my cheeks or using my body as his own personal murder machine.

Though I will likely have to deal with him some day.

Since leaving him alone will only end in tragedy.

I just hope that when the time comes to face him I am ready, and I also hope that the spirit of Vodo-Siosk Baas come to aid me in my battle against Kun like he did for Luke and his New Jedi Order in the novels.

But once again, that is an event for the future.

Reading Nomi's personal information and achievements I suddenly felt a deep urge to live up to her legacy. I also felt the urge to view her personal holocron.

Unfortunately I cannot, since holocron access is restricted to Jedi Masters and members of the four Jedi Councils.

Finishing reading Nomi's information I decided I had did enough personal study for the day so I shut down the terminal and exited the library.

I then went to grab some lunch in the mess hall before heading into one of the temple's many training rooms.

Arriving I retrieved a training saber from one of the service droids, a privilege we adepts posses, and got into the opening stance for lightsaber combat form II: Makashi.

Since while my ultimate goal is to master all seven lightsaber forms my preferred styles to master the quickest are Makashi, form V: Shien/Djem So, and finally Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad.

That's why shortly after I awakened the memories of my previous life a month ago I did a bit of a research, asked and got some advice from Cin Drallig, and started practicing Makashi on my own time.

Sure it's no substitute for being trained in the lightsaber combat form by a real master, but I'll work with what I've got until I can get to that point.

Because I will eventually become a Padawan learner and apprentice under a Jedi Master. There is no way I'm going to be shoved into one of the orders four corps. Plus I don't think the order will let that happen given my heritage.

Oh and by the way it's a wonder more force-sensitives in the Jedi Corps haven't fallen to the dark side. I mean they train from infancy to become Jedi, told it is their destiny, and when they don't make the cut they are basically thrown away. If that happened to me I would definitely start resenting the main order quite a lot.

Which is why that is another thing on my long list to check into.

Moving on.

Inhaling and then exhaling slowly I opened myself up to the force, and let it guide my actions as best I could as I practiced the basic maneuvers for Makashi.

Upon reaching the two hour mark I stopped.

Then as soon as I did I heard a voice speak up.

"Sloppy, unrefined, yet with a lot of work I can see you making the Makashi form your own one day youngling."

Freezing in place I slowly turned around to catch a glimpse of the person who just gave me the harsh criticism, even though I am almost certain I know who it is. 

My guess proved right as when I was fully turned around I found myself looking at none other than Dooku.

[Insert Image of Dooku Here]

Well, this is certainly suprise.
