From Star Wars: The High Republic - Trail of Shadows #001

Art by David Wachter and Giada Marchisio

Written by Daniel Jose Older

I’ve been on a Greek mythology kick lately, so, as a lark, here’s a quick list of a few Star Wars characters and Greek characters I think they resemble:

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oedipus. Both men are noble of character and have heroic intentions. They are devoted to their adopted families, remarkably competent in their jobs as generals and leaders, and they always try to do the right thing in any situation they encounter. But, both are doomed by the narrative to take part in the downfall of their families and cultures, and all of their heroic efforts come to naught. Both of them ultimately end up punishing themselves for circumstances beyond their control, and perishing in exile.

Anakin Skywalker: Heracles. The most physically powerful heroes of their respective mythos, they earn reputations of renown for their feats of strength and ingenuity. Both men fall under the influence of powerful beings who want to destroy their souls, and end up murdering their entire families in fits of madness. But, both men also eventually come to their senses, and though they can never erase the horrible things they’ve done, they devote the rest of their lives to attempt to make some recompense for their crimes, and ascend to godhood as a result.

Darth Maul: Sisyphus, natch. Local bastard keeps cheating death, and it’s really starting to piss death off. Sentenced to always be working towards a goal that can never be achieved.

Princess Leia: Antigone. Devoted daughter-figures to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Oedipus, respectively. Doomed to deal with the fallout of their predecessor’s choices, and not happy about it. Stubbornly do the right thing in defiance of the law, knowing full well that it will cost them their lives. Ultimately they die before they can see the benefit of their life’s work, but both go out like complete badasses, and their deaths cause chain reactions that eliminate the families of their enemies.

Luke Skywalker: Perseus. “I’m just the simple adopted son of a farmer/fisherman who wants to fight injustice. Oh, my family is now being harmed by that injustice? Game on, motherfucker, I’m gonna punch you out with the help of this cool new sword my mentor got for me. Oh, there’s a princess in danger of being consumed by a monster? Well of COURSE I have to rescue her! And…wait, what the fuck do you mean, my bio dad’s an asshole god?”

Rey: Psyche. Both abandoned by their families because of a curse, both get sucked into a never-ending cosmic family drama that has caused yet another war. Their character arc involves winning over many of the other players in this family drama to try and reconcile them with each other, to mixed effects. Both are brought back from the dead by their love interests, and go on to rebuild their lives after the war’s end.

Types of Ancestors

We're approaching Samhain so a good time to resurface this one because every year people ask - but what if my ancestors were terrible people?

So a quick rundown of other types of ancestors that we can work with. (The terms aren't mine but rather used in the community. They should help if you want to find more info on a specific type to work with.)

Ancestors of Flesh and Blood are biological ancestors (shared DNA)

Ancestors of Milk and Honey are those who nourish us (adoptive ancestors)

Ancestors of Bone are the ancestors of the land (bones of the earth connection)

Ancestors of Breath and Bread are those we share a vocation, craft or interest with.

Ancestors of Spirit and Soul are those who we share a spiritual path with.

Spoilers for Young Justice season 4!

The annual tradition of harassing Jorgan has returned

Relationship headcanons I guess???

Juhani and Revan are in a queerplatonic relationship. I just think ace lesbian Juhani is Neat

Revan's love for Carth reminds her most strongly of what she felt for Alek, back when they were Jedi. it's definitely romantic in nature, but it's a bit...distant, perhaps, hard to hold on to sometimes. a bit painful, but worth it in the end

it's more than just physical lust that Revan feels for Canderous. it's something deeper, something that makes her feel free, even with how fucked the Council left her. it makes her feel...whole

being around Bastila can be difficult, sometimes, because she knows. she knows what the Council did to her, and despite that, it feels...safe. comforting to be around her, even if she's been prone to lecture. she just wants Bastila to feel as safe and whole as she does

Mission is Revan's Little Sister. she doesn't know how to be a parent, so she'll leave that to Carth and Canderous

sometimes, Revan will refer to herself as "the Ebon Hawk's resident Droid Mother". she doesn't remember building and programming HK, but she still feels something she can only really describe as parental pride. she does all of the maintenance for both HK and T3

Jolee is...well, a grounding influence, honestly. he's helped to keep Revan from falling apart much further than she might have if he wasn't there to offer her a steady guiding hand
