A hologram can tell a story of someone who lived a long time ago. As the one who has stuck with me since I was a child. Through R2D2 I saw different events surrounding my grandfather Anakin Skywalker and witnessed his journey to become the most powerful man I have even seen Darth Vader. But the hologram that sticks with me, isn't that of my grandfather but of another. A girl, I only ever seen the hologram of her funeral. She looked so peaceful yet so powerful at the same time. I remember searching through the pictures of all those who lived around the time as my grandfather, as I had seen a few pictures of him with this mysterious girl when Artoo showed me what I requested.

For some reason I never found a name to go with her, yet even now when I am no longer than curious child, but a man trying to live up to the legacy of my grandfather Darth Vader, she still makes me curious. My grandfather knew her, he was close to her in those pictures, yet no one knew her name, no one knew if she had a legacy. She was just a lost part of history. Like all the Jedi of the Galactic Republic I suppose. Only a few names from that time remain. Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and Yoda. Other names like Count Dooku and Darth Maul also live on but there is no picture to put to the name.

I can tell you what she looked like from the picture. She had slightly sun kissed skin, slim frame, she wore the normal Jedi gear but hers showed off her toned stomach, she was about five seven in height, just reaching above the shoulder on my grandfather. She had a captivating smile, and big midnight blue eyes. There was a scar going down her left eye and a cross the right side of her stomach. Her black hair was done up in a pony tail that reached her lower back. Her fringe had purple streaks going through it. I could tell from the background the picture was taken during the clone wars. Before my grandfather turned into the feared person he became.

I remember when I was younger and first found the picture, I asked my mum and dad who she was, they admitted they didn't know, when I asked my uncle Luke. He said he wasn't sure but I could tell by his hesitation he knew who she was. He just didn't want to tell me. Its funny how that one person sticks with you. Throughout my Jedi training I tried so hard to find who she was, any record of her, any little piece of information. Then Artoo beeped something at me, it was a place on the peaceful planet of Naboo. I remember going to the location he mentioned, when I got there I found a mausoleum, the symbol of the Jedi and the Galactic Republic painted on the stain glass, the marble tomb of someone from the past. There was a plaque there as well, written in a language that you didn't see very often now. It was like a coded language.

I could just make out what some of words said. Only Jedi to be buried rather than cremated, friend, knight, master and sacrifice. Just reading those words made me all the more curious to find out who she was. I know had my answer on how she knew my grandfather, they would have been Jedi at the same time, although that doesn't explain who she is or who the young boy pictured with her is. I hope I could find out the answers. Surely someone out there besides my uncle knows who she is. Surely someone besides him could answer my unending questions.

It wasn't until a few years later when I finally got my answers. A man called Ezra noticed a picture I had, he said the boy in the picture was his former master Kanen Jarrus. He also mentioned the girl who I had spent years curious about was Kanen's master. She had died at the end of the clone wars, although he never mentioned her name, I at least had Kanen go by, surely with the name of her padawan learner I would be able to find out who she was and find out how close she and my grandfather were. I always wondered if she was so close to my grandfather how come no one knew who she was. Not even C3PO seemed to know her, but then again he didn't even know who my grandfather was so that's not to surprising.

It wasn't until nearly a year after finding out the name of the boy did I finally put a name to the girl in the photograph. I had to find out who Kanen Jarrus really was, as there was no record of him before a year or so after the clone wars ended. I found out through the rebel files Kanen's actual name is Caleb Dume and he was the Padwan of Raya Black, the youngest Jedi Knight in history. She was the only Jedi to be more powerful than my grandfather, and one of the few who could wield both sides of the force.

As you can imagine when I found out her name I wanted to find out about her, she was intriguing. I spent so long trying to find her name and now I had I wanted to know more. She must have been important, she was the only Jedi Knight to be buried rather than cremated, yet she appeared to have been lost with time. I'm guessing both the new republic has some records of her out there somewhere, as does R2 and probably whatever remains of the empire. I know the First Order will have something on her, the Jedi were important to the history of the Galaxy, she will be there I am sure of it.

If you are wondering why I am telling you this, its because I think you ought to know about one of the most important people in Galactic history. Even know her role isn't done, like most Jedi she found the path to immortality. When everything she knew was destroyed, the galaxy lost her, a bright soul who was never afraid. So this is for Raya Black, Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic and best friend of my grandfather Anakin Skywalker. Maybe by bringing recognition to her, I can restore the memory of so many other Jedi. Obi-Wan and Yoda are the only ones recognised at the moment. Surely others existed too.

So keep reading this if you wish to know more about Raya Black. Her origin story and her fate. Even the adventures she went on. Whether they were alone or with her Padwan. I can assure you, you wont regret learning the name of Raya Black and her story will stick with you. Just like the story of my grandfather has stuck with so many others. All they are for different reasons than Raya's. One more thing before you go. Do you know of the Black Kyber Crystal? If you do then you will know of its guardian if you don't then the life of Raya Black will clue you in on it.

Goodbye for now. This is Kylo Ren of the First Order signing off.
