A/N: "My friends, the Great Experiment…" –Admiral James T. Kirk in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, when the battle damaged USS Enterprise is docking and they are seeing the brand new USS Excelsior for the first time.
So, after seeing the latest Star Wars film over the Holidays/Vacation and one of my family members giving me the Women's Murder Club television series on DVD for Christmas and my reading the novel series… plus having always seen the cover image (by: trancer, posted on ), decided to try a crossover series.
Please don't expect updates as quickly as "Lupus Amicitia" series (which I'm still working on) and plus I still have a lot of Star Wars research to conduct- beyond the films, a.k.a: reading some of the novels in order to get some background knowledge both in the Jedi and the story timeline settings.
Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away…
Jedi Historian personal journal entry:
More empty records. Basic information of birth, death, and economic records of this government, along with the rest of the planet's settlement that yields no additional details of the stories spanning before the rise of the former Empire. Even the Force has remained silent regarding the possibility of hidden records in this archive. Hopefully the Force has been with my apprentice, who is searching the neighboring system and will find something more than the tales uttered from drunken tongues of pilots from the cantinas. Inebriation… give one enough of their chosen vice and they will speak of anything one desires to hear. Yet, even as jawas will occasionally scavenge items of value in the sands of Tatooine, so are tales spoken over a tankard of ale may yield value.
History… as complex as the Living Force; both Light and Dark. Each Jedi experiences the Force in a subtlety different ways because of the differences in which every living being is composed. History, too, is different according to the person viewing or speaking it. No single being will view the same moment of history in the exact same manner. Even in the most famous portion of Jedi History regarding the Skywalker Family, there is some debate even among the new Jedi Council and the Senate regarding how the Former Republic's history truly took place.
"History is a three-fold braid," my former Jedi Master, Tionne Solusar had described. "You will eventually discover that history cannot exist on official records alone. The other two branches are both family and the galaxy's own recounts of past events."
As with the Force, one must be calm, at peace with history in order to fully understand its complexity; and right now I have allowed my feelings to cloud my thoughts and judgment.
Perhaps this is indeed a futile project. Although the council did not outright proclaim it, I sensed some of them doubting the legitimacy of these spoken accounts of Jedi, (at least four) who supposedly disappeared in the Unexplored Regions of the Galaxy just before the start of the Clone Wars. There are accounts of an expedition sent to that region titled: OUTBOUND FLIGHT even among Master Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi's journals found by Luke Skywalker. While Master Kenobi and his apprentice returned from that expedition and Luke Skywalker encountering former Jedi Master C'baoth 5 years ago, nothing else can be found officially regarding the outcome of that expedition. Some of the Council believe this story of 4 Jedi disappearing into the Unexplored Regions are nothing more than myth; legendary storytelling to elevate the vanished Jedi into a status for those to wish and imagine better things during the dark times of the Empire. Perhaps it all is an imaginary tale to make those hope for something better.
However, Master Skywalker, in his great wisdom, is very reluctant to hold back any person's desire to contribute to the order's knowledge, most especially history. Ever since the fall of the Empire, Master Skywalker has encouraged, even devoted, every limited resource to the recovery of historical records of the old Jedi order and knowledge the Emperor had ordered eliminated and destroyed. Although some of the Jedi Council may not believe the story of the "Four Vanished Jedi," they did endorse our mission to this Outer Rim region to research official records of those governments willing to permit our presence along with those members of the New Senate and assist Master Tionne, who not only sits on the council, but also is the Master of the Archives. Any way I may be of service to the Jedi, is my primary mission. However, I struggle is maintaining my overall serenity and not take on personal feelings for this particular mission of the "4 Vanished Jedi."
