Hey fans, just a quick wrap up on the recent third chapter to the new series: Star Wars Jedi Trials! Before I begin, let me warn you before hand that this post CONTAINS SPOILERS! So I'll give you three seconds to stop reading this so 3...2...1...awesome, so Yoda declares Keegan Jinnar an average Jedi due to his lack of skills, Master Reep is a member of a Dark Jedi group working for someone or something called The Trinity, all the while Master Coleman Trebor seems to have peeked an interest for the young Keegan. Now we're going to get into more detail on what exactly went on, as well as giving out a few points in the chapter that you may have missed. This new section of photonovelempire.blogspot.com is going to follow every photonovel post on this site in the future, we're calling this.....:

TALKING STAR WARS

Back to the begining, here is Keegan Jinnar. We find him walking around the Jedi Temple...WAY past his bedtime, and he's pondering over his destiny. He doesn't know and he doesn't understand why he's there and why he exists, just then he overhears Master Yoda and Master Snowl going over the many different youngling clans. After several seconds of this, Masters Snowl and Yoda begin to roast Keegan about his overall average character. Master Snowl also mentions that he doubts the Three Stones of Persilis won't accept him. What the heck is the Three Stones of Persilis? And what a downer on Keegan's self-esteem! I looked it up on the wiki and there's no such thing as the Jedi relating to the Jedi in any way! After the two Masters finish insulting the youngling, and disappearing around the corners of the temple Keegan steps out of the shadows and devotes himself to becoming a better Jedi. 


I actually really like this pic right here, I asked Zen Utaru about this particular shot and Zen said that this shot of Keegan rising from the shadows of the corner he was hiding behind symbolized Keegan finally becoming and showing who he is: a determined young boy who is willing to create his destiny. 

The following day, Keegan sneaked into a debriefing meeting and decided to go with Master Snowl and his former apprentice to the under levels of Coruscant. Keegan was surprised to find that the two Jedi stowed away into an abandoned room in the Jedi Temple where four other Jedi were waiting for this. It was here that they spoke about a meeting with who they called the Trinity. They also said that the Trinity found a temple in the outer rim territories on an abandoned moon. It is also important to note that one of these Jedi mentioned that "they" as the Trinity found the temple. So we now know for sure that "The Trinity" isn't a person, it's in fact, a group of some sort. Keegan, this entire time, is listening to the conversation, as the Jedi plot to commit a crime, frame the council, causing other Jedi to join their cause. Shocked, Keegan runs away only to be confronted by Kala Mly Shundi, who ends up helping Keegan explain the situation to the Council. Upon informing them, Master Yoda decides to confront these Dark Jedi, as Yoda chose to call them. Reaching the same abandoned room, Yoda finds only one of the Dark Jedi waiting for him. It wasn't long before Yoda and the Dark Jedi, named Reep fell into a light saber duel. 

Now isn't this guy familiar?! I asked Zen about this, and he says that yes, they are in fact, the same people. The picture of Master Reep on the top is from Chapter 3, and the picture on the bottom is from Chapter 2! The Dark Jedi's name is Reep, the mechanical engineering teacher! Looks like they'll be needing a substitute!

   
   Something else that interested me is the picture below. I really like how Zen wrote this picture symbolizing the two Jedi in one room, yet one is light and dark. Neither can be in the same room, and this ended with Reep's dismemberment. 


Just before the end of the light saber duel, Yoda is actually wounded after the explosion caused by Reep's light saber. Before the explosion, Reep said that before the "war" he worked on explosives. My question is which war? exploring the wiki I discovered that the war was actually the               Jedi-Zygerrian Conflict, which he must have participated years prior to this moment. 

After the explosion, Yoda was wounded by the blast, and Reep was mortally wounded. In two days Yoda was 100% due to their bacta supply..... SCREW JEDI HEALERS! After that, Yoda spoke to Keegan stating that the six Dark Jedi that had disappeared, save the Dark Jedi Yoda blew to pieces, were not going to be the only ones to leave. Before walking away, Yoda said that the Council decided to call the six Jedi the "Lost Six"...........um.......well, see....by the time we reach Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, it's the Lost "Twenty". Don't believe me? Look at the pic below.

The Lost Twenty were memorialized with bronzium busts in the First Hall of the Jedi Temple.
"Only twenty Jedi have ever left the Order."
"The Lost Twenty. And Count Dooku was the most recent and the most painful. No one likes to talk about it. His leaving was a great loss to the Order."
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jocasta Nu[src]
The Lost Twenty, originally known as The Lost, was the name given to the Jedi Masters who had voluntarily resigned their commission and left the Jedi Order over ideological differences.

Once again, Star Wars Jedi Trials is blowing our minds, whether it's Kala Mly Shundi's appearances, or this little crumb leading to the answers of the questions pertaining to the Jedi before the Phantom Menace, we always manage to get something new with Jedi Trials. 

At the end of the episode, Keegan feels like he is starting to fit in as a guardian of peace and justice in the Jedi Temple. Another good episode, Zen Utaru, good job!
