Summary
monition : turn back SPOILERS for Star Wars : The High Republic # 5!Throughout theStar Warsfranchise , one of the most tried and true tropes is that of thefallen Jedi turned Sith . Whenever a Jedi stops being a Jedi , more often than not , they turn to the dark-skinned side . This was true with Count Dooku , Kylo Ren , and - of course - Anakin Skywalker . However , this was n’t the showcase withStar Wars ’ latest fallen Jedi , thereby breaking the franchise ’s ‘ Sith subversion ’ cliché .
In a preview forStar Wars : The High Republic#5 by Cavan Scott , Ario Anindito , and Marika Cresta , Jedi Master Kreeve Trennis has ventured into the Nihil Occlusion Zonein search of her former maestro , Sskeer . Trennis is accompany by the gang of the Atraxia , as Trennis needs their smuggling expertness to traverse this severe territorial dominion in the galaxy . However , once they get to where they ’re going , it could be argued that nowhere else in the cosmos is more dangerous .
Trennis finds Master Sskeer in a dour cave on an even dreary Earth , though he ’s not the same Trandoshan Trennis once knew . Trennis was practically raised by Sskeer , who taught her everything she knew about being not only a Jedi , but a skilful person . But now , Sskeer was reduced to an animalistic brute , siss at his former Padawan as she approach him before set up into a full - scale fire . However , while animalistic , Sskeer sure as shooting was n’t mindless , as he still display a command of lightsaber combat .
Grand Admiral Thrawn recently proved that he ’s smarter than Darth Vader while on their shared commission , but even still , Thrawn has one limit .
Sskeer is a Fallen Jedi who Became a Feral Predator, Not a Sith
While he ’s sure as shooting not using the Force for good , Sskeer is n’t exactly using it for evil , either . After losing his mind , Sskeer simply reverted to his most canonic inherent aptitude , living in the state of nature and pull through off the land as a ferine beast . However , that should n’t suggest that he ’s forgotten all his Jedi training , as lightsaber fight has ostensibly become an instinctual method of attack and defense , even in Sskeer ’s central state .
Star Warsfans are seeing Sskeer in an belligerent light , as he ’s being approached by two people that his animalistic judgment does n’t register as friendly . However , if one were to take a step back and look at Sskeer through the lense of the Living Force , then he exists in accordance with the lifelike law - more so than even a Jedi . Sith actively violate the laws of nature , and Jedi seek to lead nature ’s hired man towards order . But nature is chaos , it ’s unintrusive , it ’s unsubdivided - and Sskeer has reverted to such a life in this preview .
Sskeer is an Extreme Version of Another Famous Fallen Jedi: Ahsoka Tano
Star Wars: The Clone Warsseason 5, episode 20 “The Wrong Jedi”
Sskeer is a fallen Jedi because he lost his brain and became a feral beast who know as all beasts do : one with nature . He is violent , to be certain , but only so as to survive , and never for reasons that would align with the Jedi or the Sith . In many ways , Sskeer is an uttermost exemplar of another famous flow Jedi : Ahsoka Tano . While she continued using a lightsaber and the Force to hold out in the world , Ahsoka was no longer a Jedi by the end ofThe Clone Wars- and she also did n’t fall to the Sith .
Sskeer , like Ahsoka , is one of the rarefied few who stopped being a Jedi without turn outwardly to the dark side . Count Dooku became a Sith , Kylo Ren accept the dark side , and Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader when they turned away from the Jedi Order . However , Sskeer became something much more in - line with dead on target balance in the Force , even if he did fall back who he used to be in the appendage . By doing so , Star Wars ’ raw fallen Jedi breaks from the franchise ’s ‘ Sith Corruption ’ cliché .
