here we go

Contrary to popular belief, the Jedi didn’t start with Yoda, the Old Republic and the Jedi Council as a portion of the population believe. (Below are approximate dates)

Start date: Force is chilling out.

Before Kwa- Celestials

100,000 BBY- Kwa

Slightly after Kwa- Rakata

(some events from the above groups were happening at the same time)

36,000 BBY- Je’daii Order

10,000 BBY- Jedi Order or the Holy Order of the Jedi Knights

Luke’s Order (or as some say the New Order)

End Date: There really isn’t one.

Before the Order

Celestials are a starting point, well they’re going to be my starting point. They were also known as the architects. The Ones from Mortis (Father, Daughter and Son) were said to be related to the Celestials. The Celestials though could restructure and form new matter through the force. They are known in the galaxy for creating the Corellian System, Vulter System, Hapes Cluster, Maw Cluster, and the Kathol Rift. Centerpoint station, or the tractorbeam that could pulll planets around was also created by them. All races were considered slaves to the celestials, since there isn’t much information on this species we don’t know if this was voluntary or involuntary at the begining. They were called Client races so its a little iffy. It was said that the Celestials were higher force guided events in the galaxy. Eventually the Rakata uprised against the celestials after stealing the Kwa’s technology killing them. Some say that Abeloth or the Bringer of Choas may have caused there demise.

The force is the begining of all users no matter what form they take. The Kwa were a species from Dathomir. They created infinity gates that allowed them to transport interstellerly to other places. Star temples were created around teh gates to protect them from unwanted visitors. The gates were inspired by the Celestials. The ones are supposedly related to the celestials. The Celestials though could restructure and form new matter through the force. They are known in the galaxy for creating the Corellian System, Vulter System, Hapes Cluster, Maw Cluster, and the Kathol Rift. The Kwa eventually used a gate to go to Lehon, the home of the Rakata. They sensed the Rakata were strong with the force and trained them or tried to. The Rakata turned on the Kwa and went to war. Eventually the Kwa, defeated would retreat back to Dathomir or Tython. The ones who returned to Dathomir physically devovled into the Kwi. (Think of blue from Jurassic World.) They were also known as the Blue Desert/Mountain People.

The Rakata were a cannabalistic evil race that didn’t want anything to do with the light. They relied on the dark side and turned on the Kwa, creating their Infinite Empire which was the first real govenrment. You may not have heard their name before but you surely know of Star Forge. It’s the biggest shipyard created by the Rakata in 30,000 BBY. It channeled the dark side and produced ships and weapons for the empire. This structure was built the only way everything else was built, through slave labor. The Rakata used the force as a hyperdrive to travel. Using this technology they reached over 500 planets that held force sensitives. (Hyperdrives weren’t invented yet, this was a precursor to the hyperdrive.) We wouldn’t see a man made one untill 25, 053 BBY. By 25,200 BBY the Rakata Empire was no more, they broke out in civil war causing their own demise. What’s worse is, they began to lose their force connection from a mutation during a plauge that killed almost all of the species itself. The Rakata that were left returned to Lehon where they broke out into another civil war, killing almost everyone. Those left alive spilt into various tribes and devolved mentally, retreating underground. They could no longer use their own technology because of their past reliance on the force. One tribe called the Elders remained intact and on the surface. They wanted to cleanse their history by destroying the Star Forge. They also no longer had the force but with the timely arrived of Revan they thought they could destroy it. This was 3959 BBY For many years it wasn’t destroyed and Revan used it to basically start the Jedi Civil War. Once Revan was redeemed he allowd the Galactic Republic to destroy the Forge.

The Rakata is always remembered for their military and technology feats. Planetary archaelogy and xenoanthropology professors were fascinated with the species because they changed the galaxy. Only a few groups survived and many ruins where they once held dominion.

Other species at this time: Celestials, Sith, Duros, Killiks, Sharu, Hutts, Columi, Taung, and Humans. Note: The Sith here aren’t what we know them today. They were a species from Korriban. They did have a predisposition to the dark side of the force and eventually an empire before being ruled by Dark Lords aka how we know them now.

Old Order

I think the best starting point here is Tython.The force was always there and many species including the Gree, Kwa and the Rakata vistied the planet. The Tho Yor, a class of 9 triangluar shaped ships brought various species to the planet. These ships came from Ando Prime, Manaan, Kashyyyk, Dathomir and Ryloth. There is no indication who sent the ships. All the species that migrated to Tython established the Je’daii Order. They based their teaching on balance from Tython’s two moon Bogan and Ashla. Eventually Tython itself became unsafe for non force users and the people known as the Tythans spread other worlds of the Tython system.

They also established a code of conduct The code was: There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no fear, there is power. I am the heart of the Force. I am the revealing fire of light. I am the mystery of darkness. In balance with chaos and harmony, Immortal in the Force.  

Each ship sat at a different region of Tython and around them the different species built temples.

Regions:

Thry in the silent desert- Qigong Kesh- Temple of Advanced Force Skills

Masara- Bodhi- Temple of Arts

Kato Zakar- Stav Kesh- Temple of Martial Arts

Deep Ocean- Mahara Kesh- Temple of Healing

Talss in a Chasm- Anil Kesh- Temple of Science

East in the volcano top forges- Vur Tepe- Temple of Matallurgy, Tool and Weapon Construction- The first lightsaber dubbed the ‘first blade’ was made here but lore is very hush hush on it. We know the weapon master made it. Before this time they use metal sabers with no crystals.

South- Kaleth- Temple of Knowlege

Location unknown at this time- Padawan Kesh- for the children too young to become padawans.

Tower Monolith- Akar Kesh- Temple of Balance

There was peace for 10,000 years. In the year 25, 805 BBY The Despot Wars waged by powerful Queen Hadiya from the world of Shikaakwa to conquer the entire Tython System began. Fortunately for the Tythons, they had a sleeper agent who killed the Queen and the war ened quickly but not before there were a hundred thousand Tython casualities and a million casualties from the Despot Army, with many lost and thousands injured, tensions remained on the higher end for near a decade. Twelve years later they faced the Rakata Empire and shortly after that The Force Wars or the First Great Schism began (around 25,783 BBY.) Master Daegen Lok, the samae sleeper agent that killed Hadiya fell to the dark side after having a vision of war. The Je’daii Council exiled him but his followers didn’t agree with the with the decsison and turned against them. The force war lasted ten years and the light side prevailed. Light side and dark side users were pitted agaisnt each other. A holocron from the Kwa told the Je’daii how to weaponize the ships against the Rakata Empire Flesh raiders who are a subspecies of the Rakata inhabited the planet. They were abandodned after the Force Wars. A temple was erected near the fallen Kaleth temple and was the base for the Jedi for many years. In 25, 783 BBY there was a clataclysm that destroyed the Tython biosphere and the Ashla or light Jedi fled to Ossus 730 and established the Jedi Order or the new order, and Bogan or dark Jedi fled to the rim.

New Order

The Jedi as we know it today started on Ahch-to by the Prime Jedi. Not much is known about this Prime Jedi other than he had a cool title. In TLJ we see a mosaic on the floor of Ahch-to’s temple or tower of the Prime. The picture resembles what could be the Zeffo from Jedi Fallen Order. Ahch-to isn’t the only place the new Jedi Order stayed.Tython, Ilum, Ledeve, Vrogas Vas, Jedha, Ossus, Dantooine, Ashas Ree, Coruscant, Lothal, Devaron, and Yavin IV were home to other temples. Tython, Coruscant, Ossus and Jedha were are considered as the starting place but it was decided Ahch-to would house the first temple. Fun fact: Many Jedi temples were built on ancient Sith shrines to show that they were being cleansed of the dark side.The Jedi Order was based off of the Je’daii Order. Ilum became utilized by the Jedi so padawans could find their crystals to complete their lightsabers in a ceremony called The Gathering. (I would like to point out that Ilum is no more because it became Star Killer base. I see a lot of people talking about how Rey went to Ilum to find a crystal for her new lightsaber. Well it was turned into the First Order base, then blew up so...)

After the Force Wars the ways of the Je’daii through teachings of balance were abandoned. The Ashla Je’daii became known as the Jedi and the Bogan became known as the Sith. The Galactic Republic or the Old Republic came together with the help of the Jedi. There was peace for a long time but as always it would come to an end. Jedi Masters Cala Brin, Garon Jard, Rajivari and Ters Sendon are the ones who basically founded and ran the new order. They thought it was their duty to assist those in need and defeat dark side users. Rajivari and his followers eventually turned to the Bogan ways. During the Hundred-Year Darkness or the Second Great Schism the Sith were established. The Jedi and the Sith fought each other but the Jedi were backed by the Republic and Sith dwindled. The remaining Sith went to Korriban and Ajunta Pall became the first Dark Lord. The new temple was moved to Coruscant. This happened 5000 years BBY. The Jedi of this time fought to maintain peace and freedom. The Jedi seemed to have many conflicts with Mandalore. They attcked them quite a bit. I think their main goal was to go after the Darksaber as it was a mandalorian Jedi who constructed it. After this the Jedi-Sith War (2000 BBY) came about. Basically this was the Sith making their stand and coming back. They wanted control. This war lasted 1000 years. The sith were once again defeated and Farfalla who was the highest ranking Jedi to survive gave Galactic leadership to the people. Unkown to the Jedi and the Republic, the man once known as Dessel or as we know him Darth Bane, survived. He created the Rule of Two. I think with the Rebuilding of the temple on Coruscant we finally arrive to what we see in the Prequel Trilogy.

This was the new code:

There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no chaos; there is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force.

The Jedi were responsible for maintaining law and order, usually through mediating conflicts to bring about peaceful solutions. When this didn’t work Aggressive Negotiaions, (ty Padme for giving us the lingo!) were used. The Jedi were also responsible for various rival factions and planets as well as serving as a type of interplanetary law enforcement. They pursued wanted and dangerous criminals, pirates, and smugglers on missions. At the temple there were various stages the Jedi followed.

Jedi Initiate (Youngling,"Jedi Hopeful") a Force-sensitive child. At a very young age, children were removed from their families and assigned to the Jedi Temple for training.

Jedi Padawan – an apprentice who began serious training under a single Jedi Knight or Jedi Master. In order to graduate to Padawan status, an Initiate was required to be chosen by a Knight or Master and taken as their sole pupil. If a youngling was not chosen to be a Padawan by 13 years of age, the youngling was placed into another, lesser role in the Jedi Service Corps, or they could choose to leave the Order. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this might be the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, or the Exploration Corps. Padawans who were of a haired species typically wore a long braid of hair behind their right ear. When a Padawan was elevated to Knighthood the braid was cut during the knighting ceremony.

Jedi Knight – a disciplined Padawan could become a fully trained Jedi once they completed the trials. The known trials were, but weren't limited to: the Trial of Flesh, the Trial of Courage, the Trial of Skill and the Trial of Self (also known as facing the mirror, cough rey in TLJ cough.)

Jedi Master – a Jedi Knight who showed great understanding of the Force and managed to instruct a Padawan and train them successfully to the level of a Jedi Knight. This title could also be achieved through the performance of extraordinary deeds.

Counsellor  – A very few Jedi were invited to serve on the Jedi Council, the governing body of the Order. The Council was made up exclusively of wise, experienced Masters. The only Jedi Knight to be appointed to the High Council, Anakin Skywalker, was appointed by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, although he was not granted the rank of Master simply because of this. The Council was made up of 12 masters, five of them with life terms and two of them designated as "senior", four as long-term, and three short-term.

Grand Master – The highest rank of the Jedi Order was that of Grand Master. Yoda was once the Grand Master, as was Luke Skywalker following the Swarm War.

Enter the clone wars. I don’t think I need to talk about them since we know about it. The end obvisously is Order 66 and the rise of the Empire became real. The Return of the Jedi started with Luke as we know from the films. He was hailed as the ‘last of the Jedi’.

Western Reaches-

Inner Rim

Jakku is not known for much other than the battle of Jakku, during the Galactic Civil War. This was the battle to end all battles as the craft of the fight still litter the planet. The exports that come off the planet are old but useable ship parts.

The planet once covered in forests is now desert.

The system of Jakku is of the same name and is and inner rim planet on the western reaches. The planet sets near Jehda.

Burke's trailing hyperspace lane intersects with Jakku. It is used by smugglers and the like.

Places of Interest

Tuanul

The sacred village of Tuanul was built on a large rock mesa. The people of this village are known as the church of the force. They are non force users who follow the religion. Lor San Tekka, among others lived here. 

Cratertown

All we have at the moment is theis drawing, but hopefully in the future we get to see more of this interesting area of Jakku. Going down to Cratertown! Ergel’s Bar can be found here. Only one drink is served, Knockback Nectar! The drink was made from lichen.

Niima Outpost

Named after Niima the Hutt who lived on Jakku. This was considered the only settlement on Jakku.

An almost ariel shot of Niima Outpost kinda on fire because we can’t have nice things.

This is the gateway of Niima Outpost. The archway was taken from a Rebel ship.

The concession at Niima Outpost where Rey turns in various items she has scavenged for portions to eat. Unkar Plutt can be seen in the background at the kiosk. Fun fact, Rey refers to Unkar as blobfish.

Kelvin Ridge or the Kelvin Ravine

The ridge seperates Tuanul and basically the rest of Jakku.

Namenthe’s Crater is also visable fromt the photo. Backstory: A male scavanger with the name of Namenthe was transporting Proton Bombs and he wasn’t very careful.

Plaintive Hand plateau

This location is where Palpatine’s observatory was located. You see if Palpatine was ever killed, he had a contingency plan to destory the Galatic Empire. This wasn’t the only observatory, oh no there were quite a few. Various artifacts were held at the Jakku Observatory. He also belived that at the core of Jakku held a life essence. This was around 30 BBY. As the Galatic Civil War waged Gallius Rax, a boy who grew up on Jakku and used to guard the observtory was tasked to admisister the contingency plan but failed to do so when he was stopped by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, Norra Wexley and Brentin Lore Wexley.

Rey’s Life on Jakku

Rey was left by her parents on Jakku so Emperor Palpatine couldn’t find her. Her life was far from easy. Everyone on Jakku wanted to survive and our scavanger soon realized that she must as well so she could see her parents some day. Spurred on by the belief that they would come back for her little Rey makes her way in the world.

Location: Goazon Badlands Rey’s home on Jakku. A fallen AT-AT (Hellhound two) from the Battle of Jakku is seen here. Rey didn’t think she would survive in the Goazon Badlands becasue there were no forms of life, that is until she finds a small flower (Spinebarrel) miraculously growing inside the walker and makes it her home. The Goazon Badlands is where Finn and Poe crash the Tie they stole from the First Order in TFA.

Rey on her speeder driving away from wreckage of the many Star Destroyers (Could be the Inflictor) that fell during the Battle of Jakku. Rey actually built the speeder herself. Fun fact, the speeder has a finger print ID on it, that way no one could drive off with her baby.

Meeting BB-8

Here we see Rey rescuing BB from a Teedo.

The Teedo species, who don't go by names are gray/green reptilian creatures. Their language is Teedospeak. They worship the goddess R'iia. They figured the deity was angry and caused the never ending storms which created the famine and drought to the once green planet. They named the winds X’us’R’iia.

A wider shot of the geography of Jakku. It's all dune hill from here folks. Rey is seen here with BB-8 after they first meet. She lets the droid spend the night in th AT-AT with her.

Here is an up close look at the back end of a destroyer (Might be the same one) we see later in the film in The Starship Graveyard. This is one of Rey's favorite places to scavenge from.

Finn, a resistance fighter as he tells Rey, needs to get BB-8 to the Resistance base because he is carrying a partial map to Luke Skywalker. They have to get passed banditos, stormtroopers and maneuver through the fallen ships to escape First Order Tie fighters.

Rey and Finn running through Niima Outpost away from First Order stormtroopers and towards the garbage ship after not being able to aqquire a quadjumper.

What we know

Name(s): Rey, Rey Palpatine, Rey Skywalker, Rey of Sunshine(yes), Rey Solo(should’ve been her name)

Gender: Female

Age: 20′s

Description: Light skin, Dark hair, Hazel eyes, Usually has buns in her hair (Wow, I’ve just described myself. Am I rey?) Note: Rey’s signature hairstyle is three buns decending down the back of her head. In the second movie we see her hair down and in the third we see the buns back but in a different loop style. On Jakku Rey wears light cream and tan colored clothes to stay cool while working in the desert environment. She covers her form in strips of cloth which she can easily take off. Later we see her in heavier clothing due to environmental conditions on Ahch-to. In the last Jedi Rey has another costume change. I can only describe this as her fighting gear. In this film she chooses to wear gray. She has combine elements from the first two films and I think it’s her best look. In tros she goes back to the basics, but in white. All the while she carries the staff, pouch and gun from Han with her.

Fun Fact: Rey carries her side pouch everywhere she goes, but what is in it? We would assume from the first movie that she carries her googles and scarf, a knife, water canister and maybe a few other tools or a ration to eat while working. Did you know though that Rey always has a stem pak on her posession at all times?

Home world: Jakku

-Desert planet in the Western Reaches (Inner Rim)

- Since Rey lives on a desert planet, she wear lighter colors to keep the sun and sand storms at bay but enough to keep her warm at night.

- Rey lives in an old At-At from the Battle of Jakku during the Galactic Civil War.

Parents: Names unknown, but her father is Palpatine's Son. Triclops was his name and yes he had 3 eyes. From the film we can see Disney not going this way. (Fun fact: Triclops had a son, named Ken. He was also known as the Jedi Prince)

Status: Alive

Relationships:

Finn: (Best friend, Ally) The first nice human Rey meets. Force Sensitive but untrained.

Poe Dameron: (Friend, ally) On screen they don't meet until the second film, buuuut in the TFA novelization, they meet once Rey and Finn return from Starkiller Base.

Kylo Ren: (Enemy, Ally, Possible love interest) Rey shares a force bond with Kylo.

Palpatine: (Grandfather, Enemy)

Han Solo: (Parental Figure, Ally) Rey calls him a smuggler when they meet for first time.

Leia Organa: (Parental Figure,Teacher, Ally)

Luke Skywalker” (Teacher, Ally)

Chewie: (Copilot, Freind, Ally)

BB8: (Droid Companion, the ally you want on your side) Rey warms to BB easily but at one point thinks about selling him for food portions.

Background: Scavanger turned Jedi, the last Jedi, all the Jedi. Did I just sum up the whole sequel trilogy? - Scavanger from Jakku waiting for her parents to return for her, meets a cute droid carrying valuable infromation and ends up going on an adventure to help the Resistance take down the First Order.

Weapons: Lightsaber, Quaterstaff, Blaster Pistol from Han

Hobbies: Piloting Spacecraft- Her choice of ship is the Millennium Falcon which she finds on Jakku.

Connoisseur of Alien Languages- When Rey was younger she found a computer display from Y-Wing while scavaging and learned various languages and also run flight simulations. We know she can underdstand Binary and Shyriiwook.

Flower collecting: When Rey was on Jakku, she filled her AT-AT with various dried flowers to brighten up the gloomy space.
