Reva Did Nothing Wrong 2026

Obviously there’s the whole thing in A New Hope where Luke’s arc and future is defined by two (at that point) metaphorical Fathers, the Good Father in Obi-Wan and the Bad Father in Vader. That’s as explicit as it gets, this idea that a boy’s coming of age must be defined by a patriarch to Guide Their Path in some way, and the patriarch must fit into the idea of the nuclear father (hence why Owen, only referred to as an uncle, is completely discounted in the conversation)

And then there’s the fact that almost every major sw spinoff of the past twenty years has been focused on patriarch-child relationships: Obi-Wan and Anakin with Ahsoka in TCW, Kanan with Ezra in Rebels, Din Djarin with Grogu (this one is most egregious imo, because it was originally written for Din to be a sort of temporary foster-father attempting to return Grogu to the Jedi, who had a more communal child-raising tradition for younglings, before it was abruptly rewritten into fitting the mold of nuclear fatherhood) in the Mandalorian, Hunter with Omega in TBB, Sol with Osha in The Acolyte, Anakin with Ahsoka again in the Ahsoka show, Maul with Devon in Shadow Lord, and even Andor, which originally seemed to buck this trend, made Luthen and Kleya’s relationship explicitly paternal in season 2. There’s this constant focus on centering some approximation of fatherhood to the exclusion of all other character dynamics, an obsession with an older man training/raising a child into adulthood that almost all modern canon shares

And then there’s the way this has taken root in the fandom, where an incredibly common take is that the reason Anakin committed multiple genocides and became a fascist is that he didn’t have a proper father figure. If only Qui-Gon had lived, he could have taught Anakin the Necessary Male Lessons that could have saved him! The fandom writes essays on the Paternal Relationship That Never Was between Qui-Gon and Anakin, and ignores Shmi’s impact on Anakin almost entirely. No Order 66 AUs focus almost unilaterally on Anakin raising/training Luke and Leia, with Padmé in the background at best; Sequels rewrites will discuss at length how Han and/or Luke’s relationship(s) with Kylo should have developed with nary a mention of Leia; Kanan’s scenes with Ezra and Sabine are continuously analyzed and reanalyzed while Hera’s scenes with them are largely ignored, and so on.

If a Padawan dies before having the chance to become a Knight, they are given the honour and title post mortem

Death of an Apprentice 

The death of a padawan is considered a tragedy. A bereft master will return to the temple as soon as possible after completing their duties. If on an extended mission, the Jedi auxiliary medical corps may be sent to retrieve the body. Upon return to the temple, the funeral is held. For the master, this is a time of deep reflection and self-searching. No blame is innately laid on them - the Force moves as it wills - but it remains their responsibility to understand why things happened as they did, and what part they played in them.

After the death of an apprentice, a ten-month period is cursory before the master may consider taking on another padawan, to allow for the wound left by a severed training bond to heal. Some masters choose to don a white cloak during this time, signifying that they are in mourning.

Another common observance is that of a posthumous knighting, usually done before the funeral; The apprentice's braid is cut, and altered vows of Knighthood spoken. Though departed, the apprentice is symbolically elevated to the status of knight, honoring their sacrifice and their service.

Alternate version with speech bubbles:

Masculinity is a social pact that reproduces itself via violent enforcement and reinforcement between men and you should not be giving them any more victim-members or treating it as the natural way of the world.
