Hey kat I tried to scroll through your blog to see if anyone already asked this question so if they did and I missed it I’m sorry. In your last chapter of trade your heart Jon was thinking about how there was only one Korun Jedi for a reason, and is that canon, or was that you? I’m asking because I’m curious and would like to know more about that. But google wasn’t telling me much.
It’s an assumption that has canon basis, if that makes sense. All Korrunai (Mace’s Human-adjacent race) are Force-sensitive, and when Mace was a child several Jedi anthropologists were on his home planet studying the Korrunai’s Force connection. Mace’s parents died in the jungle, so the Jedi asked to take him back to the Temple and raise him as a Jedi.Â
So, basically, my assumption is that since all Korrunai are already Force-sensitive, and they have a cultural structure that’s very much based around that fact, the Jedi don’t go there looking for initiates, because there’s no danger to Force-sensitive children there and likely very few of them are called to be Jedi when they already have their clans on Haruun Kal. Mace is an exception, and Korrunai Jedi are definitely not common.
