I, Jedi 5-8

Wedge drives like a maniac across Coruscant and we get some glimpses of the Imperial Palace (tacky!!!), as well as the successful Force-based therapy practice Luke Skywalker could have run if he wasn't so obsessed with being a Jedi Master. He and Wedge agree: the way to get Mirax back is for Corran to become a Jedi. Corran isn't totally convinced until he listens to an old voice mail from his dead dad. Before he leaves for Yavin, he starts running a couple two three five k's a day just to make sure he can win at Jedi on day one. And he has lunch with his old friend Iella, who helps him dye his hair, drops some hot goss about the Invids, and gently reminds him that he's a highly competitive, overly analytical maniac who just signed up for a master's degree in how to be in touch with his emotions. As patrons have warned in the chat, a tidal wave of misogyny and sexy baby pirate baddie is coming down the pike, so we will cherish Corran's entirely platonic lunch with a female friend who is written like a real person (and a person who has been to therapy!) while we have it. Despite Iella's warning, Corran is still shocked to arrive on Yavin and learn that Luke's plan for him is not to do jungle work outs and spy on his fellow students, but rather to not worry about what time it is and feel feelings. What is this hippie bullcrap! Plus, some light Andor chat.
