Fandom High School

"Holo day!"

No, Aphra wasn't going to explain how the hot women doing fun crime movie related to being a Jedi, but trust her it did.

Aphra had her students meet her in the park today.

"Hope you all remembered to bring your laser swords, because we're about to embark on our next step towards being a Jedi, learning philosophy while hitting each other with with glowing sticks!"

You say kata, she says something completely different...

"More specifically, you're going to learn about the Jedi Code, and because the Jedi were around a few thousand years, boy have people had a bunch of different opnions on it."

"So pair up and start hitting."

"I wanted to do something a little special for your final, so I figured out a way for you to get a little taste of what it's actually like to be a Jedi," Aphra said, gesturing grandly behind her.

At a bouncy castle. It was space unicorn themed.

"Enjoy!"

Aphra seemed less and cheerful today. "So one important part of Jedi-ing was conflict resolution and diplomacy, though apparently some of them were better at it than others." Remarkably that was not a deliberate shade at anyone in the class.

"So today you're going to figure out the most Jedi way of resolving a conflict where two hacks ripped off your intellectual property because they couldn't come up with their own class."

When her class arrived at the park, Aphra sat on a mat on the ground with her eyes closed next to a sign that read.

Do Not Disturb

Important Jedi Meditation in Progress

Sit down and become One With The Force.

Occasionally a faint, rhythmic noise came out of her mouth. It was totally a meditation mantra and not snoring.

Aphra had everyone meet in the park, where the picnic benches had been covered in tools and various bits of mechanical junk.

"Welcome to class, kids," Aphra greeted them cheerfully. "You're all here because you want to be a Jedi, or because there was a terrible datawork error. So for you guys I'll just explain what a Jedi is."

She then launched into an abbreviated but not actually terrible explanation of the Jedi. "...then about twenty years ago, they all got genocided by the Empire, and knowledge of them, as well as most of the other Force worshipping religions was pretty much banned or eradicated. But turns out some of us have parents who are simultaneously dumb enough to go for the whole forbidden knowledge thing and somehow smart enough to avoid being purged for it, so luckily I can teach you all the important parts of Jedi-ing."

Didn't you all feel so very lucky, class? Or possibly somehow responsible?

"Starting with the most important! Well, technically that's meditation so you can become one with the galaxy, but then we'd actually have to meditate, so we're going with the second most important, building a lightsaber! I mean not real ones, because if I had the components you'd need for those, I would not be teaching this summer, or ever again, they are worth that kind of credits, and also real lightsabers are kind of dangerous, someone might lose a limb."

Which everyone would agree would be terrible, right.

"These are going to be more like giant glowsticks you can hit each other with. Fun, right?"
