“You are beautiful to me…”
Mar. 11th, 2010 03:02 pmFandomsecrets today had a secret up from someone saying they vastly prefer Luke and Callista as a couple over Luke and Mara (No. 146 in this entry). I don’t see why that should be a secret, since only crazy people would disagree with that position*.
You know what I just realised is cool about Callista? She’s a Jedi from just before the rise of a Sith Empire, who returns in an era when the Jedi are extinct and knowledge their teachings all but forgotten. She survives events that should have destroyed her, but loses all connection to the Force in the process. She very quickly – some would say implausibly quickly – develops a strong bond with a fellow Force user. Her story ends with a question mark, where she went or her final fate a total mystery.
She’s the OT era version of KotOR 2’s Jedi Exile**!
* Because only crazy people have strong opinions about characters from the Star Wars EU.
** Yes, being similar to a KotOR 2 character is awesome. It's 'unpopular SW EU opinions' day, alright?
