A Star Wars Jedi you relate too

Definitely Obi Wan. Especially in Episodes I and II. He is sort of an ideal Jedi to me. Always calm and peaceful, with a sense of humor, that´s how I - try - to be.

How times change you. Used to identify with Plo Koon, and still do to a degree... But Ahsoka more closely aligns with my Path.

A hot-headed newbie Jedi, becoming a bit of a firebrand during apprenticeship... But eventually levelling out, holding one's own, and becoming all the better a Jedi for it.

Also reverse grip Mastery FTW! ;p

I'd be very happy if I was someday compared to Qui-Gon Jin.

As a great Master once described in this thread:

Who I was -- Anakin from Episode 2: Whiny, Too big for his britches, Bites off more than he can chew and blames everyone for what happens and takes no responsibility for himself.

Who I am now -- Mace Windu: Experience has brought wisdom, anger is still the biggest threat but learning how to control it and use it towards something good, a Gray Jedi who is in Balance.

Who I hope I become -- Qui Gon Jinn: Still a Gray Jedi like Mace but has learned to overcome his anger and doubts. Like any great Jedi he has his own issues still since no one is perfect but he listens to Yoda faithfully but still commits to his own choices for what he believes is right and in Balance with the Force.

Who I wish I could be -- Yoda: If you can be anyone, always be Yoda.

Eh, I can't say as I feel a strong similiarity to any of the Jedi characters. They're all a bit...too extreme.

I'm more of a chewie - mostly competent comic relief, dragged along on asinine adventures (because really, what else am I going to do?) and a few anger management problems.

all I really want is to get paid, and have some time off to spend with a cute Askajian and some Regellian draught.

(and if I'm not careful, my speech sounds like garbled nonsense, so there's that)

So I was thinking about this a lot because like James I kinda also don't feel a strong character connection.

But in very loose terms I would say I want to be OB1 from A New Hope. Now I need you to think of it like this. You have only seen A New Hope as the perspective. So, here's this old dude lives in the desert you don't know much about him. He will all reply to all the questions you ask, he might show you some cool things, he won't lie to you but he will test your perceptions. I kind of just have to trust him on somethings but he does some tough things through the plot, in the end though he knows there is something deeper, and he does the craziest thing (takes light-saber to death) because that deeper thing doesn't end with him. He delivers a message when it needs to be after only a moments clear contemplation after a chaotic series of events. That's not the last thing he does either, he ends up passing on the message to Luke during the Death Star scene from just a different point of view (dead but use it metaphorically). Now that is the me I would like to be. Am I there no and the path in between is not quite what you would cannon like at all........but in the end if you know only this set of guidelines you see a man who has learned the most from his experiences and sees what they have summed up in order to be of help those to in need. Once i get there I'll let you know.

Much Love Respect and Peace,
Kobos

Just from what I've read about her on Wookieepedia, I think Mara Jade would probably be the character I most identify with. She's got a complicated past, she picks things up quickly, can read a situation and respond, she's driven and craves a true challenge, she's got serious long term health things (at least for a while she did).

She's a satin sofa surrounded by razorwire walls.

The Jedi that I most relate to in Legends is Leia Organa. I like how she melded the Jedi path with the life of public service she had before beginning her training. I’m a great admirer of the Consular in fiction, as their experiences align the most with my interests.

Jedi Master Arryn Kai, or Kreia.. her drive to look beyond limits and to understand wholly is a drive I feel leads to a life "awash with possibilities"..

I couldn't agree more. It's a shame so much of her character was cut from the game (rushed by lucasfilm), where she ends as as a force-hating bitter old sith. Her existentialism-heavy philosophy is why I ever bothered with jediism and identify with the shadow path.

I wasn't aware of how much her character influenced me growing up. Not until now as an 29 y/o.. Looking back though, I wish I had really understood the depth of it all then. Instead of just now really grasping it..

The idea to challenge ideas, codes, creeds, philosophies, etc. Not to be contrarian, but to sharpen my own mind. To improve what is useful and discard what is worthless. Even if that discarded piece is a deep rooted belief. Such as religious dogma or cultural stereotypes.. it would have given me stronger purpose and focus in my rebellious years. I rebelled for my own freedom, but didn't really know how to improve myself.. I had ideas, but I was never fully planted in them. So eventually I was easily lead back astray by my own guilt and the dogma of others.. My mind made me weak, where at one point it was my greatest strength..

Luke Skywalker,because my head is always in the clouds,I have always studied crystals and stones but I have a new one since March,Black Tektite-, supposed to be created from a Meteorite crash,but I noticed that I am more aware of everything now,it stays in my pocket everyday,I recommend you guys looking this stone up,Wonderful properties. May the Force be with Us All

I am ignorant in regards to Legends, something I'm just now getting into, but I would say probably Luke mostly because he doesn't 100% shut away his emotions, but rather he uses them to his advantage without letting them overtake him, something I personally aspire to accomplish myself.

Obi Wan.
I don't know why,but all of my friends tell me that
And he's my favorite!

I'm not as familiar with the SW franchise as many others are here, but I would say my two that I would most relate to would be Obi-wan and Luke Skywalker. One for their calm disposition and the other for their head-in-the-clouds approach to things yet remaining firmly on the ground.

This seems like a rather dated thread to revive, however;

As far as the fiction is concerned, I would say Darth Vectivus. I know not a Jedi per-se, however he served as a contrast to run-of-the-mill Sith in that he did "no evil". His use of the dark side focused almost exclusively on business and economic development, therein building up his community and attached society.

At this stage in my life, with my outlook on things, I think I most identify as a mix of Jolee Bindo and Revan. What some people might call a "Grey Jedi". I feel as though if Jedi are conduits of the "force", and the force flows through everything, then we as Jedi are conduits of both light and dark.

I share a bit of Jolee's orneriness, and I share Revan's view of using the light and the dark to further the greater good. But unlike Jolee, I don't believe that people should hide themselves away from reality and social responsibilities. Also, unlike Revan, I don't think that in pursuing the greater good the ends always justify the means.

I'd like to be like Qui-Gon someday. Goals, but not where I'm at right now.

Currently I identify a lot with Kanan Jarrus. I relate to:

• Having to find his own meaning of knighthood and not knowing if it would really be enough for the Order
• Being called to teach someone younger, having no formal group to back him up and feeling overwhelmed, but eventually finding a way
• Wishing for the authority figures he grew up with and feeling disconnected
• Being a bit dramatic in general
• Getting short with others when his authority is called into question
• Feeling responsible for the little group he calls family
• Dealing with an inherited war

Trying to fall asleep I suddenly realized I code-switched in the middle of the post above. I am not military and never have been, War in this instance was metaphorical. I apologize if this caused any confusion.

Similarly with the thing about the Order having to do with knights of old and traditional teachings. I'm not trying to assume some rank here, in an actual Order I had no idea existed until recently.

Revan and Qui-Gon.

Revan for his flexibility and "yes, but..."-answers. He kinda sees things as a whole and often think outside of the box, including visionary perspectives.

Qui-Gon because of his relation with "The Living Force" and his followingly more dynamic and pragmatic relation to the doctrines. I think he presents what the Jedi Order was supposed to be... In which I personally believe would have lead to less fall to the Dark Side than the more static and inflexible Jedi Order in the prequels. Qui-Gon was kind of a reformer, like Martin Luther was to the Catholic Church, with his "get back to the basics"-mindset.
