I won't necessarily follow all of these, but I like them and I might use them.

Notes on the Star Wars universe from the Re-Entry verse:

“One mention of Rhen’s would be normal. But…there was a lot. I started looking into the Rhen’s Disease mortality rates just by trading group—which is not easy. There’s the At’talr, who got scattered almost eleven years ago by unknown means. There’s the Kay’dal, the Yellowstars, the Brin Wir, the Q’in-dah-lal, the Sunrunners, the Walkers of the Sky—”

another trader name: Starseer

Even knowing that Sima’laicee Tanno’baijii was an innocent phrase didn’t help, not the way Obi-Wan was saying it. Peacekeeper married to the Jedi, indeed.

from Parallel Processing: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30324387

MedCorps healers are trained to remove beds and blankets used by dead and dying patients and either spiritually cleanse or physically destroy them because of psychological effects on Force-sensitives, but in the brief time Obi-Wan had visited the Negotiator's medbay, it was pretty clear that they had not been taught that practice--death and pain had lingered in the air like miasma, as it does in many medical spaces. He hadn't realized Master Kenobi used those same spaces for personal treatment. Obi-Wan had simply assumed that there would be a separate area for Force-sensitives, but with so many soldiers and only one Jedi, it would probably be a little difficult to justify what a layperson would see as preferential treatment.

From No Absolutes: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31899376

I'm certain I have not had the pleasure of walking with the Master of the Order since Iola Niktra was the head of the High Council. It is stunning what you have done with it."

From Patience: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39513192

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

The Jedi Code

From the bleeding tooth (https://archiveofourown.org/works/40166649):

Yes, Qui-Gon has a rather high midicholorian-count, which everyone knew even with an official test conducted because bumping into the kid is like walking over a lit firework. However, besides this, Qui-Gon is extremely, enormously, relentlessly normal.

He’s not particularly wise like some Force-Sensitive children are; he doesn’t have a cryptic manner of speaking. He doesn’t experience flurries of visions or try to choke anyone who crosses him. He has yet to crush things or stare into people’s very souls in eerie silence. For all intents and purposes, Qui is actually the crèche’s outlier for two things: he is normal, and he likes beyond anything else in the world to have clean hands.

--

Dooku has been trained on how to manage overdoses as a first responder; it is in the first-aid classes that padawans take and that, every three years, knights and masters must take to refresh their minds and credentials or else be badgered into oblivion by the healers downstairs.

--

Days later, Qui-Gon becomes Feemor’s master. Everyone says he’s not old enough. Usually, masters are three times their padawans’ ages at the least but Qui-Gon is twenty-five years old and Feemor is almost thirteen. It’s too small of a gap, but Qui-Gon says ‘fuck ‘em,’ and Feemor giggles and says ‘fuck ‘em,’ too.

“May wishes become dreams become futures,” Qui-Gon says.

“A feeling is a feeling,” Qui-Gon says. “It is not how we feel, but how we act upon it that speaks to one’s character.”

From Reprise I (https://archiveofourown.org/works/5201648)

The salute Obi-Wan chose to be his last was a youngling's pose. A simple Shii-Cho stance, one of the very first he'd ever been taught in the diminutive Dragon Clan, so many, many years ago.

From back then, i was dauntless

On Melida/Daan:

It becomes a habit to sleep back-to-back with one of the others, so all entrances are covered. The gnawing hunger in his stomach eventually fades into a dull ache that is easy to ignore even as his skin stretches ever tighter across his ribs.

Jaesh, his father asked, why do you stay?

I must help them, Jaesh said. If I leave they will be crushed.

Why must you be the one who holds the sky? his father asked.

Will you help me hold the sky? Jaesh asked.

And his father said no, I have work elsewhere, so Jaesh stayed.

Jaesh, his mother asked, why do you stay?

I must help them, Jaesh said. If I leave they will be crushed.

Why must you be the one who holds the sky? his mother asked.

Will you help me hold the sky? Jaesh asked.

And his mother said no, they should do it on their own, so Jaesh stayed.

Jaesh, his brother asked, why do you stay?

I must help them, Jaesh said. If I leave they will be crushed.

Why must you be the one who holds the sky? his brother asked.

Will you help me hold the sky? Jaesh asked.

And his brother said no, they will not know my name, so Jaesh stayed.

Jaesh, the Force asked, why do you stay?

I must help them, Jaesh said. If I leave they will be crushed.

Why must you be the one who holds the sky? the Force asked.

Will you help me hold the sky? Jaesh asked.

And the Force said yes.

Edit, 4/30/24: Here are some things I found that should've been posted earlier:



===

Kenobi, sitting in front of Boil and Waxer in the mess, his eyes bright-

“-there are some translations you will need to be careful with, though. For example, crossing over both lekku tips twice means, “I love you-" more familial. But-”

He crosses his arms. “Intersecting in the middle of the forearms is the appropriate cross-species translation. Intersecting at the wrists, though, means, ‘May spice salt your wounds.’ A rather grievous insult.”

From The Queen Does Not Need to Know:

"I have told you that each person must interpret the Jedi Code on their own or it ceases to be a living pact. Every individual must come to understand why a thing is true or untrue. Belief, especially blind belief means little in the end. Because it isn't the doctrine that will help you when your world is turned upside down, it is the substance, the spirit of the code that will serve you."

From Loyalty resonating in the silence (https://archiveofourown.org/works/32528635):

It was not often that Quinlan voluntarily made the trip to the Archives. Most of his mission-related research came through the shadows’ office, with rather detailed briefs included and what he missed, he usually accessed remotely. Alas, it was not for a book that he went there today either, rather to join the political science club’s meeting that happened every week in one of the conference areas.

The group mainly consisted of senior padawans aiming for service as a consular later on and young knights just starting out in that career, with a frequent rotation of guest speakers of more experienced Jedi discussing their missions. Quinlan himself had attended every now and then before he had embraced his calling with the shadows more fully as a padawan, but he knew that Obi-Wan had been a dedicated member during his padawan years and was one of the most sought after visitors now.

Everyone greeted him friendly enough, there were about thirty Jedi already present when he slipped into the room and by the time he had spoken with the moderator of today’s session to make a request to address the group, the numbers had swelled further.

"Solah" said to admit defeat in a lightsaber spar/duel

Since he had expected such an outcome, he had also gone ahead and recruited some brainpower for the Jedi PR. He had approached the Media Club first, and then brought them into contact with the Galactic Diplomacy Society and the Interspecies-Relations Thinktank. Over the last couple of weeks, they had developed at least ten different concepts, approaching several branches of the wider Jedi Order for ideas and contributions for ideas and had even pulled outside contacts specialising in branding, marketing and communications.

--

The Marshall Commander stepped forward just a bit and straightened even more. “The Vod’e want to be more than soldiers in this war, we have a vision for beyond it. We believe in what the Jedi do, therefore I hereby petition for the amalgamation of our people with the Jedi Order and the formation of a Vod’e Corps as the sixth pillar besides the Knight-, Edu-, Med-, Agri- and Explora-Corps.” Cody’s voice was strong and confident, left and right to him Fox and Hanni looked equally determined.

From Of Knights and Brothers (https://archiveofourown.org/works/32521612):

“You’re right, Obi-Wan, and very smart to suggest meditation. I have been trying to do that but I haven’t yet been able to focus my mind.” Feemor extended both of his hands toward Obi-Wan, palms up. “Would you help guide me in my meditation?”

Obi-Wan’s widened in obvious recognition of the gesture, which was most often offered between equals or toward one with greater wisdom. The child scrambled hastily up to his knees to mirror Feemor’s stance. He placed his tiny palms atop Feemor’s with far too much solemnity for one so small. “I would be honored to be your guide,” he offered the traditional response.
