Jedi High Council members as of 40 BBY:

FULLY CONFIRMABLE (7) Yoda (it's Yoda) Oppo Rancisis (has been there since 232 BBY, still present 32 BBY) Yarael Poof (see above) Eeth Koth (on the Council before Windu according to one source, appointed by 40 BBY according to Wookiepedia) Plo Koon (took over for after Master Tyvokka 44 BBY) Mace Windu (replaced Master Katri at 28, born 72 BBY, joined 44 BBY) Poli Dapatian (can confirm canonically on council at the latest of 41 BBY) PRESUMED (4) Yaddle (presumed due to age and lack of full rosters for prior years) Micah Giiett (died 33 BBY, was a Councilor up to that point, presumed on it for the 7+ years beforehand) Sifo-Dyas (no known join date that I could find, kicked off 33 BBY, presumed on it for the 7+ years beforehand) Saesee Tiin (stark hyperspace war veteran. nothing concrete other than that according to my notes :/) CAN SWITCH BETWEEN ANY (1+) Jor Aerith (died during Order 66 but was not on the Council during the Clone Wars as far as we know. Presumably she retired) Gretz Droom (Jor's padawan. Also not known to be on the Council during the Clone Wars but was a Council member at one point. Presumably retired) Tera Sinube (retired during the 40s. We don't know when exactly, but unlikely it was 40 BBY exactly. I just included him because I forgot about him entirely while trying to work out earlier rosters :/) Even Piell (ehhhhhh this one's iffy. He's definitely on it during TPM but nothing points to him being there before that but TPM takes place 32 BBY and Sifo-Dyas and Micah Giiett made the PRESUMED category so he's here too :/) Adi Gallia (see above) and there you go. all 12(+) Council members during the year 40 BBY

Grand Army of the Republic Structure

So, looking at how the GAR is structured, there would be about 512 battalions total throughout all 10 system armies. (I can go into that later)

We know of (canon) 15.

Let me know if I missed any, here's the list:

21st Nova corp (wait, is that a battalion or a Corp in the structure? idk.) led by Ki-Adi-Mundi and CC Bacara

13th (the Iron Battalion) led by Jaro Tapal and Cal Kestis

41st Scout let by Luminara and/or Yoda, and CC Gree

104th (The Wolfpack) led by Plo Koon and CC Wolffe

187th led by Mace Windu and CC Ponds (I thought they were the 91st?)

612th led by Polla Royal and CC Granch (I'm assuming that's a CC)

Combat Engineer (I don't know either) let by Sergeant Gaffa

212th led by Kenobi and CC Cody

501st led by Skywalker, CT Rex, and Ahsoka Tano

332nd, which is an off shoot of the 501st, lead by CC Rex and Tano

(Carnivore is also a sub group of 501st, but I'm unsure if it is big enough to count as it's own battalion)

442nd, also led by Plo Koon at some point, and CC Verd

327th lead by Aayla Secura and CC Bly

184th led by Jor Aerith and CC Crane (again, guessing if a CC)

Rancor Battalion, lead by Shaak Ti and the Rancor ARC CCs

Coruscant Guard, which has no Jedi and is led mainly by CC Fox

Honorary member, but technically part of 212th, is Clone Force 99, lead by CT Hunter.

So that's roughly 15. Out of 512.

Good thing we fans like to make OC clones.

Also, I AM thinking about making a color chart for known battalions. And since there are so few, including those of OC made battalions too.

If anyone is interested.

Here's the link to the post that started this.

Seventh Sister nodded expecting a name and a good one

"during the Old Republic era there was a Jedi master of our kind who sat on the cancel their name was Jor Aerith. Jor should be a simple name for you and hopefully you will follow on her lead and become a member of the council one day when we no longer have to be in hiding.” not only revealing that she helped they be able to restore the order but she imagined one day despite their past her new Padawan might be able to become a member of the Jedi council

Jedi lineages and their Clone Wars units in the Vopak AU series as of chapter 20 of I will carry you.

These are diagrams to show which units in the Vopak AU series are attached to which Jedi, within their lineages. I have put in brackets which characters are my OCs and which units were either created by me or just given OC names because I could not find a canon name (same for the Commander of the 13th Battalion).

The boxes containing the names of the units and the clones that served in them, are coloured to match what colour their armour was painted. I couldn’t remember Depa’s battalion’s armour paint, so I gave them the colour of red. For the 91st I also couldn’t remember their armour colour, but I couldn’t resist making them match Mace’s lightsaber. As I feel this is something Ponds would definitely do in a way to mess with Mace.

Arrows between Jedi Master/Knight and Jedi Padawan names demonstrate the commanding Jedi officers of the units while serving in the Clone Wars. So, if there is no arrow between a Padawan and a unit, then that Padawan did not serve with the unit and was taken as a Padawan after the war and the move to Vopak.

Cyslin Myr (a female Mirialan) is a canon Master I found for Mace, there is no record of who her Master was. So, I made her one of Yoda’s Padawans as I like the idea of Mace being a part of Yoda’s lineages. (This is something I did in my Exists in a delicate balance series.) 

Tyvokka (a male Wookie) is a canon Master I found for Plo. There is no record of who his Master was, I was tempted to add him as one of Yoda’s Padawans or Grandpadawans but decided not to in the end.

In my AU Garen Muln is Plo Koon’s Padawan, but this completely my own headcanon.

The 42nd Air Combat Wing was a unit I created for the Vopak AU series for Garen Muln. 

I couldn’t find a record of a Master for Kit, but there was indication that Yoda was his Master. But I could not find definitive evidence to back this up, so Kit is listed here without a Master of his own.

Commander Fil, Niner and Bel are canon clones that served with Nahdar Vebb as their General. I could not find a canon name for their unit, so I named them the 44th Battalion.

Jor Aerith (a female Mirialan) is a canon Jedi Master. Her battalion, the 184th Attack Battalion, is her canon battalion. Commander Crane is her canon Commander of the 184th. She is the canon Master for Gretz Droom.

Gretz Droom (a male Jedi) is a canon Jedi Master. He was an Initiate at the same time as Qui-Gon Jinn and they were chosen to be Padawans at the same time. Droom does not have a canon unit that he served with during the Clone Wars, so I made him the General for the 181st Armour Division, which is a canon unit. I created OCs for the 181st. Droom does not have any canon Padawans that I could find, so I gave him one of my Padawan OCs.

Fendah Keal is one of my OC Padawans. He is a Halaisi (golden skin and golden eyes) and was chosen as a Padawan at the age of 11. Fendah was 16 when the Clone Wars began and was 19 when the war ended and when the Jedi Order moved to Vopak. As of chapter 20 of I will carry you, Fendah is 20 years old and getting ready to take his Knight Trials, he will be one of the first Padawans promoted to Knight on Vopak.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

I was really apprehensive about starting this book because I wasn’t entirely interested in knowing more about Dooku because what else is there to know? He’s got style, he’s got grace, and he’s a winner, he’s Count of Serenno. Anyway, I find that the books I think aren’t going to interest me are the ones I learn the most from. 

Spoilers below.

First off, this isn’t actually a book. You can buy the script on Amazon but it is primarily available as an audio play of sorts. The script was written by Cavan Scott who has authored several books in the Star Wars literature. The run time is a little over 6 hours, so it’s a lot shorter than other books I’ve listened to in Star Wars canon (Catalyst and Bloodlines - covering those both later). 

The basic plot summary is that Asajj Ventress learns about her master Count Dooku and his past from various sources, including his own recountings to her, communications between him and his sister, Jenza, as well as his holopad journal, while she is on a quest to find Jenza.

Notable things I learned about: 

1) The Lost Twenty - Jedi Masters who became disillusioned with the Jedi Order. I remember this being mentioned in an Episode II: AOTC deleted scene but didn’t give much thought to it. There are many components of the Jedi Order that have perpetually perplex me, especially in light of the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy. The only stories we hear of the Force are those at the opposing ends - the lightest and the darkest. It would be something to see a story of balance. It’s a lot to ask of people to give up familial ties, to take children away from their families, but I also see the importance of learning how to balance one’s power in the Force, lest one becomes a danger to oneself or others.

2)  Expanding upon the idea of balance in the Force, we get an ancient Jedi mantra for balance in Dooku: Jedi Lost:

We call upon the three—light, dark, and balance true. One is no greater than the others. Together, they unite, restore, center, and renew. We walk into the light, acknowledge the dark, and find balance within ourselves. The Force is strong.

3) This may or may not be a correct conclusion to draw from the book but it kiiiiiinda seems like mayyyybeeeee Dooku’s turn to the dark side miiiiiight have been related to the “legend” that Serenno was once part of the Sith empire (Me in my head: spicy peppers for spicy Siths). His sister Jenza recounts to him that once of their ancestors fought off the Sith and the other houses submitted to them. They have a funny little exchange about Jedi and Serennians, but I will leave y’all to read that.

Stuff that made me LOL:

- Dooku and Sifo-Dyas were so cute and shitty to each other, as preteens and teens are wont to do. They had NICKNAMES (Doo and Si), fabulous to see Dooku with a sense of humor not so mired in darkness, although you could argue he is pretty funny in The Clone Wars TV show.

- Asajj having lengthy conversations with Ky about whether or not he’s really in her head or if she’s just losing it, because their bickering was A+.

- Asajj threatening people.

- Dooku fighting with a fucking glass of wine and not spilling it like the bad bitch that he is. The man SIMPLY HAS STYLE!

Characters:

Orlagh Cassidy as Asajj Ventress

Euan Morton as Dooku

Pete Bradbury as Gretz Droom (new character, Padawan to Jor Aerith)

Jonathan Davis as Qui-Gon Jinn

Neil Hellegers as Ramil (New character, brother of Dooku)

Sean Kenin as Sifo-Dyas

January LaVoy as Jor Aerith (New character, Master to Gretz Droom)

Saskia Maarleveld as Jenza (New character, sister to Dooku)

Carol Monda as Lene Kostana (New character, Master to Sifo-Dyas, Dooku is greatly fascinated by her and her work to study and find Sith relics in order to prepare for what she believes is the impending Sith uprising)

Robert Petkoff as Ky Narec (Former Master to Asajj, serving as the voice of her consciousness--the way I heard it anyway)

Rebecca Soler as Yula Braylon (New character, a Seeker and Jedi who had a son Arath--unbeknownst to the Council--who was somewhat of an annoyance or rival to Dooku during their days as initiates)

Marc Thompson as Yoda (Master to Dooku)

Hey there you're usually my number one source for Star Wars stuff! Is there any reason why Corey Burton isnt voicing Dooku for the audiobook that is coming out for dooku? I love Dooku so much and was a bit surprised!

Hi!  I don’t have any official info on this, but my assumption is that it’s because it’s a different company making the audio drama than made TCW and that Random House Audio may not have access or may just prefer using their usual contracted actors.It’s not just Corey Burton for Dooku, either!  Here’s the audio drama cast:Dooku: Jedi Lost cast:Orlagh Cassidy as Asajj VentressEuan Morton as DookuPete Bradbury as Gretz DroomJonathan Davis as Qui-Gon JinnNeil Hellegers as RamilSean Kenin as Sifo-DyasJanuary LaVoy as Jor AerithSaskia Maarleveld as JenzaCarol Monda as Lene KostanaRobert Petkoff as Ky NarecRebecca Soler as Yula BraylonMarc Thompson as YodaVERSUS The Clone Wars cast, where applicable:Nika Futterman as Asajj VentressCorey Burton as DookuLiam Neeson as Qui-Gon JinnTom Kane as YodaSometimes the books do get the actors from TCW or the movies to read the novels (like Ashley Eckstein for Ahsoka, Kelly Marie Tran for Cobalt Squadron, Catherine Taber for Queen’s Shadow) but far more often they use readers like Marc Thomspon or January LaVoy (who are my favorites!) for Star Wars books and it makes sense that they’d be part of this.It might be a money thing (it’d be expensive to hire those actors for just the one job) or it might be a contract thing or a preference thing, but it’s not too surprising and I’m eager to hear it, they’re a bunch of really good actors in there!  ♥

Vopak AU series OC Padawans and their lineages part 2/3 - Jor and Kit’s lineages

A picture of both lineages for Jor Aerith and Kit Fisto as of 7972 CRC (5 BBY). Along with some background information about the new OC Padawans joining OC Padawan Aliyash Shudar from Yoda’s lineage. These new OC Padawans will be appearing in a fic in the series once I have finished writing it. Characters without (OC) under their name are canon characters, the characters with (OC) are my original Padawan characters.

Jor’s lineage:

Navo Tetsu – born 7949. Made a Padawan in 7961 aged 12, she is Gretz’s second Padawan. A female Nautolan. Navo goes swimming with Eenar a lot and is often joined by the other aquatic Padawans. The 181st love spending time with her as they didn’t get a baby Commander Padawan in the war due to Fendah being 16.

Eenar Barotr – born 7951. Made a Padawan in 7963 aged 12, she is Fendah’s first Padawan. A female Mon Calamari. 181st love her as they didn’t really get a baby Commander in the war (now they have two!), due to Fendah being 16 when the Clone Wars started. The 181st hate seeing Eenar hurt/fail a test, so they have a habit of helping her out in training, subverting the lesson she is getting. It takes Fendah and Gretz to tell them it is okay for Eenar to fail sometimes, as she needs to learn. 181st also go to the 2nd SCUBA Battalion for swimming tips, and form a support group with the 42nd Air Combat Wing on the 42nd’s request, in learning to understand their Mon Calamari Padawan. Eenar, being Fendah’s Padawan, makes the 181st shocked at how quickly Fendah has grown up to become a Knight and take on his own Padawan.

Luca Donnall – born 7960. Made a Padawan in 7970 aged 10, he is Navo’s first Padawan. Male human, blonde hair and green eyes. Luca makes the men of the 181st feel old because he was born after the end of the clone wars.

Kit’s lineage:

Jysell Waldar – born 7949. Made a Padawan in 7959 aged 10, Bant’s first Padawan. Human, male dark skin, black hair and brown eyes. Jysell follows his Master and trains to be a healer. Men of the 2nd SCUBA love spending time with him and Krine (Kit’s Grandpadawans). The 2nd SCUBA make sure to spend time with him as he feels odd in a lineage of swimmers, so they always invite him to go swimming with them. Jysell becomes close friends with Krine and call themselves lineage cousins. He also becomes good friends with Aliyash and Jynne due to all three of their Masters’ friendship. Can be very chaotic, causing Garen and Obi-Wan to laugh at Bant for getting a chaotic Padawan when she was the voice of reason in their friendship group.

Krine Dara – born 7948. Made a Padawan in 7959 aged 11, she is Nahdar’s first Padawan. Female, Nautolan. The 44th Battalion love her, very excited to get a baby Commander of their own, they had been pleading with Nahdar to take on a Padawan. Then the 44th have to cope with Krine sneaking off to go swimming in the lake, they get very concerned and Nahdar just manages to stop them putting a tracking device on her. The 44th flock to other battalions/units for looking after baby Commander lessons, they get a range of advice, but mostly other battalions/units are jealous of them that Krine’s only chaotic behaviour is sneaking off to the lake for a swim.
