((Obligatory OOC moment)) Time: The week after the Battle of Metalorn, 836 ABY Thinking about it, I might as well use the diary just to keep track of a few things. I've heard from other trainees talking that they keep diaries for something like that, so that they don't forget about certain...

I got this data pad from the head instructor today. She told me to use it as a diary. I don't know why she told me this. I guess I'll use it.

Disclaimer for great justice: This article, while interesting and informative, is not canon in any sense. It’s still a fun read, though. Disclaimer for great injustice: This post contains many umlauts, due to Finnish being te derivative language in use. You’ve been warned. While many...

Alright, well here we go. New Academic year, new set of journals. Most of this will end up in the Templar Archives as well as my ship's database. It's for posterity, I guess. With the old university gone, I'm what's left of our archival system. That's weird to say. Go figure. The last survivor...

A lot of things have happened in the last two years... I've been welcomed back into the Jedi with open arms as I escaped that wretched simulation. I regained my memory, I accomplished a lifelong dream of becoming a Jedi Knight... And now here I am, sitting here now writing this a Jedi Weapon...

The Echani Martial Art The Echani martial art is an art steeped in Galactic tradition. One of the oldest known martial arts, and also arguably one of the most famous, the Echani martial art is both beautiful and deadly. Its fame (and its name) comes from the white-haired Echani people of Eshan...

Internal and External – Energy and You All martial arts around the Galaxy can be classed as internal or external. An internal art focuses entirely on energy generated within the body that is spiritual in nature, while an external art focuses on perfecting the body to improve the spiritual...

Echani Weapons Weaponry in Echani is highly varied – there are as many weapons forms as there are schools, but it is one of the most integral parts of the art that it is impossible to overlook. There are way too many weapons to cover in a single document, so the most recognizable and common...

Oh my god this is so late. I know. I'm sorry. So, I give you arguably the meatiest and probably most important section - techniques! Combat Techniques Echani techniques are characterized by flowing circular motions that allow smooth transition from one technique to the next with very little...

Ah, finally I get to sit down and write tonight! Today was just as hectic as planned, though I'm afraid I overestimated my ability to operate on a few hours of sleep. It seems I am not as energetic as I used to be twenty years ago. Needless to say, this entry shall not be long. I'm curled up in...

After all the planning and preparation, can you believe my fickle heart just wasn't in the mood for my party tonight? I suppose it all started with the rain. Yes, of course. It was the rain. Scheduled on a day like this. Ugh. I woke up to a dreary day outside, which only made me want to bury my...

The view of the city tonight is particularly gorgeous, though I am not in the best of moods to appreciate it. Coruscant is oddly tranquil at this hour, just before the night falls to cloak us all in darkness and make the skyhooks shimmer. Looking out I can see hovercars pass by. The Republic's...

First I'd like to talk a little about Buddhism and why it relates so heavily to what will be referred to in the notes here. It's important to have a very quick background on it to understand a few simple concepts. Buddhism As mentioned in my last article, the Shaolin temple practices a subset...

Today's research notes delve into the history of Shaolin and Echani. Time for a compare and contrast! Echani The Echani martial art first appeared in Star Wars in Crimson Empire, as the martial art of choice for the Emperor's Royal Guard; their training in double-vibroblades and force pikes, as...

So. As some people know, I'm going to be working on a 'final project', as it were - essentially my best work here at SWRP, and what I would like to establish as my personal legacy. I'm going to be writing a guide to the Echani martial art. Some background is required, then. Me? Most people...
