BIOGRAPHY:
Saki was born to a noble house on Tepani and as she aged was spoiled. After she beat a servant for stealing from them she was sent away to the temple to learn how to control her temper. It didn't work at least not how her parents wanted. She batted one of the instructors against the wall with the force and screamed sending out a shockwave as she was restrained. As the jedi came and subdued her they sought to calm her and help her. Offering to take her to an institution where she could get help.
The institute helped her some she learned to channel her rage into something positive and eventually had a sense of peace. A small invitation wa extended and she accepted it. Nothing special... join the jedi and continue to learn how to control the anger inside her. As Saki trained she remained calm but it was there and she ould feel it once during training with a droid on Tython she let loose and didn't feel anger or hate just rage at the galaxy while she pummeled it into scrap.

THE CODE:

I have been rewatching some films that were helped me when I was growing up and were very important personally to values. One I rewatched brought something that I incorporate into Saki's interpretation of the jedi code

This is one jedi who has fought against the evils of the sith since she was thirteen years old, taught a form that masters feared by her own as a padawan. Who had fought in nearly every major sith vs jedi conflict, seen the genocide of two species by the sith, been a soldier in a war for where her friends have fallen, converted or disappeared and it seems like it would never end.

She has said before that evil wins cause the ones who want to do good aren't willing to do anything and it shows. Some of us have been around for awhile and watched the jedi do barely anything while the sith build up or turn on each other instead of trying to build unity. It took Selena one generally disliked who was able to unite the entire jedi order and go after the sith.

Then when the sith were gone for a time suddenly she is terrible and evil because she made a line and said the sith would come no further. Now there is jedi who re "noble" on the surface but the order has become rotten inside showing how the popular and "good" leaders can be worse things. Jedi leaving, converting, personal attacks, inquisition near mentality with the justification that no one else is "loyal to the group"

Which group is the real question and that is a rant for another time but there is plenty that has been said about that and many jokes made. We're talking about the jedi and their code, this is one jedi's perspective although it is also mine and so is colored with my own bias about what it means to be a jedi. The parts of it and some honor that we should try to have within the characters.

"Not might makes right, but might for right."

To many and this is where her view from sith differs when everyone goes "darksiders... heretic" It is that she believes in might, the power of her fist and strength but not because it makes things how you want. She doesn't bludgeon the world to make it hers she uses it towards the goal of helping others and protecting.

This goes back to legends and stories in real life as well. Creatures like the Golem that was created from clay and protected its people with its power, the mighty warrior who is an outcast but selflessly will fight for everyone he comes across. Usually to them in the end casting him aside because his job is done. Leaving him to wander again

"Not Right is right, Right for right."

This is another very important thing to remember and is essential to a hero and a jedi staple. It isn't only enough to be in the right, to be the good guy. You must also be willing to do things because it is the right thing to do, jedi act selflessly defending the innocent without hope or thought of a reward. They do not accept it because there should be no reward or thought of it if you are good.

This is another thing Saki falls into, as she works to fully accept and teach her own students or ones who follow. You do not do things because your going to get something, support for politics, credits, things. You o what is right, you defend the innocent and meek because it is the right thing to do and you have the strength they don't.

"Jedi are elevated because long ago the Galaxy gave us their trust."

This has been used falsely and made out of context by many. There is a line said by Obi-wan Kenobi about a lightsaber.

"This was the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. More skill than simple sight was required for its use. An elegant weapon. It was a symbol as well. Anyone can use a blaster or a fusioncutter—but to use a lightsaber well was a mark of someone a cut above the ordinary."
Obi-Wan Kenobi

A saber holds authority to the galaxy, it symbolizes the jedi and can stop hostile situations before they begin. This is not the jedi's doing not fully, a symbol only holds power when it is given such. The jedi by extension are only given authority and power by those who look upon them, those who long ago said the jedi stood up to fight the forces of darkness and had something putting them apart from others.

They are not cops, they are not soldiers but they are able to preform these tasks, they are not purely monks, they are not purely warriors but something in between. Able to defend peace with words, the force or a blade. Their authority has no value unless the people give it, unless the people still put them out there as the ones who solve problems and call in for help.

"So we must work everyday to keep that trust."

This is the main part that gets ignored after Saki speaks they are so ready to crucify her for saying jedi were given a status and elevation above people they ignore that she is usually the only one wanting to do and us everything to keep the galaxies truth and faith in them. To keep that little amount they were given long ago and show they deserve it every single day.

She fights and works to give them a repayment of the authority and trust. This keeps her away from galactic turmoil and events and usually puts her outside the opinions of the council. That her working to defend and stabilize the regions the sith have abandoned where people are suffering. She doesn't care to play the political game of being popular.

"I may be the only veteran of this war who doesn't have nightmares of that place. Because in my dreams, I always do it right. My nightmare is what I find when I wake up."
Mace Windu

This is something that has plagued her and made some of her actions understandable. Such as her never wanting to take command of people and rushing into fights to draw as many sith to her as she can. She doesn't go in recklessly, she doesn't use anger to make herself a dark jedi and fight. She uses her inner darkness to forge it into a weapon of the light.

She has worked hard to keep moving, to keep her thoughts about everything that has went on and all she has seen into something more. Each atrocity she has seen, each sith she has fought and each former friend she has fought serve to spurn her forward towards really working to be better.

"Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm."
Mace Windu

This also helps sum up Saki and how the jedi as a whole have forgotten to act, for those of us who were here, who remember the "Great Peace" We saw two things. One that is failed on a large scale because it wasn't about protecting the people it was about stroking ones ego. Two because with the peace failing, eventually it became about preserving the peace treaty.

This was the true threat, preserving a treaty you know endangers the people because you are to prideful to admit things have failed is in many ways more dangerous then others can imagine. Yes should peace be the goal? Sure but not at the expense of everyone else, not at the cost of trillions of lives that will be lost and snuffed out so you can have your perfect world.

"Got to embrace your flaws."

This was one of the large things Saki explained to the jedi for getting master. A sixteen year old with emotional issues who had fought in war since she was able to really hold a blade properly. She admitted her faults, admitted to her shortcomings and how she wasn't the wisest jedi, or the most diplomatic.

She was flawed and she accepted that, looked at them as something one used to make themselves live and push harder. Move that little bit faster to not make mistakes, pay attention so they don't allow mistakes to happen a second time and rely on others who are not like them to give a more rounded view.

"I am willing to give everything even my life for this galaxy."

Saki has expressed this on several occasions but it can never be said enough she is willing to die and fight to her last breath to defend people. Her fight is against the sith and the darkside she doesn't focus on the other things, on the jedi infighting, on the Republic becoming a cesspit of corruption and inquisitions because others have opinions.

Her sense of honor keeps her from going dark, a dangerous thing usually but there is a reason why she can laugh in the face of a sith lord. As she showed fighting Kaine and Shorn she can laugh at the fight, at their words because it keeps them out of her head and from breaking her concentration as it comes to fighting. She already has enough demons with her use of vaapad and juyo and getting more is a dangerous thing.

So while I know it isn't perfect, neither is Saki and her outlook on the force is very simplistic. She doesn't go with the full will of the force, she doesn't see the world as shades of grey, she doesn't view it as a single entity based on intent. She doesn't really acknowledge the force in her workings only the man/woman/species.

She looked to their intent and their reasons for doing things. Her fight with Maya Whitelight on Empress Teta emphasized that as she admitted she didn't care why Maya joined the sith only that she had, that she had betrayed her friends, betrayed her oaths and promises to protect the galaxy from evil.

She isn't a jedi who tries to preach her superiority by saying everyone else then her "isn't a jedi" because there are so many different types of jedi. There are the passive ones like Fey who never carried a blade, never attacked and could invoke peace in whole armies. There are ones like Mace Windu who turned himself into a weapon of the lightside to combat the darkness and there are ones like Yoda who were wise able to fight and seek peace.

ADDITION:

For some this might reveal a darker side to Saki not sith like but she is many things with character flaws. She isn't in many ways an idealized jedi. She has been fighting the forces of the sith for a long time (age wise, 12-16) where since she was able to leave the temple she has only been in after arriving from Hapes.

Her fighting in a struggle that never seems to have a true outcome always going and going back and forth could have a psychological outcome. More so on her since these days a lot of the darksiders she is facing are former friends. When she is in combat and on a hair trigger ready for a fight.

That could be how she always sees herself as a soldier in the war against the darkside. She isn't Saki of Gallinore she is Saki a Warrior of the jedi and when she went to oneness with the force for a short time she saw and felt everything. She became the powers with no identity.

The powers of the force was all she was and whoever Saki was didn't have an actual identity. She wanted to stay in it because by rejecting her personality that part of her that was Saki she could retreat. Because that personality had her friends betraying her. She has yet to face an identity crisis because the war is ongoing still.

Though when that happens is she Saki of Gallinore? Saki of the Jedi? Saki the mother? Saki the master? She is possibly all and neither with herself retreating for fear of the real dangers that are coming in the galaxy.
