* DividedWeFall: A big part of the reason Abeloth gets as far as she does isn't just because of how monstrously powerful she is.

The Jedi are still heroic, but also struggling to grapple with a world that is increasingly drifting away from their black-and-white days of fighting Dark Jedi and Palpatine-wannabes; some are thus being forced to [[ShootTheDog make hard choices]] and some also edge towards the [[KnightTemplar fundamentalism]] of the old Jedi they had been growing beyond in response to the troubled times.
