Carton milk school

Ahsoka: "He'll be fine"

Kanan: "Yeah? How do you know that?"

Ahsoka: "Because you taught him"

In the novel "Last Known Trajectory" by @soulnova_alizrak, Ezra is tasked to start an "Order" of Force-sensitive beings.

Sure, the story is not canon (pity!), but it gave me an interesting perspective about comparing the pillars of Ezra's teaching philosophy versus the New Order founded by Luke.

Besides the half a day with Obi-Wan, and a short and incomplete time with Yoda, Luke had to learn every single scrap of his Jedi knowledge from books, tales, legends. Fragments painfully and meticulously collected around the Galaxy.

Force trees, compasses, ancient scrolls, temples, artifacts, guardians' sabers. You name it. He became an Academic, in a way.

So, his School was a rigorous and strict one. Without the example of an actual Master bending the rules sometimes, his doctrine resulted in a complete acceptance of the Old Code.

Forbidden attachments, love, family, friends, all the crap.

We all know how the experiment went.

And, as the very "black/white" guy he is, Luke thought everything was lost.

I became convinced the Jedi Order had done more harm to the galaxy than good. That they were so blinded by their own light they left the darkness creep in and take control. And so I came here, to Ahch-To, the most unfindable place in the whole galaxy, to die. And to let the Jedi die with me.

Ezra, on the other hand, had a humble but caring teacher, whose incomplete training led him to rethink most of the arcane and alienating Jedi precepts. He taught Ezra compassion, attachment, vulnerability, empathy, sacrifice.

And, as a fundamentally down-to-earth and straightforward guy, Kanan wasn't cryptic.

He was throwing at you blue milk cartons, sitting and talking if you needed to, hugging you if you had a shitty day.

Kanan: Do or do not; there is no try.

Ezra: What does that even mean? How can I do something if I don't try to do it?

Kanan: I– Actually, that one always confused me too, but Master Yoda sure used to say it a lot.

From now on, I will teach you. Look, I may fail. You may fail. But there is no try.

I know to which School I would apply.
