So the story begins off in the present with the same holocron from the archivist that we’ve seen in the previous issues. The Archivist is talking to two mysterious people who haven’t yet been revealed in this comic run... We know for sure that one of them is a light side force users but we know nothing about the other. My money right now is on Luke Skywalker and maybe Han With him, but we’ll have to wait for future issues to find out. Either way, the Archivist is telling the mysterious two who opened the HOlocron that nobody remains the same. Most people change with time, no matter how set in their ways they are... and in her case, that change was rather dramatic.

We then skip into the past timeline where we get to see exactly what the archivist means... Before she became the woman in the Holocron she had a very diferent life. They say working with the dark side of the force corrupts ones physical form, but for her it was much simpler. In the archivists old live she worked as a Sava. Another word for a highly regarded scholar or teacher. She worked at the university of Bar’Leth, the same place that Doctor Aphra Attended.

During her time at the University, The Archivist chose to study a subject which nobody else would dare touch. She devoted her life to learning about the Dark Side of the force. This made her immensely happy, but then... Order 66 came.

We then learn that the Archivist’s real name was Madelin Sun and that when Order 66 killed the Jedi, it also killed her career in studying the force. Now she is nothing but a Junk Trader.

The archivist is now simply trying to get by in the Galaxy after her career was destroyed by Order 66, selling her junk goods, when a group of stormtroopers approaches her operation. She explains that she has nothing, but the cruel troopers decide to give her shop a good tossing to show her who’s now in charge. Madelin vows to file a complaint with the Imperial Governor of the sector but obviously thats not going to do much. As the troopers ransack and destroy the place for no good reason, one of them comes across an ancient blue blade. The trooper hands it to his superior and he immediately marks it as illegal contraband under Order 66, Codicil Nine. Now this is really interesting because it introduces into Canon that Order 66 wasn’t just a simple Military Order. I was a full fledged set of directives with multiple subsections that created new Rules for the Galaxy.

Either way, Madelin begs the trooper to let her keep the blade, insisting that she only has it for sentimental reasons. The trooper though refuses. He is about to leave with the contraband item but out of nowhere a flurry of blaster bolts lights up her shop and the troopers are killed on the spot. As Madelin turns her head, she finds a woman in red calling herself Qi’ra.

Qi’ra introduces herself and says she’s very familliar with Madelin’s academic work, but Madelin is still in shock because Qi’ra just killed 3 imperial soldiers on her property... Nothing good can come of that. Regardless, Qi’ra says she has no fear of the Empire and instead offers Madelin a Job. Qi’ra refuses to say what the Job is and instead has a question for her. Why is the study of the force now banned? Why does nobody talk about the force publically anymore.

How did a huge group of force users who worked directly with the galactic government become nothing but myth among the people?

Madelin has been wondering the same thing, ans she believes it is because of the following. The Jedi Order was strong and at the very front of the citizen’s minds. They had a huge temple at the heart of Coruscant and worked closely with the republic. Holodramas or movies were made of them and the Jedi were celebrities. Madelin doesn’t see any different between the light and dark sides, because both are essential and have their role. But she believes that for most people who really thought about it at all, the light side represente the way they wanted to live and e dark side was closer to how they actually were.

Madelin says that in a single generation, the Entire Jedi Order and the concept of wielding the force itself largely disappeared from the mind of the Galaxy. All the movies, the Jedi games, the Jedi bravery during the Clone Wars all simply vanished. How did this happen? Well Madelin Believes that the simple answer is fear. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power he made people afraid of the Jedi Order. He called them traitors and said they used their mystical powers to undermine democracy and to cause the Clone Wars.
