Jackson gives Ryan his first glimpse of what is known colloquially as "The Old Republic". These are the origins created by Tom Veitch that will go on to inspire many more stories. Here we analyze the questionably morality of Jedi Master Thon and the teaching methods Jedi Masters seem to enjoy using. Also, will Jackson be able to stop thinking about Nomi Sunrider's outfit enough to focus on the episode?

We don't think so...
