Ordu Aspectu

Jedi

The Ordu Aspectu is a mysterious and ancient organization from the Star Wars universe, existing thousands of years before The Clone Wars. The true nature, history, and legacy of the Ordu Aspectu are embedded in myths and Legends, with several conflicting narratives available throughout the Star Wars canon. Some tellings describe them as an ancient Jedi sect, while others paint them as occultists obsessed with eternal life.

The different tales are tangled with discrepancies and contradictions, as seen in the comic series Star Wars: Doctor Aphra. In one account, Rur, a member of the Jedi Order, was persuaded to join the Ordu Aspectu in their pursuit of eternal life. However, this obsessive quest led to their downfall, leading to a battle with the rest of the Jedi Order prompting the Ordu Aspectu's sanctuary's destruction.

In another version of the Ordu Aspectu's story, they were portrayed as a peaceful sect led by a wise, ancient master. Their goal was not obsessive immortality, but rather to achieve a transcendent state of immortality where they could exist in oneness with The Force. This version evokes less of villainy and more of spiritual asceticism.

Rur is a key character in the mythology of the Ordu Aspectu. In the comic series, Doctor Aphra recovers a crystal supposedly containing his consciousness. This version of Rur, however, believes his actual self died thousands of years ago and now he is a mere reflection of his former self, trapped in a crystalline computer.

These contradicting tales make it hard to fully grasp the true nature of the Ordu Aspectu. It symbolizes the challenge of mythmaking and the struggle to preserve historical accuracy over millennia. In this manner, the intrigue around the Ordu Aspectu not only adds to the lore of the Star Wars universe but also imitates the real world problem of historical accuracy.

the Ordu Aspectu is a mysterious entity that is as captivating as it is mysterious. With contradicting tales regarding their origins, purpose, and fate, they add a layer of depth to the rich Star Wars mythos.
