    Holocron Radio Episode 12 — Who Are the Mortis Gods? | Legends & Canon

    The Holocron is open once again, and Episode 12 is taking us into one of the deepest and strangest corners of Star Wars mythology: the Mortis Gods. Who were the Father, Son, and Daughter? Were they actually gods, physical manifestations of the Force, or something else entirely? We’re starting with Star Wars Legends, diving into the history of the Ones, their connection to Abeloth, and what they meant to the greater mythology of the Force. Then we’ll transition into Canon, Anakin Skywalker’s experience on Mortis, Ahsoka’s connection to the Daughter, Morai, the World Between Worlds, and why Mortis could still have major implications for the future of Star Wars. Also in Episode 12: 🌌 This Week in Star Wars — The latest news from around the galaxy📜 Fact of the Week — How the name “Sith” came to be🔥 Grandmaster’s Take — Did J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson fundamentally misunderstand Star Wars?⚔️ Jedi of the Week — Legends icon Nomi Sunrider👀 Hot Take From the Internet — “If you still hate the Prequels in 2026, you’re just following a crowd opinion from 20 years ago.” Do the Prequels deserve the love they receive today, or has nostalgia changed the conversation?🎙️ Holocron Radio Milestones — We’ve officially crossed 1,000 YouTube subscribers, Spotify continues to grow, and this community keeps getting bigger.

    A Message From Grandmaster Jordan | Episode 12 Delayed

    ’t a normal episode of Holocron Radio. I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk directly to everyone who has been supporting me and the show. I recently celebrated my birthday on August 19, and I’m extremely grateful for my wife, family, friends, and everyone who showed up to celebrate me and support what I’ve been building. But at the same time, there was someone important to me who I thought would be there who wasn’t, and it affected me more than I expected. So this week, I need to take some time for myself and get my mind right. Episode 12 will be delayed until next Friday. I’d rather take a week, regroup, and come back ready than force myself to record when I know I’m not mentally there. I also want to say something bigger than the podcast. Take your mental health seriously. Star Wars has actually been one of my escapes during difficult times. When I was younger and going through things mentally, this galaxy gave me somewhere to escape to. Even today, sometimes sitting down and reading a Star Wars book, watching one of the movies or shows, or just getting lost in the lore can be therapeutic for me. Find the healthy things that help you get through those difficult moments. And when escaping into something you love isn’t enough, reach out to somebody. Talk to your family, your friends, someone you trust, or a professional if you need it. And if you notice somebody around you struggling, reach out to them too. Mental health matters. Thank you again for supporting Holocron Radio and for allowing me to take this week for myself. I’ll be back next week refreshed and ready for Episode 12 and our big interview. Until then, take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and may the Force be with you all. Always.

From Kam Solusar, Tionne, Streen, Gantoris, Dorsk 81 and Kirana Ti to major early members of Luke's Order like Kyle Katarn, Corran Horn and Kyp Durron, we're looking at where these Jedi came from, what happened to them, and how Luke transformed a small group of Force-sensitives into the foundation of a new Jedi generation. We'll also discuss the Exar Kun crisis, the successes and failures of Luke's early academy, and why Luke's approach to rebuilding the Jedi was fundamentally different from the Jedi Order that came before him. 🔥 Holocron Radio Reads a Star Wars Hot Take — Is Dave Filoni's attachment to Ahsoka preventing him from being the right person to lead Star Wars into its next era? 🟣 JEDI OF THE WEEK: ANAKIN SOLO We explore the life and legacy of one of the New Jedi Order's most promising young Jedi—from his place in the Solo family and relationship with Tahiri Veila to his heroic leadership and ultimate sacrifice during the Yuuzhan Vong War. 👀 PLUS: EPISODE 12 TEASER Anastasia returns with another question: Who are the Mortis Gods?
