Trial of the Spirit

"Facing the mirror."

- Even Piell

The Trial of the Spirit was the last of the Jedi Trials, and perhaps the most difficult. A padawan would have to look deep within themselves, and see what they were truly made of. Often times, the padawan did not like what they saw, and it could be a highly traumatic experience.

Anakin Skywalker experienced his Trial of the Spirit when he had a vision of his fall to the dark side of the Force on Nelvaan. The Trial of the Spirit seems to have been one of the few Trials Luke Skywalker included in the New Jedi Order. Kyp Durron went on a Trial of the Spirit when he encountered the spirit of his brother, who he killed when he destroyed Carida with the Sun Crusher. Brakiss also underwent a Trial of the Spirit, seeing what he really looked like on the inside. What he saw traumatized him greatly.
