This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

"You can't change the river's flow by casting a stone, but live in harmony with nature, and you'll change together. The people of this world know that well. You know that the breath of life becomes wind and will always respond. Magina, may you rise. And may the Force be with you."

―F^[1]

F was a human female Jedi Padawan of the Jedi Order. She trained under the Jedi Shad-Rah, who she believed was killed in 19 BBY when the Sith Lord Darth Sidious issued Order 66. After her master's supposed death, F was traumatized and began wearing a mask to isolate herself. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, F received a message from the explorer Valco and met with him on the planet Keelia. There, Valco showed F to where the humans Haru and Asu were performing a purification ceremony, allowing them to view the planet's memories. That night, F and Valco attended Asu and Haru's wedding in Meevai Village. At the wedding, F learned that Haru would be giving herself up as a hostage to a group of raiders the next morning. Haru's younger sister Saku attempted to persuade her to fight back, but Haru refused. After the wedding, F meditated in the forest and spoke with Haru, who explained her choice to give herself to the raiders.

The next morning, F cut her Padawan braid and removed her mask. Lord Izuma, the leader of the raiders, arrived outside the village to take Haru and revealed that his forces had captured Saku after she had tried to resist him. He attempted to execute her, but F stopped his blaster bolt with the Force and sent it back toward him. After Valco deactivated Izuma's battle droids, Izuma grabbed Haru and held a blaster to her. F ignited her lightsaber and propelled herself toward Izuma, cutting off his arm and saving Haru. She later departed the planet in her ship.

Biography[]

A traumatizing past[]

SadFOrder66-VillageBride — F during Order 66

F was a human^[1] female^[2] Jedi Padawan of the Jedi Order who trained under the Jedi^[1] Shad-Rah.^[4] At one point, F met^[5] the explorer Valco, a friend of her master.^[3] In 19 BBY, near the end of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious issued Order 66, compelling the Republic's clone troopers to turn against the Jedi and kill many of them,^[6] with F apparently witnessing Shad-Rah's death.^[3] After her master's supposed death, F laid on the ground with tears in her eyes and reached a hand toward their body while other Jedi fought around them.^[1] F survived, but was traumatized and began wearing a mask to isolate herself. Without her master, she was left with no purpose or guidance and was unsure of which side of the Force she would fall.^[3]

Observing a ritual[]

"People of this world have a deep respect for nature. Their rituals allow them to live in harmony with it."
"Is that what you wanted to show me?"
"Only because an old friend of ours had roots on this planet."

―Valco and F^[1]

ValcoAndF-VillageBride — F and Valco observe the purification ceremony

During the reign of the Galactic Empire, F received a message from Valco and traveled to the Outer Rim planet^[1] Keelia.^[7] After arriving on the planet, F found Valco using^[1] his^[3] helmet and other devices to explore a forest. Valco acknowledged her arrival, and F stated her need to be cautious, though Valco assured her that the Empire would not reach her there. After noting his interest in the planet and telling her that he wanted to show her something, Valco commented that F's mask did not suit her. F looked away and noticed the human Asu carrying^[1] his^[3] bride, the human Haru, on a chair up a nearby mountain.^[1]

Valco then showed F to the edge of a cliff, where they observed Asu and Haru perform^[1] a purification ceremony^[3] in the valley below. A circle of^[1] blue energy^[8] covered the valley, and Haru and Asu saw themselves playing in a river as children. F and Valco also witnessed the vision, and F realized they were seeing the planet's memories. As the vision ended, the valley appeared to collapse. Valco told F of the deep respect the people of Keelia had for nature and explained he had shown her the ritual because her master had roots on the planet. Later, F and Valco discussed how the Separatists had exploited Keelia and stripped it of its resources. When Valco commented on the loss that war brought, F remembered her master's death.^[1]

A wedding of mourning[]

"I understand the grief of the village runs deep. Imagine being imprisoned by invaders to save your grandpa."

―Valco^[1]

F-the-village-bride — F and Valco attend the wedding

That night, F and Valco attended Asu and Haru's wedding in Meevai Village, where they sat outside at low tables. F noted that it seemed wrong, but Valco told her celebrations were meant to be shared with a large group. A villager offered them both drinks, which they accepted. Valco and the villager discussed the circumstances surrounding the wedding, explaining that raiders with reprogramed Separatist battle droids had demanded the village chief as collateral, but that Haru had volunteered to go in his place and would be taken the next morning. Another villager apologized for the villager bothering them, though Valco said he understood.^[1]

Haru's younger sister Saku then stood and shouted at Haru, attempting to persuade her to fight back. When Haru refused to allow them to, Saku and a group of other villagers who supported her left the wedding. As they did, Valco commented to F that Saku reminded him of her. F responded she knew what he was trying to do, which Valco replied to by claiming he did not care about her code.^[1]

Making a choice[]

"I have a bad feeling about this."
"You think I'm being reckless?"

―F and Haru^[1]

IzumaSaku-VillageBride — F freezes Izuma's blaster bolt, saving Saku

Later that night, F stood in the forest and^[1] meditated by using the Force to levitate small rocks.^[9] She was approached by Haru, who noticed F could also feel the Magina, the local name for the Force. F expressed doubts about Haru's decision to give herself to the raiders, but Haru remained resolute and explained that not doing so would put the village at risk. Asu arrived, and Haru added that she would not be alone before leaving with her husband. After they departed, F saw a brief vision of a red lightsaber and heard Sidious scream.^[1]

As the sun rose the next morning, F used a knife to cut her Padawan braid and removed her mask, letting both fall to the ground. Just outside the village, its inhabitants gathered as the raiders arrived to take Haru, who approached them along with Asu to give herself up. Lord Izuma, the leader of the raiders, then revealed that^[1] his^[3] forces had captured Saku and other villagers who had attempted to resist. He drew his blaster pistol and aimed it at Saku, intending to execute her for resisting. Izuma fired at point-blank range, but F, who by that point had arrived behind Asu and Haru, used the Force to freeze the blaster bolt before it could reach Saku. Izuma, as well as Asu and Haru, looked at F with surprise, and the Jedi sent the bolt back into Izuma's hand, causing him to fall to the ground and drop his blaster pistol. F stepped in front of the couple and spoke about the way the people of Keelia lived in harmony with nature and the Force.^[1]

Defeating the raiders[]

"What are you? Some kind of a monster?"
"I am a Jedi."

―Izuma and F^[1]

FvsIzuma-VillageBride — F faces off against Izuma

Izuma ordered his forces to fire, but Valco began shooting at them from atop a nearby cliff. After running out of ammunition, Valco threw his helmet to the ground below. It propelled itself into Izuma's starship and caused it to explode, deactivating Izuma's battle droids and causing his remaining forces to flee. Izuma scrambled to pick up a blaster from the ground, then grabbed Haru and held the blaster to her while screaming at F. She responded by declaring herself to be a Jedi and igniting her lightsaber. After a few moments, F used a device in her shoe to propel herself toward Izuma^[1] with super-human speed^[10] and cut off his blaster arm before he could react. The raider collapsed as F remained crouched behind him.^[1]

Later, a group of villagers gathered as F shook hands with Haru. F then departed in her ship, and as she piloted it away, the villagers waved at her and Valco removed his helmet to look up at it as she flew overhead. After leaving the planet, F jumped to hyperspace.^[1]

Some time later, F encountered a group of children. At some point, after a refugee ship she was aboard was intercepted by the Empire, F confronted Shad-Rah.^[4]

Personality and traits[]

"Know something? She reminds me of you."

―Valco, comparing Saku to F^[1]

F was a young^[2] human with black hair, light skin, dark blue eyes, and a scar on her face.^[1] She was traumatized after her master's death and was left without guidance or a purpose. F struggled with her identity and was unsure of which side of the Force she would fall.^[3] She was cautious^[1] and isolated herself behind her mask.^[3] When F arrived on Keelia, she was drawn into conflict and forced to decide whether to reveal herself.^[7] Valco gently guided her without pushing her,^[3] and after making her choice she was resolute. She cut her Padawan braid, which marked her as a student, indicating she was ready to become the master of her destiny.^[11] Valco compared F to^[1] the headstrong^[3] Saku,^[1] and F saw something of herself in her as well.^[3]

Powers and abilities[]

"Can you feel the Magina as well?"

―Haru, to F^[1]

As a Jedi, F was Force-sensitive. She used telekinesis while meditating and used Force stasis to save Saku.^[1]

Equipment[]

"It doesn't suit you, that mask."

―Valco, to F^[1]

F wielded a yellow lightsaber with a thin blade that curved to a point. She wore white robes under a black cloak and wore blue clothing over her legs. She wore a mask to cover her face, a gray ring on her finger, and a Padawan braid. Her shoes were gray and contained a device she used to propel her forward. F piloted a clone Z-95 starfighter.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Overview[]

"F brings a sense of serene calm to this piece. ‘The Village Bride’ is as much about the natural world, customs, traditions, and a new and unexpected way people might worship and wield the Force. It’s a meditative story, almost a tone poem, as F reflects on what is happening in front of her, but also on her own tragic past"

―Josh Rimes^[7]

F first appeared in "The Village Bride," a non-canon short film directed by Hitoshi Haga, written by Haga and Takahito Oonishi, and released as part of the first volume of the Star Wars: Visions series. The animated short, produced by Kinema Citrus Co., was released on Disney+^[1] on September 22, 2021.^[12] Prior to the short's release, F was first pictured in a video uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel on July 3, 2021,^[13] and she was first mentioned, albeit indirectly, in a StarWars.com article the same day.^[14] F was then identified in another StarWars.com article published on August 17 of that year. She is voiced by Asami Seto in the original Japanese and by Karen Fukuhara in the English dub.^[12]

Haga complimented Seto's performance and was sorry she had so few lines. He described F and Haru and their chemistry as the key of the story and said they ended up taking over the story about nature he wanted to do.^[15] Oonishi said that in Star Wars, individuals could often embody both good and evil or light and dark, which is the struggle he wanted for F.^[3] Executive producer Josh Rimes described F as mysterious and said she brought a sense of serene calm to the short, comparing it to a tone poem as F reflected on her past as well as what was occurring in front of her. Rimes also explained that F's mask and cloak both literally and figuratively hid her from her past trauma.^[7] In the short, F became an observer and guest at Asu and Haru's wedding after happening upon them in the forest, which was inspired by Akira Kurosawa's^[3] 1990^[16] film Dreams.^[3]

At the Star Wars: Visions panel at Celebration Japan on April 19, 2025, it was announced that F will appear in "The Lost Ones", a sequel to "The Village Bride" that will release on October 29, 2025 as part of the third volume of Visions.^[17]

Design[]

"I was highly conscious of what F would wear. Is F Japanese or not? Is F a man or a woman? I wanted to keep it ambiguous."

―Shiori Tani^[3]

F was designed by Shiori Tani.^[15] While visualizing her, Tani was highly conscious of what she would wear, and wanted to keep it ambiguous as to whether F was Japanese or not, and whether she was a man or woman. F's clothes were based on traditional Japanese hakama, and her mask was based on menpō jaw armor.^[3] During the process of creating the character, the staff at Kinema Citrus dressed up like F to test her costume design. Producer Kanako Shirasaki loved the combination of F's hakama and boots,^[7] and Haga also praised Tani's design.^[15]

Early in development, Haga wanted to give F a classic send-off in a heroic ship such as an X-wing. However, because of the time period the short took place in, traditional X-wings could not be used, and Matt Martin of the Lucasfilm Story Group instead suggested that F's ship be a Z-95.^[18] F's lightsaber was designed by Takeshi Takakura and has a distinct Japanese sword motif, similar to the Mandalorian Darksaber. Unlike traditional lightsabers, it has a thin blade like a katana.^[3]
