Lightsaber Training Exists on Board Thanks to Pirates

One of the several experiences guests can partake in while staying at Galactic Starcruiser is a lightsaber training routine, which, when you think about it too much, is already kind of insane considering that at this point in the timeline the Jedi have been largely eradicated for the best part of 50 years. Even crazier is the actual reason there are lightsaber pods on board the Halcyon: during the era of the High Republic, Jedi Master Nib Assek and her Wookiee padawan Burryaga saved the Halcyon from a Nihil raid, and the pods were built as a thank you to them. It’s like, I don’t know, building a gym if a firefighter saved your hotel.
