"Vernestra Rwoh. I thought I told you to forget my name after Avon's funeral."
"I know, but I need your help."
―Deva Lompop and Vernestra Rwoh[2]

Between around 170 BBY and around 160 BBY,[1] during the High Republic Era, Avon's funeral took place on the Wild Space planet Ingae. The funeral was held for the human female scientist Avon Sunvale, who had passed away, and was attended by the Mirialan Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh and the Shani Deva Lompop who were both close friends of Sunvale. After the funeral, Lompop told Rwoh to forget about her and the two parted ways.[2]

Around 160 BBY,[1] the Mirialan sought out the Shani as she was in need of her help finding the scientist Florinda Jackard. After Rwoh arrived at Deva's asteroid, Lompop's alarm systems were set off and the Shani threatened to kill whoever had come to her home, unaware that it was the Mirialan. Once Rwoh told Lompop it was her, the Shani reminded the Mirialan what she had told her after the funeral, to which Rwoh stated she remembered, but informed Lompop she needed her help.[2]

Behind the scenes

Avon's funeral was mentioned in The Acolyte: Wayseeker, a 2025 novel written by Justina Ireland.[2]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 The events of The Acolyte: Wayseeker take place around 160 BBY per the reasoning here. The Acolyte: Wayseeker states that Avon's funeral took place during Vernestra Rwoh's travels as a Wayseeker which began a decade earlier, therefore meaning it occurred between around 170 BBY and around 160 BBY.
