- "Bandages?"
"The Balm of the Luminous." - ―Dooku and Lene Kostana
The Balm of the Luminous was a type of bandage with some words woven into it.[1]
Around 228 BBY,[2] Tey Sirrek applied the Balm of the Luminous to Sskeer to help him in dealing with his Magrak Syndrome and his guilt over Goonral Monshi's death.[3]
Around 82 BBY,[4] Jedi Padawans Dooku and Sifo-Dyas, along with Jedi Master Lene Kostana, used the Balm of the Luminous to get rid of the dark side of the Force they had contracted during a ritual and to bind again to the light side of the Force.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Balm of the Luminous was mentioned in the audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost, written by Cavan Scott[1] and published on April 30, 2019.[5] As Dooku: Jedi Lost was released as an audio-only story, the spelling of Balm of the Luminous remained unconfirmed[1] until it was given in the script release of the audio drama[6] on October 1, 2019.[5]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, it must be set in 228 BBY. The High Republic: Tempest Breaker establishes the events of the comic series Star Wars: The High Republic (2023) occur concurrently to the events of Temptation of the Force, therefore meaning they must take place in the same year.
- ↑ The High Republic (2023) 7
- ↑ Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know gives the age of Dooku at the time of the First Battle of Geonosis as eighty years old. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Geonosis to 22 BBY, placing Dooku's birth year in 102 BBY. The script of Dooku: Jedi Lost states that Dooku is twenty years old when he utilized the Balm of the Luminous, placing the event around 82 BBY.
