Fren Eony

"Fren Eony was a Padawan until he was in his thirties."
"I don't want to be famous for being late. I don't mean there's anything wrong with his path."

―Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar^[1]

Fren Eony was a Force-sensitive individual who served as a Jedi of the Jedi Order. After becoming a Padawan, Eony did not take his Jedi Trials until he was in his thirties, ultimately being knighted and becoming a Jedi Knight. Eventually, Eony became famed among other Padawans for taking his trials so late.^[1]

In 134 BBY,^[2] during the High Republic Era, the Padawans Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar spoke about Fandar's desire to undertake his trials, with Fandar believing it was not impressive to go through them at the usual age. In response, Lon reminded Fandar about Eony, to which he snipped back at her stating with judgement that he did not want to be famous for being later in taking his trials. Fandar then corrected himself, noting that he did not mean there was anything wrong with the path Eony had taken but that he felt ready to go through his own at that point.^[1]

Notes and references

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 ^1.5 The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown
↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY.
