In the story, the duo is called back to Coruscant following the destruction of Starlight Beacon, and pop up in George Mann’s Phase III kickoff novel The Eye of Darkness. “Amadeo Azzazzo, as the Padawan to Jedi Master Mirro Lox, has undergone his own trial during his time on Coruscant at the time of the Jedi callback. He’s young and eager to help, but he still has a lot to learn. And when people have a lot to learn, they can sometimes make mistakes,” Kang says. “As for Jedi Master Lox, he’s lost friends and is ready to fight, knowing that battles can bring casualties of the worst kind. And yet, he’s willing to make those sacrifices.”
According to Siglain, the characters fill a story need while also moving it forward. “Because we lost so many Jedi to the Nihil, Nameless, and Drengir, we wanted to introduce some new, noble and true Jedi Knights who are not conflicted or tempted by the dark side or dead,” he says. “Enter Jedi Master Mirro Lox and Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo.”
