Kyoshi

I been thinking Kyoshi died at 230. At that old age how did she fight. Or was it possible she like Bumi kept in shape?

Its revealed in the recent kyoshi novel that she was able to live such a long time because of a spiritual/meditative technique that essentially pauses aging. So she very well could have had the body of a 40 year old at age 230.

That sort of thing never sat well with me. If only because, if anybody could do it, WHY DOES NOBODY LEARN HOW?

Well it was a secret technique only a few people knew about.

It was the pathway to many abilities that other avatars considered unnatural.

Makes me think about the fact that Kyoshi would absolutely use the dark side of the force

I think she would be a Gray Jedi or someone who balanced the dark and light of the force

Same, she would've been a Qui-Gon Jinn sort of character who was on the light side but understood there was value in the dark side and didn't ignore it.

She is literally that if you see the daofei side as the dark side. At first she hates it, at the end of the book she understands that there are things that aren't that bad in that world.
