Sepon Wayser

"Go and find a man named Sepon. He was once my apprentice during my teachings to the new Jedi. Not as emotionally confused or dark side tamed like Kylo Ren when I trained him, but a kind hearted man with a thick sense of an inner child growing up inside his mind. Only him can teach you the ways of the Force."

- Luke Skywalker to Rey Sepon (full name Sepon Wayser) is a Force-sensitive male human, born two years before the Battle of Endor. He was one of the new Jedi that Jedi master Luke Skywalker, the founding father of the New Republic, trained through the years to restore balance to the Force and to the entire galaxy. He is the son of Jaran and Yiva Wayser, that hailed from Alderaan. Out of all apprentices, Sepon was the most gifted padawan, with outstanding lightsabers skills that grew stronger during the course of his training with Luke. This, however, led a sentiment of jealousy from Ben Solo, Han Solo's and Leia Solo's son, that was also an apprentice of Skywalker's, which led to a sort of rivalry between Sepon and Ben. Sepon was Luke's second apprentice, being after Ben Solo. He cared a lot about his master to the point of Luke treating him as a son of his, since his parents died sometime during the Galactic Empire wars. He is an exceptional skilled Jedi warrior, guided by the Light Side of the Force, although Luke claims that he never was "perfect" due to his wacky and easy-going attitude.

After the betrayal of Ben Solo, bearing the name Kylo Ren, the new Jedi Order was destroyed. Sepon was the only apprentice that managed to escape the dark Jedi's rampage, alongisde with his master Luke. Afterwards, Luke felt the agony of having trained Ben and watching on what he became and exiled in the aquatic planet of Ahch-To. Before departing, Luke knew about the growth of the First Order and told Sepon to hide his identity as a Jedi and not use any Force powers unless in extreme measures. This way, the First Order and Kylo Ren would not be able to seek him. Luke gifted the Golden Lightsaber crystal to Sepon and told him that he was like a son to him and one of the strongest Lightsaber combatants he has ever seen and that Sepon would put it into good use.

Sepon remained hidden from civilization in Taljin, until the arrival of the force-sensitive woman Rey, sent by his old master, to be trained to become a Jedi. Arrogantly thinking that she would not make it into becoming a true Jedi in the beginning, he soon becomes a valuable person for Rey and he even recognizes that she was indeed a kind, powerful and trustworthy person, being honored to have trained her.

Background
Sepon is the only son of Jaran and Yiva Wayser. His parents were born in Alderaan and they were close friends with senator Leia Organa and her adoptive father Bail Organa. Yiva soon discovered for the first time that she was a Force-sensitive human by having a vision, in which she saw the future of her homeplanet being destroyed by a massive spacestation, the Death Star. Filled with despair, Yira tried to convince Jaran to leave Alderaan while leaving her behind so that she could warn most of the population for the planet's destiny. However, Jaran thought that Yiva was having a bad dream. To confort her, both travelled to Delaya, the twin planet of Alderaan, so that Yiva could relax and take care of their unborn child. One week later, Yiva's vision came true: the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. Yiva felt guilty that she could not save most of the population, but Jaran told her that it was not her fault and that no one could forsee its destruction, being her the only one who could but not probably possible to have saved them all. Yiva was having problems due to her pregnancy and could barely stand, enduring huge amounts of pain and heavily breathing. Meanwhile, the good hearted pirate Maz Kanata during her stay at Delaya discovered Yiva's illness and, wanting to save her and the baby, she took both Jaran and Yiva to Takotana, where Sepon was born. However, Yiva's pain from her guilt succumbed and she died from sheer illness, leaving Jaran to take care of Sepon. The whereabouts of Jaran still remains unknown.

When Sepon reached his early 10s, he soon discovered that he could "push stuff, lift stuff and jump higher than a normal human being", leaving Jaran and Maz to fully understand that he inherited his Force abilities from her mother. Maz told Jaran to let him train to be a Jedi, since the Jedi master Luke Skywalker is looking for young padawans to train to restore the Jedi Order. Maz then took Sepon to Luke Skywalker. Sepon then met Ben Solo, Luke's nephew and first apprentice, and both of them quickly developed a rivalry relationship. Luke trained both of them and some new younglings aswell. Sepon was an easy-going and a sort-of hiperactive man whilist Ben was more calm but aggressive, but Luke soon discovered that, during the course of his teachings, Sepon was learning faster than usual on how to use a Lightsaber. His skills became honed to every apprentice of Luke's, except Ben who grew jeolous of his fast learning skills. Sepon and Luke quickly developed a father-son bond during the course of his Jedi training.

Several years later, after the betrayal of Ben Solo, that embraced the Dark Side and changed his name to Kylo Ren, Sepon managed to escape the dark Jedi's rampage but without a brief lightsaber confrontation from both of them. Knowing that Kylo was using the Dark Side during their battle, Luke told Sepon to stop the confrontation and to leave the place. The battle ended with in a draw when Sepon force pushed Kylo a few meters away, allowing Sepon to run away with his master. Able to escape from the growth of the First Order and Kylo Ren, Luke gifted the Golden Lightsaber crystal to Sepon and told him that he was like a son to him and one of the strongest Lightsaber combatants he has ever seen and that Sepon would put it into good use. Feeling guilty for the fall of the new Jedi Order under from the hands of his nephew and former apprentice, Luke exiled himself in Ahch-To while Sepon also exiled himself in Taljin.

Teaching Rey to become a Jedi
"He is strong with the force. And so is her. When she came to me in Ahch-To, I immediately remembered Sepon. Noble warriors are some of the examples we need in these desperate times."

- Luke Skywalker to Maz Kanata

Several years after, Sepon remained hidden from civilization in Taljin, a tundra-like planet. Sepon endured the extreme cold weather and used it to perfect his skills as a Jedi. Knowing that he was too old and unable to fully unlock Rey's potential, Luke sent her to find Sepon in Talkin. After the arrival of Rey, he trained her by his master's bidding. In the beginning, both of them constantly argue due to the differences of character, attitude and, to some point, even gender. However, Rey then became a strong, faithfull and loyal padawan to Sepon, which he acknowledges that and finally understands why his master sent her to his training. Sepon then encountered Kylo Ren for the second time after nearly ten years and the two of them dueled once again. Once again, the battle ended in a draw when Sepon watched Rey fighting a group of stormtroopers and emerge victorious, having obtained an important victory for the Resistance, then he jumped into a cliff purposely. Kylo Ren believed that Sepon thought could not beat him and shamelessly killed himself.

Able to survive the fall when he reached a close branch several meters above the ground, he then reappeared inside a Resistance base in an unknown planet. He regrouped with Rey and Leia, hugging both of them. Finn was also present and, never seeing this man in his life, he thought Rey and Sepon were in a romantic affair until Rey told him that he was her master that Luke told about. Sepon told Rey that the final battle is yet to come, and that she was the one that was going to confront Kylo Ren for one last time and defeat him.

Abilities
Sepon is exceptionly in Lightsaber battles. Luke acknowledged that Sepon was "one of a kind" and that "possibly no one could match him in clear Lightsaber dueling". However, he is still yet to train his abilities of using Force powers, such as Force push and Force grip, in which still remains imperfect.

He yields a golden Lightsaber crystal which as gifted by his master Luke. According to legend, golden crystals are gifted to those who are excel in Lightsaber combat and fight to remove the Dark Side from this galaxy.
