Well, as it is relevant: what kinds of milestones does your character think it's important to mark?

Ellen marks birthdays, and anniversaries of major events, and religious holidays. Granted, as a Brotherhood of Steel chaplain, religious holidays include things like the Week of Waiting and the Day of the Black Rains (the time between the actual Great War and the first fall of ash and fallout-contaminated rain afterwards). But that still counts. She also thinks it's important to mark and commemorate the achievement of rank, especially for people at the bottom of the ladder, as she thinks it's more significant to go from a hopeful but still-likely-to-fail initiate to a full, if somewhat uncertain, Knight than it is to go from Paladin to Senior Paladin. Births and deaths, also, need to be marked where possible. And achieving major difficult goals.

I feel like Ahsoka (and by extension the Jedi) doesn't celebrate or see milestones exactly. I can see her reminiscing, but not celebrating events.

ETA: Actually, the Jedi do mark when a member advances in experience and rank; so padawan to knight to master, and then when a jedi passes.

Sabine does birthdays, at least via my head canon. It seems like the Mandalorians would celebrate other things like victories or family celebrations, but I don't have any canon sources for what those might be. About the only milestone I remember from her show was Empire Day and that seems more like a day she aims to ruin.

I'll see if other pups wanna speak up later.

We've mentioned this before, but in our headcanon, neither Twi'leks nor Jedi celebrate birthdays. I feel like we had some reason for this beyond my made up history for it and also thinking it'd be hilarious for their crew to have birthdays and both Hera and Kanan to be like "...oh. We don't... know what... to do about that..."

The main Twi'lek "milestones" I've made up are Name Day, when at around four years old some Twi'leks officials become part of a clan and along with that take on a name and gender, and less fixed rituals around the construction, addition to, and passing down of a kalikori.


While not celebrations, Jedi do have delineated milestones in terms of passing from youngling to apprentice to knight to master, assuming a Jedi takes that path and not another.
