A planet wounded and left to bleed out slowly.
A holy place desecrated by an uncaring, unflinching, engine of destruction and misery.
Jedha had, once upon a time, been a true haven for people who viewed the Force as something of a guide and not something to be used or abused. People who allowed it to chart the course of their lives without actively drawing on it, a sect of people neither Jedi nor Sith and all the more peaceful for it. As much as Crix enjoyed being a Jedi, he would admit that being a Jedi brought him into conflicts on a semi-regular basis but being a priest of the way of the Whills? He would have been able to connect with the Force and just relax as it guided him.
Now nobody really did that because their most sacred of locations had been ground zero for a test-shot fired by the original Death Star, hastily covered up as some kind of mining accident. Jedha had been burned down to the core through Jedha city and left to hang in space like some kind of burning bauble rather than the shining beacon of enlightenment it had once been.
Taking one of the corvettes that they Jedi had managed to salvage from the ship graveyard around the Hapan Cluster, Crix had invited other Jedi to come with him - specifically he had invited Padawans and Knights to come. Masters were, of course, invited but the main aim was to bring people who had yet to see some of the worst things in the Galaxy, feel how the Force could be cut open and left to fester.
It was horrible but it was better they face it when there wasn't a Sith Lord there actively causing it, ready to take advantage of their distraction. Crix had seen his own wounds in the Force, and worse, on Sullust but it wasn't going to be a cake walk for him either. Nodding to the crew running the ship, he moved into the cargo hold and started getting kitted out in an environment suit as he spoke to the other Jedi on the coms, either within the corvette or within their own ships.
"Alright guys, make sure you suit up in your environment suits." he ordered them firmly, "This place releases toxic gas regularly, super-heated steam and rivers of lava large enough to be called oceans. Lets think cool thoughts sentients!"
Fortunately the Force could cool them down and, well, that was a rather good teachable moment wasn't it?
