Jedi during the Rebellion?

[Chabit Rane]

I agree with you on that Akari. For one, whats the fun in a game if you don't have a chance at all of succeeding. I know I would not want to play. I also don't like playing in a game when I don't have a chance to fail too.

[Akari]

Ok, thats a little less severe then what I originally thought. Jedis can become incredibly powerful and should be restricted to the full extend of the rules. As mentioned before I do play one myself in a campaign and its a lot of fun. A young Padawan that is, without a current master and about 2 dice in all force skills and no lightsaber of course. Pretty much everybody else is far more useful in conflicts, but I manage to come up with some good plans now and then and its been a lot of fun and quite a challenge to play her.

Even some of her teammembers don't know about her powers, and I would think (hope?) they are still beyond what the emperor would sense, so I still have some hope for her survival.

So long as your Jedi doesn't do anything obvious ("Hey, Vader! I'm a Jedi!") and steers clear of the occasional High Inquisitor, Sith Lord, or Emperor, you should be ok.

Low-intensity Force use is the key. Don't do anything flashy or power-intensive, or if you do, make certain you're far from anyone likely to pick it up.

I am listening to the book Dark Lord - Rise of Darth Vader. In it it has where there are like 5 or 6 jedi that are together and survive the end of the story. It seems The Emporer and Vader can care less at the end of the story.

It is a good story.

What is it with arch-villains and arrogance? It gets them every time.

I agree. It was a good story. Gave a little closure to the Anakin / Vader transformation.

I've heard that whole trilogy is good; I need to read it sometime soon.

Anyway, as for Jedi during the Rebellion, I'm playing one in each of two different games right now; one about a year after EPI III, and one about six months after EPI III.

The one further into the timeline is only 15 years old, has managed to be assigned to the crew of DuCass' Dream, and has been adventuring with them. One of the other newer members is a Besalisk Jedi.

Currently, the crew is in Imperial custody. Some of us were accosted on Tattooine by one of Palpatine's dark Jedi, although we don't yet know all the details about him. I imagine he was originally tracking Bandon, but my character is the one who ended up fighting him, until Qassar flew in and saved our butts. Up till that point, no one in the crew knew I was a Padawan; I'd been using the Force mainly to help me make important rolls, but nothing flashy. Even Bandon hadn't detected my Force use until we were on Tatooine.

Now, we're awaiting the arrival of Lord Vader himself, who's very interested in meeting the both of us.

This is gonna SUCK if we can't escape...

[Rasputiza]

Just one thought: weren't jedi almost utterly wiped out by Vader immediatly after Palpatine rise to the throne?
Weren't (according to the "official timeline" Yoda and Ben the only two Jedi survived?

I'd like to know how you dealt with this sort of "purist" issue (not that i'm a purist, but some of my players could easyly rise this issue...)

Vader might hape wiped out MOST of the Jedi, but surely a few of them slipped through the cracks. They have been popping backup in the EU for years.... One year after Order 66, it's quite feasible that Skyler's Jedi might still be alive and kicking (though obviously not for long). Further down the line, Jedi become a rare species indeed, with Yoda and Ben the only prominent ones.

Gry's right. My character could very well survive, but in "canon" terms would have to eventually make his way out to the Rim Territories or something, well out of the mainstream, simply because every Jedi character that is played during the Rebellion Era is a potential paradox to the main story line.

But there were plenty of Jedi descendants who survived, whether by lack of training, lack of accessibility, or even having turned to the dark side for a time. Otherwise there would have been no one to be the first class of Luke's Jedi Praxeum.

[Rasputiza]

Yes, this sounds sensible, even if (as long as it concerns the Jedi Praxeum pupils) it might be possible that new individuals strong in the Force might pop up from unexpected directions (i.e. families never before touched by the Jedy carreer: just think how Anakin was found....)...

[garhkal]

Problem is, too many of these /new\ jedi popping out of the woodwork kind of gives some of us a bad taste, as it makes those who worked to get their 'jedi hood' seem less important.

My opinion on this is that you should start a charater out as if he has no training and has kind of figured out how to float wrenches to himself that our just out of reach and what not. Nothing too tough.

I would have a problem with the GM letting someone bring a full fledged Jedi in unless it was before RoTS.
