After watching a review of the seriously disappointing “The Last Jedi” in which the guy said that he refuses to accept anything after Ep 3 I realized that the prequel didn’t exactly fit with the established lore either. So, I would like to try and reboot the prequels with some lore that fits the original films a bit better.

Everything from Ep 1 forward is not cannon as far as this RP is concerned. Unfortunately, this includes KOTOR. I may use elements from the other films/ games/ EU though.

Midiclorians: Bacteria which have a symbiotic relationship with most Sapient species in the galaxy. They feed on natural neurotransmitters and nutrients from the host’s blood and can metabolize the Force energy in the their body. In exchange, they release chemicals into the host’s body which lets them metabolize the Force as well. This allows people who can use the Force to restore their own biological energy from the Force, giving them enhanced stamina. The Midiclorian levels in the bloodstream is a good indicator of the levels of the neurotransmitters which alter brain development to cause Force Sensitivity, so a simple count is a good basic indicator of a being’s relative natural Force connection.

The Force: A scientifically verifiable phenomenon which exists in a layer of subspace near this universe. All living beings have natural biological energy. Upon death, most of these races release this energy into a nearby level of subspace. This energy blends together to form a quasi-sentient, quasi-sapient energy Field known as The Force. Some people, known as Force Sensitives, have a natural ability to connect to the Force while still alive, allowing them to transfer energy from The Force to themselves or their environment. This natural ability can be synthetically introduced to prepubescent or embryonic beings which are not Force Sensitive through the introduction of a synthetic version of the neurotransmitters which cause Force Sensitivity to develop in Force Sensitivities. Purely artificial means of tapping into the Force have been under research for over twenty thousand years, but no one has yet fully succeeded.



The Jedi Order: A Force using group in the Republic government, they work to stop threats to the republic and its citizens, relying on what they call “the Light side of the Force.” This Light Side is largely concerned with helping others at the expense of self. The Jedi have three branches. The Guardians, under Master Mace Windu, work as police and security, fighting threats directly. The Sentinels, under Master Yoda, work as an intelligence agency, looking for criminal and Dark Side activity and working “behind the scenes” to end them. The Consulars, under Master Qui-Gon Jinn, work as diplomats and advisers, working to prevent crime, war, and injustice from arising.

There is civil unrest on the mid rim world of Naboo.

The planet has been in an economic depression due to price decreases in the rare metals and spice which is mined in the Naboo system, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems has used the situation to spread propaganda among the citizens, seeking to convince the system to join them.

Jedi Master Yoda, head of the Jedi Sentinels, has sensed a dark side plot in the system and sent his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi with Jedi Master Qui-gon Jinn, head of the Jedi Consulars, as he travels to Naboo to seek a solution to this problem.

I'm down for a Jedi.

@Burning Kittycool. Any idea which branch? Force Sensitive or not? I may have a bit of a plot about a rift between Force Sensitive Jedi and non Force Sensitive Jedi (in this version, the nons would need to take daily injections, similar to diabetics).

This version of the Jedi don't care if you get married or maintain a connection to your family, only if it interferes with your duties.

Never heard of Jedi that we’re not Force sensitive. Definitely Force sensitive. Seems a little blasphemous.

Definitely would not be one that hung out in temples more than absolutely necessary, always impatient to leave it and pomp involved there. He/She believes the Jedi’s place is among the commoners helping, protecting, serving, not in meetings & debates.

Prequelilogy Jedi were far to political for my taste.

Possibly interested in this. I never had a personal issue with the prequels Don't kill me please but a reboot could be fun.

@Burning KittyThe idea of Force sensitives being the only kind of Force user wasn't really part of Lucas's original plan. I believe originally it was just a form of training, but some people were naturally more gifted with it, like Luke, Anakin, and Leia.

@Pyromaniacwolfcool.

I'm down as a Sith if that is alright

@DragonofTheWestThe only "Sith" with proper training would be Palpatine and Dooku. Dooku is a minor noble in the Republic that resigned from the Jedi, and both will need to defect.

You can always be from the Empire but not have formal training, or just be a dark jedi.

Will we be allowed to make Separatist commanders aswell? If not I'll probably make some kind of dark Jedi or something.

The Separatists in this will be a faction in the Republic which is made up of systems that wish to join the CIS, for political, economic, or other reasons.
You could be a commander of either a CIS ship/ fleet or a Separatist planet's ship/fleet if you want. There is a CIS droid control ship at Naboo, but it is civilian. It is there to introduce droid workers to Naboo's factories to get the leaders of industry to join the Separatist movement on Naboo.

I love the Prequelilogy except the Jedi council came off as politicians who happened to be Jedi, not as Jedi who had to deal with politicians.

Honestly I like the idea that Jedi have became less as monks and more politicians. It makes their downfall seem more justified because , lets be honest, the Sith are the better of the two at political maneuvering (look at palpie) and trying to play that game against them is doomed to end badly.

On a side note; are we considering characters similar to Ventress and Savage from the Clone Wars as more Dark Jedi over Sith? Like, will we be able to play as a force user sided with the Sith Empire Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just want to clarify things before I get any ideas

Savage in canon & Legends is Sith not Dark Jedi. Savage can't be Dark Jedi since he was never a Jedi.

Ventress in canon & Legends is a former Jedi Padawan & Sith, so she could be a Dark Jedi.

As for this RP that is debatable.

Would said Imperial eventually be allowed to "grow" into the Sith/ Darth title?

@PyromaniacwolfForce training is a state secret in the Republic, and isn't a "technology" the Sith or Hutts possess, as the Hutts never developed it and the Sith lost it when the last Sith Lord died while keeping it as a state secret there too.

The CIS have a few Grey traditions, such as the Grey Palladins. Their research isn't as advanced as the Jedi, so you wouldn't have access to the more advanced techniques, but they could train you.

I may have Palp be trained by them before research the Dark side himself. Or he might have bits of ancient Sith writings that only make sense to someone that is properly traimed and uses the dark side.

@DragonofTheWestin title, sure. But you wouldn't have access to the ancient Sith teachings without rediscovering them or a major archeological discovery.

Basically, in both terms of raw power and esoteric knowledge the best people in Hutt space are high padawan level(they learned instinctively), the best people in the Empire are low knight (some can even create weak force lightning), the best in the CIS are high knight. Only the Jedi still have the knowledge to train a true master of the Force.

What Empire? This set in the Prequelilogy before the Empire?

@Burning Kitty I believe in this AU the Sith Empire wasn't destroyed but was actually pushed back to the edges of the outer rim. Could be wrong but that's what I get from the faction descriptions.
