Walks findsfinds silence to be enjoyable as well, yet a rarity on family vacations.

EDIT: Apparently literacy is a rarity as well. I pull the "I'm on my phone" card.

I leave you primitives alone for two hours

Dungeons and (Krayt) Dragons, Star Wars: The Price of Freedom

KOTOR II is the best thing in the entire Star Wars Legends canon IMO. There's this really cool two hour long Youtube video on the philosophy behind one of the central characters in the game and how it interprets the Jedi and the Sith approaches to the Force if anyone has entirely too much free time on their hands. It's just well-written and raises a lot of cool points about a lot of Star Wars stuff that hadn't really been challenged before (for example, how reliance on the Force makes Jedi weak, how Jedi aren't invincible, flaws in their philosophies, etc). I just got through replaying it for the first time in years, it was on sale pretty cheap. Okay done being an Obsidian shill.

Jedi Sentinel would be pretty swanky. Not that a purely offensive Force character couldn't be in the RP, it would just require more of a stretch. Not to min-max, but I'm interested to see what kind of characters we get and if we have any blind spots in terms of stats. I think it'd be hilarious if none of us wound up having one really crucial skill.

Correct me if I'm wrong but general grievous didn't posses any force abilities, being almost 100% robot, but he still could wipe the floor with any jedi 1v1 or even 1v5 in lightsaber duel. His only weakness was to superb force users like Mace Windu.
So, with the right training and cybernetic enhancements, even if they don't have any force powers, anyone could wield a lightsaber and win against a force user.
On that note, would you allow a character similar to general grievous to play as?

KOTOR II's central message was basically "Jedi are very easy to kill if you know what you're doing, and the Force is not all-powerful", which I'm sure Grievous was partially inspired by. That being said the guy was personally trained by Count Dooku and probably had millions of credits sunk into his cybernetic capabilities alone. I don't think any character with that level of training would be able to fit with a semblance of realistic balance into the RP, and would also have a huge bounty on their head for killing that many Jedi/Sith. A group attempting to maintain a degree of covertness will likely not want a war criminal with them; for example, I politely refuse Joseph Kony's offers to join me and my buddies on a road trip.

Cybernetic enhancements are not out of the realm of possibility, but as with about anything in this RP, it should have realistic and fleshed-out (no pun intended) drawbacks. My character is a physically and psychically powerful individual with great skill at healing, but is aging, has very limited knowlege of the universe at large, is not inclined towards violence, has no formal training, and has language issues. She has her uses, but needs the rest of the crew in order to round out her weaknesses and capitalize on her strengths. General Grievous doesn't need anyone else because he can turn into a blender and carve up anything in his path. As a crew of smugglers, some muscle is ideal, but the captain probably isn't looking for a Jedi-killer for hire - what would be more useful is someone who can open locks, someone who knows a guy, etc, etc.

There is potential for a Jedi Killer character, but it would be more in line as someone from KOTOR II such as

as opposed to General Grievous. The former has uses and versatility on a smuggler's crew; the latter is kind of a one-trick pony that can't really be balanced.

I would lean more towards the Gand - any character with innate personality-altering characteristics I'm not super inclined towards, as I feel it may upset the balance.
