I mean, we know what you cooked up last time, so... it may not be surprising, but more really good popcorn entertainment.

The Young Jedi
Three Weeks before Order 66...
The Young Jedi Movement, was a failed political and Social Movement inside the Jedi Order. Started by a group of 70 Jedi about three weeks before the Battle of Geonosis.
The demands put forth by the group of young Jedi Padawan and knights were the allowance of Attachments and allow them to follow a much looser interpretation of the Jedi Code to allow more healthy mindsets and fairer uses of the Force. The original signers of the compact included Aayla Secuara and Barriss Offee, along with Anakin Skywalker and Ordo A'shur.
Then the war started and the attempts to negotiate grew infrequent and shorter and shorter as many of the others died and died in the war. Most of them were killed in the early days, those that had a good idea of what they were doing had lasted a bit longer.
Every now and then, the news reached his ears that another one of their friends had perished on the battlefield… and another body was added to the Catacombs of the Temple.
It got lonely at times...hence why Jaden stopped going to meetings and focusing on practicing what he preached.
"Jadan are you alright?" Riyo asked as she noticed your sighed.
"It's nothing dear...just tired all the sudden. Like everything is going to end for us all soon." You respond bitterly.
"Its not going to end...its just going to change...like life." She responded nuzzling up against you. "Come back to bed."
She was right, most Jedi worried too much about the future, Jaden had to worry about what was right in front of him now. It was all he could do now.
---------------------------------------
The movement took the young by storm for those who truly understood it. Carmen Lupin was one such individual.
If you had asked her why she joined it, she would say mostly to screw with her master and cause as much trouble as possible for the Universe in one moment and save it in the next.
She wanted to be allowed to not follow the rules for a time and LIVE her life a free individual, and it was a simple request too. But the War sapped most of her free time and the rest of it was spent with what few remaining friends she had left.
She felt less like the free spirit she wanted to be and more like the patsy of the Jedi Council that her master wanted.
Of course there was the matter of what the hell Barriss did and ruined everything and got most of them sent to literal hellholes and or got them killed.
Really the plan to change the order kinda fell apart after she bombed everything in the temple.
Really ruined everything She and the gang had done to gather support for those things to that point.
"What's the point...it will all be ruined by another faction of Jedi in a few decades." She mused bitterly as she shape changed into Mace Windu. "Your victory is pointless and fleeting, going up against everything that the Jedi stand for! What is the point of doing it at all?"
She changed back. "To allow ourselves to experience the life that Master Qui-Gon lived, trusting the Living Force as we were meant to. We are mindful of our ways, but we can't be blind to the here and the now!"
She huffed and shape changed back to her true form, before huffing and slouching onto the floor.
"Why did you stop child?" A voice caused Carman to perk up and look around. She saw the tall, armored Librarian, the fixture of the Temple Library… Master Aggruva. "That was the most entertainment I have gotten from you young ones in a year…" He started to chuckle. "Your Master Windu impersonation was spot on by the way." He stated.
"Master Aggruva." She stood up and bowed. "I apologize for such… terrible display of disrespect."
Aggruva nodded and laughed. "Why should you give respect to someone who clearly has not earned yours… Come now, I may be old but I am not like them." He said quietly.
Carman huffed. "They don't listen… all they do is spout out the same dogma we've heard our entire lives… but never give us a reason why we should follow it?"
"Have you heard of the story of the Long Defeat child." Aggruva said as he sat down next to you. "It was a tale Master Yoda told me a long time ago. One he heard from his master, and his master heard from his master before him."
"No master...the Long defeat?" She sat down next to the old librarian. "Sounds like a sad tale." She noted.
"It is a sad tale...one filled with nobility and strife, suffering and agony. A tale that is seldom told even in these halls." He said calmly.
"And why would you tell me that tale?" She asked.
"We as Jedi shall never live to see the greatest of victory over the darkside, but we have to do our part in building the foundation for that final victory." He said.
"You make it seem like we can't win." Carman said bitterly.
"No It is one we can win...but every victory over the darkside, no matter how small it may be, is but a taste of our final victory over the darkside once and for all. We will see it as we become one with the Force. As we become energy and gude the next generation to their victories, as knowledge, even as spirits connected in the Force."
"Why do you call it the Final Victory? Do we destroy the darkside?" She asked.
"No… we overcome it… and in doing so, the Jedi itself, as we know it, will be irrelevant. We no longer need to live, and train in the force as Jedi… We only need to live and train as people of the Galaxy. There is no light, or dark… just life, and everything that connects it." He stated warmly. "So do not give in to your fears and anxiety, or failure. You can fail a thousand times young one, and still win in the end."
He stood up and smiled behind his helmet, Carman was sure of it. "So… you support us, Master Aggruva?"
Aggruva nodded. "I always give support to those who need it. It is you who cannot give up on the task you believe in."
Carman nodded. "Thank you master."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1 Hour Before Order 66)
Aggruva sighed as he clutched the console.
So that was their plan all along… Prevent bringing of Balance to the Force.
You had been so blind… Yoda… Obi-Wan… they had been deceived by the others.
They knew… They knew all along… and they did nothing.
Aggruva should have seen the signs… the deals, the secret meetings. The lack of care for the younglings and padawan's as the war tore them apart.
Ahsoka's trial… Barriss' Actions against the council and then the temple itself… Anakin's groom by the Chancellor, and the lies told by the Council to Obi-Wan, and Anakin.
To Qui-Gon… Even Yoda…
Even you.
Aggruva flipped through the ledgers, the histories… even the records he had long since believed to be lost when he was on archeological adventures.
Dates, names, regions of the galaxy, even entire councils after the Russan Reformation, even the death of the Jedi Lord's and Russan itself…
Bane. The Rule of Two… It was allowed to continue, unabated.
The Jedi knew, and they did nothing.
All to prevent the Final Victory.
The destruction of both the Jedi… and the Sith.
They wanted to prevent the Balance… The Final Victory.
They were willing to destroy those who were not them… to keep power.
"Jaden, gather the Padawan to the Archives… We do not have much time." He stated quietly.
The Jedi and the Sith… They were planning their final moves…
To keep the struggle going on forever. An endless back and forth
You did not have much time now. The Council... The Sith, The Republic... It didn't matter now.
Those who did not follow the council would be destroyed.
That was why they told them all to leave, why so many Jedi were with clones, and those without were being monitored heavily by Republic Intelligence.
Anakin was in danger.
So Aggruva did the only thing he could do.
He picked up his commlink, and powered it on. "Anakin... Please, get away from the Senate Building... Get away from the Council... Get away from them all."
He then said words that would change everything. "They want to kill Padme. Palpatine has lied to us all... and the Council has too."

I'm not going to lie, this seems pretty unfair.
Is there anyway we could get a nice balance between "nothing meaningfully changes until a new hope" and "
But...why? That's ridiculous, we selected an option that will allow us to gradually change the galaxy through our characters actions and right out the bat you change it by adding a bunch if OC's and keeping the previous MC in the game.
What was the point of that vote if your just going to do whatever?

I meant to say I would be using them in omakes, that may or may not have been canon with the crazy bullshit going around.
I think you missed something... or several somethings, because the plan that won chose the option that threw canon out the window.

And I'm so... both proud and concerned.
But let's not worry about the technicalities of that situation, because It's a fun time ahead of us!

I did warn everyone that given the chance:
Why should people be surprised or even mad?
I literally spelled it out.
If that option won, I would go nuts, right?
Why should people be surprised or even mad?
I literally spelled it out.

Bottom.
Mostly. Personal Combat should 31+19=50, not 41+9=50, and Force Power should be 39+8=47, not 39+9=40.
You will have to update the front page then as the bottom is from page 15.

He didn't need to... +70 to learning rolls reading old texts allowed him to put two and two together...
But it's pretty much the same thing.
I hope Plo Koon was not part of this as well.
Or some 4d chess at the behest of the Sith.

No Aggruva is totally sane.
Doubtful, as... well no I won't say anything more.
Well, if Ordo is Windu's ex-Padawan, then I look forward to the duel between fallen master and former apprentice, preferably with Ordo calling Windu out on how, despite supposedly mastering Vaapad, Vaapad instead seems to have mastered him like everyone else who tried using it (assuming, of course, that Vaapad has anything to do with Windu's fall here).

...Since everything is different now, we can't be sure the Council members are the same.
So what happened to a certain Anzati Jedi Master in this universe, hmm?
Because Volfe Karkko as Darth Sidious would be fucking terrifying.
