Yeah, hunting for the holocron is more ideal and what you have in mind is exactly what I was thinking. I'm just cracking up thinking of an opening post where these green Rebel Alliance officers are gathered around a table at a cantina talking up stories that depict our group as these BAMF legends that started the whole movement. Until some really old drunk ass randomly slams his cup down and tells them what really happened, segueing into our posts. 

(This is thinking too far ahead) but at one point when the plot gets steered in the more serious direction, we uncover a missing data cache that unlocks an assimilated consciousness of Luke Skywalker (like Jor-El from man of steel), who points us to an outer rim colony. There, we find the last hidden temple where the remaining jedi are. Only, all of them are dead by the time we get to them. All except for one, who is clearly dumb as shit, but has potential to be the greatest jedi ever. The actual ghost skywalker will then resonate with this jedi, but like I said, he is so stupid that it frustrates skywalker to the point where he nearly turns to the darkside, forcing us, who has zero knowledge of anything force/jedi related to become his half assed masters. Big chunks of the jedi compendium are still missing, so we start bullshitting to fill in the blanks. Not only did we kickstart the new rebellion, but we just inadvertently enabled a very dumb man to eventually become the grandmaster of a new jedi order.
