I inserted Samurai as a homage to George Lucas inspiration for the Jedi. It doesn't hurt anything. 

Lolz Too Sentimental? What? [/quote]

"Inspiration" No actual Samurai exist in the Star Wars Galaxy.

Too sentimental, he has belongings from his parents, from his friends. That is attachment which is forbidden for a Jedi. One Item I could let you get away with.

It isn't a family link. It's a notion that such masters have been loyal to the Order for years. [/quote]

What such Masters? If it's his parents were masters and were breaking the rules they wouldn't be treated lightly just for being masters. In fact if anything they would be dealt with more harshly, so that youngers did not follow in their stead.

Fine. I don't see the problem so much with that as not every Jedi has or will get the exact same but fine. [/quote]

Because you all go nicely to Illum and get your crystals, though this bit is no longer relevant as your mum is no longer Jedi and you won't even know her.

Except...they can and would be because they are my npcs with their own motives. [/quote]

Okay so your dark Jedi weren't typical and didn't kill Mace and your Padawan. The Council would [i]Still[/i] track them down in order to arrest them or kill them if necessary. Why?

1) The Sith were in the galaxy and the Jedi Order wouldn't want them gaining more power.
2) One of these Dark Jedi were capable of beating Mace Windu

Sureeee these Dark Jedi might be your NPCs. But you cannot dictate the actions of the Jedi Council.

That doesn't mean he has to have them.[/quote]

If he doesn't I need reasons [i]why[/i].

Trials of Knighthood tend to be different at times depending on the jedi.[/quote]

Yes, they're different. In fact each trial was different but they still had to do five trials.

The five Trials: Skill, Courage, Spirit, Flesh, and Insight.

You can't ignore this bit.

I will argue for my character or at least certain points because I got things to back that up and/or just doesn't sit right with me either. Though I'll probably create a whole new character anyway.[/quote]

Thankyou Kal El. You have no idea how refreshing that is, I am sorry if I seem harsh. I typically try to help players re-order their CS to work out for me. However that has burned me in the past so that is why I am showing no quarter.
