As the story takes place during a scene of [i]Revenge of the Sith[/i], the Galactic Republic is currently engaged with the Separatists, formally known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, the war is virtually over due to the recent deaths of both Count Dooku and General Grievous, the main leaders of the CIS war machine. 

As Gat and Sep (our GM) mentioned, the Jedi Order currently trains its members from a young age. We know from [i]The Phantom Menace[/i] that the Jedi Council even rejected Anakin Skywalker for training due to his age, only relinquishing under pressure from Obi-Wan Kenobi. Most any exception to the 5 year age barrier would challenge on-screen canon and make for a nonsensical story. 

Ultimately, like Gat said, the decision rests with our GMs, but you might benefit from considering what your character would be like if they had grown up in the Jedi Temple. Your character, as written, is one that has already had many life experiences, but imagine the possibilities of writing a character with none. Their first foray into the greater world is ushered out by the pain and fear of Order 66. That's what we're writing here. 

To the rest of you, apologies for not posting. Jake and Caboose, I know I owe you responses, just hold tight. I have an exam this week and a group project, but I'll try to manage a post out tomorrow.
