If anyone was curious, Jedha looks like this now.

Jedha

If I remember right, the Imperials reported it as an it a mining accident.
I wonder if Scarif looks like that now, it was a really pretty place.

@Skyrte

I think Scarif might have been a total loss. They fired on her pretty hard. But maybe not, because Scarif still didn't explode like Alderaan

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

@Burning Kitty Yeah. I guess I should have been more specific. Jedha City is going to be blown to smithereens lol

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

@Ghost Shadow I went ahead and made a follow up post :) I'm enjoying setting this up.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

I've been thinking about a way to reign in the RP just a bit, and I was thinking about maybe trying to have most of the characters meet up on the same planet, and if others want to go their own way, that's fine. What would be neat to me, is how the different characters (because they are all so much different) can play into one common goal. They may not get along. They may hate each other. But in the end, with the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, you're either with one or the other, or you end up collateral. I would love to see some of the people who would normally be collateral to team up with each other.

I believe that myself, Ghost Shadow, and Skelm are all around the same area. Anyone else who wants to head to that area is more than welcome, because Jedha isn't end game. Eventually, as we all know, Jedha gets blown to smithereens. So, before that happens, the characters will probably catch wind of how bad the city is falling, and will leave...thus, a common goal.

I like her :) I know we've talked about her, but I will say, she's accepted.

As the creature answered her, she raised an eyebrow, truly not expecting an answer. She finished off her tea, and sat her dishes back onto the tray. Yomi slowly munched on his food as Kit's gaze switched back to the stranger.

"I haven't seen you around. How long have you been here?", she asked, her attention changing mid sentence to watch a group of Stormtroopers stomping by. A few of their heads turned to look her over, as if her appearance alone was a threat to them. One tightened his grip on his blaster, nearly raising it, before continuing his march. Kit scoffed, her own hand having gripped the small blaster at her hip, just in case.

"No.", Yomi muttered, waving a finger at her. When her hand didn't move from the blaster, Yomi leaned toward her, picking up his cane. He struck her arm harshly with the heavy piece of wood, causing Kit to growl, but to settle, "I said no. No violence here."

TK-6158 was hungry. He was hungry and tired of patrolling this horrible city. It was so dirty, and lost. It was depressing, if he was honest. It reminded him way too much of the last time he had stepped foot on Mandalore.

Speaking of Mandalore.

As his patrole group rounded the corner of the "abandoned" temple, Valek caught a glimpse of something he hadn't noticed before, a Mandalorian helmet. Towering over said helmet, was a girl. Her facial features looked familiar, but only vaguely. She didn't seem hostile, but part of him knew she had to be. A Mandalorian in a city like this? She had to be a mercenary, or worse, a bounty hunter. Mandalorian bounty hunters were impulsive and loud. They made bigger messes for the Empire than anything else, and left cleanup for those that they supposedly supported. Along with her was a Trandoshan. Partners? Both together threw up a red flag. He growled low, too low to transmit through his vocal receiver, and began to raise his weapon.

His partner, TK-3147 reached a quick hand out, lowering the barely raised weapon gently, with a slow shake of his head. Huffing, Valek burned the image of the girl's armor into his brain, and continued his march.

@Alfhedil Yeah, as long as it's pretty beat up, repainted (away from the diplomatic red) and is more of a recycled smuggling ship, then I think that would be fine. It's not unheard of, since smugglers have used them on and off since the Clone Wars, and possibly even further back.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

@TheUnknowable That could work. Jedi temples that were thought to be emptied out were most likely abandoned by the Empire. So, it wouldn't hard to believe that would be a good place to set up shop for a rebel cell, even if it could be easily found, it would be so 'out in the open' that the Empire wouldn't necessarily suspect it.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

So, apparently that was one of the few things left in the current canon from that era. Just be aware that the caves would either be heavily guarded or may be decimated. So, the idea that a single crystal is calling out to someone wouldn't be farfetched at all.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

They found a temple similar to what you're talking about on Lothal, however it had already been pillaged by the time we are at in the RP. There are still crystals floating around but they are extremely rare.

For example, when Ezra finds his crystal, Kanan is extremely surprised and nervous because of how rare they are, and because the crystal called to him, almost as if it were a person.

So your idea could work, just know that the temple or cave on Jedha is heavily guarded and would be a tiny bit difficult to get into due to the Empire harvesting every ounce of kyber they can, albeit slowly.

Also, I will allow legacy crystals but sparingly. The kybers being rare and sacred is what makes them so special within the new canon. So your legacy crystals are fine.
