YOUR LIGHTSABER Your lightsaber starts with this profile: 3-harm ap hand. It’s a buzzing laser sword, bright blue or green, that cuts through pretty much anything. Choose one option: double blade: selft explanatory. +1harm. master crafted: a superb piece of craftmanship. Add +precious. perfectly weighted: when you and only you roll for duelist using that lightsaber, hold 1 more. collection: you have a few spare. They’re absolutely standard, but there’s a handful of them. legendary: its blade has a very distinctive color (you precise) and people know that blade has history. +1 when going aggro with it.
The golden age of the republic is long gone, but you didn’t forget. Once the jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. Before the dark times. Before the empire. The emperor and his minions destroyed the order. You’re what’s left of them, maybe the last jedi. Your days of glory are behind you, your powers have faded but maybe you’ll find a new hope. Someone to teach your learnings to. Maybe the order will live on.

ADDITIONAL RULES PAST GLORY During the game, at your choice, you can cross one of these to make it happen: You collect an old debt, either from an old acquaintance or one of their relatives. You reveal a dark secret about someone (a NPC or a player’s character) who went through the clone wars. You reveal a dark secret about yourself, trying to redeem yourself for what you did. You reveal your true jedi name to a NPC who recognize you for what you were and is either impressed, frightened or curious. You reveal a promise you made a long time ago and swear to fulfill that promise. You reveal a truth about some event from the past, as you saw it by your own eyes, that’s quite different from what everybody knows about it. The GM choose either to follow your cue and give you full benefit of your reveal, or to twist your expectations and make your character’s life more insteresting for it. If he makes your life more interesting though, you mark experience.
OTHER MOVES & POSSESSIONS
THE DARK SIDE Some NPCs, places, objects and phenomenon belong to the dark side of the force — boiling with agression, hate, fear, selfishness and hubris. If you’re vulnerable to the dark side, they can command you. When you follow the commands of the dark side, mark experience.
HARM When a character gets hurt, the player mark as much segments on his harm countdown as the number of harm they suffer, starting with the top left segment (12 to 3 o’clock). Typically, they suffer as much harm as the weapon, attack or mishap, minus the armor rating of the armor the character is wearing. This is called harm as established.
SUFFERING HARM When you suffer harm, roll+harm suffered (after armor, if you’re wearing any). On a 10+, the MC can choose 1: • You’re out of action: unconscious, trapped, incoherent or panicked. • It’s worse than it seemed. Take an additional 1-harm. • Choose 2 from the 7–9 list below. On a 7–9, the MC can choose 1: • You lose your footing. • You lose your grip on whatever you’re holding. • You lose track of someone or something you’re attending to. • You miss noticing something important. On a miss, the MC can nevertheless choose something from the 7–9 list above. If she does, though, it’s instead of some of the harm you’re suffering, so you take -1harm. When you inflict harm on another player’s character, the other character gets +1Hx with you (on their sheet) for every segment of harm you inflict. If this brings them to Hx+4, they reset to Hx+1 as usual, and therefore mark experience.

CREATING A JEDI
JEDI MOVES
To create your jedi, choose your name, looks, stats, moves, possessions, lightsaber and history.
Grip of the force: you can use the force as a weapon (1-harm ap). Also, when you use the force to move an object or a person, roll +attuned. On a 10+ choose 2, on a 7-9 choose 1: • you move it even if you couldn’t with your own arms • you put it exactly where you want • you move it fast enough to cause damage (as established) on impact • the person holding on it can’t resist and lets it slip away On a miss you lose control : the object/person slips and gets damaged, unreachable or noticed. The GM makes a move.

Lightsaber duelist: when you go into battle with your lightsaber ready, roll +attuned. On a 10+ hold 3, on a 7-9 hold 1. On a miss, hold 1, but you’re the prime target now and take -1ongoing. Spend your hold during the battle, 1 for 1, to : • name an NPC within your reach. You kill, disable or disarm that NPC • name a character blasting at you or at someone within your reach. You redirect the bolt back to the shooter, to someone within your reach or to anything around (including nowhere — the ground, a wall, the sky) • name a character out of your reach. You cross the distance without them being able to adjust or react • ignore any harm to yourself from an incoming attack Mind trick: when you speak to a NPC with the voice of the force, tell them what they should say or do and roll +attuned. On a hit they do it right away. On a 7-9 choose 1, on a 10+ choose 2 : • they don’t remember you made them do it • nobody around finds it suspicious • they do it even if it’s directly dangerous to them On a miss they’re about to do it but they regain their mind at the last moment and the GM gets to make a move.
