[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 6662438, member: 36160"] Depends :) With the newest Unearthed Arcana, below 5th level, etc, I'd go with immortal mystic (for Luke, Vader) or awakened (Yoda). It's sketchy, not all the rules are there yet. Let's ignore that. Jedi are space wizard ninja paladins. They cover a versatile set of roles: technologists, mystics and mind controllers, sneaky single agents, moral guardians of goodness. So we're going to have to pick a focus here, because RPGs are team sports. I suggest starting with the cleric, Knowledge, Trickery or War, respectively. This gets us a reasonably competent warrior frame with the powers of a devotee to a cause. We're still going to need a few eldritch powers; I see the Mind Trick, short range telekinesis, and lightsaber itself as most important. mind trick: The knowledge domain gets us command and suggestion on the spell list.
