After the Jedi purge, you might run into an ex-Ag Corps who's pretty strong but didn't have the discipline or temperament to get chosen as a padawan. Might be neat to run into somebody like that who's picked up some Force Adept levels in the Empire years, and probably a few dark side points in their attempt to survive. Could be anything from an isolated hermit to a disguised farmer to a crime boss by the Rebellion era.I'm not a big fan of the New Republic books (at least, the non-Zahn ones) so one idea I had was a different take on rebuilding the Jedi - have the New Republic give Luke a disarmed Star Destroyer as a mobile Jedi Academy, along with a complement of subordinate craft. The Academy could jump to a particular system and spend a few months there, looking for force sensitive people and training the students. More experienced students jump out to outlying systems on diplomatic and investigative missions, getting into all sorts of trouble while spreading the word that the Republic and the Jedi are back in action. Every few months, the Academy could move to a new region. I envisioned it as sort of a "Star Trek Jedi" campaign.</blockquote>
