[QUOTE="Peterson, post: 2904614, member: 21431"] Back when Star Wars was only available in the d6 version, I once ran a campaign [I]slightly[/I] similar to this. It occured about the same time Luke was running the Jedi Academy (out of Yavin 4), and there was a small system of near-humans that treated Force Users (and the Jedi that came to recruit them) as a large-scale cult. Long story short, it had a lot of elements that you described (children with Force potiental removed from their families, lightsabers being viewed as "Brady's View on Assault Weapons", "scary" unnatural powers, etc) - and it went off pretty well, this twist on how the Jedi were viewed. The thing that was probably most interesting is that two of the players played wanna-be Jedi Instructors (from Yavin 4), trying to impress Skywalker - while the other two played natives from this system (with one of the PCs being Force-sensitive). The Force Sensitive one felt cursed, but tried to explain that the Jedi wasn't a large-scale brain-washing cult....the system used "proof" from the early stages of the Jedi Purge to "prove" that it was a mass cult. All in all, quite fun - especially if you run it more than a little dark in nature (I had a "dark apprentice" causing all kinds of havoc and trouble for the characters). Just my experiences.
