I would kr use X-Wings vs TIE Fighters even if the force wasn't such a thing.If you time shift it to something like the Old Republic Jedi vs Sith makes sense.If I wanted to timeshift it and not use Jedi or Sith I would use a location like Coruscant.You still need to tie your story to the larger Star Wars universe. Other force using traditions can absolutely be part of that and we've seen at least one in canon, heaps in the old EU.I wouldn't mess with established characters to much. Make new ones it's easy enough.You don't need to know much except Coruscant is the galactic capital. If it's not you need to explain it to some extent. That's where TFA failed where they had Starkiller base blow up Hosnian Prime and 4 other planets.Why care, we've seen planets blown up before, and there was no emotional impact like Tarkin and Vader blowing up Alderaan and making Leia watch and her reaction.Good Star Wars needs emotion, not just the actors going through the routines. By emotion I mean something like "I am your father", Han and Leia, or Obi Wan and Vader on Mustafar, Vader and Luke on Deathstar. Carrie Fisher selling the destruction of her world to the audience.Even you are Revan works. Mandalorian is pulling it off with the main character and baby Yoda.2/3 of the ST movies just imitate better stories. Hell Solo's better than all 3 of them IMHO. At least it was decent and original.</blockquote>
