[QUOTE="Mokona, post: 3829853, member: 24891"] [b]The King is Dead…Long live the King![/b] [u]Anything interesting[/u] The Skywalkers are supposed to bring balance to the force but it’s not really clear in the movies what is the imbalance (other than bad guys are in charge instead of good guys). In my game the restoration of the force is a primary factor of the [b][i]Star Wars[/i][/b] universe. What was out of balance? [indent]Jedi masters were becoming force ghosts as they died (this went on for millennia). Because they’re just an imprint of a person, force ghosts don’t have free will and can’t grow as a person or change. The counsel of force ghosts was really controlling the Jedi High Council. The Jedi Order stagnated and so had the entire Galactic Republic.[/indent] How did the Emperor play in to the situation? [indent]Palpatine’s claims were true that the Jedi had become corrupt and were betraying the Republic for their own goals (the whim of their long-dead advisors). However, using Sith lore, Darth Sidious developed a way to bind force ghosts and steal their knowledge/power.[/indent] How was balance restored? [indent]Anakin Skywalker (as Darth Vader) did indeed restore balance to the force when he killed the Emperor. Because of arcane rites and the connection the Emperor had with all force ghosts, when he was destroyed the force ghosts were obliterated as well. This removed a stain from upon the force that was akin to the taint on the One Power found in [i]The Wheel of Time[/i] novels.[/indent] What happened to the Force when the Emperor died? [indent]The Force became renewed and many force sensitive individuals whose latent ability had lain dormant became instantly aware of the Force. They had instinctively shut out of the Force form their minds because of the corrupting whispers and influence of the force ghosts whom were now gone.[/indent] [u]The Two Armies of the Ssi-ruuk[/u] A long time ago the Ssi-ruuk race discovered forbidden books and knowledge containing Sith Alchemy. Two factions arose within the Ssi-ruuk (who are force blind). One group delved into the use of Sith Alchemy with equipment. These Ssi-ruuk developed force-based technology which ultimately led to the “entechment” (i.e. making living beings into force batteries by turning them into ‘borgs). The other offshoot of the Ssi-ruuk used Sith Alchemy’s mutation skills to build a genetically modified army.
