Maybe just as well. I don't think the Clone Wars material won't be over until Clone Wars Adventures Volume 6 comes out.

Well sure you have CWA 6 in august, and im sure they will eventually do a 7 as well. Plus you have a new clone wars cartoon in the works, and the rumored darth vader game might have some new jedi characters that survive the purge as well. That doesn't even begin to get into additional comics and novels. odds are, when this thing is finally done, well still have to update it once a year or so until the 3 year era is beat to death.

Alright, finally the last Jedi chapter is up! Sadly, our deadline (which we were still 3 days late on) prevented us from including Nejaa Halcyon and Quinlan Vos. I know there are fans out there that want them included, and they will be. Unfortunately, you just have to wait another month :T. I apologize for anyone who was planning to use them in game this month. Anyway, next month is our big recompile for the Jedi chapter. LOTS of error correction, updates to a few characters, and 7 completely new characters, and 2 completely redone characters, plus sidebars galore! Once this recompile comes out, the Jedi chapter probably won't change until we update it something like a year from now. So feel free to print it out when the recompile posts!
Anyway, hope you all enjoy this chapter, please let us know what you think, and as always, sniff around for errors and let us know what you find!

I have to admit I was kinda hoping the delay was because you wanted to get them all in.
Are you counting Nejaa and Quinlan among the seven new ones?
You're redoing two of them? Which two, and why did they need to be redone?

The ones we are adding are as follows:
Padawan Joc Sah
Knight Roth-Del Masona
Knight Sia-Lan Wezz
Knight Jastus Farr
Knight Leska
Master Neeja Halcyon
Master Quinlan Vos
The two being basically completely redone are Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan. The two are both Jedi Knights in Triple Zero, so we are going to expand both of their write-ups and provide an additional set of "knight stats" for both of them. The Padawan chapter was done before including triple zero info was possible, so thats why the major update for those two is neccesary. There will also be minor tweaks and error corrections for the existing entries, and of course the inclusion of sidebars. Sadly, the reason for the delay is mostly my fault.
This is unrelated to star wars, but basically, I just started EMT-B School, which is another 16 hours a week of class time (and early in the morning when I usually sleep) plus I already work 40 hours a week. So for the next 7 weeks, I just don't have the time available to commit that I normally do. So while I got most of my masters done on time, Nejaa and Quinlan suffered. Vos is mostly done, but still not ready. So at first we thought Id be able to squish them in and just be a day late, but it turned out I just wasn't able to get it done. So we went ahead and posted.
The good news is that it is only an 8 week course. So we might be a little sketchy for the next 2-3 months while I get through school and catch back up. Just bear with us, things will get back to normal by the time summer is over. Our comic updates should not suffer as a result at all. Those scripts are already written, and the artists TJ and Steve don't see anything that might slow them down any time soon. So our mid-month updates should still be timely.

Anakin is also getting a slight retooling. Originally I used Gary Sarli's stats for Anakin as of the duel and just tickered back the two levels of Sith Lord and re-included the 6th level of Jedi Guardian. But the more I looked at those stats over the last couple of months the more things I want to change with it. He won't be completely different, but there will be differences in his stats. Plus for the Dark Side chapter, since I'm redoing the stats from scratch rather than using Gary's as a base, I'm going to have my "Duel" Anakin stats as well as his existing stats in the DS chapter which are stats as of Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (which are also getting a tweak).

I can sympathize with you when it comes to waking up early, NarCranor. I began working for the IRS as a tax examiner in March of last year. My shift is from 7 AM to 3:30 PM. To get there at a good time to find a decent parking space, and to have breakfast before leaving, I have to get up at 5. I'm basically a nightowl, and I prefer to sleep in.

A question about the Quarmall entry. You said Palpatine created a clone of the Abyssin Jedi master, sent him to guard one of his treasuries, like Joruus C'Baoth did on Wayland. You also said Quarmaall caused a lot of trouble for the New Republic. In what book(s) or comic(s) did that happen? Or is that your own home-brew idea?

I found an omission. Under the Bith Master Ph'ton, you indicate he has the Force secret special quality. But you don't list the specific Force secret or secrets he had learned.

Found another one. Same problem as above, but this time it's Shadday Potkin.
BTW, based on their actions, I'd say some of the Jedi that have been listed turned to the dark side, but they didn't join Dooku. Specifically - Cal, Koffi Arana, and Shadday Potkin. It was specifically mentioned in the respective comics that Rhad Tarn and Zule Xiss turned to the dark side before dying. Therefore, shouldn't they be in the dark side chapter, or perhaps have a chapter of their own?

Eh, these characters you mention don't neccesarily turn to the dark side fully, but definately take actions while under its influence. I mean, anakin wasnt considered to have fallen to the dark side after slaughtering the tuskens, he was considered to have fallen when he joined sidious. The fact that these characters had a moment of weakness just prior to their death, does not neccesarily make them evil.
Beyond that, they are all in the jedi chapter because when they are used by GMs as NPCs, because they only called upon the dark side at the very end of their lives (usually just for minutes) they will be used by the GM's a significant amount of time before they turn. This means that as the GMs uses them, they will likely still be firmly within the realm of the light.
The most debatable character would be Quinlan Vos, as he does fall firmly to the dark side for a time.
Anyway, always glad to hear your comments! and thanks again for being such a loyal supporter!

I recall the WotC website having stats for T'ra Saa some time ago. However, I think I like yours more because of the inclusion of the Jedi Watchman prestige. However, you have Skill Emphasis: Enhance Ability as a special quality. That's really a feat, first off. Secondly, does she have that Skill Emphasis, or did you mean to put something else in its place?

No. Level 9. I'm not disputing that she should have a Skill Emphasis. I'm just saying the Skill Emphasis should have been listed with the other feats. Also, given how she's a Consular, I was thinking her Skill Emphasis should be a healing skill, like Treat Injury or Heal Another.
Here are the stats that WotC posted about T'ra Saa. Based on the timing and description, they're as of completing her mission on Devaron during the Clone Wars, which took place in Jedi: Aayla Secura.
T'ra Saa: Female Neti Jedi Consular 13/Jedi Master 4; Init +1 (+1 Dex); Defense 22 (+11 class, +1 Dex); Spd 10 m; VP/WP 158/16; Atk +16/+11/+6 melee (5d8 +3, crit 18-20, lightsaber), +14/+9/+10/+1 ranged; SQ Camouflage, deflect (defense +2, attack -3), Force secrets (+1 Heal Another/Self, +1 Battlemind/Force Defense), healing, Jedi Knight, metamorph, photosynthesis; SV Fort +14, Ref +9, Will +16; SZ M; FP 11; DSP 0; Rep +6; Str 17, Dex 12, Con 19, Int 16, Wis 21, Cha 14. Challenge Code H.
Equipment: Lightsaber, Jedi robes.
Skills: Hide +6, Knowledge (Jedi lore) +20, Read/Write Basic, Read/Write Neti, Sense Motive +20, Speak Basic, Speak Neti.
Force Skills: Battlemind +19, Empathy +23, Enhance Ability +19, Enhance Senses +22, Farseeing +14, Force Defense +19, Friendship +8, Heal Another +25, Heal Self +13, See Force +24, Telepathy +15.
Feats: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (lightsaber), Force-Sensitive, Heroic Surge, Improved Critical (lightsaber), Sharp-Eyed, Skill Emphasis (Hide), Weapon Group Proficiencies (blaster pistols, simple weapons).
Force Feats: Alter, Attuned, Aware, Compassion, Control, Force Mind, Knight Mind, Sense.
Special Qualities: Metamorph -- A Neti has the innate ability to alter its shape and size at will. A Neti can vary its size anywhere from Medium-size to Large to Huge. A Neti can also alter its form to be roughly humanoid, squat and quadrupedal, or solid and treelike. Changing size and shape is a full-round action, and alters some scores like Hide, Defense, and Attack. (Refer to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game revised core rulebook for details on size modifiers.) Even in quadrupedal or treelike form, a Neti has manipulative tendrils to operate tools and make attacks. A Neti in quadrupedal form is more difficult to trip or move with a bantha rush (receiving a +4 stability bonus on rolls to resist these effects), but it cannot run or charge. A Neti in its stationary tree form is extremely resistant to these attacks (+12 stability bonus on all rolls to oppose bantha rushes and trips), but it is immobile. The extra wound points a Neti gains for being Huge disappear if it assumes a smaller form. A Neti that takes 12 or more points of wound damage in Huge form cannot reduce its size until healed.
Photosynthesis -- As plants, Neti have no need for food. They have a greatly reduced need for water, as long as they have regular access to broad-spectrum light. A Neti needs only one-tenth the water of most races, but if deprived of sunlight, it starves, much as other races do when lacking food. A Neti with the Control feat that enters a Force trance can survive almost indefinitely in an area with natural sunlight and rain.
Camouflage -- In its treelike form, a Neti gains a +8 circumstance bonus on Hide checks when concealed among trees and similar foliage.

I have tron looking into the T'ra Saa issue, so there will likely be a post about what happened there soon. In other site news, we posted Cracken's Crew: The Invisible War page 13 today, so you can check that out.
