I'll try this whole movie based approach...
I still think its hard. I mean... Warrbacca and Toront had an epic lightsaber duel... Really, if you get down to it, this is not Cannon... So should I accept what I saw? Or should I disregard it...
Trouble is... once you decide where to put what, into which category, cannon or non-cannon... The line gets fuzzy very frequently.
I know what you mean. There is A LOT I need to "filter out" in order to maintain a good sense of immersion that is consistent with the movies and commonly accepted "cannon". Basically I filter out many of the non-roleplayers, and this includes the majority of jedi.
If the epic lightsaber duel happened in public, well.. I have continuity issues with that. Jedi should be in hiding according to the movies.
The force and the Jedi code are something sacred. Watch how someone like Dariis RP's his teras-kasi ways. I feel a good RP'ing Jedi should treat their ways with as much seriousness and devoutness.
At the same time I understand the need to have fun. RP'ing a true Jedi in this time frame would not be all that much fun. I mean, you work your butt off to get yourself a glow-stick.. who can blame you for wanting to use it?
The crux of the problem is that, in this game, the player needs to be a combat junkie (endless grinding) to become a Jedi. Yet, a jedi is not supposed to be a combat junkie. They are supposed to be more subdued, thoughtful, attuned with the force.
Continuity was not considered at all when it came to designing Jedi. If it were, they'd be giving Jedi to roleplayers and not powergamers.
