Jedi - Part 3 - The Tools of the Jedi and The Consequences of Using Them
This is Part 3 of our Jedi Developer Diaries (see: Part 1: The Inciting Incident & FaQ and Part 2: Life, Death, and the Jedi Ecosystem). In this diary, we’re talking about how Jedi will attain and use the tools they need, as well as the consequences thereof.Jedi FashionOne key change we’re making right off the bat is that Jedi will wear both Robes and Cloaks. Each providing a specific purpose as described below. We’re working with our art team to modify the assets to work together, and to ensure all species can equip them.RobesA Jedi’s robes are a symbol of their rank. Outside of the Jedi Padawan and Jedi Knight robes, which are attained from their respective trials, Robes will be attained through the Force Ranking System (FRS) and can only be worn while maintaining the respective rank. Robes contain stats related to the Force (e.g., Max Force Power, or Force Power Regeneration). Other features of robes include that they do not decay and they can be recolored by Force Ghosts using a consumable mechanic (excluding the Jedi Padawan Robe). The following Robes will be available as part of our core design:

Accuracy and the Art of the Defense: Combat Changes Coming to Restoration
“These blast points are too accurate for sand people. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise…” The Why The Combat Upgrade has a relatively simple combat system compared to other eras of SWG: for the most part, it all comes down to manipulating how often you hit and get hit via Accuracy and Defense. For as simple as that can be, though, our first implementation of that system had some shortcomings:
Two Years of Restoration

The Resol’nare | The Beskaar Maiden’s Complete Guide to Mandalorian Culture
Ba’jur, beskar’gam,Ara’nov, aliit,Mando’a bal Mand’alor-Ke’vencuyani mhi, an.Ba’jur.Instill your knowledge in the Galaxy around you, more importantly the children you raise. As Mando’ade we are required to raise our children as such, but to limit the idea of our education to just our children is foolhardy. Educate those around you, the aruetiise don’t need to know the intricacies of our culture that protect us, but they may still come to understand. We cannot discount the galaxy around us, there are lessons to be learned daily from it and the people who inhabit it. We must not limit ourselves to the ways of war.In supporting our people and our families, we cannot solely rely on the power of our armaments but our minds. Trade is as powerful a lesson, in performing a trade we are always utilizing our greatest resource to support ourselves, our aliit and providing Mando’ade a service. Some of the greatest verd in our history were even greater tradesmen.Take the time to learn your surroundings, the cultures you work with and the people you fight alongside and against. Knowing your friends and enemies is an unspoken conquest that will provide you a far superior protection.Know your body and train it continually, when you lose connection to your sense of self, you have lost your ability to retain knowledge.Never fool yourself into believe you know all there is, that education is no longer important. Education is the toughest of the tenets to uphold, it makes ceaseless demands.Beskar’gam
Jedi Series: Phase I Procuring Proclivity
“You’ve taken your first step into a larger world…” After the Great Jedi Purge, Jedi were rare. And without Jedi actively seeking out Force Sensitives, individuals discovering the Force were even more scarce. For those fortunate enough to recognize their connection with the Force, exploring their ability was an obscure and treacherous path. In SWG Restoration, the Jedi journey maintains this lore. As such, not all characters will become attuned with the Force. For those fortuitous enough to experience an Inciting Incident, their adventure will be just as extraordinary and mysterious as it is difficult and dangerous. Phase I marks the beginning of the quest for Jedi – are you brave enough to take the next step?
