That's fine for a random Jedi but will it fund an entire Jedi Order for any length of time?

In theory this Order of Sereno could be given authority to seize assets from slavery and gangsters in exchange for remaining apolitical and say operating exclusively in the outer rim territories where the Republic doesn't give a fuck and neither does Yoda

Does a Jedi Order really need all that much funding? They're an order of monks, I don't think they were living it up. If you can support a household guard then you can pay for the sort of food and lodging most Jedi would expect, maybe nicer stuff too.

Ignoring that Dooku, as a Count of Serrano, was flat out one of the wealthiest people in the entire galaxy; getting funds as a Jedi really isn't hard.

Even if you aren't just going to go to town on some organized crime groups and then Mind Trick them into turning over their assets, you still have everything that precog makes possible.
D'Asta family of Serenno owns one of the biggest merchant fleets in the galaxy.

Dooku is likely familiar with them and he can easily negotiate a deal where Jedi get to hitch rides on D'Asta cargo ships that are heading to the destination the Jedi is going.

Jedi get their transportation, D'Asta shipping gets added protection from pirates and whatnot.

Woah. That's practically ancient history. The origin of the Rule of Two, the Reformations that led to the Jedi Order becoming as we saw them in the PT, the state of the Republic, all that can be traced back to the outcome of said war.


Why stop there? Let's throw the exceptional individuals of the KotOR at the PT, including the PCs from TOR.

Yeah I've had this idea once where Palpatine during the end of clone wars recovered and cloned bunch of the ancient sith lords and just famous sith and made a sith battle royal. Never went further than a little snip though.

Also is there such a fic where legends luke transported into sequels, fixes them and complaints how low his sequel counterpart has fallen?

And when the Jedi seize the pirates their assets get a 50-50 split between the Order of Sereno and House D'Asta

Here's an interesting POD in the Disney version of Star Wars:
When Grogu is kidnapped by Moff Gideon, one other person joins the rescue effort: Ahsoka Tano.

An interesting idea... although I have this one CnC!Remake (basically have Tiberium-verse and Generals-verse into a blender, blend well, and add a dash of Act of Aggression and Earth 21X0 Series into the mix)/Star Wars idea that has been brewing for a while. To give you a basic rundown, GDI shows up in the 2030s (and, when investigating on how to improve EVA, they accidentally create GOLAN... who wants to be a good boy and sees things like Bolos and a certain android from Grey Goo as role models while wanting to prove itself by basically being a friendly Skynet), Russia becomes one of the bad guys (and has shades of the Eurasian Dynasty from Earth 21X0 and Novaya Russia from Empire Earth 1), China's 'baggage' causes it to be another enemy, the GLA exist, a bunch of corpos decides to go old school filibustering (filibustering in the geopolitical context is essentially you -as a private citizen of a nation- goes out and pull invasions/coups/revolutions with people that you privately armed) as word stability catches on fire, and Nod is GDI's tsundere friendemy with a less evil mindset (although they do have their problems like a bunch of Tiberium-worshiping cultists and Kane's attempt to recreate his brother's AGI using local technology via CABAL). GDI survives (and grows stronger) all the tribulations involved, just as Kane Xanatos Gambited.

The basic gist is that GDI has become the master of Earth and its colonies, although some remnants of the old Russian government are still left unaccounted for, and enters the greater Star Wars galaxy via a hyperspace gate that connects the two galaxies together. Not liking what is happening in the Star Wars galaxy Post-Jakku, GDI decides to pull their own Xanatos Gambit on the New Republic to either reform or, in the worst-case scenario, replace the New Republic with GDI. In addition to this, GDI sends out feelers to Luke to assist him in creating the Jedi Order.

GDI gets wind of the entire saga of The Mandalorian and sends a Commando to secure Grogu (and secure any information in Gideon's unit about what they undertook and what they know about other Imperial Remnant groups) before someone uses him as a test subject or something... although the Commando is a step behind Mando in his adventures... that is until the kidnapping, that is...

The story basically starts with the Commando following Mando and Grogu and ends with the now-iconic scene of Season 2's finale, but with a twist: the Commando has activated a 'panic button' and in addition to Luke's starfighter, a GDI shuttle shows up...

@Bear Ribs and @Emperor Tippy you assume that we’d be going with the (idiotic) TCW retcon that Maul somehow survived and tiger changes the show brought over. What if we throw TCW to the side and go with the Classic Legends Clone Wars material aka the Clone Wars multimedia project?
Are you guys still hung up on the 'CGI Clone Wars Cartoon is non-canon' BS? I thought that it died after Rebels came out.

... which proves me right about how childish the fanbase is...

Seriously, the CGI Clone Wars Cartoon was far better than the multimedia project (from what I've seen and what I've read) when it came to showing Anakin's fall to the Dark Side.

And your still complaining about how we don’t want to accept TCW as our Lord and Savior. Despite various people having vary good reason not to do so. Such as the show makes an utter mess of established continuity and characterization. Also, there’s more to the Clone Wars then Anakin's Fall, even assuming we accept your proposition about TCW doing it better. I can just as easily say that TCW’s made Anakin’s Fall far too bland.

And do not get me started on Rebels.

TCW is canon.

Just not Legends canon.

Disney canon can have it for free.

@DarthOne makes a good point. TCW literally contradicts 80% of the previous canon.

It was so bad that they had to make a special canon classification just for it.

And it's ironic how TCW is a kids show, but you childishly want it to be part of Legends canon, despite it being a square peg in a round hole

You know so much about the Clone Wars, but understand so little.

I think the assumption isn't TCW, just that since Sidious' assassination of Plagueis probably takes place before Maul's death, so if we replace that with Sidious and Plagueis killing each other, Maul is still alive. I was originally thinking extinction of Bane's line of Sith before the Clone Wars starts, though.

Definitely agree here. Bringing Maul back wasn't great though, IMO. If Maul was alive or even not definitely dead in the people making AOTC and ROTS, he would have been in them. They do a lot of interesting things with him and he's a fun character, but it leads to a situation where lower canon doesn't just expound upon higher canon, but implicitly disagrees with it, which is annoying.

You double posted my friend.

And I’m pretty sure that Maul was Naboo already by the time Palpatine was dead. Plus, Maul in Legends was more of a tool then a genuine Sith Lord, much less an ambitious one. So I’m pretty sure he dies regardless.

I wasn't a fan of bringing Maul back. But I do think overall TCW, was fun Starwars. Not perfect, but then Starwars rarely is. But fun. Rebels though? If nothing else, Rebels should be treated as a in universe children cartoon sort of like the Battletech cartoon, honestly it's the only way I can accept it as canon, just watch the first part of the first season. It's so incredibly Saturday morning cartoon, it hurts. The villains are all incompetent, and are treated like comedic relief.

I hate that they made the Empire seem like a joke at first. The Empire and Storm troopers are very much not a joke. And the way they made running into a regiment of troopers just to be an everyday thing was too much for me.
