adormitul Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Or houses or whatever you wanna name them the point is how do you head canon them. As you know jedi are not allowed many material possessions besides their clothes, their ship, their lightsaber and maybe some droids but this are necessary for their line or work. But still owning a house is a big material possession so how do you explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachimthbear Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Perhaps rather than owning the place personally, the Jedi is being put in charge of a facility for training, research or artefact storage owned by the Order. If you fill the place up with slot machines and slave dancers, that is probably not an approved use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply kept on retainer for whichever Jedi of certain prominence happens to need a place to crash that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excise Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Obi-Wan had his cave in the desert. Yoda had his shack in the swamp. You're just smarter on real estate than they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMagus Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The same way I head canon the fact that my Jedi has more speeders than Jay Leno has cars, and is walking around with 12 Million in credits, 40 or so light sabers in the bank, and 8 or so outfits that I can instantly change into whenever I want. It's a game feature, but once you hit the new chapters it sort of makes more sense that after the Jedi Order is destroyed and you are the resistance that you might put a stronghold on one of the original worlds to better fight the EE from.

SithKoriandr Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 That my Jedi come from a royal line, and thusly come from money, even if their homeworld has now been destroyed by the Empire. There is no it of Jedi dialogue that says one grew up a poor youngling of the Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still owning a house is a big material possession so how do you explain it? There's mentions in game about Jedi owning things. Some Jedi mention their things. Can't remember exact instances but it's there. Perhaps during this time Jedi are allowed to have possessions? I'm actually not all that sure.

But still owning a house is a big material possession so how do you explain it? My Jedi are from a splinter faction of the Alderaanian Teral Noble House. Their great-grandfather was force sensitive and the family created a trust for him and his descendants. My jedis' wealth goes into the trust, which they can pull from when they need, but normally they only do so for things to help them in their duties. So my main has created a Jedi training center on Coruscant with her trust fund and purchased her ship from the Jedi Order.

Archanubis Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Truth be told, depending on the situation, it doesn't seem like Jedi really give up *all* their worldly possessions - Count Dooku (who was Yoda's apprentice, remember) still had his personal/family fortune to fall back on when he left. Still, it's very likely the Jedi Order "owns" several strongholds across the galaxy, so that any member of their order can use them for various purposes. The same with the Trooper and Imperial Agent - the strongholds for them could be said to be owned by the Republic Military and Imperial Intelligence (respectively) - though, depending how much each is paid (which could be a bit for the Trooper, being a member of Special Forces), it could conceivably be owned by them. The Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, and Sith characters very likely own their strongholds (with the Sith "inheriting" theirs from their masters ).

adormitul Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I wonder is the trooper not allowed to do advertising for extra cash after all he is very very popular to put it like that since he is a war hero who brought victory to battles. Can he not advertise for a speed or a blaster or type of food to enlarge his income? And the imperial agent is not allowed to keep all the credit gained during his undercover missions?

TikkyLightmaker Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 One of my characters owns it, not sure which one; it's a shared base of operations. I use the Nar Shadaa SH - that's where all my deco stuffs are, and it's neutral. The other 2 are just convenient ways to get in Corusant or Kaas City.

DarthScruffy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I head canon it the same way I head canon a trooper having a faction neutral Nar Shaddaa SH that he shares with an Imperial Agent. Superiors make these arrangements because there's some sort of an advantage gained by having these arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
