So after reading Brotherhood, which takes place chronologically after Refocused Ep00: Dark Forces Rising and before The New Padawan, I wanted to try and include some of the pertinent info from that book in the crawl for New Padawan, namely that the Senate has passed the Jedi-Military integration act officially giving Knights & Padawans ranks that were previously only defacto and that the Jedi Council has decided to forgo the selection process and start assigning Padawans.
so here is a draft:
Conflicts erupt in the early days of the Clone Wars.
Against the will of the Jedi Council the Senate has officially integrated the Jedi Order into the Grand Army of the Republic.
Newly minted Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi lead the 501st Clone legion to defend the world of Christophsis.
Count Dooku’s fleet has forced the Republic’s ships to flee to a nearby moon, causing fears of an imminent invasion.
But having detected the signal of Dooku’s agent, ASSAJ VENTRESS, a priority target, the Jedi rush to capture her.
And the Jedi High Council has plans of its own…
