Thoughts about some evil Jedi-

Among the younger Jedi, Anakin has quite a following, even as early as Ep. II. Anakin is a great warrior, boldy defiant of the Jedi traditions, and really just cool. When he leaves the Jedi in Ep. III, maybe a dozen or so Jedi follow him to be his honor guard in Palpy's New Order, and eventually help him wipe out the Jedi.

But their loyallty is stronger towards Anakin than to Palpatine, so eventually he has them all murdered by putting them on a shuttle and surprising them all when they're released to the vacuum of space by young intelligence officer Tarkin.

This could serve as a tool to explain how one badass, even as badass as Anakin is, could take on the whole of the Jedi order. It also allows for big lightsaber battles.

Vaguely inspirted by Hitler wiping out the SA, the paramilitary group that helped him achieve power, 'The Night of Long Knives.'

...Is anyone else still playing? Becuase it's one thing to be part of a thread kicking ideas around, and debating concepts in the NPT, that's fun... it's another to be posting half-finished fan-fic, which is what it is if I'm the only one doing it. :)
