The War Are you focusing on the Clone Wars?
"The Clone Wars" is the general name given to a series of conflicts over two decades between the Republic and outlying barbarians called the Outlyers.
Who are the Clones?
The Outlyers use cloned shocktroopers to overwhelm Republic worlds. Apparently only they posses the technology.
Does the Republic have its own army, or do each of the independent planets have their own armies?
The Republic indeed has its own army ("The White Legions") but they have withdrawn from the outer rim worlds, so each planet has been looking after itself, akin to Rome abandoning Britain and Gaul.
When did/does the War start?
The Outlyers became a major problem at an undisclosed time in the past.
Do you show Obi-Wan receiving training from Yoda?
No, but his name is dropped.
Do you show Anakin receiving training from Obi-Wan?
It happens between Ep. 1 and 2.
Are Obi-Wan and Anakin friends? When do they have the chance to establish this friendship
Best pals and partners with a bond that grows during the long hard war.
How many years before Episode 4 does your story take place and how old are the main characters?
Ep. 1 is about 35-40 years before "Star Wars." We meet Obi in his early 30s and Anakin at 20.
Will you show Yoda?
Nope.
Will you have surprises in your new PT? Will it affect anything that we thought we already knew in the OT?
Nothing in the OT will need to be reevaluated in lieu of what the PT shows.
What is the Galaxy's general response to Jedi? Are they all assumed to be heroes?
Jedi are great heroes, but their name conjurs up ideas of a better age. They are few and far between, especially in worlds far from the Republic center.
