Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xylee now has a background. I had it mostly written in my head, but family in town over the weekend and busy at work today meant it took me a while to get it in.

Also, I left some of the dates fuzzy because I wasn't sure from the first post how long after Order 66 went out that you were planning on setting the game. If you think anything needs some tweaking, just let me know.

And your case isn't a fallacy either? Just because someone played a Wookiee Jedi in a game doesn't mean you can readily assume that they will be in abundance. Its a legitimate backstory that can be fleshed out; maybe the character met a Jedi in hiding and gave them their lightsaber.

Not trying to pick a fight; just pointing things out is all. But yeah, I'll back off.

I concur with this statement and eagerly await a response.
(begins constructing a background)

Did you actually read the character's provided back story? He was with a master - a Bith. The Master was cut down in short order because he was obviously standing out amongst all the wookiees. But Lowookar fit in better amongst his surroundings, both by looking like other Wookiees and (likely) by not being right there, drawing as much attention. From what I remember of the battle for Kashyyk, the wookies were often fighting by themselves, rather than always alongside Clone Troopers. Most of the footage we see in your link even shows Clones attacking Jedi directly leading them, but a Padawan most certainly wouldn't have been leading them, and if he was a very new arrival, could easily have been missed by troops.

I certainly don't think Yoda went about saving his Jedi brethren (though that makes him one cold mother ********). But his presence, and his escape, likely caused a fair amount of problems and difficulties amongst the Clone troopers, who probably had him as an extremely high priority. It certainly could have distracted them and/or lessened their capacity to hunt down other Jedi, particularly those who look just like the indigenous species and aren't swinging their lighsabers around willy-nilly.

But, well... *Shrug* Whatever. I put it together for funzies. I'd be most interested in exactly what you considered an acceptable explanation for a surviving beginner Padawan, as your general assessment seems to indicate that there is no way that any Jedi should have survived, much less one who was just starting out with almost no real experience (as is the case with first level characters). I certainly don't expect that I can change your mind.

Well there you go: it will be your Jawa's destiny to learn languages so to better communicate deals amongst different species. That sounds like an Education destiny to me.
