Star Wars Episode I:
The New World
The New World
Since the defeat of Darth Vader, many years have passed. The new world has dawned upon us and the Jedi Order has been rebuilt. But there are still some who are descendants from those that fought for the dark side. They remain in secret, hoping that one day that they can surely rise again and create a dictatorship across the galaxy. In the meantime, the Jedi Order has overseen the rise of new Jedi to protect the universe. Jedi Initiates, Padawans, Knights and Masters have emerged to be the defenders of the galaxy once more. But there is a great darkness lingering in the background.
One young Jedi survived on the dark side following the death of Darth Vader and Palpatine. He vowed revenge against the resistance. Many generations on, a new Sith lord is on the rise. The free world knows nothing of this, yet has failed to recognise the signs of the dark side so far. With the ascension of a new Sith lord, another war that will threaten the universe once more and many lives at stake, it's up to the new Jedi to put a stop to the chaos that would surely purge the peace that had been fought so hard for in the past.

Dawn Turner opened her eyes and panted. Her curious brown eyes looked up towards the droid that was firing shots at her. She deflected them with her blue lightsaber, whilst showing off the acrobatics that she performed. She jumped to her right, concentrating hard on the droid that continued to fire blasts at her. Eventually, she seized her chance and managed to reflect one of the shots back at the droid, which destroyed it. She smiled, knowing that her victory had finally come into sight.
"... The seventh droid we've had to repair this week, Lady Turner," a servant was saying to her, as they walked down the halls of the Jedi Temple. "The Jedi Order knows you wish to hone your training, but what are you trying to achieve?"
"Perfection, but no creature alive has ever achieved that," Dawn remarked, beaming away. "There are rumours that a Sith lord or two have risen again. The Jedi Order hasn't confirmed those rumours, but I need to be ready. I believe that the Sith killed my father, just to get to me."
With that, she left the servant standing there and scratching his head. It was true. Dawn's father had been mercilessly killed in the middle of the night four years ago. From an early age, Dawn had been chosen to be one of the new generation of Jedi because the old ones sensed the Force within her. That meant she had to leave Naboo to go to Coruscant to become a Jedi. So when her father had been killed, it sent shockwaves through her mind. Her mother died thereafter of natural causes, probably unable to bear the grief of losing her husband. Dawn had never expressed her regret of losing her parents close to each other, only to briefly state that she "had to move on."
But Dawn had never moved on inside her head. The duty of ruling Naboo had been passed on to her cousin and that allowed Dawn to continue on with her Jedi training. The rumours of a Sith lord were true in her head; she knew that they had slaughtered her father, just because she was the descendant of the Skywalker family. The dark side obviously had some kind of feud with her family, but she cared little for that. Completing her training was what was important right now. She had to be ready.
