How it begins
You are a Jedi Padawan* carrying nothing. You are standing outside your wrecked shuttle in a lush jungle clearing. A pathway leads north. You were sent to this planet by your master, Alendar Rask, to undergo several trials that will train you to become a Jedi Knight. Not only must you face the Trials of Flesh, Courage, Skill, and Self, but you must also construct your own lightsaber.
(*A padawan is a novice Jedi Knight in the Star Wars movie mythos. Jedi Knights are trained to control and focus something called the Force which allows them to sense hidden things and perform feats of telekinesis. A lightsaber is a sword-like energy weapon that resembles a flashlight when off and projects a bright blade of light from its hilt when on.)
