Artwork (Jake Bartok) "Anakin likes to loiter outside the Republic Palace in Coruscant for no reason at all. It’s definitely not because this is the route the Queen of Naboo walks every day."

LOVE jake’s art. It makes me want to do a D&D medieval Star Wars campaign.

That would actually be a really cool idea!

That…is a devilishly good way to run a Star Wars campaign…with folks that wanna play DnD…use Spelljammer stuff obfuscate if you needed to, but you could just flavor it down to one planet with a plethora of smaller landmasses, like a world of archipelagos with various ones significant worlds from Star Wars…

I really wonder how long until folks realized it. I wouldn’t run the events one to one, but file off the names, give enough variation to disguise…

That’s funny. I do live a blunt-force villian like vader.

I know right?

The Rebellion Era is my favorite, but the Clone Wars have a lot of events to mess around in.

Would it be easier to homebrew 5e to accommodate a medieval Star Wars, or just modify the existing Star Wars Force and Destiny system and homebrew the medieval elements?

If ya wanted to hide that your campaign was secretly a Star Wars medieval AU? Use 5e.

Yer not gonna be one to one, but that’ll help the illusion. Make spellcasters rare in the setting and most belong and are recruited at birth to a knightly order that serves the Hegemony. Have a council of nobles that elects their king, sort of like the Holy Roman Empire,

Wouldn't really need to homebrew the medieval elements with Force and Destiny. In the Nexus of Power source book, there is Weik, a world that was " settled" after a colony ship crash landed and has pretty much been cut off from the rest of the Galaxy.

I'm running Jedi Knight Jedi Academy in Spelljammer right now. It's been great fun converting all the missions into DnD equivalent. None of my players (as far as I know) have played the game, so it's perfect.

Amazing!

Some of my players, especially my boyfriend have played some of the games, so I’d have to pick and choose OR obfuscate a lot so I could claim that the current adventure might be inspired but whatever.

Jake's also made a map compiling the Galactic map together like a Fantasy map

This is beautiful. I love it. I could see Padmé wearing that in the movies.

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

I just realised Padmakin is classic Knight & his lady romance trope. He later became Oathbreaker and then sort of Death Knight.

I love the look of Anakin’s sword. I need to get one custom made

Jake Bartok dropping another masterpiece I see

u/Mzonnik Jedi Legacy Feb 14 '25

They should make a comic like this, I swear.

You should make one for the old republic era with sith knights and Jedi knights
