should the Jedi open a "Force dojo"?
Intriguing question here, posed in a Kyp Durron comm and linked in jedi_news: We know that there are Force-sensitives in the Galaxy who, because of various reasons, might not want to join the Jedi Order. I don't know how they had been treated by the Old Order - I suspect, the Old Order didn't bother with them at all, unless they posed some sort of danger. But what the attitude of the New Order should be? I don't mean simple tolerance - we know that they are being tolerated. What I mean, is: should they be taught? Even if the teachers know that they'd never join?
I'm down the page a bit hashing out the issues of giving community service vs. diluting the Order's identity with the OP (something influenced in no small part by conversations with tryst_inn and reading the Amber & Jet e-list), and coming up with a rather nifty idea that I'd love to see darthblitzkrieg and I include in our SWRPG:
More valuable might be a sort of team-teaching school approach, with teachers from an array of different Force trads, Jedi only one of them, offering a very stripped-down, secularized program for potential aspirants, where the graduate can seek further instruction in any of them at the end of the program. (I'd also love to see that include Dark trads, but can't see the Jedi being down with that.)
I mean, a Force school with Sith teachers, Jedi teachers, and a bunch of teachers from other Force teaching traditions is a heck of a tension-filled roleplaying environment to begin with. Throw in a murder or something and it breaks wide open.
