No backflips and such just yet. My jedi is more of an outcast that wasn't caught up by the purge because he was never officially sanctioned by the jedi council to be trained, so he became a spy for them instead in Hutt territories. Now, of course, he can sense the reverberations of the mass wipeout while seeing the writing on the wall with the expansionist policies of the newly risen galactic imperium.
I've been playing it so close to the chest that (IC only, unfortunately) nobody in the group knows that he has force powers or that he owns a lightsaber. The only one who did was arrested by the Empire and shipped off to once-Coruscant/now-Imperium Central. Interestingly, the rest of the group is very combat-capable but haphazardly so. We have a wookie, three humans (I'm playing one) and a recently acquired droid, plus two not very independent droids on retainer (so to speak). We were running with an NPC jedi that my character guilted into training him in the ways of the force, but I intend not to fully reveal my prowess until it's something magnificent and showy.
A lot of goons die fighting us but we also get taken down pretty often. It's funny, SW has a feat that allows you to lop off the limbs of enemies you're fighting, but it actually prevents you from killing characters that would otherwise definitely die under your lightsaber. Interesting kind of mechanic.
He's also smart enough to know that he shouldn't show his presence until doing so can strike a real blow to the Empire. I'm kind of biding my time until he's a finished symphony to spring him on the auditorium, you know?

So, as Jedi go, your character's a bit of a bottom-feeder and too lowly for the Empire to be aware of him yet... I like.
