Well thank you, I had no idea!

A long time ago, on a web of nets far far away, One website would mix classic text-based role playing combat with Star Wars and find out it's actually pretty good. And so, the Star Wars RP was born. It is a conglamorate of many talented users, who have created a completely new era to explore. It is my intent to bring a little bit of that Era here, and make it playable if I can. Return to the fantasy future past you know and love, as you journey back to an era long before the movies took place. Where everything is actually pretty much the same as the movies - except the stormtroopers - as you discover your latent Jedi powers and take the fight to the Darkness by vanquishing the Exiles and shutting down their planet sized doomsday device. A plot that you should be pretty damn familiar with by now. Gather your party before venturing forth as you join up with grizzled mercenaries, han solo types, token aliens, nice droids and droids that would like nothing better than to murder you - all of them roleplayed by real people! And, all of whom you'll leave in your thread requests forever while you run around with a full party of force-wielders. Choose your faction, archetypes and distribute your stats, perks and skill points as you take the fight to your enemies and build your own story. Experience the website that inspired five years of clunky ambitious timelines and dip your toes into the massive ocean that is the Star Wars fanon universe because other than JKhub this is as deep in as you can get without spontaneously growing a neckbeard. STAR WARS: NERDS OF THE OLD INTERNET! Wait. That's not right... Main Factions The Jedi Order An ancient, monastic, peace-seeking organization founded long ago on the watery world of Ahch-To, the Jedi Order once flourished in the galaxy as a group of scholars and warriors intent on learning all there was to know about the mysterious cosmic energies of the Force. Jedi Knights are known to observe a strict code of ethics that forbids the formation of material attachments and individual bonds (ie. romantic relationships or marriage). Violating these doctrines can be grounds for being exiled from the Order. A century ago, a schism of doctrine split the Jedi between the servants of light and darkness, beginning a long and bloody conflict, known as the Hundred-Year Darkness, which decimated both sides. Now, the Jedi teeter on the brink of extinction. Across the galaxy, their former temples and safe-havens have been mostly abandoned as the majority Order's survivors retreated back to the holy moon of Jedha to seek the Force's guidance. However, some Jedi, such as the mysterious Jedi Shadows, refuse to give up the fight against their former brethren and continue to wage a deadly shadow war with the intent of eradicating the dark side once and for all. The Exiles Once, they were Knights of the Jedi Order, but experimentation with the dark side of the Force separated them from their brothers and began a century-long conflict that decimated both sides. The exiles lack the cohesion of the Jedi Order, serving under various lords and warlords in their search for ultimate power and galactic domination. After one hundred years of fighting, their numbers too have been diminished, but their hatred for the Jedi remains powerful. Like the Jedi, they too have retreated into the shadowy regions of the galaxy's Outer Rim, searching for worlds to conquer and places strong in the dark side from which to rebuild their numbers. However, some, like the dark assassins among them, continue to strike from the darkness at the surviving Jedi in the hopes of obliterating their brethren and establishing themselves as the dominant force in the galaxy. The Hutt Cartel For centuries, the Hutts have been forced to keep their illicit activities out of the sight of the Jedi Order. However, with the recent civil war within the Jedi Order, their cartel has emerged as a major power in the galaxy—holding an influence over vast swaths of the Outer Rim and the galaxy's overall criminal underground. Capitalizing on public distrust of Force-users as a result of devastation from the war, the Hutts have placed bounties on Jedi and exiles alike to rid themselves of the threat of the Jedi, thus allowing their criminal empire to expand. The Hutt Cartel is ruled primarily by the Hutt crime lords for which it is named; however, criminals of all sort thrive within regions of space dominated by these gangsters. They continue to make use of the lack of Jedi policing in the galaxy to spread their criminal enterprise and maximize their profits. NPC Factions The Kingdom of Alderaan A flourishing utopia of culture and knowledge, Alderaan has long been the jewel of the Republic. With the war passing the planet by, Alderaan has maintained its position of wealth and influence within the Republic, unspoiled by the conflict of the Hundred Year Darkness. As the Republic rebuilds, the Kingdom of Alderaan finds itself in a prime position to expand its already large influence on the trade alliance. An opulent jewel that appears perfect to the casual observer, one need only take a deeper look to spot the flaws at its center. A young Queen with many political rivals feeling spurned by her ascendancy to the throne, there are rumors of plots against her personage. A slowly growing drug trade that begins to consume the lower class, has led to harsher laws and increased penalties, driving dissatisfaction with the government among the underprivileged of a highly privileged society. The Kingdom of Onderon The Kingdom of Onderon is sometimes considered culturally primitive compared to some of the greater civilizations in the core of the Republic, still retaining a hereditary monarchy that most civilizations look down upon. However, it cannot be denied that they exist as one of the more prominent Human civilizations on the edge of the Republic. With a history of the recent civil war which kept them distant from the war of the Hundred Year Darkness, focused on internal struggles, Onderon is one of the most militantly prepared Kingdoms in the wider Republic. With the galaxy rebuilding after nearly a century of war, nearby systems eye the planet cautiously. Considered to be ill-defined by some of the more "civilized" systems, Onderon retains the death penalty, a practice considered barbaric by more progressive systems. It holds strict punishments for crime, keeping it free of the worst of the insidious corruption that has slowly been spreading along the Republic border. Harboring a deep-seated distrust for force users that dates back centuries, the war of the Hundred Year Darkness has only confirmed this belief that those using the force cannot be trusted. For this reason, Force traditions are outlawed on the planet and those who use the force regarded with great suspicion. The Republic of Serenno The Aristocratic Republic existing well outside of Republic space, Serenno managed to remain neutral in the war for most of its duration. Ruled by six Great Houses, Serenno was once a hotbed of political intrigue, competitive trade, and military might. The dominant civilization of the Sector, many systems pledged allegiance to the planet and its ruler, The Grand Count of Serenno. When the war made its way into the Outer Rim, Serenno sought an alliance with the Jedi. Things did not go as planned however and a brutal three-way war broke out between Serenno, the Jedi, and the Exiles, devastating the Sector. Weakened by the war, and mistrustful of the Jedi, Serenno seeks to rebuild to its former glory. However, many of the systems that formerly looked up to the nation now seek to undermine its return to power. The Republic The Republic stands as the largest governmental entity spanning the galaxy. Little more than a weaving of trade deals and alliances, it has stood for over four millennia. Starting off as a union between systems in the Core, its influence spread as hyper-routes began to replace the antiquating hypergates, more and more breaking down over the centuries. The Republic reached a recognizable state as it spread into nearby regions, encompassing the Inner Rim and bleeding into the Expansion Region. However, the near-century-long war-scarred much of the Republic South. Shipyards and manufacturing capabilities had been damaged over the years, allowing several Core corporations poaching manufacturing niches, such as Kuat courting formerly Fondor clientele. With the Republic picking up the pieces of the war, resources trickling in to aid the war-torn planets began to dwindle. As poverty grew, so did the Hutts’ ability to entice planets… That's what I have for now. THIS IS NOT ADVERTISEMENTS FOR ANOTHER SITE, but in order for people to understand the models I'll be screenshotting and posting below, you need to understand the story of the First Sith, and who these characters are respectively. We are rapidly approaching the KOTOR era on the site, with the Revanchists just having been formed and the First Dark Lady of the Sith, Andraste, continuing to wage a violent war against the Order. The Republic has placed several sanctions against the Jedi on their worlds, as per Andraste's design, and have completely abandoned the Order to its fate. This has turned into one of the coolest timelines I've ever been a part of, and I really think bringing some of that story here would be amazing. I have a LOT of models I have textured and kitbashed over the last year, it'll take me a while to compile them all. Also, unless I state absolutely that I made a model by scratch, please assume it has been retextured or kitbashed from an original source. I am not a modeler, and I don't presume to take the title or credits for the models I didn't make. If you see a model or texture that you made, that I may have somehow overlooked or forgot to reskin, please have the courtesy to message me privately and I will make it right or request for the permissions then and there. If you leave a huge, angry rant here, or decide to come at me with accusing tones and verbal disrespect, I'm deleting the model and that will be the end of it. Nobody will see it's release. I trust the vast majority of this site, some have yet to learn the meaning of patience. The excerpts above about the Factions was written by the SWRP Staff, not myself, though the information is free to share. Stay tuned, there is a lot more to come.

Not a bad idea at all. Still finishing and tuning some details, still gonna ask for feedback. The main question is a simple one: Do I make the lightsaber look more like Luke's? Jedi usually base their designs off of their masters. I figure mixing some black, gold, and a more reflective silver....

Made a couple different versions of the hilt. You can vote for the coloring over here, although I'm still deciding as to whether I should keep it silver or style it to look more like Luke's. Mind you, I did edit Rooxon's, but I like the style of hilt he had over a port .

And lastly.... a unfinished poster for the Comic! As well as a scene that I spent WAY too long editing in GIMP. Oh boy.

Furthermore, I have a few models to show off. There are more, but as I need to do some major touch ups on all of them (Including the screenshots shown) I have decided to showcase the O.K. ones. From Left to Right: Cyberpunk Skywalker (Requested based on a concept art), Exiled/Regal Jaden Korr, Correlian Jaden/ Spacer Jaden, And finally Knight Jaden Korr. I KNOW JADEN'S FACES ARE DIFFERENT COLORS. Forgot to add the improved textures universally. It's the clothes that matter though. Finally, left to right, we have Murtagh, Guardian of the Hearth and Murtagh, Paladin of Mortis. We also have a really bad Craite Luke skin that desperately needs improvement! Let me know what you think! (Interesting note, Murtagh is packed and ready for a release. Did a bunch of custom voice lines for him. It was fun.)

Have a few updates. Need to start using this thread again... Anyways, took a small break from the comic to bring you a few goodies that have been kitbashed/textured for it. As of now none of these can be released, but as I finish the models up I'll see what I can do. Ben Solo's lightsaber was very briefly seen in TLJ. As it does make an appearance in my comic, I needed to edit some of the preexisting Kylo Ren sabers and reskin/remodel them slightly. Went through a few variations. *REMINDER: THIS IS A MODIFIED MODEL. THE ORIGINAL WAS CREATED BY ROOXON!* Tell me which design you prefer below!

I also have his nemesis, the Sovereign Protector Kir Kanos. Both were super easy to kitbash. Also for the comic, mainly, but if I can get the staff to agree to a release I will. There is some conflicting artwork around their stave weapons and capes. Some show Kanos with a silver hilted weapon, with a maroon/ royal purple cape interior and only a red exterior. Whereas others show a gold hilted weapon and a full red cape. Which one would you prefer?

Carnor Jax, anyone? I'm still fixing the cape/robes cloak. Trying to make them as faithful to the original artwork for Jax as possible;

Alright. Small update, don't have as much to show as I would like. I think you'll some of what you see, however. Also completely rebooting that old comic I made forever ago with a streamlined, Lore-friendly version. Which is taking *all* of the free time I've got! Here y'all are. Two versions of an aging Luke that are far from finished, as well as my rendition of Rosh Penin. (Scerendo's Cassian takes the cake for the head textures.) Aging/EABF2 Skywalker Jedi Master Skywalker/Pre-TFA Rosh Penin Concept

I am attempting to make a total conversion using custom assets and most to all of the replaced NPCs are invisible during cutscenes.

Also. Secret idea I've been thinking about: Could anyone see Luke Skywalker or Jaden Korr in an outfit like this?

Well holy shit Guys, I'm happy to announce I'm getting a new computer today to better handle my modelling/skinning needs. I gotta say, the constructive criticism (and amazing creativity) that I've seen so far amazes me. I'll be updating those textures with a better base model. Trying out a lot of different ideas as to how Jaden could be modernized. I see that @@The Punisher has done a magnificent job with that Jaden model. So without further ado, I have an insane idea. Jedi Academy Character Overhauls? Think about it. Whatever head meshes you've stumbled upon are much better than most models the base game offers. If you'd like to work with me to update most or all of the JK main character models, that could be awesome. I'm mainly referencing main characters, such as Kyle Katarn, Jaden Korr, Tavion Axmis, Alora, Luke. And somehow turning the games Jar Jar Binks (Rosh) into a badass villain and cool companion.

May I just say... Holy f***. Dude. This is amazing, exactly the kind of RPG aspects that Jedi Academy lacked. If you manage to merge both KOTOR's RPG elements and Jedi Academy's amazing combat system (I personally tweak blaster damage because let's face it, bullet sponges hurt my soul.) you would have a game/demo/mod better than anything people have been officially producing for Star Wars over the last 5 years. Better even than EA's Battlefront and it's cursed sequel. We need people like this community making Star Wars Games. Seriously. Good job. I would also like to extend my offer to help in skinning, modelling, writing. Anything really, I'd love to work with you on this.

Alright ladies and gentlemen. I've seen a lot of Kylo Ren images and even managed to get some gameplay in Battlefront 2 (Good game, but the microstransactions murder the experience). I'll have voice lines and NPCs set up by the time I complete the reskin/kitbash. Quick thanks to both Lervish and Plasma, without which you wouldn't even have this kitbash as an option. Minimal skinning required, only a few surgical implants and some basic scar designs . It does include a scarred version, a bandaged version, and will hopefully include a couple extra models that give him my own personal redesign. Based off of the following pictures: and

The GECKO suit is meant to stand against blaster fire, while also able to activate a stealth camouflage. The rules of the RP clarify it has to be the size of medium armor and I reflected that in the model

This is going to be lacking for now, I plan on adding to it over the week for models I'm using to kitbash. Hello everyone! So I'm back to kitbashing, as with many people here, and I've found I run into problems with certain concepts due to not being able to find compatible models to kitbash from. From eyepatches, bandanas, tactical gear, sometimes it's just hard to pinpoint what model has these elements that you can snag (with appropriate credit, of course). My hope is to make this thread a list of models with special/unique elements that could make interesting kitbashes. I have a few below, but I'll need y'alls help to continue the list as it goes. Please note that models that utilizing ported assets can and likely will be denied by JKHub staff for legal reasons. If you list a ported model below, please make sure to label it as such, as well as credit the porter. Models for Tactical Gear First Order Stormtrooper - DT85 - Ammo chest piece, rank pauldrons, Delta Squad - "Vode An: Delta Squad" Team - Various backpacks, unique shoulder pauldrons TBC Models for Jedi/Sith Gear Kylo Ren - Plasma/Lervish - Shawl, scarf, hip robes, hip padding Dooku Customization - Axanak/Haplash - Unique Cape Variation

Alright! So I'm officially back, got my computer set back up. Unfortunately, all my progress on any models and skins has become useless. All files prior to now, including the hundreds of unreleased skins, are gone, much to my dismay. Not to worry, however... I have a new line of skins/kitbashes coming out. These skins, as with most of the Star Wars content I will be releasing, is based off of Roleplay Characters from the site the Star Wars Roleplay, which has entered yet another timeline. Don't be surprised if you know nothing about the characters. Full bios will be posted with the models themselves after packaging and completion. First, we have Murtagh. A Wetwork operative around the galaxy, he is well known for his espionage and close quarter combat skills. These screens, as well as the character, are based off of Big Boss/ Solid Snake from the MGS series. The posters themselves are direct homages of the MGS3 Pachinko teasers. Let me know what you think! There are different versions, one in a sage military uniform and another in a variety of field camos. You'll see more as the kitbashes/skins progress.

Just so you know, Jeff, a lot of your dropbox links have been either broken or removed. Not sure if that was you, intentionally, or whether dropbox is screwing you over

Alright. So I've had this idea floating in my mind about a Mando Kingsguard (Inspired by a SWRP website, and Game of Thrones), to basically make a robed, white armored Mandalorian kitbash. The problem is my new PC is a toaster and can't actually kitbash anymore, which is a damn pity. However, I can still skin and do textures and the like. I was wondering whether someone would be interested in kitbashing a cape and "skirt" or kilt, onto a Mandalorian model. If you wanted to take it a step further, and add a haplash head, that would be awesome too. (Preferably Obi Wan's skull but I can work with either/or). I'm sorry to ask, but It'll bug me if I don't finish this idea. Most of the textures are done already! GIMP Concept: (excuse my bad editing on this guy but basically that is what I'm going for)
