A New Star Wars Plot; Not to compete with our current...

Anyways, it's rare that I join a fanfic/canon roleplay, much less create one. So there's your attention grabber. =P
Let's start with what we know, what I want, and what would work. There are basically seven or eight 'eras' to the Star Wars universe. I'll list, and give recognizable events in each.
Sith Era - Way back, over 1,000 Standard Years before the Battle of Endor. Darth Bane had his legacy here.
Prequel - Old Republic Era (I, II, III). Jedi Order at it's height, Clone Wars, etc.
Imperial Era - (IV, V, VI) Basically from the rise of the Empire to the fall. End of III to end of VI.
New Republic Era - After Battle of Endor, the Republic and Senate are restored, Luke Skywalker opens a Jedi Academy on Yavin IV.
New Jedi Order - Luke's academy on Yavin IV is full swing, two other academies have even been established. About 20 years after the Battle of Endor. Han and Leia Solo have three kids, Jacen and Jaina (twins) and Anakin (dies during Yuuzahn Vong Invasion). Luke Skywalker marries Mara Jade, have one son, Ben. Luke establishes a small Jedi Council, led by himself, that assists the Galactic Alliance. Yuuzahn Vong Invasion, etc.
Legacy Era - About 40 years after Battle of Endor. Main events are the galaxy once again erupts into civil war, the rebellion this time led by Corellia, stating that the Galactic Alliance has turned into the second empire. Meanwhile, Jacen Solo follows his grandfather's path and becomes the Dark Lord of the Sith, much drama, many deaths, is finally taken down, yet his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, has disappeared, believed dead. Ben secretly revives the Sith, and they have been hiding since.

That's basically all that's been written officially so far, officially as in confirmed as part of the Star Wars: Expanded Universe. Our current Star Wars roleplay is running in the early Imperial Era. I am very interested in after the Legacy Era, where Luke Skywalker and all the heroes of IV, V, and VI have died, and Jaina Solo Zekk reigns as Grand Master Jedi of the Jedi Council.
If we were to start there, we would have a few options. One would be to have our setting at one of the three Jedi Academies (most likely the one on Yavin, because all others are basically, well, unmentioned). Of course, it would appear to be a lot like BSftG, but I assure you, with my guiding plot twists, it'd be different. =P Plot twists may include appearances from Ben Skywalker's Sith. Of course, we could always roleplay about the Sith, or even cannonly revolve around Ben himself.
My vote is for the Jedi Academy, with plot twists. But, before going out and creating a Fanfic RP myself, I'd like your guys' input.

I would be more than willing to hop aboard this, seeing as I missed out on the last Star Wars RP. However, I do see a tiny tick in your proposal:

I know little to nothing beyond the movies.

Sure, Pana has insisted on ranting at me about the Yuuzhan Vong on occasion, but I have never actually read any of the books, from which I understand all of the information about the times after movie VI comes from. If we were to try anything in the Legacy Era, I would not know much about how the universe had changed since last I dared glimpse into George Lucas's brainchild.

I think your idea sounds compelling and fun. If that's the route this takes, I'm in.

I like it, since I've been doing a lot of star wars reading recently. All in the New Republic Era. But is there any chance of working a Yuuzahn Vong character in there? They did make a peace treaty with the Galactic Alliance of Free Planets after all....

Yuuzahn Vong character as in...? Like a canon role from a book? I wouldn't see why not, but we'll probably be working with after the fall of Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo, so you'd have to age the character appropriately.
And Winter, no need to worry. If need be, I'll 'tutor' you. =P

Well...Actually, I don't know any fitting canon Yuuzahn Vong characters, unfortunately. All the good ones seem to commit ritualistic suicide. Or die regularly. I was thinking I could make one.

If you'd like, go ahead. Of course, I might have to approve of it if I see anything, well, out of the continuity.

So before I work on the plot a little more, I'd like your guys' input on what kind of plot you want. Do you want it to be at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, and have it run somewhat like BSftG, with my plot twists added in? Or do you guys have any other suggestions?

I, personally, am willing to run with whatever you think would be the most fun. My aforementioned lack of knowledge about the period in question leaves me at a loss as to what else we might be able to do.

Well, then the Praxeum would definitely be a good option for you, you could create a Padawan or an Apprentice.

I like the Praxeum. Unless I'm much mistaken, the Yuuzahn Vong finally came into contact with the force once united with Zonama Sekot, so there's a high probability that one of them, possibly a Shamed One of the Jeedai sect, might want to become a Jeedai.

Yeah, Pana, you're right, so I guess it'd probably work.
