What is
Dark Times
The Dark Times Group is a Lego Star Wars RPG created by Malen Garek in 2017 and resurrected by the Brickz Lab team in 2019. A major inspiration for the RPG is the Purge and Dark Times comics and the book Dark Lord. The RPG takes place right after the events of Revenge Of The Sith. This is where the Dark Times and the Jedi Purge really begin.
Dark Times
Story and Worldbuilding
The following end of the clone war and the destruction of the Jedi Order, Emperor Palpatine declared that the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated, uttering the start of the Great Jedi Purge.
As a direct consequence of the Reconquest of the Rim lead by Moff Tarkin, former separatist worlds resisted their occupation, and the Confederate Remnant formed. Meanwhile, the remaining Jedi are hiding, or plot rebellions in the Core Republic Loyalists start preparing for war and manipulating the events against this new dark regime.

Can I maybe introduce my own made up planet?
Since we want to stick with the actual lore and eventually use an official Galactic Map, you can't make up planets. However, there are many official planets with only one sentence or even less on the official Wookiepedia page. We recommend getting one of these and adding lore in the form of entries to it!

It doesn’t matter! If you want to become a Mandalorian or Jedi, you can join any faction and play your story properly. You will find the Foundling and Force Sensitive items in our store. Both items come with a series of quests you need to fulfill to become a true Mandalorian or Jedi.
If your story is that you are a Jedi in exile, you can just make a character like any other but specially mention that in your story. After you collected enough XP and Credits, you buy the Force Sensitive role, complete the quest, and your Jedi is with force again. If he is on the Lightside or Darkside, is up to you and your story!
