Funny / A New Jedi in an Old Republic

• This non-canon omake where Kyle is given a team of three among the finest the Republic and the Jedi have to offer... That just happen to be three future Imperial war criminals. And to cap it off, Palpatine wants to have a chat before he leaves.
  "Did Jan put you up to this? You know, seriously? Because-"
• During his trials, Kyle reacts to facing three lightsaber sparring droids by shooting one, with the droid not reacting because it failed to recognize his blaster as a weapon. Both Obi-Wan and Battlemaster Cin Drallig react very negatively to that stunt... But Kazdan Paratus, the one who had built and programmed the droids specifically to be more dangerous than normal sparring droids, just decided he had a point and built his next one to not only recognize blasters as weapons but included a sniper blaster and a repeating blaster in the design.
• Kyle's reactions in his first encounter with Tarkin, after suppressing the urge to just murder him on the spot:
  • During the encounter, in the middle of a Jedi Council meeting, Kyle gets the impression that Tarkin approves of his attitude-and wonders how long should be the lava bath to feel himself clean again.
    • Indeed, Tarkin does approve of his pragmatic attitude. This isn't lost to Anakin, who starts thinking how to get them to meet without the Jedi Council because they would obviously get along.
  • Shortly after, Tarkin explains he's there to get a Jedi volunteer for his raiding force so he'll be able to learn the military trade, because “To put it simply I feel that it is a mistake to let you continue with your failings as an Order, and the sooner you can productively aid the Republic as a whole, the better. Therefore, we must begin your training immediately”, and Kyle's mental reaction is priceless:
    Kyle was unsurprised that Tarkin of all people would have the gumption to come into the Jedi Temple, and deliver that sort of insult to their faces. The rest of the Council, not so much. He saw it in the way they reacted, even he hadn't dared go that far.
    Oh, sithspit, he cursed to himself. He was starting to approve of Tarkin.
    That lava bath was looking really good.
• When the Jedi are about to be trained for the more modern combat, a Jedi Master objects to them being requested to wear armor, and asks why they should when the Force would protect them. Cin Drallig just has him shot with a stun blast.
  • The fact Cin Drallig did such a stunt, even commandeering a Clone Sniper just to shoot the first fool he knew would ask that.
• When she's assigned as Padme's protection detail for a mission to Mandalore, Jan insists Padme procures a second holdout pistol so she could give up the first, as she had heard what is implied to be Han Solo advise his wife. Padme states: “You travel in very low-class circles”, not knowing she's talking of her own future son-in-law and her own daughter.
• Jan and Ventress finding out just how much of a trouble seeker Padme is... And Padme mistaking Ventress for a Jedi.
  • How Padme finds out that Ventress isn't a Jedi: she's with Jan and Ventress in her apartment on Mandalore, looking over evidence about the smuggling ring, and Obi-Wan arrives and immediately asks:
    "Senator. Agent. Why is there a Sith here?"
  • The sudden reveal obviously sparks hostility, Jan can't figure out how to prevent a fight... And then C-3PO shows up with some previously ordered drinks and delivers them as if they were talking about the weather.
