this is rooted in the era of the prequels just because this is the era of star wars i like the most
matt has lived on coruscant his whole life. his backstory is basically the same: he was blinded in an accident involving a speeder and some star wars chemicals that enhanced his senses and, while he was not 'traditionally' force-sensitive, the heightened senses developing post-blindness led in turn to his force sensitivity developing. after his father (an underground boxer) died, matt was discovered by the jedi, and taken to the temple to begin training as a padawan.
matt had a lot of issues with the jedi temple and their trainings and at some point he left the order before he could become a jedi knight. thus he still gets to keep having jedi-related religious beliefs and guilt to mirror canon-matt's catholic guilt jdslfkjlds
post-leaving the order he moved back to the part of coruscant he grew up in (which i'll still call something similar to hell's kitchen just for consistency's sake) and became the star wars equivalent of a lawyer which i will probably have to research more and invent world-building myself but you get it.
with his force sensitive abilities he decided to become the vigilante daredevil to battle the ever-growing corruption of the senate on and around coruscant and sticks to operating on the planet. this keeps him at the star wars equivalent of 'street-level' but i can move him to other star wars settings if needed.
!!: this could probably also be adapted into a general sci-fi verse, just minus the specifics of the jedi obviously.
