"So these new Sith are...breaking up slaver rings, protecting refugees, slicing Droid armies and turning them against the Separatists, and generally doing the stuff that the Jedi would be doing if not for this war?" "Well, they have assassinated several high ranking senators and military officers such as Sate Pestage, Hali Burtoni and Wilhuff Tarkin," "I do see why that would be concerning," (But not our problem, they say between the lines). "And they do seem to have allied with Jabba the Hutt," (Note: 'Jabba' is this case means Ezra. The the body of the Jabba the rest of the galaxy is thinking of has been shoved into an uninhabited pit in his Palace). "Didn't we just strike a deal with the guy?"

They do send some Jedi to 'investigate' but it just ends with said Jedi having a philosophical conversation with their leader, Darth Vader, his scarier sister Darth Venga and talking about Vader's apprentices and Venga's children, Fel, Caedus, and Shuno. Also there's this one seemingly force-null guy serving tea and talking to a very familiar looking Wookiee.

Merrin and Cal definitely hunt down Grievous. Ventress (and Lyco) and Barriss both definitely hunt down their Clone Wars Era versions into order to wrap them in cotton, Ahsoka starts doing Fulcrum shit just in case, and Celina Marriss and Rinna Sliven (And Celina's children Ben and Shmi), representatives of the new Free Tatooine, start courting more planets to the Council of Neutral Systems.

Mara Jade, in the spirit of keeping her chaos prone husband alive, calls on the full extent of her still considerable influence in the Smuggler's Alliance and her position in the NJO's ersatz intelligence network to get him possibly the most durable and Lightsaber-proof cane in existence: One made of a Beskar/Phrik alloy (the Phrik sourced from Tatooine) with a Cortosis tip.

Years later, when the First Order and the One Sith come a callin', Luke makes good use of it against the Sith hunting party tracking him down.

"Okay, Farmboy," she says, gingerly taking a seat opposite of him, "Why don't you say what we're both thinking?"

Luke looks up from a disassembled lightsaber, one of several their merry little band had looted from Palpatine's throne room.

"Okay, I'm in love you," he states plainly, as if it those words didn't translocate the leaden weight on her chest into her stomach, fill her heart with starlight and make her teeth itch, "And I'm pretty sure you're in love with me,"

Mara nods, unwilling to speak.

Unshielded affection blooms from him like rosy fingered dawn as his mouth curls into a tentative smile, "But you need space,"

There's a quiet release of pressure as Luke reads her like a book and offers what she needs without judgement.

SDTCI Electric Judgement, in it's rawest form, is a literal lightning bolt, one that uses the Force to create electrically charged regions. The Jedi variation of the technique essentially uses Dark and Light as those areas of extreme charge, and in effect acts like a droid disruptor, or the Force ability Ionize, shorting out parts of the target's body, acting as a paralytic or stunning blast rather than a hate fueled torture tool like Sith Lightning.

Also, the New Jedi Order more or less re-establishes this practice during the Yuuzhan Vong War, because a fair amount of them are in the military and communal showers are just something you will have to deal with in the military, and after the war it just doesn't stop, and evolves back into the full asian style bath house.

There are two major rules that develop across both orders:

No business. We're just here to bathe and relax.

By day 3 all of them are calling her Master Mara and asking her to teach them things that range from Jedi stuff to...much more shady things.

Vader: Is that Obi-Wan's Lightsaber? Luke & Leia: He wasn't using it.

He was, but that's besides the point.

Breha Prestor Organa and Bail Prestor Organa

Leia Organa Solo and Han Organa Solo (Leia is actually breaking from tradition here of putting Organa last because "Solo Organa is an unpleasant mouthful" and Solo seems to have a nice Tony Hawk effect attached to it that she wanted for her kids)

Luke Jade Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker (Tatooine doesn't have that same naming tradition, but Luke and Mara did so anyway. Everyone forgets to put the Jade in Luke's name, including himself, and he's a bit put out by that)
