As a physical mage, with a lot of in-character restrictions on the types
of spells allowed. A straight out phys. ad. can't do all the things that
a jedi can. Mind control is in, damaging manipulations are out.

It'd have to be a GM decision every time the player wanted to learna new
spell. Things like levitate, influence and suggestion are in.

Outright Control Thoughts is for the dark side.... So's Spark.

Then, in shadowrun playing a dark side jedi is possible..... though
probably not a fun thing to do. You could play one tron between the
'light' and the 'dark'.

Hell, at least they wouldn't be outright pacifists; Luke kills enough
faceless baddies in the movies.

Perhaps there should be a roleplaying flaw that any jedi knight has to
have an attack of morals when facing a major enemy, and must try and
redeem him. *grin*
