We see the Rebels operating entire fleets of starfighters, capital ships, military bases, intelligence networks, and thousands of personnel across the galaxy. All of this would require an enormous amount of credits, resources, fuel, maintenance, food, weapons, and other supplies right?

I know that wealthy individuals and sympathetic senators like Bail Organa and Mon Mothma helped support the Rebellion, so was that enough to fund an entire military or did they have other way of acquiring funds?

If you are a non human in the SW galaxy would you actually be able to differentiate between human faces? And ditto humans for para-humans and aliens? Would faces only be recognisable by members of the same species?

Obviously they were highly politically involved, so the Senate and everyone in those circles would’ve known them (or the senior ones). But what about the general public?

We’ve seen people who think the Jedi are myths. We’ve seen people who recognise Jedi as a group. And after Order 66, presumably a lot of Jedi would’ve become household names by virtue of having bounties.

But how well known was, say, Yoda in the pre-imperial days? Would he have been publicly famous? Or was the concept of Jedi well known but the individuals relatively anonymous?

I'm running a campaign set in an alternate Star Wars universe where none of the original Legends or Canon characters exist, and none will appear in the future. I want to build something of my own while capturing the atmosphere and aesthetic of the 1990s Tales of the Jedi comics.

What aspects of the galaxy's lore, storytelling, worldbuilding, architecture, character designs, technology, or overall atmosphere do you think would be worth incorporating? I'm especially interested in ideas that could help make the setting feel distinct from both Canon and Legends while still capturing that ancient, mythic Star Wars feel.

I'm also curious about what kind of storyline you think would be interesting for a campaign like this, especially one that moves away from the usual Jedi vs. Sith conflict. Could a campaign focused on criminal syndicates, rival cartels, bounty hunters, and the galactic underworld work well in this setting?

For context, the party consists of three characters: a Hutt Sith and two bounty hunters, one Anzati and one Gen'Dai.

I'd love to hear your suggestions, whether they're specific visual references, narrative themes, or broader ideas about how to make this kind of setting work!

Based on the general idea that the New Republic was just a rehash of the old and didn't really fix any of the issues with the Old. How could the NR have been structured to avoid the problems of the old? Because it seems to me that blinding yourself to an external threat and wanting to stop before the enemy is fully crushed because the people are tired of war are both foibles to l common to basically any democratic system

In TPM, the Council (more specifically Ki-Adi-Mundi, but shared by Windu so I suppose it's agreed) that the Sith is gone or else they would have sense them. However, since the Sith should have been gone for so long, no one would have "senses" of the Sith. So they were assuming they would sense the Sith, or other similar challenging events in the wider Galaxy, not just Force-sensitive events like the Sith.

We see it again in AotC, when Obi-wan reports the clone army. Windu and Yoda both agree they failed to sense the clone army, their foresight has diminished and they probably should to report this to the Senate. Suggesting not only their foresight is not-Force-related-events only, but also such powers are used in the past to alert the Senate or other policymakers, and the fact should be reported.

(Slight tangent, actually, how did the Jedi not sense all the events leading to the Clone Wars? Did Palpatine & Co. deliberately perform some kind of interference to hide their activity or the Jedi simply overestimated their abilities would be able to detect such disturbances?)

Considering we know there a few conflicts prior to the Clone Wars: Stark hyperspace war, the Huk/Kaleesh-Yam'rii war, the (latest of many) Mandalorian civil war, and many in Legends. If such is the case, do we know how many times, and to what extend do the Jedi Order sense or foresee any sort of big disturbances of galactic events and if they responded in some kind?

^{Other than Sifo-Dyas foreseeing and commission the clone army in the first place.}

To elaborate, imagine if the Death Star explosion is much greater than in canon, and simultaneously wipes out both the rebel fleet and the entire defending imperial fleet

Title. Assuming that he never dueled Kenobi and died (and desired to join the Alliance for whatever reason), would the rebels as a whole, or at least a few major cells, have attempted to use his services? How much would they have known about his previous crimes and manipulations? Also, what if he tried to brute force his way through Alliance leadership (e.g. Organa, Mothma, etc.)?

I know that Luke uses the force to guide the torpedoes down the exhaust port, but would it have been possible without that?

I believe the X-wings were retrofitted with the torpedoes so they weren't really suited to make the shot, but maybe the Y-Wings which are actually purpose made bombers could have done it if only they were fast enough to dodge the TIE fighter fire?

I seem to recall the old EU said that the trench run was later used as a training sim for pilots later on?

What I am specifically asking is:

* What Are the laws (both written or unwritten) of the force that prevents them from going all out into God Mode (in the same vein as Starkiller or Luke Skywalker) at the drop of the hat?

* How long does it take for a force user to train, study, gain experiences and win some fights to get to any power level to feasibly lift a tank off the ground then smash it against the wall and wipe out whole squads of gunmen on their own for example?

* How risky and dangerous it is for any force user to try to break their limits at the cost of their bodies taking debilitating toll (like torn muscles, broken bones, bleeding noses, migraines, ETC)

* What sacrifices must any force user offer to get anywhere to their peak performances when wielding the power of the force?

* What happens when any Jedi, Sith, Dark Jedi or any other practitioner of the (like say the Aing-Tii) attempt to both literally and metaphorically punch above their weight when they try to take on an entire army on their own with just the force and their lightsabers?

Hi!
So this is something that has been bugging me for a long time.
In the Clone Wars show, there's an episode in which the CIS attacks Kamino (and I believe that event also happens in Legends, if I'm not mistaken. Never actually read the comic books, though).

But why would Dooku and Palpatine allow such a thing to happen? I always felt like this would jeopardize the war, and therefore, the Plan, if the CIS managed to win.

Now, I don't know if there's an official explanation to this. But I thought about two headcanon theories that could explain this (It's been a while since I actually watched the episode of the show, so tell me if I'm wrong on the details).

1. As far as I remember, Dooku is not in that one episode. So a simple explanation could simply be that Grevious decided on his own to attack the planet, without approval from Dooku. HOWEVER, I seem to remember that Ventress is in the episode. And given the fact that Ventress is Dooku's apprentice, I suppose this means that Dooku would be aware about the whole thing and allowed Ventress to join the battle, so this explanation doesn't really work.

2. Another possible explanation. Now, at first, I thought that defeating Kamino would jeopardize the war, but actually, not really! I mean, there are already millions of clones stationed everywhere around the galaxy. The Republic already has all the clones they need. Sabotaging the production of clones wouldn't really change anything to the war, because once a clone is born, it takes 10 years for them to reach maturity anyway!

Now, why would Palpatine order the attack on Kamino? My theory, is that at this point of the war, maybe Palpatine has already decided that after the war, all the clones will be replaced by human recruits for his new Empire. And as stated earlier, every new clone needs a whole decade before being ready for war, and Palpatine knows that he will absolutely not need any additional clones in 10 years!

So basically, Kamino had already served its purpose and Palpatine doesn't need it anymore. BUT he cannot simply say to the senate, right in the middle of the war :''We are going to stop clone production''. I'm sure there would be outrage. That would be as if Roosevelt, during WWII, decided to stop the production of military equipment. So instead, he relies on the CIS to stop the clone production.

HOWEVER, I then remembered that in this same season of the show (or another season maybe? I don't remember), there's an episode in which, iirc, Palpatine declares to the senate that they are going to increase clone production (which doesn't make much sense, since again, even if you increase clone production, it will take a whole decade before those clones are ready to fight...).

So yeah, do you guys have any theory? Or is there an official explanation to this?

(In this post, I talked about the episode of the Clone Wars show, but you can still talk about the Kamino invasion in Legends too!)

Thanks and may the Force be with you!

My knowledge of the lore is not hugely extensive but I'm pretty sure not all Imperials were treated as war criminals. We've known of many defectors and ex-Imperials throughout Legends and Canon but I'm not actually aware how Stormtroopers were treated after the fall of the Empire. Surely not all of them joined the Remnants and not all of them were zealots.

Anyway as a thought, what do you suppose will happen to the First and Final Order post IX? Knowing that many of the FO were kidnapped children, would they try to reunite them with their long lost families? Would they try and assess if these soldiers are capable of being reintegrated into galactic society or if they've become too indoctrinated?

The Final Order, now there's a more curious point. Presuming they've never known anything else besides being raised on that planet and the Sith teachings, what do you even do with them?

Starfighter will address the fact that the state of the galaxy is not likely to be a very civil and lawful one after the Sequel trilogy but whether we find out much about what happens to the FO, who knows. So what do you think?

Papa Palpatine is almost always presented as the man who can do anything now as the Emperor with a dark robe and deformed face and cackling as he shoots lighting out of his fingers at the bickering politicians, the corrupt bureaucrats, or the incompetent officials. But was he actually the all-power emperor as presented? Surely running a galaxy-spanning government means reasonable concessions and comprises on certain things to smooth things over.

I don't mean things that are physically impossible to accomplish ("Take the planet Corusant and push it somewhere else"); operationally unable to achieve ("I want all the rebels in the galaxy dead tomorrow by 2"); things he never express interest to ("Liberate all the slaves and institute an universal basic income").

Anything he clearly wanted to do as Emperor, but due to how much trouble it would do he didn't do it. Like disbanding the Senate, which he couldn't do it before the Death Star was completed.
The things he, as the legal, political, and administrative powers recognized as Emperor of the Galactic Empire, could do.

Do we have any media portraying the main forms of power generation in the galaxy? Not for ships or weapons, but everyday power grids connected to homes, businesses, etc. Would something like nuclear energy be seen as primative?

It came to my attention, especially after reading an unpublished article called Faith Reborn: A Sith Dynasty (theres a link that leads to the actual article in the notes and references section) that Lumiya actually had the same nerfs that Suit Vader had. However, while this isnt necessarily new information, the article does mention that even skills such as alchemical mastery and Force lightning are beyond Lumiya due to a lack of midichlorians.

This thus made me wonder if another relatively common ability for Sith such as Force drain (an ability even used by the average inquisitor and dark side adept in the EU. Remember, the citizens of Prakith were being drained by inquisitors for example) were also beyond her scope especially because in one of the LOTF books this is whats said:

Lumiya waited until her medical droid was set up beside her reclining chair. She was healing well—she should be fit to return to physical activities within a few days. She was still weak, though, and wanted care to be instantly available if this task caused her to collapse.
She closed her eyes and let the dark side power that suffused the asteroid roll over her, through her.
Then she began looking, through the Force, for a distant target—a mind she had touched many times and reshaped during those contacts, a mind she had made so familiar and distinct she could find it even halfway across the galaxy.
It helped that she knew on what world the mind was to be found, but even so it was long, wearying minutes before she found it—to her inner eye it was a distinctive yellow glow, surrounded by tiny gleaming sparks of red. Fewer sparks than before; the efforts of the enemy to diminish her influence had apparently been successful in part.
But only in part. Lumiya smiled. The enemy’s techniques were nowhere near as effective as hers.
She approached the mind until it filled her vision, and she planted herself there, making its location an anchor point for her consciousness.
Now for the second phase of this elaborate Sith technique. She drew back from her target mind, seeking other mentalities in the area. And there they were, glows of various hues, none of them, sadly, decorated with the red sparks of her influence.
She sampled each in turn. Most were awake—firm, more resolute than she could affect at this distance. Others were too fragmented; when she touched them they tended to drift apart into smaller, incoherent glows, and she knew that these were the minds of the inmates … the patients.
Then she found one that was firm, grounded, but not so resistant to her touch. Its owner was asleep. Lumiya sampled it further, found it to be the mind of a Quarren female.
Like a spectral parasite, she affixed herself to that mind, forging a connection, drawing energy out of it and the body that sustained it. She could not draw that energy into herself, though she badly needed sustenance now; she could feel her own body begin to shake from the strain. But she could, and would, put the energy to use.

This made me wonder; was she unable to use such an ability due to the fact that she literally cant (probably due to her cybernetics) or because that energy was being used to create Force phantoms? Originally I thought it was the latter but now Im no longer sure.

This also made me wonder about Vader as well, as the article compared Lumiya's condition to Vader's and as we know Vader and Force Lightning are a whole topic by themselves.
Yet as I actually thought about it more, I found myself unable to recall a single time in which Vader ever used force drain or was listed in a sourcebook as knowing such an ability let alone practiced Sith Alchemy. Sure, as Anakin, he learned how to resist Force drain and he did teach Kharys how to create Smoke Demons but thats about it.

Assuming Sidious was defeated and the Republic had won the war, what exactly did the Republic have planned for their Clones? Would they have just been nameless soldiers as before or given a choice to leave the Republic for their own lives or stay as a sort of police force as they were on most planets after the war under Sidious?

I’m primarily asking what would the republic and Jedi do if a planet was pro sith and liked the sith and didn’t like the Jedi order would the Jedi just attack the planet or accept that a planet was pro sith or would something else happen

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and it’s something that lowkey bothers me. In both the movies and shows, the Republic is stated to be “buying” clones from Kamino the same way one would buy a product. The Kaminoans honestly treat the clones like products, and the Jedi/the Republic are the customers. I recently saw an excerpt from a guide book about clone troopers and their lore, but it’s (sadly) no longer canon. In it, a senator argues that clones have less rights and protections than some plants, which got me thinking again. I’ve also been discussing with people whether or not the clones are enslaved (I can and lowkey have written an essay on why they fit all the classifications of slaves), and one thing I think about is if the Republic legally considers the clones to be, well, people.

Do they have the same legal status as droids, which would align with the way they are treated as products and would explain the Republic’s ability to justify their treatment? Are they classified as non-sapient animals, which acknowledges them as living beings, but still allows them to be bought and owned? Are they considered sapient, but don’t have the same legal rights or protections as other sapient species? Or are they somehow considered citizens of the Republic? Do they even have citizenship?

I’m not talking about after the war, as I believe that they probably gained citizenship afterwards. I’m focusing on how the Republic justified this during the war, especially at the beginning. After all, how can they be “bought” if they are legally classified as people?

She was born rich

Her parents were modest at best. Her father was a professor at the University of Theed, later became president of the Refugee Relief Movement, and her mother was involved in social services roles. Also they moved to Theed, the capital of Naboo so that they could give Padme good education.

She was racist

Age 7, she and her parents were trying to save an alien civilization. Their star was dying. They evacuated them to another planet, but because of a miscalculation by Republic Scientists the whole civilization died. She was traumatised by this.

Later after years when she became a senator she told Clovis (and also Anakin) that she would try 10,000 times to just save even a single person from that alien civilization if she could right now.

It was the catalyst why she joined the Legislative Youth Program at 8 (which was basically MIT on steroids) and sacrificed her personal life for more than decade and skipped her entire childhood.

Also she worked 3 days passing bills and helping alien people of a nobody planet without sleep.

Planet's name was Bromlarch.

Before Padme stepped in, the people of Bromlarch were facing total systemic neglect. Because it was an outer/mid-rim planet lacking major political leverage, the rest of the Galactic Senate was prepared to stall, debate, or propose useless "auditing teams" rather than send immediate material help. She was the one who actively spoke for them. After the bill was passed, she wasn't just sitting in her comfort on Coruscant. She actually went to their world and helped them to physically piece the broken aqueducts back together. Also she didn't rest after spending 3 days without sleep; she just immediately went there to help them.

And in AOTC, especially in the novel, her reaction to Anakin after he confronted her about the Tuskens wasn't that it was justified; she thought it was understandable for anybody in his position to snap after seeing it. The number 30 is a lot overlooked. Tatooine during AOTC had only 200k people on it. Farmers were a minority and their population density was a lot lower. Shmi suffered for a month in AOTC. She realised they weren't torturing her for no reason; they were measuring how much pain she could feel and endure without dying. It was a ritual, and she was left starved and sleepless. It wasn't just a gang of that tribe; it was the whole tribe. Also, they knew that many farmers would come for Shmi; they used her as bait. It's explicitly said in the novel. So when he confronted her, she wasn't saying it was justified; she was saying anybody would have snapped after seeing his mother suffer like that (while also being clouded by visions) and knowing that his mother was used as bait to wipe out the entire district of working class farmers.

Clovis was her ex

Padme was new in Republic, she realized she needed allies to navigate the corrupt Senate. They spent weeks working together (it was all professional) to draft a planetary relief bill. Because Padme was spending so much time with him and treating him warmly as a trusted colleague, he completely mistaken her professional collaboration for romantic attraction.

The moment the Senate officially voted to pass their relief bill, Clovis went to Padme's office to celebrate. Riding the adrenaline high of their political win, he suddenly stepped into her personal space, grabbed her, and forced the kiss. She was horrified by this, froze for a second and immediately forcefully pushed him away said no multiple times, She made it clear it was professional.

She cut off all unnecessary private contact, avoided late-night working sessions when she was alone with him and stopped informal discussions. She then kept interactions strictly minimal and professional.

She started avoiding him heavily and was a lot disgusted even her handmaiden asked her if she wanted him to get beaten. And it doesn't even make sense she having a romantic interest in someone before Anakin (Obviously excluding Palo her childhood crush at 12) Because it conflicts with AOTC arc.

Jedi literally knew her reaction and still asked her to use her that "connection" to spy on him

She was actively seducing Anakin and groomed him in AOTC

Her dress choices in AOTC wasn't how she normally dressed. She had no personal life and she didn't take a day off work without great reasons. Her wardrobe choice wasn't random or to seduce anakin (except fireplace dress though i will cover it read further), She's from naboo. People often love to express themselves through their clothes on naboo. She was queen previously (14 to 18) (before at 12-13 princess of theed the capital) she was literally expected to symbolise values naboo believed in as a queen. Clothing wasn't just to look good it was for deception too like you can see her height is 1.65 meters but when she's in her queen outfit she's 1.85 to 1.90 meters tall. She had to appear rigid whole day while maintaining a good posture to appear authoritative. She also developed a new different voice as "Queen amidala voice" to appear authoritative. She took same lessons to coruscant too where her dresses were deliberately made to appear authoritative while also symbolising the values naboo believed in. Basically her wardrobe normally was very rigid. In AOTC even after she got assassination attempts, she still wanted to stay and work but it was jedi who made her go to naboo. It was a lot safe on naboo and she was basically off work.

It was the only and longest time she went off work since the age of 12 (or even 8, because even during her training she often kept herself busy in training while her older peers were enjoying their childhood). Why wouldn't someone dress comfortably after wearing rigid clothes for years (more than a decade since 12 or 14)? Also, again, she was from Naboo. Also, she didn't avoid Anakin because he was a Jedi, she avoided him because she was slightly insecure (look at the conversation between her and her sister sola in deleted scenes or AOTC novel or EK Johnston's Queen trilogy), Because she was very lonely since the age of 14 or 12 or even 8. She wanted to avoid him, at the same time she wanted him to break into her heart; it's also the reason why she wears that fireplace dress. In the AOTC novel, she knew it wasn't a good idea to wear that dress to avoid him, but at the same time, she wanted him. It was Anakin who was actively flirting with her while knowing the Jedi Code; it took a life-threatening situation like Geonosis for her to finally admit she loved him. She loved him because he didn't think how he could use her, loved her for who she was, and was very authentic compared to the people she met in her life.

She didn't care about her handmaiden Teckla in clone wars

Teckla hid it; understanding how the handmaidens work is important. On Naboo, handmaidens aren't just bodyguards. They were trained in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, evasion tactics, and weapon concealment. They underwent rigorous training to completely erase their individual physical tells. They learned to match Padme’s voice, breathing patterns, walking pace, and posture so perfectly that even their parents couldn't tell them apart once in makeup (as seen in E.K. Johnston's Queen's Trilogy).

They were trained to be entirely selfless for the Queen. They were taught to hide their feelings and thoughts as part of their training and weren't expected to talk about their personal issues with the Queen without a good reason. Though they were also meant to ensure the Queen didn't feel lonely, Padme kept herself heavily busy with work, so Teckla hid her struggles out of a sense of duty. Many senators themselves had no idea that the war was heavily affecting Coruscant too, but once Padme knew, i am sure she undoubtedly helped Teckla and her family.

Because If you have read E.K. Johnston's Queen's Trilogy, you already know how terrible this take is, because her handmaidens were very close to her arguably the closest people in her life. It was basically a sisterhood. Still, they were bound by duty, so obviously they wouldn't randomly complain about their own problems if the Queen was busy with other important matters. Because they were fiercely selfless, the handmaidens prioritized the Queen's needs and work above their own lives, which is why Teckla hid her situation, just as she was taught in her training.

Side note:

She heavily sacrificed her personal life and skipped her entire childhood for others, for her work, for her entire life (since 8 or 12) and let just one guy get close to her and that one guy who finally gave her a personal life, turned against her at end of ROTS and destroyed everything she believed in and all of her life's work for which she heavily sacrificed her personal life for. So it makes sense that she lost the will to live also sw is basically fantasy too.

Another interpretation is death of the republic. At that point she was basically embodying republic. The republic dying, the empire's enforcer rising and the republic giving birth to new rebel alliance it was symbolic, it may not be what creators wanted but based on movies and novels i believe in this.

Also she's objectified a lot by people at this point i just hate it.

Per Wookiepedia:

Orn Belden was a Bakuran male senator in the Bakuran Senate, a position he held since before the foundation of the Galactic Empire and represented the Bakur RepulsorCorp in the Senate that was instrumental in the export industry that Bakura was chiefly known for. He was 164 years old by the time of the Bakura Incident.

Is there an explanation for how he can be this old as a human? Nobody else seems to live this long in /Star Wars without being somewhat force sensitive.

If Jedi/Sith can sense the next move sentient beings make, shouldn’t they have a harder time fighting droids since they’re not alive?

I truly think Dessel could become a good man and a great jedi had he been trained as one.

-He seems like an ok guy at the beginning of POD:

He has a friendly relationship with the local barkeep Groshik to the point where Groshik was willing to risk his neck to get Dessel away from Apatros so he could escape Republic custody. He has an extremely toxic relationship with his father and his life overall is a living hell but he still is able to make friends.

-He isnt sadisticly evil:

Death to Bane in the books was a means to an end. He never really revelled in the pain of others. The author even pointed to that multiple times. Did he enjoy a good fight? Yea sure. But that could easily just be the dark side feeding off his rage during his fights. In comparison to what Zannah did to her cousin and the healer, Bane seems like an angel.

-He has insane discipline and genuinely enjoys expanding his knowledge by reading and viewing holocrons:

I think Dessel would have a field day in the jedi archives had he been recruited by them. If Bane was obsessed with the few scrolls he found in the library at Korriban the guy would probably live in the jedi archives. His discipline would be a huge asset as well. We see multiple times that Bane has the patience to see a plan though to the end. Patience is an extremely important part of jedi training.

-He is able to get over his traumatic past:

As evidenced by his duel against Zannah who tried to torment Bane with memories of his father but had no effect on him, he is able to let go of his past. If Dessel as a Sith who feed off rage was able to let go of his painful past, as a jedi he would most definitely would be able to do this too. I think his past is probably the greatest thing that could potentially weighed heavy on Dessel but he was able to get over it and focus on the future as a Sith. As a Jedi I think it would be even easier for him with the right master training him.

-His time with the Gloomwalkers:

Dessel genuinly cared for his squad during his time as a soldier and part of the Gloomwalkers squad. He made multiple calls during missions to make sure his squad didn't get killed. And when the Sith Empire was taking him to be court marshalled he gestured to his squad to not get involved so they wouldn't get shot by the imperial soldiers. This shows the Dessel was capable of true compassion.

Some points against this though, because I don't want to seem one sided:

-Bane has a huge problem with rigid rules that he disagrees with:

As seen by how he utterly destroyed all the Sith just simply because he disagreed with how they were running things, much like Anakin, Dessel would run in to alot of trouble with authority. He would probably want to do things his way and would view the jedi's rigid rules as foolish. This could totally pave the way to him falling to the dark side.

-Bane's thirst for knowledge could turn to a thirst for power:

Bane was always looking to expand his power by pouring over ancient scrolls and holocrons. This hunger could still potentially show up during his time as a jedi and lead him to the dark side.

So what do you think? Did Dessel have a chance to become a hero or is he destined to always be the villain?

Go crazy and feel free to call me out on my BS lol

Is it ever explained in star wars lore how real world accents in the star wars galaxy work. Can literally anyone have a different accent regardless of where in the galaxy they are or what planet they're from? Or does geographic location play any sort of role in whether a Human or Alien being has a British, American, or other accent? Don't care if the lore is legends or canon. I'm just wondering if this was ever a topic that's been covered before.

I’m rewatching the Mandelorian and these things seem kinda nuts. It even tracked Grogu with just the last four digits of his chain code.

Warning: going to be saying 'Jango' way too much

Obviously he is really important to the plan, being the clone template, but I have to wonder just how much of what Jango did was foreseen/approved/instructed by Palpatine, so lets take it point for point.

1. Getting tracked to Kamino, I believe it is very reasonable that Palpatine wanted the cloning facilities to be found, as Jango used a tracible dart in a world of blasters. However, I have another point to this in the final paragraph section that really muddies this being a part of the plan.

2. Escaping from Kamino to Geonosis, on surface level seems to make sense as it would expose the droid factories, but pitting an ordinary guy against a Jedi seems really damn risky, but also this guy has killed Jedi before so what if he just killed Obi-wan? Also also, it seemed like the Fetts were caught mid getaway so if Obi-wan showed up a couple minutes too early or too late Jango could have been arrested or get away without being tracked which seems counter to the intention.

3. Fighting Obi-wan in space, this one really makes me question how much of this was Jango being instructed and how much was this the Jedi getting lucky and figuring out more than intended. This happens before Obi-wan can report anything about Geonosis, so why did Jango do it? If he was instructed to lead the Jedi to both the army sights (as there doesn't seem to be any reason not to do both) surely Palpatine would want Jango to follow him and see everything so he can report it to the Jedi council and the Republic, but Jango just goes off and tried to kill Obi-wan which he nearly does (also almost makes it so he can't make the report).

4. Fighting the Jedi in the arena, this one is kind of small since his role in the plan is likely complete and he probably just got himself killed biting off more than he could chew with Mace, but if Jango didn't jump in and just stayed with Dooku then what did Palpatine have in mind? Having a hired gun with no real loyalty to either side who is integral to the creation of the clones and knows who hired him flying about the galaxy seems very dangerous. And even if they paid him to hang around and help them in the war, the chance he could be caught by the Jedi seems way too high a risk to take.

I find Jango's role in the plan is really confusing, and if it was Palpatine's goal to expose the two armies of the incoming clone war, then Jango seemingly took extra actions that would jeopardize the plan for seemingly no reason. And even if Jango didn't know he was being played, then I don't see in any world he basically be risking Boba by using darts tracing right back to where his son lives where letting Zam speak would likely give the Jedi the name Tyranus which tells the Jedi as much as he himself told the Jedi, which tells them nothing.
