One of the ideas I have been throwing around in my head for a while now is that of a Dojo type after-school center. Though open all day as well for those on
different schedules (graveyard and such). Now the building would need to be bigger than your average McDojo found these days as you would want to incorperate
all the aspects of the Jedi Path.
- A Dojo type area for practice of Martial Application (Swordsmanship, Kata, Lightsaber Duels, Sparring, Working-out). Perhaps have an area to the side of that with some weights, Treadmill, Heavy Bag, and things of the like.
- Also a small Library and Bookstore. The library for Study Hall and just to read over various books, perhaps check them out briefly. And a bookstore to purchase certian books (and earn a little money to help keep the place going).
- Also with that maybe a Tea Shop, so the people can get a decent drink while they relax with a book or watch the Physical Training. Maybe a Ramen Noodle shop or something snacky with tht to offer some nibbles.
- I would have a place of meditation, both a quiet room with low lighting and peaceful music. And another place like a garden (in-doors or out, doesn't really matter), but have a zen garden in there, a couple water fountains (the more the better in my opinion), nice green trees/plants/grass, preferably a combination of those things. With comfortable benches, chairs, and pillows for people to sit and just relax and meditate.
- Lastly with all this I would add in specific classes, with specific times, based upon the Jedi Council's agreed standard/requirements. Run to train those who want to become Jedi Knights, and as an extension of what is taught online. (You would still have the online academy and than the students would get in-person instruction on the weekly lessons, or whatever)
So even if there were more than one Academy, they would all run classes off the Online Academy, so they would all be on the same schedule, based off the exact same material, as proved and moderated by the Jedi Council. That way a soild Foundation and Standard is kept in place. And you could have computers in the library area which allow for students to update thier online academy journal - keeping a center for all Jedi to interact.
Yes, in my mind they would have the Jedi Name.. Being called the Jedi Academy or something similar. And thus yes, they would have permission and acceptence from Big G and LucasFilms LTD.
