SWRPEDIA - Second Life Star Wars Roleplay Wiki

Consider this a constant work in progress. Don't take offense if your sim or group is missing - just add them to the list, try to be as accurate as possible.

2003

  • The earliest hints for a community in SL that was based on Star Wars can be found in the Second Life Forums Archive. In may 2003, SL user Derek Jones started a thread under the name: Proposed Community: Coruscant(Star Wars) (link to the actual thread). Apparently a group was founded to organize the efforts but the project never came to be.
  • A first Mandalorian group was around at this time (founded in October) - It was mostly a hangout group for people who were interested in Mandalorian culture. No significant interaction with other groups let alone roleplay occured.

2004

  • The roots of Star Wars Roleplay on Second Life lie in different sandboxes (like Cordova) where people gathered to rebuild items or have first 'in character' interactions. First Jedi and Sith roleplayers emerged from these settings. The roleplay in these early stages was very distinct from what later evolved out of it. Usually there was no clear seperation of what was to be considered ic/ooc and it generally involved a lot of griefing.
  • Jedi Temple (group) founded by Nakio Rutherford. Technically maybe the first Jedi Group that existed on Second Life but due to the aforementioned conditions of swrp in its early stages the group's legacy is in question.
  • Galactic Empire group founded by Mary Edison in July 2004.
  • There was another Galactic Empire group that was founded in August 2004 by Jerricko Martov. Most likely the group was just an ooc gathering of Star Wars fans and no roleplay occured within the group. They gave out free Stormtrooper outfits upon signup. Free Tie Fighters and Lightsabers were announced in the group's description.
  • At least two other larger Jedi groups existed prior to Master Marcus' order: Jedi Masters of the Force (largely OOC in nature) founded by Kyron Drago and the Jedi Legion founded by Wolf Zaius. There was no substantial IC/RP actions from these groups.
  • The Jedi Order founded by Greg Manhattan, Hunter Shaw and Marcus Moreau. There was a small temple built for this order, and later a cliffside retreat (details here).
  • Mandalorians group founded by Dazzo Street (4th quarter of 2004).

  • Dark Lords of the Sith group founded by Darth Padar.
  • Korriban sim opened. The first full sim in the history of SWRP. (Owner: Darth Padar; Builder: Lian Hornet).
  • Grand Army of the Republic group founded by Yuri Fonzarelli and Koukla Twilight.
  • The first Lightsaber Construction Kits are developed (Jora Welesa) now enabling to have real saber combat with physical effects on the opponents. The use of the infamous push sabers truly changed the Star Wars experience on Second Life, making it more immersive and thus attracting more new players than before. After an issue involving allegedly stolen scripts by another SL User the LCK's since version 2.0 were open source.
