Honestly I'm just having fun imagining the downright insane, twisted training HK-47 would devise for Luke to make him as strong as possible.

While Luke is juggling rocks with the Force, balancing on a unicycle on one foot, deflecting blaster shots and parrying electroblade blows from B1 Battle Droids, while also getting pitched shock balls with grenades mixed in by HK-47.

Luke: "Haa! Haa! How am I doing, HK?!"

HK-47: "Observation: Fairly acceptable for an amateur, Master. Addendum: Don't fret, it took Master Revan a long time to get past Level One."

Luke: "This is Level One?!"

HK-47: "Statement: Of course, Master!" *lower voice* "Addendum: As far as you know, Master."

Leia had arrived for a visit with Luke, and she brought the twins. Luke happily held his nephew and niece as they babbled, while Leia went over some documents with Luke.

Leia: "Luke, you really need to file your documentation correctly. You're big enough to be a non-profit, after all, you should take advantage of that!"

Luke: "Ugh... But Leia, we're no where near as big as the old Jedi Order!"

Leia: "So? You need to do this properly! You're operating a school slash non-government paramilitary unit! You need to do your taxes correctly!"

Luke: "It's also a religious order, isn't there an exemption for that?"

Leia: "If your religious order didn't have a habit of blowing up Imperial warships and space stations, probably."

Luke: sighs, bouncing Jacen and Jaina on his knees "You two better enjoy your time of not doing financial paperwork."

Leia: "Come on, Luke! It's not that hard! You got this planet, after all."

Luke: "Wait, I own this planet?!"

Leia: exhausted sigh "Yes, you own Yavin IV! It was bequeathed to you when you asked for a place to set up your Jedi Academy!"

Luke: "I thought Mon Mothma was just giving me the temple complex and grounds-The whole planet is mine?!"

Leia: "How did you survive as a squadron commander with this low level of self awareness?!"

Luke: deadpan "The Force."

Leia: "The Force doesn't work that way!"

Luke: "Yes it does!"

Aphra pops in, and picks up Jaina and coos over her.

Aphra: "Awww... Your uncle owns a planet! Auntie Aphra is gonna have to rethink her friends only policy towards him! Yes she is, yes she is!"

Mara enters as well, scowling.

Mara: "You seriously didn't know you owned the planet, Farmboy?"

Luke: "No, I didn't!"

Aphra: "Hey, he's handsome, powerful, rich, and dumb. Perfect combination, if you ask me!"

Jaina giggles and Aphra's cap floats off her head.

Aphra: "Woah! She can already do that, huh?"

Jacen, crying a bit, reaches out his hand and Mara's lightsaber strains against her belt.

Mara: "Oh geez-No! None of that!"

The two babies begin to cry. Leia takes them into her arms and sooths them gently.

Leia: "Yeah, they're pretty excitable. Our nannies have their hands full when they throw tantrums."

Aphra: "You didn't have to make them upset, Mara."

Mara: "I didn't! He shouldn't have a lightsaber!"

Luke: "So... Can you two help me with this financial paperwork, by any chance?"

Aphra: "HA! Last time I did any real financial paperwork was for my student loans!"

Mara: "Don't look at me. Talon's got accountants for that."

Luke: sigh

Rotta enters.


Rotta: "Master Luke! I uh... Oh! Hello Your Highness."

Leia: gentle smile "Hello Rotta..."

Luke: "Hey Rotta. What's up?"

Rotta: "I was working on building my lightsaber but I... Oh! Republic 1134 forms? Applying to be a non-profit, huh Master?"

Luke: "Uh... Yeah, we are. You're familiar with them?"

Rotta: "Sure! I grew up learning financial forms and taxation-All of that! I got shoved with all the paperwork and uh..."

Everyone is suddenly smiling at him.

Rotta: "... Oh."

And this is how Rotta became the New Jedi Order's accountant...

That never occurred to me that Luke might actually own that planet, maybe he should open a resort and get some money coming in :p. I guess they get money from the New Republic and donations (maybe even the old order's accounts are still around as I'm pretty sure that even old Palpy won't mess with the banks and the Imperial Revenue Service.

Well, really liking what I've read so far.

Having Rotta be Force sensitive is neat; Force-sensitive Hutts are rather powerful entities, simply because of how long they can live and how that translates to Force Mastery.

I want to see Rotta triple-wielding lightsabers with the Force!!

It gets worse. Hutts are easily as strong as a wookie or even stronger. So you could imagine what a close combat Hutt would be like. Especially if Rotta manages to grab a droideka shield.
Not as dangerous as you're implying. Arm length matters for leverage and wookies have longer arms allowing them to use their strength more effectively in combat. Hutt tails are not long enough in proportion to their width to constrict or coil to provide stability for a lunge denying them any potential advantage over legs. I'd bet on a wookie over a hutt of similar training and health any day.
