'Guardian' and 'Consular'

Hey, I found this while looking for a good PbtA Star Wars game and like it quite a bit! Just a quick Q: the core rules list two Advanced Moves for the 'Consular' and 'Guardian'. The Consular move seems to match up pretty well with the Master's 'One With the Force/If You Should Strike Me Down' moves, but what was the Guardian's 'Remove Temptation'?

Ah! That's from an earlier draft. My starting points for playbooks were the 6 KOTOR classes. The Scout, Soldier, and Scoundrel playbooks lined up pretty well, but the farther I got into building the Jedi playbooks the more I felt I could make stronger playbooks for PbtA by tweaking them a bit. "The Consular" became "The Master" and the "Guardian" became "the Learner." I must have forgotten to change that bit in the core rules. Good catch!

Long story short, I'll fix it in the next draft. Thank you so much.

I figured as, and like it quite a bit (it's what really hooked my attention once I saw it)! I DO still wonder, just for curiosity's sake, what the Guardian move was gonna be!

Thank you so much! Honestly it was a bunch of moves that ended up on the Learner playbook, and one or two that are on the Master. Its core move wasn't very interesting, it just gave them a damage bonus with lightsabers.
