I just found your story! I think the universe you choose is great and the fact that this is not actually a crossover but the events take part way before the original storyline is simply great for me, being a big fan of both verses. I am so happy the story is already finished XD I can read all in one go! And for the looks of this very first chapter the rest seems to be promisingly great!

I know this is an old fic, but I just found it.
I love this premise (the BAU as Jedi Knights).
I can't wait to see what happens!

So...I'm not a Star Wars geek (Trekkie over here), have never even seen all of the original three movies, nor the 'prequels'; but I know a little bit and the idea of the CM crew as Jedi Knights was just too good to pass up.
Basically, thank you so much for the notes! I honestly didn't know half that stuff xD
Now, I'm not much of a reviewer - I get too busy reading to actually stop and write - but I'll be reading the whole thing :)
And to judge by chapter one (and I'll be honest; I always do) this will be a great story.

I do wonder though; the title says 'Episode 1', and if you're keeping to pattern, there are/will be three. Are the others already out/done...? I tried to look, but sifting through 100 stories kinda defeated me.

On this chapter though; the instant I read Bufords name I got all snarly. Hard not to hate that guy, and I'm curious to see what role he will play in this story.
*reads further* (...I really should wait to write down these comments till after each chapter, but by then I've always forgotten what I wanted to say...) Ohhhh. Well, that makes sense!

Must say, I really enjoyed how you meshed the backstories and personalities of the CM crew into the world of Star Wars, though I've no clue how much of it is made up or canon; focusing crystals? Different colored sabers actually meaning something? I've no actual clue. It's awesome though!

*beams* Spencer Reid is my all-time Criminal Minds favorite character (shortly followed by Penelope), and his utter BAMF turned me into a squealing fangirl for the end of this chapter.

Thank you.

Back up lightsaber, Back up Gun. Me being non observant I proud I got the connection to Hotch's ankle gun.

I saw Kotor in the description and was like "I have to read this!" I didn't think people really cared about those games any more which is crazy. I find it strange however that Revan wasn't mentioned under famous Jedi Guardians.

LOL Reid has all the luck, first he nearly decapitates Strauss and now he makes her projectile vomit. Can this get any better?

This story is amazing. I feel so bad for Aaron and Spencer. I just won't them back together again even if it means that they leave the order. They won't ever truly be happy again until they are back together. I know you said their bond was broken, but I can't help but feel that their bond is stronger than everyone believes and if given the chance it will immediately spring back into place. I look forward to reading the second installment.

That was some journey! Thanks! Ready to read part 2 now! After the code Reid recited I'm more eager than ever to read more about his life under Darth Reaper's orders.

Seems Hotch was a lot more understanding than expected. With so much going on he would probably have to be. No time for resentment when two loves are lost in one day, I suppose. I'm interested in reading more about Reid sacrificing himself to the dark side. This should be good. Great work here!

Ahh! Reid has taken a hard fall. Can he be forgiven for doing nothing to save an innocent? He consciously made the decision of his own accord. Dualath gave him the option but he himself took it. A life-changing moment within a heart-pounding chapter!

I cried during Reid's memory of Diana's death. I couldn't hold back the tears when I got to the part about her living on solely through him. Heartbreaking. Yet beautifully said.

Feeling Reid's pain once again. OUCH. You are too good.

Hearing Hotch announce their capture in the ship was absolutely tragic. There was a consuming feeling of hopelessness when he said it. It takes extremely good writing to have readers feel the same emotions the characters do. Excellent chapter.

Yikes! Right as they were to be promoted in ranking.

Magnificent chapter! A lot of action! I was on the edge of my seat for a good portion of it. I enjoyed the way the premonition was forced to change it's course by Reid's interference. Really great writing on your part. It was a very satisfying rescue. Also enjoyed Master Syr recovering Emily and the delayed reveal of how that took place.
