Backstory:

At the end of the Battle of Geonosis, the jedi's numbers had taken a hit. With the clones forming the army of the Republic, a group of jedi, while they were training padawans and force sensitives, decided that they needed to quickly replace the combat jedi lost in the battle. With the lack of need of the standard combat droids, they smuggled some of them off-world, and with adjustments from an off-world technician and his family, reprogrammed them for use in actual combat. LC-23 is the first and only droid of this model that is currently mission-ready as they await a chance to field-test it before powering up and releasing the others. Currently, LC-23 does what its original programming had it do, and trains padawans in the art of combat, being interactive in the corrections it gives, based on the style. LC-23 has been programmed with all current and outdated forms of jedi combat as well as the information surrounding them. It comes equipped with collapsible training sabers, however, during mission mode, it will pull its own lightsaber out of its chassis-- a purple lightsaber, given to it as a gift from one of the jedi. In addition, it also has an organic scanner which is not effective at seeing through walls, however helps it to distinguish a killable droid target vs a do-not-kill organic target. The programming of this is broad and as such, LC will not kill beasts and animals due to this. Its final gear, jump boosters, are attached to its feet, which function like a jump-pack, allowing him to leap high, but not sustain the height. While not programmed with a personality, LC is constantly in learn mode in which he learns about fight styles while fighting opponents and different tactics.
