Been in a similar spot - two or three years ago, I closed up all my old characters and started a whole new slate of them, just full-bore 'kill it if you have to' mode. Some of the new characters didn't hook me, but I wound up with Quill and Jerec, two favorites and main characters. Recently I let myself bring back one of the old faces, Ashin, but only because someone went and killed her wife in some invasion and it gave Ashin all kinds of purpose. All that to say, I wholeheartedly endorse starting fresh and seeing where it takes you.
If you want to write a Jedi of whatever stripe, there's all kinds of options and possibilities. I can also fully recommend Darkwire - cyberpunk land. Great people.
