Well, oficially our jedi is the mission leader for the overall mission, at least as far as the New Republic is concerned.<br/><br/>As for talking about a plan: By all means do so. You are free to treat the opening post in Chapter 1 as just scene setting and "flashback" to mission planing. Chances are you will end up approaching the base (one way or another) sometime during the night so I just wanted to describe that part a little, to get the ball rolling. Doesn't mean you have to continue the scene from that exact moment, as long as we reach something vaguely resembling the opening scene eventually.  :-)
