Classes:
Instead of Jedi, Nocturne Arcana uses sorcerors. They are the Jedi class in every way, with a few exceptions. Replace anything that references Jedi with Sorceror

Sorceror
Flavor
-Sorcerors are not an organization, rather they are the caster class. Jedi are referred to as sorcerors, witches or wizards. The Force is their magical power, for which individual practioners have numerous names.

Instead of Weapon Proficiency(Lightsabers), Sorcerors may begin with
Weapon Proficiency(Advanced Melee Weapons)
Or with proficiency in a single Exotic Melee Weapon.

Jump and Mechanics are class skills for all Sorcerors

All Sorcerors have a weapon of choice. Many choose swords and staves as focuses for their arcana.
Weapon of Choice (Ex)
The first time you take a Sorceror class, you choose one type of melee weapon. That is your Weapon of Choice. Lightsaber oriented techniques, feats and skills can now be applied to the Weapon of Choice
Magic Weapon(Ex)-
At 7th level, a Sorceror may imbue his weapon with magical power. This ceremony takes 24 hours and 1,500 wealth. At the end of this ceremony, roll DC 20 Use the Force, you cannot take 20, If the check succeeds you complete the ceremony. If you fail, you must take another 24 hours to perform the ceremony again.
Once the ceremony is finished, you must spend a Force Point to attune the weapon.
The Sorceror gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls with a weapon he has imbued.

Scoundrel
Hyperdriven:
Use your class level instead of scoundrel level.

Replace the Spacehound Talent with:
Ship's Hand:

You are proficient with all vehicle weapons, and take no penalty for using tools and vehicle parts (Such as pipes and beams) as improvised weapons.

Skills:
-Use Computer is not available as a skill

The Force:
The Force works as detailed within the Force section. The nature of the Force is the nature of magic. Techniques can be learned from books, teachers and other similiar sources. The Darkside represents dark magic, and the Lightside represents good magic. Magics not labelled are universal to all practictioners of magic. Thus, using dark magic will slowly remove your ability to use light magic.

Light magic typically concerns defense and healing
Dark magic typically deals with inflicting destruction and suffering
