How about there are pilot episodes before season one of the Spinjitzu prodigies which it shows Sensei Wu's death with Lloyd and Kai present? (Kai would be 98 years old and his death would be sometime in between the pilot episodes and season 1. It would be implied rather than shown). So by the time season 1 comes around, Lloyd would be the only member of the Ninja team alive and would look to be in his mid-30s. The pilot episodes would also introduce the Ninja's great-grandchildren.

Also, if you have any ideas, I'd like to here any plot lines for season 1. What would the NInja's great grandkids do? What role would they play for Ninjago? I think the Civil War between Ninjago and Ogajnin should definitly happen, but in a later season. It would make more sense for the migration to the Dark Island to happen all throughout season 1-4 or 5 and the war should break out in season 5 or 6. So, what do you think?

1. I like the idea of pilot episodes.

2. Yes, maybe as opposed to Wu's death, just a funeral. I want him to die of age.

3. That's a good thought. The other ninja should die of old age (but between the pilot episodes and season 1 only), but still be around the same age. That means that Lloyd is their age when they've all died, but because of his family's longevity, he remains alive.

4. How should Zane die? I don't believe he has a way of dieing of old age, so I believe that he should either aid Lloyd until his death, or shut himself down when he believes he has served his purpose.

5. For starters, some of the great-grandchildren will be part of the spinjitzu academy, but others will have taken their own paths. The elemental power isn't inside them, so they're all normal kids that aren't forced into destiny.

6. Those great-grandchildren that are part of the spinjitzu academy are the main characters of the series. They and the other members of the academy (the 6-8 only masters of spinjitzu) protect Ninjago from evil (that comes and goes in small forms).

7. Yeah, the Civil War between Ogajnin (formerly the Dark Island for those that haven't read the other forum) should happen at some point I guess. But I definitely think that it should be populated, since it's the same size as Ninjago.

Yes, I meant Sensei Wu to die of old age. It wouldn't seem fit to have him live this long, and then die of unnatural causes. Also, Lloyd and Kai would be the only original ninjas left at the time of Wu's death, the others having died before, or in Zane's case, like you said, shutting himself down feeling as if he served his purpose. But, by the beginning of season 1, Lloyd will be the only one left. I think it would also be cool if, at the very beginning of the first pilot episode, it showed the same scene as the original of an old man walking towards a blacksmith shop, but instead of Wu, it would be Kai. This would be right before he hears the news that Wu is dieing.

The rest of your comment sets a sturdy base for further seasons to come, I think it's a good way to start the series.
