[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 6159843, member: 27252"] Want! Demand! Geek-squeek! :) The original Star Wars trilogy wasn't proliferated with Jedi - hence "Return of the Jedi" got it's name. The Edge of Empire is aimed clearly at running Hans Solo type narratives, which I believe is pretty popular in itself. If they didn't have Force sensitive options, the OP may have a point, but the fact is the game is being faithful to the setting where Jedi are so rare after being hunted to a point of extinction, that the people living in it think that the Force is just some "hokey religion". They'll make new games with different aspects in good time, but in my view the D20 versions of the Star Wars games were deeply flawed on the grounds that nobody wanted to play anything that wasn't a Jedi! And Star Wars has more to offer than that - a point that may be shown if people actually play the new game with an open mind. Star Wars doesn't have to be a power fantasy to be cool. In the case of The One Ring, I just think that the pace of supplements has been slower than hoped as Cubicle had to juggle a lot of other games and business issues in recent months. And lets face it, the Middle Earth setting needs a lot of detail and attention if it going to be done well. My only issue with The One Ring as it stands is that you can't play a Gandalf wizard figure in it - for reasons of canon, unfortunately. The rest of the material will come out in due course, and should not be rushed. [/QUOTE]
