[QUOTE="alien270, post: 6160218, member: 6698097"] At the risk of making a very generalized statement, I just realized how funny it is that so many Star Wars fans are eager to disown the prequels, and yet get so upset about the exclusion of full-on Jedi Knights from a game about the OT. Seriously, the Force Sensitive Exile describes every single non-Sith Force user in the OT. Not sure how many of the "I want Jedi!" crowd have actually looked through or played the game, but the Force Sensitive Exile can do a LOT. It costs a ton of XP, but anything except Force Lightning is doable with the existing powers. Heck, a lot of the prequel/EU stuff can be done, too. The biggest handicap that the FSE has is the lack of a Lightsaber skill, as well as the prohibitive cost of lightsabers. The lightsaber stats are still there, though, and the book flat out says that GMs can opt to giving PCs a Lightsaber skill. Looking at the lightsaber battles in the OT, though, I'm not convinced that Luke even HAD training. Obi-Wan died before he could teach him to be anything more than "good against remotes." Yoda didn't even have a lightsaber, so sparring was out of the question. Sure, Luke's growing connection with the Force made him more effective than any old schmuck with a lightsaber, but in EotE mechanical terms that's probably the result of the the "combat-reflexes" chain of upgrades to the Sense power, and perhaps the Superior Reflexes and/or Sixth Sense Talents. You could totally build Luke with EotE, and even what we saw of Obi-Wan from the OT. Can you really fault FFG for ignoring the prequels as much as most fans do? [/QUOTE]
