[QUOTE="Agatheron, post: 6160370, member: 6694086"] Somewhere earlier in this thread, someone commented that Firefly was basically Star Wars without the Jedi. While that may we'll be true, Star Wars came first. Firefly was cool because it picked up on the scum and villainy vibe of Star Wars, amped up the western elements that were already there, and made something equally good. Yet Firefly was good because it showed that lots of stories can be told in such an environment. Edge of the Empire knows this and has demonstrated it very well... Plus it does have the option for using Force-sensitives in an era where they are all in hiding. Lightsabers exist, but they are dangerous and very rare. I suspect rolling a despair result with one might end up with a self-inflicted amputation! What I have seen with EotE is an excellent start to a building franchise. It may not have everything that people might want, but it is a complete system to itself that is also part of a larger whole. I would also say that truthfully, the characters created in EotE are far more likely to engage far more of the various reaches of the Star Wars galaxy than even the Rebellion or Jedi might. The sewers of Coruscant or the spice mines of the outer rim are much more likely to be locations you might find EotE characters... [/QUOTE]
