[QUOTE="Nate Jones, post: 3572688, member: 41976"] Interesting. Most of the attributes you found "bad" I felt were strengths of the product. Originally skeptical of the square size, I soon came to see it as a distinct improvement over previous RPG products. If there ever was a sacred cow of D&D, here it stands. Hands down, the square format is far more effective than what was used previously. It feels more natural, it lies flat far easier (An important quality for a reference book), it is far less inconvenient to carry around than RCR, and to be honest, it looks far nicer when laid closed on an end table (Although I'm not sure how often this aspect comes into play). I for one, hope to see more square books. Regarding the lack of specific campaign information regarding the KOTOR-era: I think the greatest strength of this core rulebook was that it succinctly follows a design goal - model what is seen in the films into a roleplaying system. While I too am a big fan of the Old Republic era, I'm not sorry to see it absent this book. At the end of the day, it simply is not part of the films. Furthermore, in my opinion, it represents a significantly different tone than what is seen in Episodes I-VI. [/QUOTE]
