[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 3609195, member: 14159"] Legacy? Not for me. Doesn't feel enough like Star Wars, if it wasn't officially published and somebody told me the idea, I'd swear it was mediocre fanfic, although I thought the same thing about New Jedi Order, and The Crystal Star (the Sith return a century after New Jedi Order and conquer the Galaxy, throwing out the Rule of Two and having a lot of Darths running around creating an order of Grey Jedi who look like a cross between Royal Guard and Jedi Knights who serve them but aren't automatically darksiders, and an antihero pirate/bounty hunter Skywalker who is the only surviving descendant of Anakin Skywalker is one of the few Jedi remaining ect. . .) For me, Star Wars is the Rebellion Era, or maybe the early New Republic Era. The Rebellion Era is when the heroes are underdogs, the Empire is mighty, and you can have adventures that tie directly into the events of the movies (something a lot of gamers I know like, like stealing a Lambda shuttle so Rebel SpecOps can use it to go to Endor). The New Republic era has a lot of the strengths of the Rebellion, such as the Empire is still the enemy, the heroes are still strugging for respectability and power, and cameos from characters the players know from the movies is still easy. However, it's a lot easier to work Jedi PC's in, especially after the Academy is opened. Outright victories against the Empire are a lot more plausible and in tone with the era. You could spend an entire campaign fighting warlords/moffs and defeating renegade Inquisitors/Emperor's Hands/Prophets of the Dark Side, saving entire star systems, liberating planets, and be big heroes, and it fit completely within the established canon and not even running across the characters of the movies once if you didn't want to. The Clone Wars is a nice "other" era, as it does have movies, and it's a time when lots of Jedi can be running around and you can have all the splendor of the Republic, but it doesn't have quite the gleam of the Rebellion to me. The New Jedi Order, no thank you. The Yuuzhan Vong always felt "wrong" and very un-Star Wars like, with being "outside" the force and using bizarre biotechnology, and going on decimating the galaxy by practically destroying Coruscant (and Ithor, and countless other worlds), casually killing Chewbacca like a redshirt just to make the "point" that this is a real serious enemy ect. The Old Republic/Tales of the Jedi/Knights of the Old Republic era could be good, but I don't know enough about the era to run a good game in it. I've got the old d6 sourcebook for the era, but I don't know enough about the KOTOR games to run a game in it comfortably. [/QUOTE]
