[QUOTE="Agatheron, post: 6154036, member: 6694086"] Specifically they are not ignoring the Expanded Universe. Page 295 has a little sidebar in terms of using the EU (or not). Many of the starships presented in the book are clearly EU (the YT-2400, for example). They make reference to the vast resources that the EU presents, and they acknowledge that there is lots more material than they can cover in this book. As for the Jedi, this was a choice they made that their treatment of the Jedi/Sith will receive the 440+ book treatment in the third major installment of the game (Force and Destiny). They don't leave you hanging completely, as the Force Sensitive Specialization represents how to have a Jedi-type character in a time where Jedi have been essentially exterminated. It is possible to start building a character that will eventually become a full-fledged Jedi as the newer books come out. They've even included a sample "Forsaken Jedi" as a potential advesary/ally who has low-end to moderate force powers. As for Edge of the Empire, there's nothing saying you couldn't extrapolate what's in the book to something you might see in KoTOR or in the prequels. Criminal elements and people living on the fringe are indeed ubiquitous, and that can fit in any era. The map of the galaxy that they provide, including various notable locations presume a post-Yavin, pre-Hoth galaxy, but they do include details of what that world/environment was like prior to the rise of the Empire. There's certainly enough in the book to play in any of the eras in a criminal/underworld/fringe theme. Although it is true that we will need to wait until 2015 until the Jedi/Sith get an entire book dedicated to them. What I am experiencing in this book is the first step in what is going to be a hugely in-depth and great narrative-style roleplaying game. No game is complete at first release, and it's completely unrealistic for us to expect that. [/QUOTE]
