[QUOTE="Remus Lupin, post: 6160511, member: 12760"] Yes, and the whole point of this thread is the FFG decided to make a Star Wars game that only catered to one of our sets of preference about what is iconically Star Wars, and in that regard they made a game that, from my perspective, fails on an important front. I can't help but notice that throughout this entire thread there has been a lot of scorn and mockery heaped upon people who might want to/like to/have the option to play a jedi. I've seen no such similar scorn (I mean, absent my immediately preceding fit of snark) heaped upon those who don't want to play Jedi. I get it, you don't want Jedi. Fortunately, this game caters to you. For those of us who [I]do[/I] want to play Jedi, who want to play in the Star Wars universe, and would like to play the current system, FFG has dropped the ball. I fail to see why this opinion should meet with quite the level of negative reaction that it had, particularly repeated invocations of "Driittz with Purple Lightsaber," regardless of how any one did or could have played Jedi in the past. If your only understanding of how the Jedi can be played is as a superhero who blows the rest of the party away, then I think you've had an impoverished experience of what Jedi can be like if played well in a SW campaign.
