[QUOTE="Remus Lupin, post: 6160732, member: 12760"] I defy you to point to anything that I've said that suggests anything other than that people who do not want to play with Jedi in their game should not be required to do so, and that those who want the option to have Jedi [I]should[/I] have the option to do so. I'll say again: You've utterly misrepresented, to the point of lying, my position throughout every comment I've made on this thread. Nothing I've said can even be remotely construed to suggest, nor to "insinuate" what you've been imputing to me, so I ask you again to either deal with my arguments on the terms on which I'm making them or to make a different argument. It's ridiculous to say that I"m not being marketed to with this game: It's a Star Wars Role Playing Game. As a Star Wars Role Playing Gamer, I am the market for this product. The problem is that it's being marketed [I]poorly[/I] to me, though I will acknowledge that it seems to be being marketed well to you. That's fine, but if the question is asked (and I think this is really the point of the original post) "what do you want in your Star Wars Role Playing experience, then I'm going to answer, among other things, "Jedi." Now, it may be the Edge of the Empire accomplishes what I want in a sufficient way, but as its been described so far, I am dubious. And once more, it's not because I'm interested in power gaming, it's because I'm interested in playing particular kind of mystique and a particular character concept. If the only thing we had to go on to describe the events surrounding Episode IV were episode IV itself, then maybe you'd have a case, but there's a lot of material from the expanded universe, which has been canon in every Star Wars Role Playing Game up to this point, which gives material to allow for the presence of Jedi other than Obi Wan and Yoda. I'll say this again so that it's CRYSTAL CLEAR: If you don't like that and don't want it in your game, I fully support you not having it. I want that option to be there. This is my case in sum, and I still don't see you offering a shred of good reason as to why it's invalid for me to want that. [/QUOTE]
