AOTC makes me want to play all-Jedi campaign [spoilers]

[JPL]

The only problem with an all Jedi campaign would be that the PC's would be under the control of the Jedi Counsel or Jedi Master, unless they were Dark Side. The only control they would have is how they solved there missions and only if they solved it based on the Jedi code.

If your PC's like making alot of choices then this would be bad.

If you PC's have trouble taking adventure hooks and would be up for the strict play that an all Jedi campaign would provide then it would be great. No need to worry about adventure hooks.

Quite right. I figure you could also do the old "Gunsmoke" campaign --- put our heroes in the boonies as the local Jedi, cut off from the vast resources of the Counsel and following a general order to keep the peace.

It also depends on when you are running the Jedi Campaign. If its during the Tales of the Jedi era they seemed to have a lot more freedom on what they did. During the Rise of the Empire era they were more restricted by the council. During the New Republic/New Jedi Order era Jedi are free to do pretty much what they want.

Doing what you want and doing whats best are different things. There is always Light Side and Drak Side to think about.

Watching episode 2 made me invest in Spycraft and put in an order for the Judge Dredd rpg. I seriously can't believe that Lucas released that as a movie, and I have no desire to put a single dollar into the SW rpg. Why did Lucas start pandering to children and lame jokes and stop being space opera? At least with Dredd you know there are cheesy jokes and sarcasm and irony and ridiculous situations, that is what makes it fun.

Add really good eye-candy and I think that pretty much sums up Star Wars as well.

I finally got a chance to look at the RCR over the weekend. Oh yes, I will have a copy of this game. I will make use of it as well, once I take some time to do a bit of world-building and draft the campaign bible. I think that the last Sith War--the one that resulted in Darth Bane instituting the Rule of Two--would make for a fine backdrop for a campaign.

Which is the beauty of a Star Wars RPG campaign --- you can be Lucas, and do things how you like. No Gungans, no Ewoks, whatever.

If a bad movie is enough to put you off an RPG, then I suggest you avoid the motion picture "Judge Dredd." You wanna talk about betraying the original vision...

Nah, those last two Star Wars movie spoiled it all for me. At least although a bit miscast, the 1st JD movie wasn't that horrific and I am confident the next two will be better. Besides, Judge Dredd has always been much more comic driven than anything else. The nature of the JD world to me lends itself much better to role-playing anyway, the letdown of this latest Lucs offering just cemented my decision.

That's akin to hating McDonald's because they don't use ostrich meat for their burgers.

Not that bad

I actually really enjoyed the new Star Wars movie and the revised RPG is frickin awesome. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and my group is drooling over it and Dragonstar like nothing else. We all went to the movie and enjoyed it for what it is and not what we thought it should be and that is how a movie should be viewed, not whether George ruined our vision of the movie, That is like getting mad because LOTR didn't have that inane Tom Bombadil.
