[QUOTE="bone_naga, post: 6627700, member: 85939"] Rules for force-users were in edge of the Empire and Age of Rebellion. You won't be a Jedi Academy graduate with those rules, though, more like pre-Dagobah Luke. A full-blown Jedi Knight doesn't really fit in a campaign of rogues at the fringes of Imperial control or in the Rebel Alliance. For some of us, that works just fine. Also, I take "core rules" to mean all the rules needed to play the game, not every class/profession that will ever be included, so I think I misunderstood. That may just be because I'm normally a D&D player and I'm used to additional classes being released in later books. So long as I can run a full campaign off the core books, I'm good with it. Of course, D&D also makes you buy 3 core books just to have the information you need to run a campaign. Now for people that just want all the classes together so they can mix and match as they please, yeah I can see that being a little frustrating. The books aren't cheap and the core rules remain the same, so you are basically paying for some of the same material 3 times over if you want all three core books. FFG should consider consolidating them into a single book in the future. My guess is that if it happens, it won't be until after sales start to drop, unfortunately. Yes and no. Obviously you can take the rules and apply them to whatever setting you want. A smuggler during the Galactic Empire could just as easily be a smuggler during the Galactic Alliance. But like I said above, there is obviously an intended setting for each book and you are correct that it is during the original trilogy. AoR and EotE both take place between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. It doesn't even include EU material by default (there's a short section basically saying it's up to the GM whether or not to include it, but that's about it). I haven't really looked too much at the third book. I would assume they take place either before or after the original trilogy, during a time when Jedi were common enough that having Jedi characters running around doesn't break canon (assuming you're concerned with that).
