D&D 5E (2024) D&D Universes Beyond - what should they do?

[Corinnguard]

Agree, star wars would be a tough nut to crack, you could not do it the standard way eventually. Refluffing everything magic as the force doesn't cut it in this case.

The only beings that practiced 'magic' within the Star Wars universe were the Nightsisters of Dathomir.

As for the Jedi and the Sith, they were some kind of Kineticist/Monk who specialized heavily with the Kinetic Blade infusion.

Refluff a lot of spells as tech doodads. Lots of reakins...Ranger is called a "Bounty Hunter" and "Hunters Mark" becomes a targeting computer in the helmet, etc.

There is still a very finite limit on using the Force or tech to refluff magic. Nothing in the Star Wars universe allows for teleportation, summoning, necromancy, etc. I don't see how you refluff a wizard as either a tech savant or a Force mystic without heavily nerfing the spell list to oblivion.

At least the Nightsisters have dabbled in some necromancy, so there is some precedent.

Summoning and teleportation could just be very rare (not canonized yet).

Luke's astral projection at the end of The Last Jedi certainly feels teleportation-adjacent.

(Fun fact: With teleportation, everything is adjacent!)

They literally teleported in The Acolyte, turning into a smoke and transporting.

Wait, did they? Poop, did I forget about that?

Time for a rewatch then!

The Nightsister? Dathomir witch? Not the Jedi. It's still a force power, though. And Google thinks a Nightsister did in The Clone Wars cartoon as well.

Ok hear me out, theres is something with a mouse, and tree lawful good young ducks with a chaotic stupid uncle and a neutral evil granduncle who is like superrich and also a cat named Carlo, and ?dogs? in enumerated red shirts both being bbegs... i think it is owned by disney.

I love the idea of core Disney UB - Mickey, HD&L, Donald, Unca, Pluto, Goofy, et al. The funny animal set basically (and whatever Goofy is).

In that same vein, would love a TaleSpin book; or even a chapter therein.

Also, now you've got me going (uh oh...) Toy Story and ALL the Pixar Movies!!! Roger Rabbit! Despicable Me!
