(In this scenario SW isn't like a part of pop culture owned by Disney mega corp I guess, so lets say in 1980)DM having seen all the movies knows that luke is vader's son, 2 players have never seen the movies but have heard about laser swords and psychic knights, 1 player has seen only return of the jedi, and 1 player has only seen the first one (now retconed to be named a new hope)the player that has only seen the first one says "I have an idea, I want to play an alien jedi who was the son of Vader back when he was apprentice to obiwan, I will be Teial Vader. I have the same type of environmental suit since I come from the same planet but not black mine is red and grey... and even though I am his son I hate him."the player that has only seen return of the jedi is like "I want to play an ewak"the 2 players that never saw any of it are like "Those sound cool but I want to be ______"the DM knowing that luke is vader's son and that under that helmet is a humanif that game was run in 1978 before empire only the ewok wouldn't work.</blockquote>
