[QUOTE="Warren Okuma, post: 3605773, member: 48436"] Absolutely. His example is Aragorn, Conan, and Boba Fetts... fine. Here's your opening scene. Aragorn, your boat was engulfed by sandstorm cast by Sauron as he climbed out of hell. You don't know how, but he's back. When the sandstorm died down you found out that he exiled you to Tattoine. You are looking for a way back. You need companions. You go to a inn. Conan, Thoth-Amun hurled you into another dimension. They call this dimension Tattoine. Who knows what evil he is doing back home? Hey, a tavern. You're there. Boba Fett, you have just crawled out of the Sarnoc. You need to shoot that scumbag who hired you. He's in that bar. You enter the bar. Three squads of Imperial Storm Troopers and three spy drones comes in. "Boba Fett, for your failure, the Emperor has ordered your immediate execution." Conan, A Storm Trooper flips your table for cover. Your mug of beer and food hits the floor. The Storm Trooper laughs and says "What? Go lick it up Bantha Drek." And tries to back hand you. (You can block it, you are Conan after all) Aragorn, Another Storm Trooper points at you (point at that player) and say "What are you looking at?" They will use the spy drones to ID the perps and when the squad is half down, they will call for AT-ATs when half down which will show up just as the PC's are leaving. Some storm troopers with one squad assault blaster waiting at Boba Fett's bay (no starship), they laugh and said they scrapped it for parts. So Boba Gotta steal a starship and leave. Preferably with the others. Let Boba know that the Elf can sense Darth and use his herbs to kind of mask where you are, and give hints that Ol' Darth can kick your ass unless you have help. In a cinematic game everyone speaks English... Storm trooper armor is basically crap. It doesn't stop much, it's mainly a space suit that you can barely see out of in a cinematic game. Was it ever effective in the movies? Not so much, and it sucks just as bad. So, why run something you know your players think, suck when you can run something that they might think is awesome?
