[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 4862452, member: 18182"] I think you're mostly right, that Star Wars has gone a bit overboard. I'm certainly a bit burnt out. I like the Knights of the Old Republic era (I've only played the games and purchased the Saga rulebook), as it does let you tell a similar story, although not exactly the same, as the movies . . . but without all the baggage. I like the Legacy era (100 years after the movies), for pretty much the same reasons as I like KOTOR (I've been reading the graphic novels). I think that each of these eras are definitely Star Wars, but do provide a somewhat different dynamic than the originals. But all the crap that happens after the movies (and before Legacy) is too much. How many times does Luke and friends have to save the galaxy before they can just retire on some nice planet? And I too, hated the Vong. But, I only pay close attention to the two eras I mentioned above, and no longer obsessively collect novels, comics, and other EU materials. Saves me money and there is still good Star Wars stuff out there. [/QUOTE]
