[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 7818148, member: 6925177"] One more note, if you don't mind. The events of the [I]Star Wars[/I] original trilogy result in relatively minor changes to the setting. The pre-eminent power suffers a major defeat resulting in years of retreat, whilst a new rebel group (presumably) attempts to resurrect an older republican political body. This really doesn't equate to Zeitgeist where [I]every[/I] power suffers enormous defeats and changes, [I]and[/I] the world planar rules themselves change. For [I]Star Wars [/I]to be equivalent, Luke would have needed to take down the Hutts, the Hapans and the Chiss as well, not to mention rejigging the Force such that, say, everyone has telekinesis and everyone has a healing factor and faster than light travel is possible even without the use of a hyperdrive. If you aren't already aware, Paizo has recently published Pathfinder 2.0, and they have written a new setting-guide where they have made the events of their many APs canon. Those APs are relatively minor, compared to Zeitgeist- they invent their own discrete villains, and the goal of the AP tends to be to preserve the status-quo.
