Example:A battle through energy pilons that explode if struck by blaster fire or a light saber, and timed to give the murder machine Sith Lorrd and PC's a round to get away while energy arcs from the damaged pilon. The pilons will block line of sight, and limit mobility, thus allowing the Sith Lord to fight only part of the party at a time. If he gets desperate and looks to be going down he might then swipe his light saber is a wide arc and set off a number of the darn things. The PC's can stay to finish him off and go up with him, or they can run for thier lives before the pilons go off, his mocking laughter following them out. His light saber comes tumbling out of the explosion to land at a PC's feet, but no body is found afterwards. You're free to bring him back ala Darth Vader style later, or leave him as dead as you want him to be. By using the environment to limit the PC's actions and providing a level of challenge of its own you'll make the fight more cinematic, and let the villian last/be scarier longer before his ultimate loss to the heroes. Plus if this sith lord isn't stark raving mad he'll want choose to fight a larger group in an area the favors him. As well as it is far more star wars to have a cool location.-Ashrum</blockquote>
