[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9130503, member: 6684958"] The theme of Star Wars is Goofy, Silly, Cartoonish, Safe, Kid Friendly Action Adventure. Much like the sci fi and adventure serials of the past. The Empire are ''bad guys" and the Rebels are "good guys" because we are told so. There is lots of Goofy "bad military" Empire that can't hit anything vs the demi god Rebel heroes. And for a movie with "everyone" appeal....it works! For an RPG though........you get stuck with "generic kitchen sink sci-fi" and "space clerics". And it just does not work. In an RPG a couple Stromtroopers really can shoot and hit a character....but that would "never happen" in Star Wars. So, as soon as it does, it does not feel like Star Wars. You can have some characters flying around in a Menlieneal Falcon "smuggling" some "power crystals" in space.....but it just feels like generic sci fi, not Star Wars. [/QUOTE]
