Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 8832093" data-attributes="member: 4937">It's pretty much like a Star Wars WEG D6 RPG brought to life.  We've taken our eyes off of the main heroes of the galaxy, and we've moved off to the supporting cast - lesser heroes fighting smaller battles that make what the main characters do possible.  And of course the story here is that the heroic is just as heroic if not more heroic than the superheroic.  The small figures making the big sacrifices aren't less heroes than the Chosen One or the powerful Space Wizards with the ability to will the universe to obey them.   And it's doing this for a lot of important reasons, but one of which I would say is that the Galaxy had become really small.  If the entire range of Star Wars was merely the immediate family of the Chosen One and the few characters that had interacted with them, then only very small stories could be told in the Star Wars universe and all the important ones had already been told.  And for that reason it also feels like some of the best of the Star Wars EU, where people were trying to tell stories about something other than the Skywalkers.  Oh, but they do.  Because just because we've been focusing on the smaller heroes doing their thankless jobs outside of the limelight of the Chosen One, doesn't mean that those larger than life characters aren't out there.  It's just that thankfully, we've been looking in on the countless trillions of people in the Galaxy that aren't those figures and suggesting that maybe they mean just as much.</blockquote>
