[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 3567834, member: 12324"] The idea has great potential. Personally, I would try my best to make the race feel like Star Wars through and through, though, and not the "Amazing Race" with Star Wars dressing, if you see what I mean. For something to feel like "Star Wars", you need a few elements IMO, like travels on different worlds (I hate SW adventures taking place on a single world) -that's covered by the Galactic Race, a compelling villain, some shady/criminal elements (bounty hunting, smugglers, stuff like that), something of a legacy, the Force, some witty interactions in the PC group. Putting Tatooine in is always a plus, as far as I'm concerned. Also, what era would you choose? If the players can play actual Jedi Knights, what would be the Council's interest in the race? If you consider the Rise of the Empire era, what would compel them to assign Jedi PCs to it as racers? A threat to the Republic? How? A mole is within the race? Carrying some terrible secret to someone who would be waiting at one of the race's stops? Or maybe there are hints of an assassination attempt against the Supreme Chancelor (by Separatists?)? And what if this attempt is masterminded by the Chancellor himself? Well. Just throwing ideas into the pot I guess! :) [/QUOTE]
