It is my opinion that the films contradict sources such as Incredible Cross Sections, Essenstial Guide, and the RCR.When role-playing in an established universe, be it Star Wars, Star Trek, Beverly Hills 90210 or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it is my feeling that you must adopt a high level of 'Suspension of Disbelief' Characters and Game-masters will inevitably explore ascpect of the game universe thet were never explored in film. Game designers will want to do the same. When building atop canon material, which has a fairly strict Lucasfilm defined hierarchy in the case of SW, you want to be as close and as accurate to that source material as possible, thusly, I like to pretend that:Thus if you were to design a Buffy the Vampire Slayer 'Guide to Europe' you would want to pay strict attention to the events, locations, and 'feel' that they gave Europe in the series. When designing new vehicles for Star Wars, you woudl look to the ones shown in the films.Of course, even with all the analysis hoops I can make myself jump through, we are just pissing in the wind. We are discussing a schlocky scape opera, Saturday mantinee, teen romance. We cannot take out a stopwatch and clock the top speed of an X-Wing. George Lucas could film an Episode VIII in which all the main character dance the can-can... But I've already conceeded that my arguments will not be able to convince everyone, and have attempted to steer this conversation into discussing the other pros and cons of a B1 Battle Droid PC, assuming that by whatever reason it is given autonomy.</blockquote>
