I get that that makes a hypocrite in some way but like, I'd happily play in a very canon-heavy Star Wars game, even though I know from experience that it stresses me out to run one.Running wise, I know because I ran one for a while in 2004-5. I did accidentally like, pre-create master-era Ahsoka Tano as a major NPC (i.e. same basic personality, gender, race, dual-wielding Jedi, lot of trauma from surviving after Order 66 - albeit not trained by Anakin but rather a made-up Obi-Wan analog) and replicate the approximate plot of Rebels, with my Ahsoka-equivalent in the Kanan role - which still weirds me out a little, but I suppose it's all obvious ideas.I did manage to run a canon-light SW game for a couple of years a few years back, but having learned from the earlier one, I intentionally set it in a total backwater system where neither Imperial nor Republic norms held true.One nice thing about WFRP is that Warhammer Fantasy's canon is both vague and frequently self-contradictory over the various editions of the wargame (sometimes even within the same edition). So if a player actually knew it well they'd know that, and thus probably wouldn't try to contradict you nor be bothered by it. Hell they ran the Endtimes twice with different results, even!</blockquote>
