[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4506137, member: 11821"] Odds are, that was the thread I started over there where I was looking for ideas. I got a lot of good feedback there, from [I]actual[/I] Star Wars nerds (I use the term affectionately, being many kinds of nerd myself). I've never been much for Star Wars until I started running it. Folks like The Universe were founts of great information. :) The What If? format has a ton of benefits going for it. I feel like we're really creating a new story, instead of finding cracks in the established canon and filling them in. Also, I'm able to completely re-use characters from the movies, and my players love running into them in unexpected ways. * Leia is a Sith lord, apprenticed to Darth Vader. They are in a covert war with the Emperor. * Luke is also a Sith lord, apprenticed to the Emperor. Additionally, taking a cue from the Zahn series, the Emperor has been using Luke clones as elite soldiers and infiltrators. The party has killed or captured 3 so far, and run from another. * Jabba was assassinated, as part of a plot by Vader. He was replaced by a force-sensitive Hutt from Nar Shadaa. * Taking a cue from KotOR, GOTO is (still?) around. He's also active on Nar Shadaa and throughout the galaxy. He's been a relatively minor player, but has a big bounty out on some of the PCs. * The party infiltrated the mostly-empty Star Destroyer Devastator, and rescued an old and deactivated R2 unit, thought to contain plans to the Death Star. The Republic is investigating this very thoroughly. * One of the aforementioned Luke clones infiltrated one of the three Republic fleets, and hijacked the computer they were using for randomized Hyperspace jumps. They jumped straight into a massive ambush, caught in Interdictor fields, and killed. Yeah, there's a lot going on, and my players have been in the middle of most of it. It's been a very good game so far. -O [/QUOTE]
