Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

[Reynard]

One has to assume Han bought, traded, and otherwise obtained all the parts for his upgrades on the Falcon.

And, of course, movies aren't games and vice versa. For some folks, there is a fun minigame in gear, ship upgrades and similar resource management and expenditure.

And Luke clearly wants to go shopping at Toche station for some power converters.....

He can goof off with his friends when his chores are done!

Not in the OT.

I know that's what the poster was referring, but I'm sure why we're limiting things. The OT is not all of Star Wars.

Also, people buy and sell things, and economies exist, even in a galaxy far far away. So the verisimilitude/setting logic argument is alive and well.

Yeah, there you are, But not every game needs to have this as a thing that people are going to go and do.

True, but every game I play does or I will sorely miss it.

it occurs to me that I don't know why Tatooine, or at least Mos Eisly, is considered a haven for smugglers and other criminals. Is it just because the planet is off the Empire's usual patrol routes? Why is Jabba there? Why is Han Solo hanging around?

Depends upon which continuity... but generally in both WEG/WotC and Disney/FFG/Edge:
Tatooine was taken over by the Hutts, sometime a few decades prior to Ep I. the Hutts were "nominally" part of the Republic... in the same way as the Corporate Sector: For all practical purposes, an independent stellar nation paying lipservice to the Republic and knowing that it (the republic) cannot afford to enforce its will. It doesn't hurt that Huttspace is within a huge nebula restricting inward/outward travel...

Note that the Outer Rim was NOT part of the Republic during the prequel era, hence Republic Dataries not being acceptable tender on tatooine in Ep I.

Note that in Disney Canon, it gets overrun by multiple other organized crime groups after the fall of the empire, and was during the empire taken due to Vader's connection to it, and it's adjacency to Geonosis (one of three worlds in STL flight range of Tatooine) (see Book of Boba Fett)...

Sorry, didn't realize it was OT only. Would Han getting a pallet full of money from the Alliance be considered a financial transaction?

Yep. Make that 3 transactions in Ep IV.

Are you counting the selling if Luke's Land Speeder in Mos Eisley?

Only for a low low price of 2000 credits! I guess he didn't have much time to bargain.
