In fact, the <a href="https://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/downloads/UA-PsychicSoulPsionics.pdf" target="_blank">Psychic Warrior</a> Fighter Class UA by Wizards of the coast was made with  Jeremy Crawford saying "<a href="https://youtu.be/MQiUzt3HfVM?t=57" target="_blank">More Darth Vader</a>". That link to it in his own words.Wanting to play a Kensai Monk/Wizard mutli-class with a magic flaming sword, mage hand, jump spell, ,telekinesis spell, haste spell, and who can stop and redirect projectiles back at attackers (monk Deflect Missiles) as targets stylized after a Jedi like order is a more realistic response. Just as I have seen players want to come to the table with an Artillerist Artificer with an urban bounty hunter back ground basically playing a character based of the Mandalorian series. We allowed it. The player was not called a Mandalorian and the GM used Criticial Role's "Slayer's Take" as template for them to take their back ground front and center. A monk with magic could easily be played as a sect of mystics BASED of the Jedi but still well with in the fantiacy world of D&D. In part because STARWARS is actually fantasy in a science fiction setting not true science fiction. Gorge Lucas has said so many times. It is not abnormaly for players to want to play a character created form any number of other non-D&D fantacy sources. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, STAR WARS, the Wheel of time series, The Shannara Chronicles, Game of thrones, He-man, or even Power rangers with there dino mounts and improved Pact of the Blade Weapons. I don't know a single GM that never steels from sources out side of D&D.I read your posts and actually think @<a href="https://www.enworld.org/goto/post?id=7921089" target="_blank">PsyzhranV2</a>'s reply makes since. Players can deviate from the normal style of a D&D character without pulling form another universe. So you example does seem like a jaded extreme response that does not reflect the topic of playing "Your Class is Not Your Character" style. You have moved beyond that to "I am playing a different game at your table and you have no choice" that is huge leap from the argument from the argument your trying to contrast. I don't see player "bulling GM's" this way. Arguing for a style of character based on something else, though is both common and expected.</blockquote>
