This is a huge discussion we had in a different rule system (2nd ed. AD&D). In Shadowrun something similar came up. One player wanted realism and deadliness, another was afraid his character might ...

Deep down players want their characters to get hurt. Smile

I guess one thing I put more and more emphasis on over the years, were story-based complications. The Jedi can cut themselves through scores of battle droids, but when the real villain behind it used ...

However, doesn't Obi-Wan call Qui-Gonn's lightsaber (which is out of his line-of-sight) before he leaps out of the pit in TPM?

I always explained it to myself with Obiwan being able to sense the f ...

I think one of the first things I did, was differentiate the Storm Troopers into novice, experienced and experts. In my world the Storm Troopers have a very flat hierarchy, so you can't really know wh ...

I do have GG6, I'm not sure about the other one though. The name sounds familiar.

...even legit ones.

Lech...legg...leggi...WHAT?! Is that something from the Legacy-era? Laughing

Awesome! That's exactly what I'd been looking for. I used to ignore this in favour of game-play, too, as long as the players were rebels on the run. I deducted some credits every now and then for port ...

Sorry, if that question has been asked already, but I was unable to find any official takes on this. I always made up my own rates, but I wonder, if anything has ever been written about this by WEG.

I really like these thoughts, but I stopped approaching Star Wars with such concepts as logic and physics and since ANH clearly shows a rather short trip from Rim to Core, so there had to be some kind ...

My explanation was always based on Hyperspace routes. The Corellian Run, the Perlemian Trade route and other big corridors are like big, 6-dimensional rivers, on which even the earliest settlers trave ...

That game is easily the most stupid Star Wars franchise EVER!

I had started to do a new chart, but it turned out to be too time consuming, so I went for guesstimating according to the galactic map we use.

It's been stated, that the Rebellion used any material at hand to get fighters and bombers together. The Y-Wing we see in the Original Trilogy is probably the stripped-down version of the Clone Wars f ...

Pulling down a capital ship is something I could imagine to be a legend about some ancient Sith Lord like Marka Ragnos, whose knowledge is lost today. It makes a great hook to find his grave and might ...

Oh dear, I just read the plot of "the Force Unleashed". More bizarre retconning at the cost of continuity, feel and realism. Oh well. Is that supposed to be canon?!
