Are you guys still playing 4th? Are you making the change to Next? My groups isn't really interested in Next and sees it as a step backwards for gaming (we really love the tactical complexity of 4th ed. though). Anyway, this is my first foray into SW as well.

All of the actors are way too old to pull off Dark Empire. It could probably work if they retool it to feature the Solo twins.

Dark Empire has one of my favorite comic panels of all time. I'd love to see this in live action. I'd jizz my nerd pantaloons.

BIggest problem I run into is that resources are typically not great... you have to get really creative to get around the lack of cool/interesting monsters that are actually a challenge. Force users can really break the crap out of the game. My game was a Legacy-era campaign. Epic/destiny/etc. I had a great time with it. Especially trolling the hell out of them by continually popping Bantha Rawk into the picture and having him drop the classic "it's a hard galaxy" line.

It will be interesting to see how they incorporate Palpatine, if he is indeed brought in.
Options I can think of: 1) Ghost/Force presence/Holocron/etc. 2) Clone (if they are rebooting the post OT continuity, I could see doing the Zahn trilogy with Palpatine instead of Joruus C'baoth) 3) Flashback (though who would be flashing back I can't think... maybe Mara Jade?)

Ooh, I like the force ghost palps idea....maybe he can corrupt some dark-leaning skywalker offspring from the great beyond.

Or Kyp Durron (whom I always felt was an underutilized character... NJO should have featured him even more)...

On the contrary, I really liked the Corran Horn character. Enough Force power to be a Jedi but he used his smarts as well. To me, that's far more interesting than some dude that can blow up a sun or a planet with his mind. |

From a macro level, Kyp Durron is an interesting, engaging character. Ties/relationship with Han Solo. Extremely powerful. Interesting - and dangerous - background. Good Jedi connections to interesting members of Luke's first class (Tanel Ka, Dorsk 81).

At one point, Zahn intimated that Luke never dealt with the cloned Emperor ("I don't know WHO that really was") which makes this report rather dubious. My favorite EU character is definitely Jorj Car'dass. He was like wiser Lando/Han that was very successful, wealthy and experienced. |
