I was thinking when Galaxy's Edge opened in California that FFG could produce a a game module based in Batuu to sell at the parks. I am thinking of something similar to Under a Black Sun with pregens and a abridged rule set.

Poor Durak has been retired (i lost his files). I have a concept for a new character. Human Scout/Archeologist/Force Adherent. Found a old Jedi training stick and some Jedi manuals during a dig.
Wants to live his live by the Jedi code even if he can not use the force.

4 hours ago, Donovan Morningfire said:197 million, including both domestic (115.6 million) and worldwide (82.3 million) currently. Which might be low when you look at the takes for Episodes 7 and 8 (which again had no serious competition at the time they were in theaters), but for a non-Star Wars movie that's a pretty **** good opening, and even the opening weekend of 148 million would be considered **** good for anything other than a Star Wars movie. Which to me is just more proof of the BS that the miserable grumps who can't seem to enjoy the fact we're getting new Star Wars movies pretty much every year now use to claim that Disney is somehow retroactively murdering their childhood faster than Anakin killing Tuskens (and the women... and the children!) in AotC.
Now of course, what's not helping the film's box office receipts is that it pretty much tanked in China (barely over 10 million), which is one of the largest revenue generators for films. But then, Star Wars in general has tanked in China, the franchise never really catching on the way other movie franchises (such as the MCU) have.
Plus, as you said Disney is making a literal killing off the merchandising (****, it was the merchandising off the first film that pretty much made Lucas wealthy in the first place), not only from this film but from Star Wars in general. So it might very well be that as far as the higher-ups in the corporate food chain are concerned, Solo as a film not recouping its full budget during it's initial theater run may well not be as big a deal for LFL/Disney as such a thing would be for a film that didn't have the sort of merchandising push that Solo does.
Of course, it'll be interesting to see how much of a dip Solo takes in terms of receipts, as there's not really any major "summer blockbusters" due to open this weekend. But the word of mouth for Solo from the casual fans is generally good, which may help the film out in the weeks to come as folks that were ambivalent about it may decide to go check it out based upon said word of mouth.
That won't stop the "I hate Disney!" crowd, but then probably nothing will other than the plug being pulled and there being zero new Star Wars material created ever. That way, the franchise can die and they get to carry on as the self-appointed gatekeepers of what is or isn't Star Wars, while the rest of the world simply moves on and comes to regard Star Wars as nothing more than novelty whose time had passed and collapsed under the weight of its own success.
I just saw a documentary on Netflix's about Kenner getting the rights to the Star Wars toys. The original agreement was Kenner got 95% and Lucas/Fox split the rest. I always thought that the merchandising made Lucas rich but not so much in the early days.

Every other Friday between 8-11. Oh wait that is what the question is. Current game is two years after the Battle of Jakku.

I do not roll for Obligation/Duty/Morality. I use it as part of the story. I also use it like Aspects from Fate or Distinctions from Cortex plus. If the players are rolling for something related to there Obligation/Duty/Morality I will let give the player a boost die or setback die.Since I do not use the numbers I give my players +10 xp and 2500 additional credits at character creation.

Durrak throws his discblade at Insanire. "Time for this to end !"
4 total Damage Pierce 4 . Uses the force point to retrieve his discblade. I will use the advantage for a boost die to whoever acts next.

I thought I would mix it up. OK I will throw the discbalde with saber throw at the blobs.
Total Damage is 4. Throws the discblade and hits the blobs. Uses the light side points to call the blade back to his hand.
PS I am out of town until Monday.

27 minutes ago, Sturn said:I'll start with an attempt at this one.
Why have bombs when you can shoot missiles from a distance?: More ammo can be carried. Each bomb doesn't require its own propulsion, so space is saved and thus you can carry many more bombs vs. missiles.
Bombs fall in 0G?: Since the bombs don't have their own propulsion, there has to be a method of launching them at a target. Those bomb racks have some sort of electromagnetic propulsion system that flings the bombs out of the bottom of the bomber and it only has a Close range.
The visual guide confirms this. Here is how the bombs are described.
"Bomb's don't technically drop in microgravity, but are impelled from their racks by sequenced electromagnetic plates in the clip. The bombs are then drawn magnetically to their targets."

I prefer a straight fight rather that all this trickery Durrak thought to himself. Let's see how this goes before settling this with my discblade he also thought.

Durrak throws his discblade (using saber throw)
Failure with one advantage and a dark side.
Durrak attacks the monster and it is a complete miss. Frustrated by his failure he uses the force to retrieve the disc blade (i will use the dark side point and suffer the strain and conflict).
He feels his anger as the weapon returns to his hand.

Once this would of horrified Durrak. Now it seem pretty normal. He looks for a skull.

For you ma'am, don't need our fearless leaderess getting scared do we?
He hands the device to Astrid.
Put it on the nap of your neck. It'll generate a field when elevated levels of fear response are generated. It'll help keep a calm and level head, and suppose may even help with dark side illusions... We'll see... eh?
He dips into his bag again.
Doctor... Doctor, I'm here to give you some news, in case you have a bad case of the scardy-whose, this might tamp it down a bit.
He jestures to the back of the neck.
Right their, just plop it on, anti fear field and all that jizz...
Durrak! Our single sentence samurai! Even are steadfast stalwart like yourself needs help now and again! Slap this on the nap of your neck and presto a little more control over your fear... We'll need it here.
He continues walking up the line of the group to Yorrik.
So how'd you like confidence to be less of a metaphor and more a reality? Intrigued? Well slap this onto your lil friend. This works a bit differently then the others. Its powered by your guns energy cells, and it'll give you a slight shock through the handle a calibrated energy wave that will decrease the fear response starting with your trigger finger!
Confidence now truly does inspire confidence!
Durrak replies " I only need one sentence. " and then goes to retrieve his discblade.
