[So, we really aren't doing it? Really?]

I haven't paid too much attention to the JJ movie once they slapped fans in the face and said that all canon information post Endor wasn't cannon anymore. Screw you, its cannon, your movie is false unless its better than the Thrawn trilogy. Has anyone noticed any female redhead actresses(or who could easily dye their hair) roughly late 40s who could play the role of Mara Jade? Someone in the JJ camp did step back from the anti-canon statement and said they will be using bits and pieces.

 

I wonder if they will get Jeremy Bulloch to continue to play the role of Boba in that movie? I can just see him now going off on one of his rants like he did for the prequals, "Im not a bloody clone dammit!"

That species list that was posted was awesome. Exactly the kind of resources I was looking for and very well done. Still missing a few of what I consider the primary races like the Sullustans and Duros although I would assume the Sullustans will be in the next book since they are big Rebellion supporters.

 

I like the criminal aspects of things but definitely prefer the Imperial side of things more, cool armor, cool ships, always getting hunted by a superior force, giant space battles. Oddly enough, old Republic and Clone War stuff has no attraction to me whatsoever. I prefer the Imperial/Post-Imperial timeline, especially the period following Endor when the Empire was in a hard fought decline to hold onto the status quo until the Grand Admiral makes an appearance.

 

The Rim is where the Rebellion has much of their resources and its surprising there isn't more mention of Imperial forces rooting them out. Perhaps not big hunts and such but all of this is Imperial Space. Has there been any mention of the Hapes Cluster, Corporate Sector or the Unknown Regions?

I looked briefly in the thread dedicated to this and didn't see what I was looking for. I am a vet of the old d6 system and am having a hard time figuring this new game out and material for it. Being used to the very expansive and very customizable Star Wars game of old and only having had a brief time to read the book itself I have a few questions.

 

-The old system had no classes although it had tons of helpful templates to work from to give direction on character creation. Are the "classes" in the book templates in the sense they are a direction to work from if you do not make your own character?

 

-Where are all the Imperial and Rebel ships? I flipped through quickly to see what resources were available and didn't see the basic ships like the Star Destroyers or Calimari Cruisers or even some of the smaller military vessels that PCs would encounter normally(I did see a TIE Fighter and Xwing pic).

 

-Where are all the races at? I looked briefly at the products page and didn't see any books with bonus information like all the other races in the galaxy. Is there not such a beast out there? If not has anyone gone and done an online write up for the many races that for some reason got skipped?

 

Hopefully tonight I will get a better chance to read the book, but on first glance I was really disappointed in the lack of info so far given(the force for example, yes I know there are very few masters left, but that's kind of an important part of the background). What are these deck things that are all over the products page?
