Star Wars: Rebels

[Star Wars: Rebels]

Why are so many folks anti-Jedi?

 

Please understand that what was presented to us in A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi was not a true accounting of the entire universe.  There were thousands of force sensitives that escaped the Purge of Order 66.  The order was 100% explicit on killing all the "Generals" of the Clone Wars and anyone at the Jedi Temple and Academy.  Beyond that, the universe is filled with those in-tuned with the Force.  

 

I am also positive that a few Jedi Masters and Jedi Knights were on assignment elsewhere in the galaxy and did not have a regiment of Clone Troopers to command.  There were Jedi who were actually anti-Clone who would not even allow Clones in their ranks. Jedi like Rahm Kota who distrusted Clone that Palpatine provided and refused to have any serve under him.  His ranks were 100% natural born.  As such he survived Order 66.

 

With all these survivors, why is it so unconscionable to have Jedi be the focus of anything Star Wars?  The Jedi have been the protectors of the Republic and the Galaxy for many a millennium.  The style and flavor of Edge of the Empire just woud not cut the mustard on TV.  I love GMing it but it doesn't make for good TV.

[Why so many repeat races]

Well, honestly...my all Gungan Jedi Campaign is a Death Stick Pipe dream.  I was totally tongue in cheek...

 

But seriously.  If all the races can be used in any of the three games...and I doubt ANYONE is going to ski buying a core book saying well the Age of Rebellion just isn't for me; why not have a boat load of playable species/races?

 

Sure, humans are all over the galaxy but once you spec them out, why the redux??  Don't get me wrong, the Corellian Human was a nice touch.  Why not include a different human each time.  A Llordian, Kuati, etc...that would be tres cool.

[Why so many repeat races]

Okay. So there have been three core books and several supplements to introduce more races to the FFG Star Wars Universe.  So why so many duplicates?  I am tired of seeing Humans and Twi'lek in every book.  Where are my Gungans!!
