    what classifies as a heavy blaster pistol?

    Sometimes the description will help you out with this: The DE-10 and DC-17 from Collapse are both heavy.

    Most pistols that do 7+ damage are explicitly heavy blaster pistols.

    These three don't: DR-45 Dragoon, H-7 Equalizer and Nova Viper. Definitely houserule them as heavy blaster pistols if you're going to use the ammo depletion rule. They're just too good otherwise.

    Is there someplace online where I can find a clear description of rebel and imperial rank structure? For both officers and enlisted personnel. I ask because the chart on AOR 393 doesn't make sense ( a chief petty officer; but no petty officer, a master sergeant; but no sergeant ) and it contradicts the online stuff I found, which also contradict one another. Maybe Lucas just improvised in his early movies; but I figure someone must have formalized them in the meantime. Any clarity here would be welcome.

    I just read about these in Joaopaulon's thread. This tech has amazing plot potential ! I'm surprised it doesn't get used more. If it's economical to implant a clone army, why not implant any entire species with these chips? Why not give one to Leia instead of torturing her? It's not like The Empire has moral qualms about anything. Does FFG provide any rules for this tech?

    1. Is this any good?

    2. How do people advise using it?

    It seems having a second chance when I miss should be awesome - but I can't make another strike. I can Guard or Calming Breath, I suppose. Kata like Flowing Water Strike and Crimson Leaves Strike and Heartpiercing Strike are technically not strikes, so maybe those could be my second action. Might be better off investing in success on my first try.

    Changing stance should also be good; but wouldn't it be easier to simply act in my favored stance? Very curious how this is meant to be used.

    About the blond Cranes in the artwork:

    1. Are they bleached or natural?

    2. Does it any cultural significance, like high fashion or bravery or something?

    3. Is this uniquely a Crane custom, or does every have a few blond samurai?

    4. Can peasants go blond, or is that presumptuous?

    Both Jedi Knight Luke and the innocent Child use Force Choke on screen.

    The Gamorreans? I've heard it debated they were pushed/mind-tricked. And maybe babies aren't responsible for their actions? There's non-force-using grey characters, obviously. And there's Jedi on the path toward evil. But I can't see The Force as grey.   Not when the Jedi themselves are so emphatic on this point. Maybe they're unreliable?

    It seems to me, this is more than just semantics. The dark side is a reskinned DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. There is no grey here. Summoning a demon - even just once - is a stain on your soul. You are flipping off God and all that is holy. These bargains are inherently evil, because Satan is made of pure evil. You can't worship Satan 'just a little bit.' It always turns out bad. Ever watch The Black Rider? He accidentally kills his own girlfriend. Just like Darth Vadar.

    High soak d/n protect from critical hits, special weapon effects or environmental mayhem. A shootout in a bazaar or a cantina or an automated robot factory can be exciting and colorful even if you won't do much actual damage. Consider the final scene of The Mandalorian s01e03, for example.
