The more I talk about this, the more I realize that I'll never be the one to run it. I'm no expert on Star Wars canon, and I'd probably end up getting corrected every turn.
You could always make up some sort of alternate universe to Star Wars. Nobody's saying you can't do that, and that would allow you to mold the universe better and make it easier to explain how players did unbelievable stuff.
That would make for an interisting intro:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ...

No not that one, bit more to the left. Yes that galaxy

I don't want to be rude, but the restaurant is at the Other end of the Galaxy.

Wrong kind of end. Just one of the reasons that movie was horrible.

Also, that would lead us straight into a black hole.

I read the books first. Shame I couldn't find the radio series though.

Hitchhiker's Guide RtD



So! Would anyone be willing to run that Star Wars RtD? Even if I were confident in my canon-fu, I've got other RtD-related obligations. And I'd really like to see it come to something.

Which one? We've got like seven different ideas up here.

Anyway, I'd be confident enough in both my knowledge of canon and my ability to not care about getting it wrong/making it up on the spot, but I most definitely have other obligations.

I don't really care which of the story ideas whoever takes it goes with. As for the gameplay, I think we've pretty much narrowed it down to these:
  • No Jedi
  • All Jedi
  • Break Jedi class up into skill system, integrate with non-force-related skills
Obviously I'd go with the last one, but the others are viable too. I'd even be willing to help write the system, I just don't have the time to run it. But it must be done.

I'd go with force sensitive non-jedi. Light sabres optional, but using them oughta be illegal.

I've got the five book omnibus with me and a nutrient soaked hand rag emblazoned with the number 42.

Oh man, a Hitchhikers Guide RTD would be excellent. Were I not otherwise spoken for, I'd run it. RTD Subforum needs New GMs, badly!

RE: Star Wars- Force Sensitive Clone Troopers would be my preferred option, yes.
