>>97407127>Have you done any homages anything in your games?my setting/game isn't Star Wars, but it's in a science fantasy world with Espers, who are psionic monks based on the jedi
There is only one way to save Star Wars: KILL DAVE FILONI AND DECANONIZE EVERYTHING HE WAS EVER INVOLVED IN
>>97407264Nah man, we need Dave Seloni. Without Dave Seloni we're fucked.
>>97407264>the year is 2031>after Timothy Zahn killed Dave Filoni and took over Lucasfilm by force (with Disney's permission) five years prior, he has decanonized everything except for the OT, PT, Andor and Rogue One>he is now adapting the Thrawn trilogy to film to replace the ST
>>97407387While the Thrawn trilogy is way better than anything we have gotten, it needs to be said that Luke's storyline fucking sucked
>>97407387>AndorDull as fuck>Rogue OneDoesn't even make sense with ANH and the EU did the Death Star plotline way better. It's a movie about Star Wars by people who don't like Star Wars, greatOnly thing I'll praise is the designs. I like the transport tanks, the Imperial security droids, the AT-ACTs, etc.
>>97407538>It's a movie about Star Wars by people who don't like Star Wars, great
>>97407538>says Andor is dull>because he's a no games who doesn't know WEG
>>97407387>All Thrawn books (both pre and post Disney) are now canon>So are both X-Wing series and Luceno's books>Nom Anor is now a Grysk agent, as he fits with their modus operandi far more than with those of Vong
Rogue One sucksAndor is good
>>97407699>Rogue One sucksI disagree, and it's still better than any of the ST movies.
>>97407127>TQI watched Dredd (2012) and thought the idea of a giant murder tower was cool. So I set one up for my players to hunt down a Pyke Capo they hated at the top of it. Turned into a 12 session long distraction, but it was awesome because all the characters came out totally changed. Two of them dropped their command positions in the rebellion and opted to become rebel-allied mercenaries instead. The group Politico/Doctor ended up becoming the new Cell Commander.
>>97407699Rogue One has the feel of a slightly-forgettable 40s/50s WW2 film, like Anzio. You need to have a high enough test to enjoy mindless action for 2 hours.
>>97408052based, give us a quick rundown of scenarios they faced in the tower?
>>97408069Sure thing, it was initially planned to be short but the Edge of the Empire Obligation system proved otherwise>Initial PremiseThe party has had a personal vendetta against the Pykes for a long time. A capo runs Tarlana Tower, a massive city-within-a-city in the Corporate Sector. Infiltrate the tower, cause chaos and kill the Capo. The party's corporate ally would spin it as "gang on gang violence" and use it to ban the Pykes from the CSA>First Challenge: Gain Entry CredentialsPyke affiliated mercenaries frequent the Nexus Nightclub, get those credentials!<Obligation roll> Party leader has to kidnap a mysterious scientist also at this club for his separatist enclave.Group manages to steal the keycard and kidnap the scientist, but a string of bad rolls caused a three way firefight in the club that left it in flames.>Second Challenge: Make it to the top of the towerThe place is a total maze with four distinct "levels". The first is a massive undercity, the second a more refined middle class area, the third an industrial district, the fourth the Pyke holding. Party split up, half went to make allies with local gangsters on level 1, the second went to recon level 2.<Obligation roll> Clone trooper's obsession with Order 66 and Republic Remnants. A rogue Jedi was spotted bombing a corporate office and fled to the tower!The party got some gangsters on their side, but the recon team got jedi mind tricked into serving the Jedi as both enforcers and hostages (pic related). Huge inter party combat with dozens of gangsters, hired guns and Jedi cultists fighting each other. A long running party NPC dies in the combat, but the party manages to reunify. They lick their wounds and go to hunt down the jedi>The Dark JediGuy is totally nuts after Order 66 and is holding the entire tower hostage with some well placed explosives. He wants all authorities off his back. The crew wants revenge, so they placate him for a while before they defuse all the bombs.Until...
>>97408115<Obligation roll> The party's politico's past crime family has returned as allies to the Pykes! The group again splits apart, the droids and force sensitive stay behind with the Jedi while the weak minded go to deal with the family. In a bizarre twist of events (and fantastic rolls) the Politico convinces the head of the family (his ex-wife) to step down and live free. The rest of the family doesn't like that and takes them both hostage. However the group convinced the Jedi to help them in exchange for the force sensitive-<Obligation roll> The sentient droid commander has gone schizo and tries killing the Jedi immediately. Leads to a small confrontation where the group works with the Jedi to take down the commander. They manage to fix relations and get things back on trackThey slaughter the family enforcers and double cross the Jedi just as enemy reinforcements arrive. It's a crazy battle and many are close to death, but they get away to once again lick their wounds.>Third Challenge: Clear the Industrial DistrictAlso the security hub of the tower, there are many Pykes here and the crew are low on NPC allies.<Obligation roll> One of the sentient droids is being hunted by the ISB to maintain "Organic Security" over droid sentience. He avoids a honeypot operation and the group manage to kill the Pykes in a series of ambushes and disable the Tower's reactor.>Final Challenge: The final floorThey ambush the disorganized Pyke resistance (which included a tank) and make their way through the absolute chaos before finding the Pyke Capo. They execute her in a classic gunline, steal her stuff and get away before Corporate Security can tie anything to them.
>>97408141I needed a tower raid for my act one boss. Stolen almost entirely.
