It feels to me a lot like the whole 'spin' that hollywood directors seem to want to put on a story—to make it THEIR story. That's fine and dandy when you do something completely original. But when you build off of someone else's success and imagination, then you should at the very least RESPECT that source material, not just twist it to suit whatever 'original' idea you come up with.rologutweinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186173153359166269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691226717378144247.post-53932340527846430782009-06-04T22:02:44.638-07:002009-06-04T22:02:44.638-07:00*Thank you*.

Seriously, do you get the feeling that a lot of the authors really don't like Star Wars?<br /><br />If our d6 campaign ever passes the Rebellion/Thrawn eras, the Vong will get sucked into a black hole on their way into the GFFA. That should be a pretty big improvement, right there....cygirlkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184555135209584335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691226717378144247.post-78940033825872851402009-05-27T07:43:58.557-07:002009-05-27T07:43:58.557-07:00In real life, governments collapse after Rebellion...In real life, governments collapse after Rebellions all the time (look at the French). But Star Wars just isn't 'real life'. Its a space fairytale. Why can't it have a happy ending—well, at least for a century or so.rologutweinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186173153359166269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691226717378144247.post-23188041943250326782009-05-21T19:45:49.557-07:002009-05-21T19:45:49.557-07:00Rolo,

Though I suppose there are many historical references where a rebellion led to a republic which collapsed in short order, it does seem like the efforts of the heroes, told in such a sweeping tale, would all be for naught in such a quick period of time. Fey'la could just be the Republic's version of Alcibiades (from Greek history). Not only are there the main heroes, but a corps of heroes that would not let all they worked for just go up in smoke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
