It’s pretty sparse, all things considered

      It’s funny, because that entire RPG line (the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG) provided a lot of good material for worldbuilding obsessed nerds - it’s often the only cited material for a lot of what you would think are important concepts (like socialism). They’re usually cool about the socialist, labor rights, and liberation stuff in the setting, certainly more so than cringe didney stuff that makes “anarchists wot believe in nothing” central villains.

        FFG was making a lot of great SW tabletop stuff during the 2010s. I liked the X-Wing dogfight game quite a bit. Never had an RPG group during those years, but that sounds like a dope one!

        That’s more on the Marvel side of Disney, right? Maybe I’m too live-slug-reaction soypoint-2 whenever Saw Gererra comes on the screen to realize you’re supposed to think he’s “too extreme” or whatever

          Oh that’s not even getting into Saw! Check out his fallen order portrayal for that “too extreme doesnt care about anything” stuff. I meant these clowns https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nihil

          The RPG system is great though, possibly my favorite all around - fun mechanics, depth for people who want to get into it, and super accessible for new players.

          Lots of resources online like https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_RPG_(FFG)_Wiki

                Andor is the best Star Wars. No other sw has had a character say “everyone is a liberal except me”

                best star was convo

                Luthen: Think of it. Think of Spellhaus in flames. Neither of you could do it on your own, but together-

                Saw: Kreegyr’s a Separatist. Maya Pei’s a Neo-Republican. The Ghorman Front. The Partisan Alliance? Sectorists! Human cultists! Galaxy partitionists! They’re lost, all of them lost! Lost. What are you Luthen? I’ve never really known. What are you?

                Luthen: I’m a coward. I’m a man who’s terrified the Empire’s power will grow beyond the point where we can do anything to stop it. I’m the one who says, “We’ll die with nothing if we don’t put aside our petty differences.”

                Saw: Petty? I am the only one with clarity of purpose.

                  god that show added a richness to Star Wars that i really didn’t think was possible

                  maybe we’ll have a genre in the distant FALGC future that’s just like “treats of the past, but really well written and performed”
