Evolve with them or die without them.

i don't quite understand?
should i just let them have all their crazy stuff?

I didn't want to even consider dealing with this, which is why I created an independent setting to use with the FFG Star Wars System. Can't complain about or abuse Canon that isn't there.

Of course, I said I would do this at the start, with the promise that the players would have opportunities to become more important to the setting than they would otherwise in the Canon universe.

Star Wars itself doesn't really make for a good campaign setting. It's the same with Forgotten Realms. You have to deal with the Drizzt/Elminster effect, and fanboys will go crazy with Canon and exploiting their knowledge of the universe.

The Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook adresses some of that.

Make sure they stay interested and focused on the adventure you have planned for them, make sure the adventures are fairly open ended, and learn to improvise. It's a lot less scary than it sounds.

>they are already starting to cite crazy stuff from the wiki back at me "can i find x in the game world" "can i have y exotic creature as a pet" "how available is z technology?" etc. etc. I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed with their expectations of what this will be, i wanted to do a fairly simple pirate adventure with them, but there is just so many bizarre and crazy details in the lore that they keep digging up. How do i prevent them from going "Let's go to Dathomir and capture a rancor"?

You need to explain to your players that their characters aren't 21st-century nerds with full access to the Wookieepedia. Nobody knows that rancors are native to Dathomir except for a handful of people, none of whom are the PCs.

This. Player Knowledge vs. Character Knowledge. If someone says they know something, when their character wouldn't, you can just change that info about them. Or throw it out.

Nothing will get the point across like saying, with a shit-eating grin, "Well, there are Legends that say that, but in reality..."
