>How has romance entered your games, /swg/?
My romantically oblivious character is currently being wooed by a Tomboy Corellian Pilot.

Our Tanky character has a Twi'Lek Muscle Girl who has a life debt to pay to him.

Our Kel-Dor Pilot has rekindled their romance with their ex-wife.

Our Charmer Bothan is hitting his Human Psychotic Ex-Wife soon to be Wife Again Black Marketeer who is also the run away daughter of an Imperial Moff.

Our Zabrak tech girl is forever alone because she spills more spaghetti than Tomoko.

>>53171073
Reducing Autofire cost by far.

>>53171016
>Zabrak tech girl is forever alone because she spills more spaghetti than Tomoko
I am intrigued...

>>53171182
Spaghetti spilling characters are only good for romance/smut writing if they're paired with another character who's the same way

>>53171182
She has the hots for all these cute/hot girls, but ends up unable to get past the crippling social anxiety she faces daily since being orphaned (After Imperials stole her parents) on Coruscant.

She has a group of Droids who she can speak normally too, but goes completely autismal when speaking to others.

The only romance in my game so far is the Jedi obsessive falling in love with a khyber crystal and lightsaber, and possibly me for giving it to her, and the pilot and his jetpack.

How tough is Storm/Clone Trooper armor?
My roommate thinks its splinter protection only, I figured it was as good as modern armor, only lighter, then autists claim its completely immune to kinetic attacks, while in the movies its penetrated by stone tipped arrows...

>>53172162
Technically, the arrows and spears in the movie don't penetrate the armor itself, but rather the material around the armor.

We've never actually seen any non-energy weapons pierce the armor itself, and even blaster bolts don't necessarily always go all the way through the armor.

well based on the last couple of threads, you definitely need the twi'lek reverse trap and her childhood friend combo, you've already got the smug twink, the slutty twins, and what else do you already have planned?

>>53174626

You can always start with a flight, rather than the full squadron... if they're Recon they might go out on mission in pairs and flights. The rest of the Squadron can be dealt with more vaguely in mentions until you're ready to fill out the roster?

As for ideas, a Zygerrian or Falleen woman? They're more underworld species but a couple support the rebels probably.

>The armor was also resistant to projectile weapons and blast shrapnel. However, the plating made running difficult, and was vulnerable to hits at the non armored parts, even against arrows. The armor dissipated energy from blaster shots, leaving the trooper unconscious, and with burns on large areas of the body. If the trooper was shot on the shoulder, it was possible he still went down. This meant that the trooper could survive direct hits, and after a quick bath in bacta, he was ready for service again. The armor didn't protect against blunt weapons though, some hits to the head with a club, or with stones could lead to falling unconscious, or even death, because of brain trauma and damage.

>Stormtrooper armor was capable of protecting its wearer in extreme environments, including deserts, forest, icy wastelands, and limited exposure to the vacuum of space. The armor's torso plating featured environmental controls on its midsection, its black body glove was vacuum-sealed[1] and made of a smart material that could adjust to the wearers body heat and external temperature.[5] Though a rebreather pack was required for extended use in environments that lacked a breathable atmosphere or to filter potent toxins.[8] Troops in the field were allowed additional ammunition and comprehensive survival equipment, with backpacks that could feature field communicator sets, mortar launchers, and blaster components.[2] It was a punishable offense to utilize the armor's internal cooling options in noncritical situations due to its power drain, however many Imperial cadets still attempted to do so. Stormtroopers were also expected to remain in uniform at all times, with the rule considered essential for maintaining the public trust and representing the Empire in a positive, professional manner. By wearing one's armor, one represented the Empire, not the individual.

In short, it's slightly better than modern body armor, but far from impenetrable. Remember that it's lowest bid mass produced armor. It will protect you from glancing blaster fire and a straight shot from basic kinetic weapons. The real strength is that it lets the Stormtroopers operate in any environment

E-Webs are pretty much the standard heavy repeater for a lot of factions, while they don't really chew up vehicles and buildings like they probably should, they do a reasonable job of sending a lot of rounds downrange, for a long way.
Anyone hit with one is looking to soak at least 16pts of damage with Pierce 2, so they're going to be pretty unhappy, if you really wanted maybe a better analogue- replace Pierce 2 with Breach 2 so it can rip up civi vehicles all day and murder people like nobody's business

That said-
Even the M2 and DShK are hard set to bother most modern military light armoured ground vehicles and combat aircraft.

So quick question for you all. I play these games occasionally and was in my flgs when I saw a module for EotE: Mask of the Pirate Queen. I tried reading through the links at the beginning o the thread but the only thing I could find was the FaD core book. I would like to think about purchasing this book but would like to "try before I buy" as it were. Am I missing something from the links up there? Or is my entire endeavour likely to prove fruitless?

Though you're going to have to tidy up the edge of the underglow as it looks like its crept up the sides of the destroyer.

Maya's a pretty cool program, been years since I had anything to do with it though

>>53176976

That's gonna be a bit tough. The smoke is meant to curl over the destroyer and I'm handling it similar to the way they do in rebels: Take a bunch of prerendered ships and throw them over a background. The mist is done in photoshop so I'll be fucking about in photoshop for a bit too.

>>53177258
MC30s, two probably. I got away with just one for a while though. Nebs, one plus the one you get in the core. Kittens, harder to call. I have two and that's about right for both ships and the upgrades they come with, but I know people who have three and use them effectively. DTTs are also awesome and you will want several.

I've been fine with just one of the large and medium ships so far. I really don't think double ISD lists are good, even before current meta. Sometimes I wish I had a second AFII, but not to the tune of $40.

Flotillas of course you'll want like 2-3 of both.

>>53177081
I wouldn't do it either :)

Still, with SW art its ok to go full retard on your backgrounds with upside down cities hanging from trees, 4 suns, huge space benis living in asteroids etc

>>53177449

>>53177461
They're impressive damn ships on the table top. I mostly play Rebels in Armada at this point, but whenever I take Imps I pretty much always have an ISD.

Also you probably only need one Pelta, and that more to complete the collection and get the upgrades.

Most squadron packs you'll want two of. You might be able to squeek by for a while with one of the rogues and villains and one each of the fighter pack IIs, but you will need two of the fighter pack Is plus Corellian Conflict for the new objectives and squadrons.

I'd also recommend going by E-bay and picking up some of the alt arts from previous kits. Leading shots, XI7s, and Turbolaser reroutes in particular.

>>53177528
The alt arts are so really neat desu.
I might just do that.

>>53177187
You should keep the blaster bolts the way they are in this one, they are in fact solid objects being magnetically contained plasma bolts and not lasers.

>>53176554
The TIEs look giant, rather than closer to the camera. I don't know why.

>>53176554
For the amount of clouds in your background, the ships themselves should be more occluded: flying through clouds, creating trails, clouds in the foreground, etc.

>>53177258
The only duplicates I grabbed for rebels was an additional CR90 and Neb (in addition to the core set), a second MC30, and three flotillas. I kinda want a third CR90, though.

Anything else, like a second Pelta or more copies of some upgrade, I just borrow.

>Assault Pelta w/ ETs and ELs
>77 points
>Double arc = 2R2B in front, 1R1B in side
>Average damage = 7.25
>5HP, 8 Shields
>Evade, Brace, Redirect

>Double arc = 1R2B in front, 2R3B in side, chance for APTs on each
>Average damage = 13.35 (assuming not rerolling hits to fish for hit/crits)
>4HP, 11 shields
>2x Evade, 2x Redirect

I'm willing to consider the titles a wash, because having two officers can be useful in harder to directly measure ways. I'm even willing to give the Pelta a slight edge on defense, because of the extra HP, and more importantly, brace. And the Pelta has slightly more maneuverability if it's spamming navigates.

But the MC30 does nearly twice it's damage, while throwing on a crit effect. For what purpose even introduce this variant of the Pelta, FFG?

>>53180132

The Assault Pelta does get BL/B flak letting you use the flechette torpedoes Imps so crave, and that extra hull can be a godsend - some guy at worlds lost 2 MC30s in one game solely to Yavaris'd Luke doubletaps.

That said I agree with you. The Assault Pelta feels like some rebel engineer decided to try and build his own Gladiator SD without understanding that a Glad is more than missiles and light turbos.

>>53180282
It's /almost/a good ship.

Slower, but with engine techs and a corresponding better speed 1. More HP, and a brace. Guns in the front. Better flack. Weird officer shenanigans potential.

But it doesn't have enough dice for APTs, nor access to OEs, nor enough Blue/Red dice to compensate, and it costs too much for what it does get. It could've been a quirky and specialized black dice ship, like the Raider is, especially with a second title tailored for the task. It'll get a small boost from External Racks, granted.

>>53177059
You could take a look at Warbirds. The default setting is dieselpunk and never really caught my interest, but there's a "space age" sourcebook that is pretty much made for adapting the game to Star Wars.

I find the "everything is the same as technology but organic" aliens to be one of the worse kind of sci-fi tropes, and their whole badguy designed to be a threat to the heroes thing (Force immune, Lightsaber resistant, spaceships immune to blaster fire etc.) was overplayed.

>>53176554
The destroyer looks too shadowed to me. They're normally light gray, maybe even a tick lighter than the sky here. And yet it's darker, but not in shadow.

The explosions need a little tweaking, too. In real life, the darkest parts of the fireballs are the parts that are the most see-through. So go through and try to reduce opacity on those, you'll like it better.

>>53183092

>I find the "everything is the same as technology but organic" aliens to be one of the worse kind of sci-fi tropes

I think it *could* be interesting (although maybe not fitting for Star Wars). The problem is, as you said, the "everything the same" part.

Imagine a race that fought with biological weapons and toxins, riding giant space krakens that ripped ships apart with their tentacles and smashed through command decks with their beaks, bypassing shields designed to combat plasma and not squids. Land-battle tactics built around vicious attack space-dogs and hit-and-run strategies.

Almost like the Na'Vi, but more evil and manipulate rather than hippies.

To be fair, I didn't design it. Just filled in the deck plans as sort of a fun 'engineering challenge' type of thing, then figured there was room for a couple of starfighters as a Q-ship kind of affair.

>>53182280
These turned out really good

>>53183092
There was early potential, but ultimately they just sort of ended up like a crossbreed between 'nids and chaos. So they didn't really ever fit in, where severely clichéd as rampaging, nigh invulnerable space monsters and that doesn't sort of really work. Not that 40K is at all 'bad' (some of it is though!) but when you're sort of nicking ideas off 40K, which in turn has basically spent most of its existence nicking ideas off everyone else's fiction, there's nothing there which actually made them very well defined, likeable or just very interesting.

>how has romance entered your games?

I once played a Hnemthe pilot in a short campaign we did. He was raised in more of a melting pot and away from his own kind, so when he learned that his species instinctively disembowels the male after copulation he developed a debilitating fear of intimacy. Ragardless of the race. He would literally quake with fear whenever his femme fatale captain would get flirty.

Should I drop the Intel Agent and replace one striker with Adaptability Duchess?

Hull Upgrade on Tomax is dumb- Lightweight Frame. Then, I'm not sure Intel agent is a good option there, or is systems officer (You have Howlrunner, and you can only hand if off to 2 attack ships....)

Ahh. I'm not that guy, but I know what he's talking about.

You want to look into both Mara Jade and Callista Ming.

Both were characters meant to be Luke's waifu - which would be a huge coup for anyone writing the character, as that makes them automatically the second most important woman in the franchise at the time (after Leia, of course). The authors of these characters both portrayed their characters as Mary Sues, perfect matches for Luke.

You know Mara Jade's story - she was a secret apprentice of the Emperor, went on to be the perfect little smuggler girl and officer in Talon Karrde's operation. Had a love/hate relationship with Luke, who was her old assassination target. Blah blah.

What you probably don't know is about Callista Ming. Callista was an Old Republic Jedi Knight - but not any kind of Jedi Knight, specifically a rogue sect of knights that allow for feelings and families and marriage and multiple padawans per master. So some bullshit.

Now, you're wondering how she's still alive, yeah? I mean, Order 66 went down. Well, she kinda ain't. The Eye of Palpatine, an Imperial asteroid/ship bristling with enough firepower to raze a planet, finds where she and her Jedi lover are hiding, back during the purge. The two of them go on a suicide mission to sabotage the Eye, and she makes a huge, tragic sacrifice to do so - she sheds her body and "dies," but through the Force embodies the ship's electronics.

Yeah, fuckin' weird. She becomes the Eye of Palpatine.

So later on, Luke is INSIDE her and discovers her presence. One of his hot, sexy, young padawan chicks dies... and through the Force, Luke and Callista are able to get her consciousness into the padawan's body. But in the process, Callista loses her connection to the Force.

So she and Luke have to work together, in intimate settings, to get her to touch the Force again. And maybe his dick.

In the end, Mara Jade ended up the winner, and Callista Ming was promptly forgotten by most fans.

Is there a special force power to make people into force weilders?

>>53192830
How interesting that you should ask, let me tell you of our lord and savior Waru.

>>53192830
No, either you are born Force Sensitive, or you are not. There are, however, varying degrees of sensitivity, so, perhaps you could have the character amplify someones force powers but it would be neither permanent nor really useful if the people enhanced got too far away from your messiah lady. So, either make up new force powers or, go with what I gave you.

That's not exactly accurate.

At the time Children of the Jedi was written George had not laid out the "No Families" rule, the other stuff was really Special Snowflake including the fucked idea that trading bodies was a JEDI trick that Palpatine stole, but the Families part was implied to be pretty much normal, it wasn't till after the prequels that of all people Karen Traviss either got assigned to patch them into the prequel era as a rogue sect, or decided to do so herself because she's all about dat family shit.

Her surviving was the worst part of that book, and went on to be one of the two bad parts of Darksaber.

Waru truly was too good for us.

So my character has adrenaline junkie as an obligation.

It seems to trigger somewhat regularly but in situations where it's awkward to want to do something dangerous for no real reason and my DM doesn't want me to take the failure option where the character is irritable and unhelpful.

Any ideas on adrenaline junkie stuff a character can do when nothing exciting is going on but without annoying other players? Wandering off the plot and trying to start a fight with strangers isn't so fun.

Good characterizations and story should come first though, and I don't think TCW could have worked without it. The chips made it a lot more of a tragic event in the end. It's why the TCW clones are remembered the most fondly outside of Cody and Fordo.

>Having a soldier go "wait, this is wrong" and desert is much more powerful than "oh dear, my obedience ship malfunctionned, I'm out out of here" IMO.
But the only ones who removed their chips and deserted were the ones who released it was wrong (also so they could have a few familiar faces for Rebels). The only ones who the chip malfunctioned was Fives and Tup and they were hunted down by their kin. The reason the chip works is because they spent the entire series fighting to be recognized as people, but they have no agency in the end. Palpatine literally gloated about killing the ones who knew they had a choice.

As TFA has shown, this is not a EU only issue.

>>53198938
>Don't forget about Anakin suggesting to put Palps on trial, and Mace going all murderous.
I mean, his position was that Palps would corrupt the trial process and wiggle off the hook like it was made of rubber, then kill the Jedi to protect his secret. Which is absolutely what would have happened. In hindsight, Mace really did make all the right calls, he just made them for the most dickish reasons and couldn't defend his positions without coming off as a sanctimonious bellend.

>>53198891
The republic being ineffective, the jedi order being sclerosed, the megacorps revolting, Palpatine as a scheming bastard, the Sith being revealed (Dooku being just a rogue jedi master), Anakin having a family on Tatooine (and soon to be murdered by Tuskens).

>>53198891
Introduces the idea that Anakin has relationship issues because he got separated from his mother and had a difficult past. Also introduces the political background that leads into the war. I'll grant you that it's not the best of executions, though.

>>53199012
>>53199011
>Introduces the idea that Anakin has relationship issues because he got separated from his mother and had a difficult past.
10 minutes of exposition between Obi-Wan and Anakin would have solved it. Obi-Wan scolds Anakin for getting all emotional and goes "I know you haven't had the best past, but you need to move on, Anakin". Boom, done, character trait established using more or less natural dialogue.
>Also introduces the political background that leads into the war.
>The republic being ineffective, the jedi order being sclerosed, the megacorps revolting, Palpatine as a scheming bastard
Five sentences of opening crawl. Boom, done, established.

Now that I think about it, it shows that Sheev is a man cunning enough to seize control of the entire galaxy without much risk of failure melted face aside, in an action scene. Not bad, Lucas.

It's called cinematography, a.k.a "writing with motions" in greek, because you're supposed to SHOW DON'T TELL.
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY COMPLAINING ABOUT TOO MANY EXOTIC SETTINGS AND SCENES OF LIFE INSTEAD OF ONE TO ONE STATIC DIALOGUES AND LITERAL WALLS OF TEXT IN A FUCKING SPACE OPERA!?

Maybe you should read books instead, anon.

>>53199061
That's somewhat fallacious thinking because any work of fiction can be summed up in 10 minutes, which would make cinema a useless art form if that was the only criteria.

>>53199012
>>53199061
>>53199526

Did Anakin even need to be some punk-ass teenager? Couldn't he have been, like, a trusted friend and confidant of Obi-Wan that bonded with him over the course of the Clone Wars, only to reveal he had a secret family or something?

>>53199157
You could carry that line of thinking out until you go back to the beginning of time. You just have to say, this is where the story starts. George picked the wrong spot.

>>53199157
>It's called cinematography, a.k.a "writing with motions" in greek, because you're supposed to SHOW DON'T TELL.

Okay, so instead of showing an entire movie of Nothing they could've given us shots where Anakin looks at a picture of his mother with a mixture of longing and anger, or we see Trade Federation CEOs arguing with Republic bureaucrats about their unfair treatment in the Senate, or a dozen other things.

Men in Black did this better, dude. Hey, let's establish Agent K as wanting "out" and he's still longing for the cute girl he gave up to become an MIB. How do we do this? You show him watching her through MIB satellite feed! Bam, done, instant characterization.

What's the point of the swg Discord? Serious question.

Not sure that's notable. Knowing Zeltrons, there's a good chance she *started* combat naked.

>>53182348
I doubt they'd avoid them, both because it's a cruel thing to do and because they'd feel the rejection themselves. They'd be far more likely to try the "fuck the pain away" approach, even if it means they have to slip high-powered aphrodisiacs into the depressed person's food because the they can't get aroused for one reason or another (which is possibly the reason they're depressed in the first place). Come to think of it, they probably completely cured all forms of sexual dysfunction eons ago. Being unable to fuck would be a fate worse than death for them.

>>53200573
Really what's amazing is that they weren't completely wiped out by space AIDS at some point or another

>>53187686
>wouldn't a depressed person begin to stalk Zeltrons just to feel artificial happiness, like a junkie?
Not if their depression is so severe that they're literally unable to believe they deserve any kind of happiness. That's when you call in the Zeltron Gentle Rape Force, to make passionate and caring love to them until they can finally give themselves permission to enjoy it.

Guys, I just realized something.
It makes no sense for the X-wing to be called a X-wing since Star Wars uses the Aurebesh instead of latin alphabet, and their x is a delta.
My view of 90% of the rebel ships just crumbled.

>>53202112
That would explain why there's still a galaxy.

Why are the weirder races never force sensitive? It's always off-humans.

You never see Sith Wookies or Jedi Jawas or whatever Watto's species was called I forget.

>>53202130
You've gone way too deep man. Turn off your computer, go take a walk, come back to Star Wars after some space

>>53202130
It also makes no sense that their language is just English with the same alphabet written with different characters.

I can accept speaking English for practical reasons. But the alphabet? Disgraceful.

Why not something interesting? A syllabary or heiroglyphic writing system. Draw inspiration from Chinese or Arabic.

Disney can afford to hire people for this, damnit. Hell, there's hobby conlangers who'd happily do it for free.

>>53202153
>Wookiees
Lowbacca is a Jedi. He's Chewie's nephew(?)

As for most other races it would either look too silly (like the examples you gave) or they are just so small a population compared to the galaxy your chance of seeing one in general is really small and force sensitive on top of that would be minuscule. There's only like a couple hundred thousand Jedi Knights right? In a galaxy of billions or trillions. Sensitives are super rare, and ones who get formal training are rarer still

>>53202130
The Latin and Greek alphabets exist in the Star Wars galaxy as High Galactic and Tionnese respectively

>>53202195
It serves double purpose, for normies it looks alien and that's as far as they are gonna go. For ultra nerds it provides opportunities for Easter eggs by allowing for relatively easily translatable fun or clever messages.also if I had to choose between their made up language to be more made up or have a new ship or species or cool design I'd always pick the latter

>>53202264
>also if I had to choose between their made up language to be more made up or have a new ship or species or cool design I'd always pick the latter

TFA made like a billion dollars before even considering merchandise.

They can do both.

>>53202284
Maybe not percentage wise but linguists are expensive. For a spoken language sure but for a language that isn't even for any purpose than vague background messages the return is pretty weak.

>>53198487
Best thing? Probably the concept of an Imperial Civil War and the galaxy remaining in turmoil. I also didn't outright hate the Vong. I enjoyed a lot of the deeper exploration of themes in Star Wars and the sides of conflict, and if you say that's a bad thing because "space opera", then you don't know what a space opera is and keep using that term.

What I disliked most? The usual stuff: the fanwankery, and the Mary Sueism. A lot of EU publications reek of greasy, grubby fanwanking, in particular books like Rogue Squadron, but others suffer from it too where any real meaning or substance is thrown out the window so the author can hotglue their favorite fictional faction or group of characters. I also hated how some of the Imperial warlords were portayed as sub-mentally retarded, especially a certain Director.

The Mary Sueism is self-explanatory and usually falls into fanwankery, but sometimes it's from author-inserted OCs like Mara Jade. Luke, Leia, Han, and Wedge also got heavy Mary Sue treatments depending on who was writing them. Some others as well, though those particularly were the most grievous examples.

Catalyst, the pre-Rogue One novel, shows a much better Krennic IMO. He's much more competent, genuinely manipulative, and you actually see the effort he puts into getting the Death Star built, as well as the frustration with the various failures along the way. Krennic's behavior in Rogue One is basically his slow-motion nervous breakdown after the thing he's been busting his ass for twenty goddamn years to build gets snatched away on a whim by Tarkin.

honestly i really liked Catalyst, the audiobook guy does a very good Mads impression and Galen was always more interesting than Jyn

What would be a good place/time to set a SW nation-building/warlord kinda game? I don't know the setting too well beyond the movies, but I'm open to expanded universe stuff

>>53198589
>Best: The Imperial Civil War and warlordism

Space Feudalism or Space China is always the best kind of space opera.

>>53203548
Immediately after episode 6. The Emperor is dead, the Empire is collapsing, the New Republic is trying to claim legitimacy that most don't believe it has, and warlord kingdoms are popping up everywhere, be they Imperial Remnant, bandit kings, or independent systems.

This setting is also immediately familiar to people who've only seen the movies, and allows probably the most freedom for independent powers to arise. Plus it allows you to send one more middle finger to Wendig for completely wasting that entire era.

>>53203548
Right after the establishment of the New Republic.
You got a young regime that has to deal with the aftermath of the war, the imperial remnants, all the moffs trying to carve out kingdoms, various systems using the event to grab their independance, the underworld bosses trying to stay in place while their lieutenants jump at the opportunity...
Someone claiming to be a the leader of some rebel cell could probably use the turmoil to attain a position of power or eliminate his opponents; it's basically what happened in post-ww2 France.

>>53198487
BestThe Shadows of the Empire/Rogue Squadron as told by the Video games
Worst: Ewoks season two and how it made the characters into cunts and retards.

So my girlfriend bought me the X-Wing beginner set, and now I ahve an overwhelming urge to buy millions of little plastic spaceships.

Fucking help me.

Is there a good way to get a bunch of X-Wings and Y-Wings easily/cheaply? Like some kinda 'Rebel Fuck Force Five' boxset or something?
I can see one for an a- and b-wing but cant see one for my waifu and her slightly uglier friend.

>>53205243
Sadly no, if you want X-wings you're getting them one at a time through the core, x-wing single pack, or rebel transport and if you want Y-wings its just the Y-wing single and the scum Most Wanted box that's one Y and two Z95s minus any of the cards or bases to field them as rebel ships. They're also not particularly amazing ships thanks to the magic of power creep, with each having one good pilot/build and the rest ranging from acceptable to dumpster trash.

There's hopes for a Rogue One themed Heroes of Scariff box that would be an X and a Y but considering by the time it would be coming out they'd need to be releasing tie in ships for Last Jedi I think the hope is dead.

>>53180831
/swg/ designed a bunch of theoretical ships based on the description of the new Republic Battleships we have get to see. They're described as being hatchet shaped, and there were some pretty good ones that I wish I had saved.

So I just finished reading Guardians of the Whills. Instead of finding out who the fuck the Whills are, or indeed learning anything about the various non-Jedi sects, I got two hundred pages of Baze and Chirrut fucking around.

I can already tell you're a boring person.

>>53206724
You have to also remember, that the Jedi were extremely rigorous in their requirements. Only a select few could ever hope to have the capabilities to become a Jedi, and an even smaller number of those actually would have the willpower and the temperament to suit.

So there being a tiny fraction of a percent of people being Jedi makes sense.

Also, canon kinda fudges the numbers a bit - in Legends, it wasn't just "ten thousand Jedi" prior to the Clone Wars, it was "ten thousand Jedi Knights were headquartered at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant" - and Coruscant was just one of many of the temples, even if it was the biggest and the "main" Temple, there very well could have been a hundred thousand or more Jedi by how open they left that to interpretation.

But canon seems to indicate a lower population galaxy than Legends postulated, so a lower number of Jedi kind of makes sense in that case.

Still an incredibly tiny fraction, but that's the breaks.

>>53208375
There were other canon temples, however, so it is possible there were more jedi besides the ones within the main temple.

>>53208409
True. But we also had Kanan directly state that in his time (ie just before the Clone Wars, while he was still a padawan), there were ten thousand Jedi.

>>53208457
>>53208375

The prequels kept the jedi population low as a plot point. The jedi can't fight the separatists alone because not only are they not soldiers, there aren't actually that many of them around to begin with.

And those extra temples were mostly abandoned or gone by the time order 66 came down. They existed nominally, but the praxaeum ships and secondary temples had largely stopped operating, outside of maybe having a handful of jedi at a handful of temples.

>>53208505
>>53208457
I always figured it was like space marines in 40k, a tiny fraction but enough that they'll show up when a story demands.

>>53208225
To be fair, I didn't see the young adult novel part when I went in. Probably would have adjusted my expectations more.


>>53208353
Forgive me for expecting a book entitled "Guardians of the Whills" would contain anything about the Whills and/or the guardianship thereof.

It's literally two hundred pages of "oh no how will they help the starving orphans" with cameos by Saw Gerrera and a really bad 'hey kids radicalism is a major bummer' moral shoehorned in.

It's Chirrut being all "oh, i'm blind but I see so much more than everyone else" and Baze being all "i'm grumpy but i sarcastically take care of my friend". Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat again. Then Saw Gerrera is all "hey everybody let's fight the empire and coincidentally fuck over all of these orphans" and then it's back to Baze and Chirrut doing the same goddamn schtick for the rest of the book.

It's shit, is what I'm saying. It could have been great, we could have seen the two of them in the glory days, exploring the mysteries of the Force. Instead we got the same fifteen minutes of screen time from Rogue One, repeated ad nauseam.

At least it made the Sith Code canon again. Even if it was just in some smarmy chapter-opening quotation.

>>53208589
>It's shit
I thought it was a pretty good sidestory that offered some good characterization.

>>53208589
Seems like you're looking to fill out a wiki, than read a book for the characters. I don't think you'd even like what your describing since it seems you don't like the characters anyway. They'll never go into detail on the Whills for another few years at best as well.

>>53208375
10000 is still way to low and another example of Sci-fi writers having no sense of scale. An average Jedi isn't even all that special. We are so used to seeing Anakin/Obi-Wan and Yoda that we think that they are what all Jedi should be measured too. You are not going to convince me that force sensitivity is so rare that there is only 10000 Jedi in a fuck huge galaxy

>>53209012
Thats 10000 Jedi Knights.
I mean its still low, but consider every other force sensitive. There are tons of others in the Jedi organization. Tons more that get sent home.
Despite seeing lots of Jedi, force sensitives are rare as fuck.
