Is the time right for a Star Wars RPG based on Traveller rules?

It would be an interesting intellectual exercise. However, we have enquired about a Star Wars licence before (for A Call to Arms, back in the day), and the requirements for it are... a lot.

Love Star Wars. Not interested on a commercial level.

Would be nice for a licensee to cover the Sequel trilogy as well as the first two as well though...

Licensing someone else's IP is always a minefield. You need to raise the price of the product to cover IP licensing costs. And you could lose your license at any time. Look what happened to FASA and its Star Trek license. And the Star Wars license went from West End Games to WoTC then to the current license holder. Someone recently lost the Conan license, and it went to another publisher.

I look forward to being thoroughly cancelled from my local gaming society for my convincing and emotionally intense portrayal of an array of Gungan NPCs.

OMG, my last Star Wars character was a Gungan!

Tarka Bols, a Gungan Jedi.

Specifically, the very first Gungan Jedi. He had a lot to live up to. Loved the way his ears flapped when he was using Force Speed.

Never got him to Sith Lord...

The only thing more alarming than a Gungan Jedi or Sith is a Gungan in the Traveller universe.

"Lookie, lookie. Issa Imperial patent. Meesa bombad noble! Mooie-mooie ganna upgradin' da starport to classen-B. Pitty hot!"
