Again I'm not interested in the thread crapping. The premise is how to get the type of game that would come from emulating the elements and precursor elements of the original movies such as Western, Samurai, WWII, Fantasy. Also not using elements that are detractors to that sense to some significant degree.
I noticed that recently that cutting out Dude, and Man from the vernacular was very helpful, which made me think that treating the language used by the characters in a similar manner you might if playing medieval fantasy (but not using the period words and structure) is a way to filter. In the same way that talking in specifics about Earth stuff won't do well in many D&D settings, it similarly seems to detract from the Star Wars setting.
