After GMing a few games, finally got to take a stab at playing...
it was a blast!

Here are a few highlights from the The Crew's first cantina-brawl:
-Seven (the pitdroid slicer) killing the lights at exactly the most inopportune moment possible
-Taarbukk (the wookie) swinging his vibroblade (and missing because of said "lights out")
-one hyphenated word ... flying-jawa
-in explanation of the above flying-jawa: Tiike (the jawa mechanic), weaponless yet unfearful, launching himself from atop the bar like a dwarf from a canon, beer bottle in hand, towards the nearest bad guy (who, other than getting covered in beer and glass, was otherwise unharmed)
-Vell (the human doctor) dropping the first baddie from the back of the room with her blaster, whilst shoving patrons out of the way
-The Outlander (the human explorer) slugthrowing from the shadows of the ceiling rafters...

It sounds like a lot of fun, and some creative thinking and roleplaying.

It does sound like a fun game, those "flying jawa" moments are so great!

Originally I thought this was going to be a thread about a campaign where a lone drifter and war veteran is harassed to the breaking point by the denizens of a backwater town.

NO ONE TOSSES A JAWA!

NO ONE TOSSES A JAWA!

haha! to imagine him saying that in his tiny, high pitched jawa voice makes me laugh...

how very Gimli of him

Originally I thought this was going to be a thread about a campaign where a lone drifter and war veteran is harassed to the breaking point by the denizens of a backwater town.

Actually, that could be a kind of cool game. The players roll into this small town in the middle of a manhunt looking for a veteran of the clone wars who has been bullied by the local law enforcement. Make him an ARC trooper who had an epiphany and left the Republic and the lawman from the side of the separatists. The trooper just wants to be left alone, the lawman is suffering from Small ***** syndrome (with a strong streak of poor loser) and is sending his posse into the hills to gun him down.

The players can sit back and watch the body count rise, help bring the trooper in, try and defuse the situation or otherwise make sure that Justice is properly served.

I might have to steal that sometime soon.

Heh yeah, I was thinking the same thing Desslok!

Did the Jawa scream, "Utinni!" as he flew through the air?

Heh yeah, I was thinking the same thing Desslok!

It does sound like an interesting adventure. Just be prepared for the players to decide that "Justice is properly served" in a manner which you *completely* failed to anticipate. (e.g.: Doing something unspeakably nasty, planting evidence that the vet is responsible for it, waiting for the sheriff to go hunt him down, planting evidence that the whole mess has been trumped up by the sheriff to cover up something even nastier, and calling in the Imperial Authorities, then laying low to watch the fireworks.)
