Is there a link to a place where these scripts can be read? I really can't do comic books but if some plain old text version of them is somewhere, I'd love to read them... or try to.

There's lots of script stuff here; to get what you are looking for, you'll need to click on "Star Wars" under "Star Wars Scripts" on the right, and you'll get the various drafts of the script.

Happy reading!

P.S. They haven't gotten hit with a cease and desist or take down notice, probably because they are a non-profit volunteer group and copyright regarding failed scripts and office memos is a HUGE grey area. So mods, if you feel you need to take down this post due to the greyness, then do so but at least give me details as to the why.

Yay! Thank you!

Having played in a SW game based on the idea that the movies we have seen are actually propaganda films created by a holovid maker named George Lucas to make the Rebellion look like justified underdogs instead of terrorists lead by royal Jedi bloodlines (all of this is called the Skywalker Paradigm, which you can google), I have some experience with SW adaptations. And I'm keeping up with the comic, which is okay.

I would say that getting your players up to speed is a sensitive issue. When you're ready to run this game, give them an elevator pitch, not a sermon. Reveal more and more in digestable morsels, as opposed to breaking down all of the details, issues, alterations, repercussions etc. Your players are smart, I'm sure, they can put it together. But we have certain thresholds of attention.

At least I do, and these were some issues I had with our Skywalker Paradigm game. I had fun a lot of the time, but there were huge discussions that I had heard before, or didn't need to hear the whole thing.

Either way, good luck with that game, I hope you guys get all inspired and come up with some awesome times.

Wow, just wow.

Thank you for sharing this, but ... wow.

Edit - By this I mean the Skywalker Paradigm. I had never heard of it before.
