A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….

STAR WARS has been re-cast! Stripped from their own timelines and thrust into the roles of iconic characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Padme Amidala and more, characters from various sources of fiction are now central to the storyline of one of the greatest Sci-Fi epics of our time! Imagine a world where anything is possible and even the slightest differences could mean changing an entire species central to the history of STAR WARS!

Players are encouraged to be creative with their choices but must also remember that while there are major and minor characters absolutely no one’s character will be forgotten in the least! If you feel that you are being left out, please jump in somewhere! As long as it doesn’t interfere too much with other characters (I.E. battles, epic monologues, things of that nature) then I see no problem why your character couldn’t be off with another group somewhere. Just remember that if you are on Naboo at the time and everything is happening on Tatooine, you can’t mystically appear there beside the others. If you take a ship to get there however, that is perfectly alright.

Certain aspects of the universe will also affect characters. When the group first meets Anakin Skywalker, he is but a boy at the time. Therefore, any character that ends up taking the place of young Anakin would be at that age. An example of this would be using Kakashi Hatake (Naruto). Young Kakashi would now be nine years old in the first game, aging as the games progress.

Other aspects that change would be names. Characters wouldn’t be called by their scripted names in Star Wars, instead being referred to as their true names. Using the same previous example, Obi-Wan would train young Kakashi to become a Jedi Knight. Kakashi would become Darth Vader. Kakashi would be the father of Luke and Leia (or whomever their counterparts are!)

Finally, species would greatly be affected. There are many alien races in Star Wars and we see them frequently with humans as the minority. This is fine! If Jar Jar Binks is replaced by the Hulk, then the entirety of the Gungan race would be Hulk-like aliens. If Chewbacca were to be replaced by Darkwing Duck, then consider the Wookiee race to be duck-like from then on!


RULES
1) When choosing your character, Make sure to list their name as they appear in their original show/comic/etc first with the character that they will be replacing in the story in parentheses. Example: Roronoa Zoro (Obi-Wan Kenobi)

2) Keep things simple yet fun. While it is great to imagine Superman in the role of Han Solo, we can’t have him vaporizing Darth Vader with his heat vision in Cloud City or busting free of his carbonite prison before Leia has a chance to rescue him. Story trumps everything here, so don't change too much!

3) If you are unfamiliar with the storyline of Star Wars (which happens believe it or not!) don’t worry! Your fellow players will help guide you and I as your Game Master will do the same! Just feel free to ask Out Of Character in the thread or elsewhere so we can get you back on track.

4) Don’t steal the spotlight! This kind of ties into #2, but keep this in mind: yes you are the Hulk. Yes, Hulk can smash. Hulk cannot smash everything without getting into trouble. If the other players are at a story-centric part of the game (Yoda training Luke on Dagobah) then Hulk had better not smash Luke’s X-wing… bad Hulk.

5) Have fun! That is what this game is for, so please have lots of it and spread it around! I would love to see a variety of characters from other movies/books/cartoons/etc taking the roles of these characters! So what are you waiting for?! Get those characters in!
