I eame to Star Wars in 1977 with only my own expectations, not some overfed media hype machine that seems to accom- pany s0 many flash-in these days. 1 had devoured classe science Rction novels growing up, and was a far af movie serials when they cetertained me ater school on my falks’smal-screen TV. ‘But Star Wars! That’ always been ‘something else As a business journal~ {stim Los Angeles had picked up ‘some early rumblings about the film, “There were a few mentions in the Hollywood trades and in a new science fiction magazine named Starlog. What really did it for me- ‘and what became the first in a barn full of treasured Star Wars memora bilia=was a brochure sent to exhibitors to entice them to rent the film for their theaters, Wow! If the movie was anything ike the huge color photos in this oversized 28-page booklet, accompa nied by a description of the fim and lis main characters, I couldn't walt to see it, Then, three weeks before the general opening on May 25, 1977, 1 attended a press screening on the bbacklot at Twentieth Century Fox From the moment the Star Destroyer passed overhead and kept going and ‘going, I had a: new passion in life. What hooked me personally was another scene without words. Luke Skywalker gets up from his aunt and ‘uncle's dinner table in frustration, serately wanting to leave this dusty, baren planet—and the road- block to his future that it represents. We walks up a small hill and easts is yes toward the horizon to wateh the twin suns of Tatogine set as same of John Wilkarns's most plaintive music ‘wells ithe background. 1 could taste Luke's yearning, his need to leave home and establish himself as his own person. Iso related to that. For Luke, the hero's journey was about to begin. 1 was alreatly on my journey... . and at that poing, 1 didn was going to end The hero's journey? It was th much more, as George Lucas deliber- ately set out to create a new mythos ‘using many ofthe tenets of classic he-pan movies ‘now haw ether and ‘mythology-tenets that date back to before recorded history. There were Few heroes in the late "70s, after ‘Vietnam and Watergate. Movies had gotten dark, the lines between good and evil lured. Then along came a film that, subtly, tied into mythologi- cal archetypes and spread through worldwide culture, That, and it had really cool special effect ‘The fact that George Lucas's epic space fantasy still going strong after 25 years says something about the filmimaker, the films, and the audience, The saga Isso ingrained in the world- wide popular culture that writers and artists Feel secure using dialogue a5 ‘punch lines without further explana tion. Siar Wars helps give many of us 2 shared identity and a sense of ‘community. Its the dialogue, the characters, ther elationships, the visual effects, the musie—Yes, it's all Saturday matinee, but i's the best ‘Saturday matinee imaginable, Star Wars has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of people worldwide in large part because the saga celebrates heroism and the limit less potential of the individual. tt ‘engages us. Ie excites us. Ht inspires us, ‘And most of all, it's fun. I's fun to watch, fun to collect the merchandise fun to read the books and comics, and fun to play the games, like the ered ibly inventive one you hold in your hands, For an entire generation, Star Wars has been a defining cinematic ‘moment, inspiring countless yoursg ‘men and women into pursuing creative careers ofall types. The popularity of Star Wars is growing. The original Sear Wars generation—those of us who grew up with these films on the brain—seems to have passed on a Star Wars gene to subsequent generations. (The advent of movies on videorassette didn’t hurt much, either) i can't just be nostalgia that daw people to the saga. After all these years Star Wars is still cool. Whether it's Han Solo with his Evi grin, Darth Vader's sharp but ominous black outfit, the crafty worn look of the spaceships, the eye-popping battles, the lightsaber swordplay, Star Wars still feels hip. There's timeless clement about the Took of the films and the emotions they provoke that other films just don't seem to have, If you've been a part of Star Wars fandom for a while, or returned to it with the Special Editions or the start of the Prequel fils, then you know what a wonderful voyage it has heen But if you'se picked up this book asa relative “newbie,” 1 wat to weleome ‘you as you proceed on your own path of discovery, your own “hero's jour ‘ney.* What a joyride you're in for!

We eal these group-created stories "adventures" A ‘Star Wars aavenure features plenty of action, lots of ‘opporturities for combat, cool villains, epe plots and a sense af wonder and grandeut Typically, the game consists of adventures that resemble episodes in the movie saga, One adventure might play out ina single game session: another might stretch across several evenings of play. A session can Jast as long as you're comfortable plying, ffom as short as one hour to as long ‘asa twelve-hour marathon. Most groups get together and ply for two fo four hours at time. The dame can be stopped at any time and restarted when the players get back together ach adventure consists of interelated scenes. A seene ‘might feature some kind of challenge or roleplaying encounier, oF it could revolve arounel combat, When there’ na combat going on, play is much more casual. The GM ‘eserines the scene and asks the players what their charae~ ters do, When combat breaks aut, game play becames mare structured, and the action take place in founds What Characters Can Do A character can ty to do anything you can imagine, just so Jong as it its the scene the GM describes.

While the rules for making these rolls follow the core mechanic, each type of rolls used fora slightly different purpose. Skill Checks To make a sil check, roll a 20 and add your characters Skil mosifier for that particular skill, Compare the result 10 the Diffieulty Class (DC) for the task at hand. The DC may bie determined by the skil’ description, set by the GM, or stablished by another character's check result. Unoppased Checks: An unopposed skil checks success ‘depends only on your character’ action, For example, climbing 2 chain to get out of a repuorlift repair pit depends only on your character's skill and luck, so the Climb check is compared to a target number provided by the ski's description or set by the Game- master, If your result fs equal to or higher than the DC, the attempt succeeds, Dppased Cheeks: An opposed check occurs when another character actively attempts to prevent your charac- {er from succeeding at 3 given task. The DC for an opposed check isthe check result of the character opposing your action. The opponent's check right be made using the some skill you are using ora aifferent skill, as defined in the description ofthe skill you are using. The character with the Higher result succeeds at the action being performed, while the character with the ower result fails In the ease of a tie, rll the checks again tnt one character achieves a higher result than the other. For example, if your character tries to hide from an ‘opponent, your Hide check fs opposed by the opponents Spot check, If your result is higher, your character suecess- fully hides, and your opponent fails to spot him. IF your result is lave, your opponent spots yau, and your attempt to hide fas Ability Checks Ability checks are used when a character doesnt have any rai in a particular skill and tries to use tha skill unirained. Note that some skis can't he used untrained. For example, if your character wants to bluff a couple of Imperial officers but doesn’t have any ranks in the Bluff ski, the GM calls for a Charisma check (Charisma i the ability associated with the Bluff sil. Ability checks are also used to determine success when no skill applies, Trying to move a heavy cargo container, for ‘example, requires a Strength check To make an ability check, rll 20 and add your charac: ter’s modifier For the appropriate ability. I the results equal to.or greater than the DC of the task, the check succeeds, Attack Ralls To atiack an opponent, olla 420 and add your character's attack bonus, I the eslt equals oF exceeds the opponents Deters, the attack sucects, (na successful atack, you fll to determine how much damage your atack deals to the opponent.

When all of a charac ters vitalty points ae gone, any additonal damage reduces wound points ‘citi potent result onan attack) bypasses any vitality points a character might possess and strikes tireily at that characters wound! points, An attack may cause a critical hit if the attack fll sa natural 20 for, for certain weapons, 2 19 oF a 20), That result represents the threat oF a crticl hit, Then the attacker makes a second attack roll o contin the critical hit If this second attack rol sieeceds, then the critics hit confirmed and damage{s applied to the target's wound points. See Chapters Seven nd Eight for more details Impartant! There are two types of attacks in the game. A tanged attack uses a weapon that attacks opponents at ‘stance such a5 a blaster oF a howeaster. A melee attack ses u weapon that attacks opponents in close quarters, ‘ich asa lightsaber. ibroblade, or your own fists. Your character may have a different attack bonus for each type of attack, The Combat Round Most of the thme, game ply fs relaxed and casual. The GM sets the scene, and players take tums describing what their thacters ae doing. When the situation calls fori, the GM. has the players make die rll (skill checks or ability checks) to determine the results of their characters’ actions.
