My interpretation was also, "this seemed like a regular D&D world... but everything changed when the Nefashu attacked."

I'll admit, I was kind of assuming that people would want to go with prequel-style lightsaber battles rather than classic-style. Classic style probably doesn't want 4e as a combat system from what I recall. Star Wars kinda demands a system where actually getting hit fucks you up. Rename HP "Bat...

I've heard 4e D&D's combat system described as "swashbuckly", which suggests it would do well for lightsaber duels. Now we just need: Something for space combat a bunch of quick and simple mechanics to cover all that other minor stuff you might want to do like sneaking around and gathe...

Note that you're throwing the flasks directly at the target, not trying to add SA to AoE. (Although from a balance PoV, that might be fine too, not sure)

The two big things Star Wars has going for it as a setting for a TTRPG are: Lightsaber fights in exotic locations with lots of jumping and terrain hazards. Fighter-plane dogfights... IN SPACE! Any game mechanic or system that discourages players from doing these things is a bad game mechanic for a S...

The introductory adventure gives everyone 1 conflict for agreeing to work with an imperial officer, because he's secretly evil. He's not evil in the context of adventure.
