Heh. I don't even like StarWars that much, but that screenshot makes me want to play that game SO HARD.

What I think would be neat is if you started out as the galactic scruffy rogue/mercenery type of guy and about 2/3 of the game was played that way. Then, you have some sort of goal or mission you complete and you have the option of retiring on your ill-gained spoils, or joining the jedi academy and completing another 1/3 (much more difficult) endgame where you slowly gain in jedi rank and either go save the galaxy or convert to the dark side and destroy it :)

Also it should have some fast and simple ship-to-ship combat. And those robot stormtroopers from the first Dark Forces game. Those guys were awesome.

All this is purely hypothetical of course. I just liked the game idea and felt like riffing on it.

And why's that ? Yeah, it would work, but work in different way than in Rebellion era.
Soldier/Scoundrel/Scout could work easy in that era, jedi class could be available later in game. And game could be story oriented with roguelike fights at locations like bases, cities, villages, caves, on board ships, space stations, etc. With worldmap maybe and ship (space travel, planets.. also combat?). Lots of quests and side story lines etc. Big game but *worth* effort.
