I want to run a Star Wars Saga Edition game

Hello to everyone you drops by my thread, thank you for viewing.
  I came to this site to join a game using Saga edition, which is taking some time to get started. In the mean time, my interest in the system has been reignited. With no games seeking new players, at least as far as I can see, it makes sense that I make one myself.
  I have a conundrum around what type of game to run. So I am opening the mic to the floor. I have been DMing offline for almost a decade and played in a few different online rp websites similar to this, but not as complex and robust as rpol appears to be.

What game do you want me to run, rpolians?
  Era/year?
  Sandbox/Rigid Plot?
  Mostly Canon/Let's Kill Farmboys on Tatooine and see what happens?

In reply to Dracie (msg # 1):

I'm not familiar with Saga Edition (only the old WEG stuff).  What's it like?

Era/Year:  Old Republic or A New Hope
Faction:   Naboo or Rebellion, respectively.

Sandbox, sure.  Let's have fun.

Let's not kill any farmboys and say we did... ;-)

I'd be up for this.

I'd go for the ear between episodes III and IV. For faction either rebellious minded or already rebelling crew of people. Probably start as a small cell, but expand the thing further out towards possibly joining the Rebellion as Rebel Alliance forms up. Sandbox(y), but with clear goals. Canon.

I'm interested in a SW Saga Edition game.

I don't really have an era preference, but I'd like to be part of whatever Faction is active in Galactic Events at the time (rather than just being smugglers or whatever.)

I much prefer having some kind of goal or 'plot', though I don't know how strict you need to be about it.

As for Canon vs Alt-Reality, I'd prefer a Canon galaxy but at a distance from truly Canon events.  For instance, if we're part of the Clone Wars, I'd rather be in a unit that isn't explored in the movies/tv series than be under Skywalker's command.  If we're playing A New Hope era Empire, I'd rather not find myself on the Death Star...let's just hear the news of that one second-hand, thank you.  ^_^

I'd be interested in a SW Saga game as well.

I'm pretty open with the Era that we are playing in actually. I am more up on the ones from the movies over anything from some of the books. But Rebellion Era would be fine with me as would Clone War Era as well. But yeah, I'm pretty open to what the majority decides upon or the GM is interested in running in.

Pretty open on Faction as well though I suppose any of the 'good guys' is the best way to go. But I do agree with Godzfirefly on his comment about being on the outside of events from the movies. Clone Wars, not under the command of Skywalker or having to be on the Deathstar among other large notable and already establish events. Those make great notes to hear about in the course of the game while we make our own notable contributions.

Oh, adding to what I wrote before: I'm fine with the Old Republic -era as well - that is, Knights of the Old Republic and such.

This is my favorite style of Star Wars, I have played almost all of them.

Era; I wouldn't mind the "Dark Ages" or Order 66.
Faction; doesn't matter too me.
Playstyle; Sandbox with main and side quests.

Thank you all for the interest. It appears that, from those expressed here, a small group of rebels/revolutionaries on an Imperial controlled world during the Rebellion Era appears to be the most appropriate.
  I have some ideas forming, around starting small on a planet before launching off into space and eventually seeking out/finding the Rebellion. I will be allowing Force Sensitives, with the warning that there are eyes everywhere and you would need to be careful if you don't want an inquisitor on your trail.

What posting rate are we talking?  (I already have a heavy involvement in some other games...)

Anything Old Republic or anything past the Rebellion Era
Republic, like being the good guy.
I mixture of both wouldn't be bad.
Don't really care here.

I just would like to be high enough level to have a Prestige Class levels.

I kind of like the "Rebels" era, as we don't know what is going to happen, and thus are less restricted in things that "can and can't" happen.

My preference is either Old Republic or Force Awakens era, but I'm good with anything.

I'd be interested. My preference would be for an Old Republic or TFA-era game, preferably with at least a loose plot.

Seems like we might be getting a squad or at least two small teams started....

Looks like I'm a little late to the party!

I've loved Saga Edition for a long time and own physical copies of every book save for the most recent one.  Particularly happen to dislike the Rebellion Era, but I love the Old Republic and post-Rebellion Era (like Force Awakens Era).  This is mostly due to the fact that I think the Rebellion Era games have been played out quite a bit in the last ten years.  So, I'd be more up for trying something in the other Eras, if possible.
