hmm…do you think that, in the SW universe, you can buy Star Destroyer toys? Miniature stormtroopers? AT-AT playset? Some little kid on Alderaan has the complete collection?
In the past, I’ve played the West End Games d6 version, and the WotC d20 and Saga versions; right now, I’m using Fate Core (my favorite system for encouraging roleplaying), with some additional rules I wrote, to capture a bit of the feel of the old WEG rules.
In my headcanon, “Star Destroyer” is just a convenient English translation of the Galactic Basic word for that type of ship. This can also be used to justify why the renowned Rebel fighter is called an “X-wing” when thr letter X does not exist in Aurebesh.
Actually, it’s a T-16 – in A New Hope, Luke is seen briefly playing with a similar model, after he’s been sent by Uncle Owen to clean up Artoo and Threepio.
Yes, the thing he claimed to use to shoot womp rats at home. I presume that activity is like the Star Wars version of teenagers riding ATVs in the back woods of rural Arkansas.
Just to clarify, it’s called a T-16 Skyhopper, which is the same as Luke’s own vehicle he uses to “bullseye womprats in Beggar’s Canyon” and which can be seen in the background of the Lars Homestead garage.
Yeah, the Constellation was a class of ships in Star Trek (including the USS Stargazer and USS Constellation). But none of the Enterprise ships were that class.
Of course it is possible that the ships are taking the name of their designer, Kevin Star, and the Death Star was in fact a collaboration between him and this chap.
In case anyone doesn’t know, Mark Hamill included a clause in his contract that he would get one of every Star Wars toy ever made. His collection would be worth a pretty penny… except that he gave most of them to his kids to play with. Because they’re toys; that’s their purpose.
